* StopHavingFunGuys: It's a well known scientific fact that Scott will end you if you even think about playing VideoGame/TeamFortress2 instead of "hardcore" shooters like NaturalSelection or ''VideoGame/{{Counter-Strike}}''.[[invoked]]

* TrueCompanions: These two are this as well as the entire Front Row Crew their site is named from.
* WhamEpisode: What do we do? (March 27, 2008). Long and short of it, a MontyPython episode is postponed to have a 40 minute talk about how religious zealotism killed a young girl.

From this so-called Front Row Crew, a duo of geeks set out to make a show that spoke to "their people". Rym and Scott began GeekNights in 2005 and have been podcasting ever since.

GeekNights is notable both for the frequency at which new shows go up and the high production quality of each episode. GeekNights has four shows from Monday to Thursday, respectively covering science and technology, gaming, anime/manga/comics, and general subjects. Additionally, GeekNights is extremely well recorded and edited, and Rym and Scott are notably good public speakers; the two of them are also known for doing large numbers of panels in conventions across the United States.

In the early 2000s, the Rochester Institute of Technology had one of the largest and most successful anime clubs in the United States. Every week, students would meet to watch a video from the massive library of old VHS tapes and the new [=DVDs=] that were coming out at the time. It wasn't long before a distinct seating pattern was noticed.

!!The podcast features or discusses into the following tropes:
* ArtisticLicenseHistory: When questioned, Scott was fairly sure that the medieval period came before the Roman Empire.
* CloudCuckoolander: Scott is a little strange. He frequently makes incomprehensible leaps of logic or comes up with mad schemes which he hasn't thought all the way through, which can occasionally make the podcast take on a rather surreal tone as Rym tries to understand what he's going on about.
* TheComicallySerious: Scott frequently falls into this.
* DareToBeBadass: They frequently challenge Geeks to not be afraid to do awesome things.
* DeadpanSnarker
* HeterosexualLifePartners: Did I mention they were dorm mates turned room mates for years.
* HoYay: Frequently mocked by their friends and the GeekNights forum. "Scrym" is even the common way of referring to the duo.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Scott will sometimes be a huge jerk about something, but in the end, he only means to help.
* ProudToBeAGeek
* RunningGag: "Woman!" (For when it's cold), "Warm Today", "[[{{Pokemon}} Six Geodudes, can't lose!]]" and "[[{{Pokemon}} You can't [verb] ten [nowns]!]]" amongst others.
* StopHavingFunGuys: It's a well known scientific fact that Scott will end you if you even think about playing VideoGame/TeamFortress2 instead of "hardcore" shooters like NaturalSelection or ''VideoGame/{{Counter-Strike}}''.[[invoked]]
* StraightManAndWiseGuy: Rym throws out a constant stream of jokes, puns, and wordplay, to Scott's complete lack of amusement. They switch roles whenever Scott has a crazy idea and Rym attempts to explain to him why it is insane.
* ThoseTwoGuys: At conventions where you see them, they are always together. ALWAYS!
* TrueCompanions: These two are this as well as the entire Front Row Crew their site is named from.
* WhamEpisode: What do we do? (March 27, 2008). Long and short of it, a MontyPython episode is postponed to have a 40 minute talk about how religious zealotism killed a young girl.
