This is a little taste of what you get. When we talk about autism on the spectrum of things, I feel like what autism is is a soul at the spirit that has inhabited a body in this realm and is unable to exist at its full capacity because this realm is so limiting in what it can accept in what it can give space to. That is a working thing that my brain is.
Because really the autism is the hypersensitivity and what that does to the neural network and the way that you exist. When you see children who are nonverbal, children who have hyper-hyper-hyper-sensory responses to things and they are unable to take care of themselves, etc. etc. I feel like that is really something bigger. It is not just like some physiological thing. I don't think any of this is a physiological thing.
Because when I look at the evil that takes place in this world, I be like, no, that is coming from somewhere else. That feels natural. That feels like some supernatural shit. That comes from the soil. So that is my moment for this night.

So we got to get into it side effects of being a black nerd aka a blurred. I know a lot of y'all definitely identify with this one. So that was my nervous spicy folks. Let's get into another episode of Small Dose Podcast. So funky. My name is Amanda and I am a blurred black nerd. My name is Amanda and I am a blurred black nerd black nerds. Black nerds unite. That's what this episode is all about right here at the Small Dose Podcast. Today is side effects of being a black nerd.
Some of y'all are like, well, what constitutes a black nerd and I think that there is something kind of expansive about it, right? Like for some people like nerd dumb might simply just be about like being really good at school, you know, like, my God, like I'm really like a nerd, like I'm really like good at like school.
Right. But that's not just it. I think that nerd dumb has been something that we have seen has expanded beyond just academia and like academic prowess to really the idea of being an expert like to the point of obsession about certain things. And I think nerd dumb in like a general general sense is also just like, do you like things in an OD way and you can nerd out about stuff that people might not even associate nerd dumb with.
You know, like there's football nerds, but you're like, no, that's a job. It's like, no, that's a football nerd. Like if you can sit here and tell me like the playbook for the 1992 New England Patriots, baby, you a football nerd.
Yes. And nerd dumb has been a thing that we've seen grow in the zeitgeist as something positive over the years. Now when I was a youngster, they had revenge of the nerds and like everybody in that movie was somebody that you're like, oh my God, like they're corny or they're do we be will get to that.
And I feel like one of the biggest things that I've been really happy to see is the growth of the black nerd because for a while there, it was as if being smart was a bad thing like within the black community that became like a thing that people were somehow like making fun of people about.
I just think of the Chris Rock joke where he talks about, you know, being around his cousins and they like, oh, you a smarty ought nigga, huh? Huh? Oh, you a smarty ought nigga. Bet you can't kick my ass. And you like, okay, I probably can't, but I could in a quiz bowl. You feel me?
So, you know, it scares me when I look at just like the climate of the country and the efforts that are being made to really continue to ramp up idiocy and idiocracy, right? And not just on like a mainstream level, but also specifically around black history, around black identity. Like we have to become nerds about us like literally about our own history and identity like we have to become obsessively interested in that because there are people that are nerds about oppression. Okay.
So when we talk about the concept of the black nerd, I just want you to know that over the course of this episode, it's expansive. It's not just going to be specifically based on like being really good at calculus. It's also not going to be specifically based on having watched all the Lord of the Rings films several times. I mean, I'm speaking for a friend. Definitely just watched.
I don't think y'all understand. I have watched the fellowship of the ring at least 35 times by now. At least one ring to rule them. One ring to find them. One ring to end the darkness by them. It's very serious. It's very serious. I have a Jedi tattoo. Y'all. I had literally have a tattoo on my wrist of the Jedi symbol and this messed up because the person who did it was not on their theme. They would bullshit in. And so it's really ugly.
But I have to get it fixed and at some time I will get it fixed. But like that's how serious. Like for us black nerds, we really be about our life. Like we really, really be about not just the nerdness of being into things. But I think for a lot of black nerds, our connectivity to like actual, whether it be comic books or like artistic spaces of nerdness, it is like a home.
It's like a place we found home in that we may not have found in like traditional black spaces. So we take it very seriously. Like I don't know why I find home in Star Wars, but I do. I do. Maybe it's because I feel like you know what I feel like I need to start this damn episode. All right. Let's get into the gym, drop it. I got enough time to think about all of this. I got enough time. So stick around. Maybe by the end of the episode, I will figure out why I find home in Star Wars.
