Show Notes:What's got you Geeked this week?!Ron:OpenELEC Matt:UnravelUnity 2D DevelopmentDaredevil Season 2 - Trailer 2 Lex:DeadpoolPenguin MintsLevel Up Parenting Tip:NO, means NO.  It's a simple concept but one that sometimes ourselves but definitely our kids try to justify.  Maybe a friend wronged them so they make an excuse or justification.  Maybe you say NO to someone when they ask you to do something you don't but find a reason to be ok with it later.  These moments crop up multiple times in our lives.  Sometimes the issues are small but small justifications can lead to larger excuses and justifications and that's where you as a parent have to step in and explain that NO means just that NO, don't do that.  NO, it's not OK.  (excerpt)
