Sped-up voices. Wacky instruments. Songs about cavemen, bathtubs, bikinis and mothers-in-law. From the very birth of rock-and-roll, novelty songs were essential elements of the hit parade. Right through the '70s—the age of streaking, CB radios, disco and King Tut—novelty songs could be chart-topping hits. But by the corporate '80s, it was harder for goofballs to score round-the-clock hits on regimented radio playlists. Until one perm-headed, mustachioed, accordion-playing parodist who called himself “Weird” rebooted novelty hits for the new millennium. A video jokester before YouTube, he just might have ushered in the age of the meme. So join Hit Parade this month as we walk through the history of novelty hits on the charts—most especially if M.C. Escher is your favorite M.C. Podcast production by Justin D. Wright and Kevin Bendis Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Read transcriptWelcome back, web-slingers and button-mashers, to another delightfully unhinged episode of Play Comics! This week we're crawling back to 2002, when flip phones were cutting-edge technology, everyone was still trying to figure out what the heck a “blog” was, and Activision decided the best way to capitalize on Sam Raimi's Spider-Man movie was to let Treyarch loose with a development kit and what we can only assume were several energy drinks and a prayer. We're diving deep into the pixelated web-slinging wonderland that somehow convinced an entire generation that swinging through New York City while your webs mysteriously attach to invisible sky anchors was totally normal. This PS2, Xbox, GameCube, and Game Boy Advance spectacular managed to squeeze Tobey Maguire's voice into a polygonal suit while adding enough extra villains to make you wonder if someone at Treyarch had been hoarding Spider-Man action figures since childhood and finally found an excuse to use them all. Joining us for this nostalgic journey through early 2000s gaming jank is the magnificent Chris Ferrell from All Things Good and Nerdy and The Official GonnaGeek Show! Chris brings his encyclopedic knowledge of all things delightfully nerdy to help us navigate the treacherous terrain between movie adaptation and comic book faithfulness. He's the perfect guide for exploring whether this game captured the essence of everyone's favorite wall-crawler or just gave us a really expensive tech demo for air-based web physics that would make actual physics professors weep quietly into their coffee. So dust off those sixth-generation consoles, prepare for some seriously chunky character models, and join us as we swing into action with a game that dared to ask the important question: “What if we took a two-hour movie and stretched it into twelve hours of gameplay by adding every Spider-villain we could think of?” The answer, as you'll discover, involves more air combat than anyone expected and enough stealth sequences to make you appreciate that this was made before every game decided it needed a mandatory stealth section. Get ready for web-slinging, wall-crawling, and more mid-air punching than should be physically possible – it's time to find out if this early millennium marvel holds up or if it belongs in the same category as those websites that still think animated GIFs are the height of digital sophistication. Learn such things as: How do you decide who to use as a boss in a movie tie in game? Will we ever have a bad Spider-Man game ever again? What if…..Chris had latched onto The Flash instead of Spidey? And so much more! You can find Chris on BlueSky @chrisferrell.bsky.social and of course his podcasts All Things Good and Nerdy and The Official GonnaGeek Show.

Ped, Burk and special guest Havard Derek! The boys open the show discussing class reunions and aging. Has the world changed more from 1977-1997 or 2005-2025? Adam introduces a new segment called "Number Ones". The boys talk seafood. Adam is annoyed by MomTok. Our own near death farm stories and how lucky we were. In the meat, Mm!, the guys get NERDY, and rank quite possibly their favorite hobby, board games. Hut Hut! Love y'all.
A GoFundMe has been setup to help Kurt's widow; any help is appreciated - https://gofund.me/d820e0fcIn this lively and heartfelt episode of Wise_N_Nerdy, Joe is joined by the talented author Clint Hall for a deep dive into the magic that happens when fatherhood meets fandom. It all kicks off with the Question of the Week: “What is your favorite movie quote?” Clint shares his love for Predator with its iconic lines, while Joe's kids chime in with hilarious quotes from the upcoming Minecraft movie. Joe's wife brings a classic touch with a quote from The Count of Monte Cristo, and Joe himself channels the wisdom of Dumbledore.With a roll of the dice, the episode moves to the “Daddy, Tell Me A Story” segment, where Joe and Clint discuss how nerdy dads can become everyday heroes to their families — not through superpowers, but through the lessons they teach and the examples they set. This touching conversation is a perfect reminder to Find your FAMdom.Next, fate guides us to the “Parliament of Papas” where the hosts tackle a thoughtful topic: Should AI play a role in the creative process? Joe and Clint explore the balance between authentic storytelling and the growing influence of artificial intelligence.In the “How Do I…?” segment, the conversation turns to storytelling itself: How do you tell stories that truly matter? Clint and Joe compare writing purely for the joy of great storytelling with writing focused on getting published, offering practical insights and inspiration for fellow creators.A bit of fun follows with some delightfully bad dad jokes submitted by TheFullRunThrough from Discord, guaranteed to make you laugh — or groan.Finally, the episode wraps up with the fan-favorite “What are you Nerding out about?” segment. Clint shares his excitement over the smart storytelling in the Dungeons & Dragons movie and talks passionately about his love for Fahrenheit-182: A Memoir. Joe highlights standout anime from the Spring 2025 season, including My Hero Academia: Vigilantes, The Brilliant Healer's New Life in the Shadows, and The Beginning After the End.Whether you're a dad, a fan, a writer, or all three, this episode blends humor, insight, and fandom into something truly special.Wise_N_Nerdy: Where Fatherhood Meets Fandom

Sorry, this is out so late, but Chris and Neil be talking 2 newish movies in this one. First up, they talk a Blumhouse thriller movie that flew a little under the radar- Drop starring Meghann Fahy and Brandon Sklenar. Then, after a jam packed news segment, the guys talk the third entry in the 28 days later franchise- 28 Years Later starring Jodie Comer, Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Alfie Wiliams and Ralph Fiennes. Fittingly, it was directed by Danny Boyle and written Alex Garland. Is the Drop dropped? Are the zombies zombies? Listen and we'll tell you.