Actually, I think I just figured it out. Okay, we'll get to it. We'll get to it. Get to it. In the meantime, between time, let's drop a gem or two. Jim, drop in. Jim, drop in. Jim, drop in. We drop in on these. All right. So today's gem drop in for this episode is nerd versus dweeb. Okay. Big difference.
These are both terms that have been coined to describe outliers. Right. And I feel like as we have seen, like the expansion of language around neurodivergence, we have come to understand that most nerds are neurodivergent.
And it's actually a reflection of their intellect, right. It's actually a reflection of their ability to have like brain activity operating on a level that is not considered normal. It's above average. And when it is applied to like specific spaces, it can be really expert level things.
I know so many stories around like people who are neurodivergent that are absolute obsessive about like a particular thing to the point where they know as much as people who have went to school to study this, whether it's marine biology or dinosaurs or dogs, you know, I feel like I've seen it really around like animals a lot.
But nonetheless, that used to be something that I feel like was shit in on when really as we look back as like, oh, you was Hayden. You was just Hayden. Like when Nikeya told me that I think I'm an encyclopedia while I was on the playground at last elementary school in 1987.
She was Hayden. She was Hayden. We became best friends shortly thereafter, but she was Hayden because your girl, yes, your girl is an encyclopedia proud of it. Been in black nerd since 88, baby, 87, 85. Since I could read your girl been a black nerd because I've always been into the thing. And that's what nerddom is.
Dweebdom, Dweebdom in my opinion has a different element to it. I feel like dweebs are folks who may be smart, but they're judgmental about it. And so it isolates them. That's what I feel like. And so they be like in their dweebdom, it's like, they're just like assholes, right?
Like they talk like this. Like you can be a dweeb and you're just like, people don't like you. And they don't like you because you're super smart and they're, hey, and they don't like you because you are a bully about your nerddom. You feel me? That's to me what a dweeb is. Like you're just like not cool because you're just like not a cool person. It has nothing to do with your intellect.
Now, I will say that nerddom is really a unique thing because it's so unique to the person. I feel like a dweeb is not a dweeb about something. They're just a dweeb and how they exist. And their dweebiness makes them like repellent. A nerd is because they're really into something or some things. And so they end up actually connecting with people through that, right?
They may be people who are like, oh my god, like you're so obsessive about XYZ is weird to me. But there's also people who are like, oh my god, I'm obsessive about that too. Let's hang out and eat lunch together in our costumes. Oh my god, I brought a cake for you today. Oh my god, you brought a cake? No, a cake. So now we can all wear our capes at lunch and be fucking nerd weirdo nerds together. Like that's the type of shit I used to dream about. I've been a nerd y'all.
Anything I like, I'm a nerd about. I don't just be passively liking shit. That's also the difference between nerds and dweeb's. Dweeb's are literally just in the mix of things in an energy space that throws shit off. Nerds are all about I am about this shit right here. Now can that throw the energy off maybe, but it also is really just about them being so passionate that really that can bring people to you.
And there you have it, like nerds are not passive. They're passionate. And dweeb's they actually are just like. Stop being fucking weird. Maybe it's the difference between weird and strange. It's like nerds are weird and dweeb's are strange. Strange I'd be like. I don't like that way. I don't know. Strangely throwing me off. But I say all that to say that if you are a dweeb that doesn't have to be who you are, you can change anytime.
Translate that dweebiness into nerdiness and see what happens. Stop being like, oh, my weirdness is a thing that I have to defend and it then creates a hostile exchange and actually look at it like my nerdyness is a thing that I'm proud of. And watch the difference because I know some of y'all listening. You may be dweeb. You might be going to Thanksgiving dinner and like your your family is like, my god, Daphne, she's such a dweeb.
Because they're stank, you feel like I got to defend myself. But you know, you don't got to defend yourself. You just got to be you. And maybe that means also having things giving with your fellow nerds. Let's get into these damn tays. I know y'all got questions. I also want to point out that today on our show, we are joined by some of my fellow nerds. This is Grogu or Baby Yoda and this is my dire wolf. Winter is coming.

