Y'all, we're getting real about something that's got the whole internet buzzing - those Epstein files that just dropped. We're talking 3 million pages of documents that have people asking questions, demanding answers, and refusing to accept the runaround. It's time to stop playing games and start demanding some straight talk from the folks whose names keep popping up. What's cooking in this episode: Why the internet is undefeated when it comes to exposing the truth The art of asking yes or no questions and actually expecting yes or no answers How billionaires and powerful people think they can control the narrative The wild theories about "jerky" and what that might really mean in these files Warning: This episode is going to make you question everything you think you know about accountability in America. We're not sugarcoating the uncomfortable truths about power, money, and the games being played while we're not paying attention.

Join Cult of the Living Dead as we plunge headfirst into cosmic nihilism, nerd fantasy, and rotoscope spectacle in Heavy Metal (1981). In this episode, The Dale, Cea, and Twan unpack the film's cult reputation, tracing the corrupting journey of the glowing green evil known as Loc-Nar as it threads together a chain of brutal, sex-charged, and apocalyptic tales across time and space, from doomed astronauts and warrior women to undead bombers. We explore how Heavy Metal collides science fiction, sword-and-sorcery, horror, and rock-and-roll excess into a delirious animated assault on morality, power, and desire. More than four decades later, it endures as one of the most abrasive and confrontational cult animation landmarks of the early 1980s.

Jeramy Keetch, Director of Talent Acquisition at Nerdy, traces how his Midwestern upbringing and global service experiences shaped his leadership philosophy, one rooted in empathy and adaptability.

How 'bout that Ode to DS9 on Starfleet Academy?  Let's take a deep dive - well, relatively deep dive.  Mid to deep.  Shallow.  It's a very shallow dive.

In this lively episode of Wise_N_Nerdy, Charles and Joe once again roll the dice—literally—to guide the conversation through fatherhood, fandom, and plenty of laughs along the way. The episode kicks off with the Question of the Week: “What's a weird talent that you have?” Joe admits to a surprisingly impressive (and mildly dangerous) skill—tossing food into the air and catching it in his mouth—while Charles confesses he is unnervingly good at towel snapping, a talent that may or may not have struck fear into siblings everywhere. With the dice deciding their fate, the show jumps first into Parliament of Papas, where Charles and Joe tackle a modern relationship dilemma: is it ever okay to skip ahead in a show you're watching with someone else? The discussion balances humor, honesty, and hard-earned dad wisdom, as they explore trust, spoilers, and unspoken TV-watching rules. Next up is the “How Do I…?” segment, where the hosts get real about helping kids with homework—especially when it's been years (or decades) since they last saw the material. From relearning concepts on the fly to modeling perseverance and curiosity, Charles and Joe share practical strategies that resonate with parents everywhere. Then the episode hits a high (or low, depending on your tolerance) point with Bad Dad Jokes, featuring a special guest appearance by Joe's son, Bob. Bob delivers a rapid-fire barrage of jokes so groan-worthy that the segment earns a new name: “Groans with Charles.” It's wholesome, hilarious, and peak Wise_N_Nerdy energy. The dice roll again, ushering in “What Are You Nerding Out About?” Joe dives into the anime Easygoing Territory Defense by the Optimistic Lord, praising it as a low-stakes power fantasy isekai that's perfect comfort viewing. Charles follows up by nerding out about something closer to home—recent snow days—and the unexpected joy and chaos they bring to family life. The episode wraps with “Daddy, Tell Me A Story,” as Charles and Joe reflect on the fandoms that shaped them growing up. They focus especially on Star Wars and Star Trek, discussing how these universes sparked imagination, values, and lifelong connections that they now share with their own kids. It's a heartfelt reminder of why fandom matters—and how it bridges generations. Whether you're here for parenting advice, nerdy tangents, or laughs that make you shake your head, this episode invites you to Find your FAMdom and enjoy the ride.

