Stephan Spencer on CBS TV Sacramento - "Are You a Geek?"

This is a clip of Stephan’s interview about Are You a Geek? on CBS TV Sacramento.

You need a little reinforcement here. Well, you know, this segment was designed for Cody. As we all know, he geeks out about so many different things, and Stefphan Spencer had contacted me to bring him in and talk about geeks being chic and how to bring out your best inner geek and inner self. You're an author. You have a podcast, tell us a little bit about what you do.

Well, Tom Hanks loves space so much. He's the ultimate space geek. Rosario Dawson's a Trekkie, a Star Trek geek. Leonardo DiCaprio is a Star Wars geek who has so many Star Wars collectibles. They took up so much space in his house that he donated them all to charity.

People are proud to be geeks these days. In fact, 87% of those surveyed said they don't. They admit they don't hide their potential. It's embarrassing. Passions are interests.

They share it, and they find that so many other people share the same geek-out qualities, right?

They're not sneaking their geek.

Okay. So I couldn't really come up with anything that interesting that would make my inner geek come out. I don't think many people here in this building would be on the same page with me, but I do have someone to stand in for Cody: Julian, our director of photography. I'm going to let Julian be the test taker here.

Okay. Great. Question one. Like Leo, do you take pride in your geek toys?

Yes, I do.

And collectibles?

Yes, I do. Yes, I do.

Awesome. Question number two. Do you have more than 50 apps installed on your phone?

No.

Okay.

No.

Question three. Do you own a drone?

No.

Okay. Question four. Is your movie, music, video game, book, or comic book collection a source of pride?

Yes, indeed, yes.

Question five. Do you wear character clothing, including pajamas? Any time other than Halloween?

Nailed it. Yes. Yes.

This is why he's here. This is why he's here.

Question six. Have you ever been to Comic Con, VidCon, or WonderCon? That's a telltale one right there.

Yes, I have.

Yes. Question seven. Do you wear a smart watch, smart glasses, or a fitness tracker?

No, I do not.

Oh, okay. Question eight. Have you ever taught yourself an artificial language like Klingon or Elvish?

No.

But he would.

We'll do that later. Question nine. Have you ever seen more than two Harry Potter, Star Wars, or Star Trek movies?

Yes.

Boom. Okay, final question. Have you ever named a pet, child, or computer after a superhero or comic book character?  

I bet you have.

I'm just going to go to all of them and say yes.

All right. So if you answered yes to one question, you're possibly and you were probably geek three or more and you're definitely geek. And I have to tell you, you're definitely a geek.

Geek and proud. And that's what it's all about. The self-help guys. Cody would be so proud of me for recruiting somebody to do this segment. All right. We'll toss it to the break. We'll be right back.