I don't think I understand how much I love being an nerd. It gives me so much joy. So much joy for real. And I'm not even sure when that started. I'm trying to think about it. I've just always been obsessive about the things that I like. They say that's a cancer trait by the way that we become like experts when we like something.
And I'm also like a collector. So it's like if I like this thing, I can't just have this one thing. I need to get like the set, which is odd because I never got into Pokemon, but I think that's because it came out like right when I started realizing that men existed. And so then I was like, oh, I'll just collect men. That's another episode episode. Just a side note. It's true. In my hoades, like don't let three. I'll be finding a crew. I'll spread it out over time, but collect them all.
Shout out to Texas A&M. Okay. Our producer, AJ is behind the camera like, oh my god. Oh my god. You know what? You have to understand AJ when I speak like this. Like people are listening and they're like, oh my god, it's not just me. It's not just me because I know somebody I was out there how in two you were home. You were home. You know, from myriad of reasons, maybe a daddy wasn't around.
And so you were seeking connectivity and looking for love in all the wrong places or maybe your dad was around and you were looking for love in all the wrong places. Nonetheless, or maybe there was a lot of fine. You were like collect them all. All right. First question. Are you planning on naming more pets after Star Wars characters? Oh, man. Where are you guys talking about? You guys know me so well. Okay.
So let's get into black nerd dumb. So I have five pets. That's a whole other conversation. I have five pets. All of them are named for black sci-fi characters. Yes. I wouldn't say that I'm a sci-fi fanatic because I feel like that's a very specific genre that you have to be like really into. Like I wasn't watching the science fiction network.
I wasn't there when it was changed from the science fiction network to sci-fi, but did I watch the expanse? Yes, I did. And I feel like if you watch the expanse and that's taking you from like, oh, I like Star Wars to I like sci-fi. So I do think that that did expand my sci-fi sensibilities. Did I really love Starship Troopers when I was a younger person? No. Because Starship Troopers wasn't really sci-fi. It was really like porn-fi.
Okay. It was literally like, why are there titties in this? But did I like Stargate? Yes. Do I still believe that there are Stargates? Perhaps. I think maybe there were. I think maybe there were. And then eventually like the aliens were like, we have a cut it off because they act and up down there. They act and up down there. We can't let them come back. We can't let them come back. So now it's like a one way. Right. It's like a one way.
I say all that to say that. So some of my animals are named after Star Trek characters. And that's literally like the one thing that my father and I have connected on like in this lifetime Star Trek. My dad used to religiously watch Star Trek the next generation. And so I grew up with Captain John Lepacard of the Starship Enterprise in my consciousness and space. The final frontier.
These are the voyages of the Starship Enterprise. I'm hearing it in my head to see God new life and new civilization to boldly go and no one has gotten before. That was the one thing we connected on. So I have animals that are named after Star Trek characters. Now Jordi is named after Jordi La Forge, who was played by of course,
Cuntacante, aka reading rainbow, aka love our burden. Now I'm taking a step further. His character on Star Trek had a vision impairment, which is why he was wearing a banana clip visor. Okay. Jordi, my dog has one eye. So they share not just a name, but they share a vision disability. So Jordi is named Jordi Lafer for Jordi La Forge. Keeping up with the Star Trek of it all, we have Hury, who is named after Lieutenant Nyota Uhura of the Starship Enterprise.
Okay. Rest in peace in the shell, Nichols. She was a black woman who played the role of Lieutenant Uhura on the first Star Trek with Captain James T. Kirk. And she actually didn't even want to take the role. And apparently like word got to Martin Luther King that she didn't want to take the role or she didn't want to stay on the show. And he like pulled her to the side and pulled her coat and was like, says, like, we need you in these spaces.
We need to see you in the future. We need to see black folk in the future. And this is a role also where you are in representation in a space where folks aren't expecting black people to show up. And so we need you there. You're actually doing something radical and revolutionary by just being on the show. And so she stayed on the show. So my cat, Hury is named for Lieutenant Nyota Uhura. Then we have my Star Wars characters. Star Wars is...
I don't even know how Star Wars came into my life, but I don't know what life without it. I just love Star Wars. And I think for nerds too, especially black nerds, like there's something second there, like as black people we have our own culture. And then nerddom allows us to have like an additional culture, like in abundance of culture. And then just the way that we do culture when we come into nerddom is its own thing too, right?