This episode of Wise_N_Nerdy brings together fatherhood, fandom, and mental health as Charles and Joe are joined by special guest Todd Sarner, a licensed psychotherapist, parenting coach, and the founder of Transformative Parenting. Blending nerdy fun with meaningful conversation, this episode is a perfect example of how pop culture and real-life parenting lessons can coexist. The show kicks off with the Question of the Week: “If you could have any two IPs do a crossover, which two would you choose?” The conversation quickly spirals into delightful chaos as the hosts imagine dream mashups like Star Trek meeting The Lord of the Rings, Quantum Leap crossing paths with Doctor Who, and even Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles teaming up with Demon Slayer. It's imaginative, passionate, and exactly the kind of nerdy debate fans love. As tradition demands, the roll of the dice sends the crew straight into a round of truly unfunny bad dad jokes—the kind that hurt to hear and somehow hurt even more to tell. Groans are plentiful, dignity is lost, and the tone is perfectly set for what comes next. In the “Daddy, Tell Me A Story” segment, Todd shares his personal and professional journey into therapy, opening up about what led him to create Transformative Parenting and why helping families navigate emotional growth has become his life's work. It's a heartfelt look at how experience, empathy, and intention shape better parents and healthier kids. That naturally leads into the “How Do I…?” segment, where Charles, Joe, and Todd dig into the benefits of therapy—especially for children. They discuss breaking stigmas, building emotional tools early, and how therapy can be a proactive support rather than a last resort. It's an encouraging reminder for parents that seeking help is a strength, not a failure, and a powerful way to Find your FAMdom through support, connection, and understanding. The dice then decree it's time for the Parliament of Papas, featuring a legendary parenting tale of epic revenge. The hosts unpack a story where a father proves a point by allowing his kids to “loot” his brother's house—turning a teachable moment into a hilarious and unforgettable lesson about consequences. To close things out, the episode dives into “What Are You Nerding Out About?” Joe offers a balanced and thoughtful take on the newly released Hytale, highlighting both its strengths and noticeable flaws while expressing excitement for its future potential. Charles passionately rants and raves about Tron: Ares, while Todd nerds out over the growing power of AI as a transformative tool—and shares some personal joy by talking about his upcoming nuptials. It's an episode packed with laughs, insight, and heart—bringing together expert parenting wisdom and unapologetic fandom in a way only Wise_N_Nerdy can.

After the traditional roll of the dice, the show dives into “Daddy, Tell Me A Story,” where Charles and Joe share memorable nerdy debates and discussions from their lives. Joe recounts an epic 12-hour debate over theories for the final Harry Potter book before its release, proving just how deep fandom discussions can go. The dice then usher in the “How Do I…?” segment, where the hosts discuss creative and thoughtful ways anime can be used to teach kids important life lessons—blending storytelling, morality, and emotional intelligence in a way only nerdy parents can appreciate. Next up is “What Are You Nerding Out About?” Joe shares his excitement for episode one of Sentenced To Be A Hero, praising its strong storytelling potential, while Charles opens up about setting healthy boundaries with family before enthusiastically geeking out over a new MIDI keyboard. Things take a delightfully painful turn with a round of truly awful Bad Dad Jokes, the kind so groan-inducing that only a mom could love them. The episode wraps with “Parliament of Papas,” where Charles and Joe offer thoughtful advice to listener TheFullRunThrough on turning a lost $50 into a meaningful teaching moment about responsibility and accountability. It's another episode packed with humor, heart, and honest parenting conversations that define the show. ⚡ Wise_N_Nerdy: Where Fatherhood Meets Fandom ➤ WEBSITE: https://wisennerdy.com ➤ LINKTREE: https://linktr.ee/wise_n_nerdy ➤ PATREON: https://www.patreon.com/Wise_N_Nerdy ➤ Tune in live on Thursdays at 8:30 pm eastern Learn more about your ad choices.
