In this episode of Wise_N_Nerdy, Charles and Joe are joined by the amazing Audie Norman for a fun and insightful ride through fandom, fatherhood, and a few unexpected laughs. The show kicks off with the Question of the Week: If you could learn any one spell or power from a fantasy world, what would it be? From the practical magic of prestidigitation and the versatility of wild shape in Dungeons & Dragons, to the Great Sage ability from That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime, the hosts dream big. Teleportation powers also come up—whether it’s the flashy leaps from Jumper or Apparition from Harry Potter. Before rolling the dice, Charles unveils the show’s new logo, a design created by Audie himself. The random dice roll kicks things off with Bad Dad Jokes, this time themed around polar bears—with Charles giving a shoutout to Nathan Fillion for his own stream of dad jokes online. Next up is the "How Do I…?" segment where Charles, Joe, and Audie talk through the creative process behind designing the new Wise_N_Nerdy logo. From concept to final touches, they share the story of what makes the design special for the show and its community. The dice then land on "What Are You Nerding Out About?", where Joe brings back a fan-favorite guessing game: figuring out the plot of an anime just from its title. This week’s challenge? Apocalypse Bringer Mynoghra: World Conquest Starts with the Civilization of Ruin. Meanwhile, Audie nerds out about Aaron Sorkin, diving into classics like The West Wing and Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip. Charles wraps up the segment with some personal excitement, celebrating his birthday with gifts like an electric drum kit and Borderlands 4. In "Daddy, Tell Me a Story," Audie shares his journey into podcasting—how he started listening, what inspired him, and what eventually pushed him to create his own show. Finally, the dice close out the night with the "Parliament of Papas", where Joe tells a heartfelt and complicated story about his mother’s wedding ring. Passed down through siblings, the ring sparked both love and family division when one sister asked for it back after a difficult engagement fell apart.

This episode of Wise_N_Nerdy is packed with laughs, heartfelt moments, and plenty of nerdy goodness as Charles and Joe roll the dice on another unforgettable show. The episode kicks off with the return of the Manager Update—a fan-favorite segment. Joe reveals that his former nightmare manager has officially been let go, and his ex-coworkers couldn’t be more thrilled. It’s a big sigh of relief and the perfect way to start the night. From there, the hosts dive into the Question of the Week: “What’s the best geeky gift you’ve ever received or given?” Charles shares the story of passing along his old computer to his friend Mike Woodard, while Joe talks about some of the incredible gifts from his brother-in-law, including D&D figures and wireless headphones. Both hosts fondly recall how longtime listener PaulPuck gifted them their Nintendo Switches—proof that the Wise_N_Nerdy community is truly something special. Then the dice set the path, starting with the Parliament of Papas segment. The guys weigh in on a tough Reddit story: a sibling who treasured their late sister’s ring, only to have their brother use it to propose without asking. When the fiancée returned it, the family turned against the OP. Charles and Joe break it down with empathy and wisdom, exploring family dynamics and boundaries. Next, in What Are You Nerding Out About?, Joe gushes about the witty and creative writing style of Assistant to the Villain by Hannah Nicole Maehrer. Charles jumps between several nerdy delights—praising the new Demon Slayer movie, sharing his excitement for Lycoris Recoil, and announcing his brand-new podcast with Josh Cooper (aka JoshTheDad from Uploads of Fun): The Little Brown Pill, a show dedicated to nerding out about coffee. The dice roll again, landing on the How Do I…? segment, where Charles shares his proud DIY experience installing a rear car camera. It’s a great reminder of the satisfaction that comes from tackling challenges head-on instead of always paying someone else to do it. Of course, no episode would be complete without some bad dad jokes—this time featuring Devocite—and even a surprise bad uncle joke from Charles. After the commercial break, the show takes a heartwarming turn as the hosts react to a video from Tyler (aka TheFullRunThrough), who introduces his newborn son born just the day before. Devocite keeps the theme going with a story about finding a baby crow… that turns out to be another sneaky dad joke. Finally, the episode closes with Daddy, Tell Me A Story, where the hosts swap fun tales about beating the summer heat. Joe explains how he crafted makeshift ductwork out of trash bags to funnel cool air from his living room to his bedroom—an ingenious (and hilarious) dad move. From start to finish, this episode reminds us that whether it’s geeky gifts, DIY victories, or dad jokes galore, there’s always a way to Find your FAMdom in the things we share and the stories we tell.