Like when you see Comic Con, like you'll see people dress up as characters and then you'll see black people dress up as characters. And then we be adding swag to stuff, like we be doing our own thing. Do I have to remind y'all about when Wakanda Forever and Black Panther came out? We couldn't just go to the movie. We couldn't. We had to do it all the way up. And you know your girl did.
But I have three animals named after Star Wars characters. Of course the original OG himself, Lando Katrician, who is named for Lando Katrician, played by Billy D Williams. He was the mayor of Cloud City, also read it out hand solo. But then he came back, Yamsen and got everything on track. And you know they got rid of Javidahead, etc. So we said, okay, you know, he was also like, you know, just the finest man in the galaxy. And that's really what it is.
Colt 45 every time. Then we have my two kittens. Now I know you're like, well, how you got so many animals because my ex brought home two kittens. And then we broke up a month later. So you know what I'm here with the two kittens. They're actually very lovely. Their names are Jedi and Mando not to be confused with Lando. I'm sure it confuses both of them. However, Mando is from Andalorian because when he was a kitten yet a big old head that looked like a helmet.
And Jedi is, I just, you know, we got to show love to the Jedi. We are at a time right now where we have to be Jedi nights and how we are maneuvering. So she keeps us on our toes in this house because she is a Jedi night just in how she maneuvers. So those are my animals. And that's my black nerd dumb answer to that. And that was at gingemary 313 shout to Detroit. What up, doe?

Next question. How do you think the perception of nerds? Blurreds has changed over time. I think I said this a little bit in the intro, but I think it's changed over time because at one point in time it was almost as if people looked at nerds or blurbs I should say as like not really being black. Right. It was like oh y'all ain't black black like y'all are over there. Whereas I know for people like me like that felt really offensive.
It felt like why do I have to transfer my blackness in order to enjoy this space of like creativity and artistry. And as we've gotten to see like more black characters be introduced in these spaces and be heralded. I think it's given people a lot more license. But at one point in time I think that's where some of that ostracizing feeling came from it was like oh so you into that and you not into this then that means you're not black.
It's the same way that like they'll tell little boys like oh if you're into dance but you're not into football and you're not a boy and it's like no no like I'm still a boy but I'm over here doing the torsita versus a touchdown like what's the problem.
And as a comic I started to see that same element right where it was like if you were a comic and you're talking about kind of like nerdy things people would be like oh you're not a black comic you just a comic that happens to be black kind of vibe. That's literally why I created smart funny and black originally smart funny and black was a showcase it was actual like just standup show.
And it was a standup show for comics that I felt like were just basically not getting there just do as black stand us because they weren't talking about like your typical black topics in the typical black comedic way like comic view or deaf comedy jam. And so I said no I'm going to start a show called smart funny and black and it really is going to be comics who are expanding what is considered black comedy and it ends up being black nerds all the time.
So that's how I feel like that's changed and that is a question coming from end of moon low at end of moon low. Next question what's your most preferable subject matter in your vast realm of knowledge well at Elizabeth D Rivera. I would say in my nerd dumb my favorite subject matter would be hip hop followed a close second by gamer phones. And I am actually like a little rusty on my geo tea lately because you know like it's just isn't a part of my daily life as it once was but your girl.
I was looking at the supplementary materials like there was a point in time where like I could safely say that I knew the history of Westeros better than I knew the history of the United States. I'm not exaggerating it was so fascinating to me because it felt like mythology in seventh grade when we did our mythology unit with miss daily.
I kept the book like after we did the unit I was like can I just hold on to this and like still like delve into it and she really was like at first like I'm like let me learn more please can I learn more and she was like okay fine so I got to hold on to the book I love mythology and I feel like you can felt like that. But I really love talking my hip hop from a nerd like academic kind of point of view because I am a very big believer that black popular culture.
I guess maybe I should even just say black popular culture I'll expand it I love talking about black popular culture as a portal through which black representation has had to move through when we have been silenced and when we have been oppressed.
And so popular culture became this device through which we could exercise our identity when it's constantly being suppressed and oppressed in like actual real life so that's why like when we talk about characters like darks going to live and Claire hox the ball like those are real people.
