Episode 6.17: TEA Inspire 2026 Review: This week, Greg and Garrick are fresh off TEA Inspire 2026 and ready to break it all down—joined by a couple of quick guest drop-ins along the way.

From the Leadership Forum to Inspire the Night, the guys recap the moments, conversations, and connections that made this year’s conference stand out. They dig into the themes shaping the industry, the people driving it forward, and a few behind-the-scenes takes you won’t get anywhere else.

With the Thea Awards Gala just ahead, Greg and Garrick also talk through their favorite winners, what stood out most, and throw it to you—what was your favorite?

It’s a mix of insight, perspective, and just enough snark to keep it honest.

Pour a rum and join the conversation.

Two rambling idiots—Greg and Garrick—bring you the *Rum & Nerdy Podcast*, a weekly dive into the world of nerd culture through the eyes of late 40s/early 50s dads who still can't get enough of their favorite movies, TV shows, and theme parks. With a deep love of all things nerdy and a shared passion for good rum, these two buddies mix laid-back humor, nostalgic memories, and plenty of laughs as they discuss everything from classic sci-fi to the latest pop culture trends.