Buckle up for the Road Trip Edition of Wise_N_Nerdy ! Charles just got back from a whirlwind patient transport to DC and Richmond, and he’s joined by Philip D. Keating (a.k.a. The Imaginary Nomad) for a wild ride filled with road trip memories, questionable food choices, and way too many Slurpees vs. cigarettes debates. From Nobel Prizes to GWAR bars, this episode swerves between heartfelt nostalgia and absolute chaos. You’ll hear about Taco Bell gone wrong, concerts that ended in cheesesteak hustles, and five-seat driving rotations that no one should ever attempt (seriously, don’t). It’s part comedy, part confession, and all the reasons why road trips never go quite the way you planned. Whether you love plotting out itineraries or just gunning it until the gas light dings, this one will make you rethink your travel style. Don’t overplan road trips — leave room for randomness and unexpected stops. Always pack extra snacks (jerky, fudge, Slurpees, or broccoli…your choice). Build a road trip playlist that can survive the miles (and friends’ weird tastes). Set expectations with travel buddies — who’s driving, who’s picking food stops, who’s holding the Doritos bag. Remember: the journey is the story — sometimes the detours make the best memories. "Sometimes it’s not the long road trips that have the greatest stories—it’s the chaos along the way." — Philip D. Keating These notes are empowered by AI. ~Chad…

1 Wise_N_Nerdy: Where Fatherhood Meets Fandom — Live w/ Josh Cooper (Uploads of Fun) Dragon Con 2025 59:35
A live, dice-driven episode of Wise_N_Nerdy where fatherhood truly meets fandom. Charles, Joe, and special guest Josh Cooper (Uploads of Fun) kick off with bad dad jokes, rule on a contentious Parliament of Papas case (Disney vs. Comic-Con), and trade stories about rewatching childhood movies as parents—TV edits, innuendo, and all. Audience mic stories bring the heat, from TMNT ’s rooftop to Robocop ’s cartoon tie-ins. The crew closes with practical strategies for overcoming sheltered upbringings: context, conversation, and teaching courage instead of fear. Bad Dad Jokes (rolled a 6) Icebreakers from stage and audience (dragons + fast food; “Poof! You’re a drink.”). Ongoing bit: “There is no such thing as a good dad joke.” Parliament of Papas (rolled a 4) Reddit case: “Am I the buttface for going to Comic-Con after my wife took our kid (and her ex) to Disney without me—using our miles?” Panel reaction: finances + co-parenting ≠ unilateral decisions; ex attending without current spouse is a relational red flag. Consensus: wife = primary buttface; husband needs boundaries; bigger issue is relationship health. Daddy, Tell Me a Story (rolled a 2) — Rewatching childhood movies as parents Examples: Caddyshack , Revenge of the Nerds , Three Fugitives , Firestarter , TMNT (1990 rooftop scene) , Blankman , Transformers: The Movie (’86 toy-reset trauma), Robocop (how was this a cartoon?), The Ringer , Monty Python: Meaning of Life . Themes: TV edits vs. theatrical cuts; using IMDb Parents Guide; explaining dated humor; navigating innuendo in “family” animation; when to pause/skip with kids. How do I overcome my sheltered upbringing? (segued after gift moment) Hosts/guest share growing up Pentecostal/Southern Baptist/Mormon variations: satanic panic era (D&D, Magic cards), filtered DVD players, language rules. Parenting approaches now: teach context and timing for language; “if you don’t know what it means, don’t say it”; consent to discuss anything; “If it’s on TV, it’s not real.” Tools for fear/nightmares: teach lucid-dream control (look at your hand; give yourself a bazooka), anchor objects (a huggable TARDIS), model calm vs. catastrophizing. Live mic stories: rewatch shocks ( Harry Potter attitudes, Severance tension without nudity, Blue Eye Samurai content surprise, 2001: A Space Odyssey at age six, Jaws jump scare), “that channel” confessions, schoolyard language, and representing disability positively in The Ringer . Parenting wisdom from audience: treat kids as autonomous humans; teach agency, not fear. Family-friendly doesn’t mean sterile—context, conversation, and consent beat blanket bans. Rewatches are opportunities: talk era, edits, and what’s changed culturally. Co-parenting logistics require transparency, not unilateral “surprises.” Teach courage over fear; give kids cognitive tools to manage scary media and language. “Everything I do is family-friendly—as long as you’re my family.” —Charles “Teach time and place. Context turns ‘forbidden’ into teachable.” —Josh “The second you posted to Reddit, you knew the answer—this is a relationship problem.” —Panel “If it’s on TV, it’s not real. And we can talk about anything.” —Charles…