Like for black people like those characters have value in a similar way as like actual human beings like family hammer and Diane Nash so I really love talking about my vast knowledge of black popular culture within a context that is greater than just like I like that show because I think that it really does hold a greater context that's a great question thank you.
You know what's also great questions the questions were about to answer next in our seal squad only section of questions yes we're about to go to our bonus questions section so shout out to everybody who is a subscriber on patreon just so you know we got much more coming at you much more coming at you with this patreon so you better stay tuned all right let's get into it.

So in our bonus section one of the questions was like how do blurs find each other in the wild and you know the thing about that is that I said I'm not going to say the flantica's y'all got to go look at that section but. For this one time I want to talk about how being a blurred help me to like connect with somebody that I just didn't even think I was going to connect with and I was in Mexico on vacation and I was.
On this like excursion and it was just me in the tour guide and I'm not a lot of y'all being a little bratty because I was very annoyed how cold it was but we were like doing like water things and so it was like I don't want to go in there is go and I can tell that he was like.
Low key annoyed but he kept it I'm going to tell you I he kept it together he kept it together so like halfway through the trip that we ended up having lunch and over lunch I'm not even sure how this came up but we started talking about avatar the last airbender and I am a blurred about avatar and so was he he's a lord he's Mexican he's a lord about a avatar and so like this person who I don't think he had like beat for me or anything but like we just didn't have any real.
Like we just didn't have any real connectivity like this got us over a huh where we were able to like genuinely like see each other outside of just like you're the tour guide and I'm the tourist and really connect and talk about how terrible the first avatar movie was and how excited we are about the next one and we got to talk about the difference between
the first era and and those series and we both agreed that the first series is superior because it's more in nature based versus like the core series is more like city based and I'm just like not interested in that but he did put me on for anyone who's listening to the fact that in the core series we get to actually learn about the first airbender which I did not know about I couldn't get through core I y'all I couldn't get through it I couldn't get through it but I really was in hindsight lasting to myself about how
we are in like a jungle like in the middle of lia del Carmen and we're connecting not about like the nature not about the synotes no we're connecting about do we really think Katara was annoying shout out to if all my nerds and no my blurred that are listening and so that was just a cool moment of blurred dumb where my blurriness got me not just even connect to other black people but to
connect to somebody from a whole other culture and we ended up changing the whole energy for the rest of the day for the day whole energy so you know this blurredness this blurred life it's something I have leaned all the way into and I feel like it gave me a whole other dimension that made other people even connect to me more and that made me see myself more identity is one of those things that as
I can see that the end of the song is a psychic sense of place it's a way of knowing like you're not a rock you're not a tree you're just this thing over here and you have to basically define what that is and you don't realize how often your identity is determined by things that you
don't like right your identity is so often determined by your traumas so like blurred dumb is this thing where it's almost as if you're getting to determine your identity based on the things you love which feels like so much more empowering so much more positive than it being based on you like getting through things which is the valid part of who you are but damn how beautiful is it to get to love
yourself based on the things that you love and immersing yourself in that and feeling so proud about how much you know about it that's why like when we talk about relationships like I want my partner to be a fucking blurred about me that to me is something that I don't think we understand like nerd dumb is not about you know being an outcast or a fucking oddball it's literally just about what you find interesting and how much energy you are putting into it in a way that makes you an

but I just feel like the nerd about your partner is such a beautiful thing and that's how I am as a partner like I'm a nerd about you I want to know what can you like I want to know you know what time you go to bed like I want to understand you know the ways in which you take like I want to know everything about you the same way I want to know everything about Hogwarts I want to be able to take a tour through your existence the same way that I hope one day I can take a tour through the shy

it literally is a story about revolution it is a story of people coming together and using not only their powers as a community but literally the powers of energy aka the force to dismantle an empire that has been formed to solely just exert power over people for no other reason than to hold power and all of them are actually people that are bereft
of joy and so they have become an empire of narcissists in order to fulfill something that's been missing from them we're living in that right now we're literally living in it right now and we're watching it and some of us may not know what we're watching but I knew what I was watching and I think I started to be able to see what I was watching because I've seen it already in these other forms