Tonight, Joe’s out—so the cryptid chaos begins. Charles takes the captain’s chair with Phil Keating and Bob McGough, and the result is equal parts comedy, fandom, and questionable uncle energy. From debating which fictional character you’d trust to babysit your kids (Mary Poppins? Kratos? Lisa Simpson? Definitely not Jared from Subway) to wandering into stories about abandoned luggage, Pokémon nannies, and cosplay so niche only three people will ever get it, this episode doesn’t walk the line—it stumbles over it with a beer in hand. Bob dives deep into his love for cryptids (Mothman supremacy forever), Phil nerds out on Nintendo and Final Fantasy while accidentally admitting anime is growing on him, and Charles celebrates a proud dad moment with a side of Demon Slayer hype. Along the way, the trio tackles failure, imposter syndrome, and the power of showing up—even if only three people do. Of course, no “drunk uncle” night would be complete without dad jokes, hot dog confessions, and wild Dragon Con plans. This isn’t your average nerd talk—it’s family, fandom, and foolishness rolled into one chaotic ride. Highlights you’ll hear: The great “fictional babysitter” debate (spoiler: Bulbasaur has vines for a reason) Cryptid confessions and why Mothman wins every time Trying new things, failing gloriously, and finding joy anyway Nintendo loyalty vs. PlayStation bullying Hot dogs, Gizzy Stations, and other unholy obsessions Grab a drink, roll some dice, and join the madness—because tonight, the dads are nerdy, the uncles are drunk, and nothing is sacred.…

They're the kind of groaners that relax the soul and make you laugh in spite of yourself. Next, it’s time for the “How Do I...?” segment, where Charles and Joe give practical, thoughtful advice on becoming a more confident public speaker. Whether you're prepping for a panel, a PTA meeting, or just trying not to stutter at your kid’s school event, this advice is gold. The dice then call forth the “Parliament of Papas”, where the guys discuss a real-world parenting dilemma: a mom constantly correcting people on her daughter’s name. Is it about identity, respect, or social overreach? The discussion is thoughtful, funny, and eye-opening. Next, we dive into “Daddy, Tell Me A Story”, where Charles shares a very real parenting moment — losing his temper during a video game session and having his son repeat some choice words back to him. This sparks a deep and honest talk about how closely our kids watch us, and how important it is to model the behavior we want to see. Finally, the episode wraps with “What are you Nerding out about?”. Joe raves about a new anime, The Water Magician, praising its stunning visuals and emotionally rich storytelling. Charles shares a few things he's been enjoying lately — including his cohost Kurt’s ventures into voice acting and the addictive indie game Balatro. From parenting confessions to pop culture obsessions, this episode is a perfect reminder to laugh, grow, and Find your FAMdom. Wise_N_Nerdy: Where Fatherhood Meets Fandom…
