Listen Later

Get ready for another hilarious and heartfelt episode of Wise_N_Nerdy with your favorite geeky dads, Charles and Joe! This week kicks off with the Question of the Week: “If you could bring one piece of sci-fi technology into the real world, what would you choose?” The dads dive into an epic discussion covering fan-favorite tech from Star Trek’s replicator and holodeck to Portal’s gravity-defying guns and even Voltron’s giant mech. Whether you're a sci-fi fanatic or just love cool gadgets, this segment is sure to spark your imagination.

The roll of the dice lands next on a batch of Phil Keating-themed bad dad jokes courtesy of listener Devocite—with an unexpected groaner straight from Charles himself! Prepare to cringe and laugh in equal measure.

Next, it’s time for a truly meaningful “How Do I...?” segment, where Charles and Joe get real about being the kind of parent who can admit when they’re wrong. They explore how saying “I’m sorry” to your kids not only teaches humility but builds trust in powerful ways.

In “What Are You Nerding Out About?,” Charles shares about quality family time and gives a huge shoutout to Devocite for his stellar volunteer work at Dragon Con. Meanwhile, Joe gushes over The Apothecary Diaries Season 2, while also throwing shade at Blue Lock Season 2 for some less-than-stellar animation choices.

Then it’s time for the “Parliament of Papas” segment, where the hosts unpack a tough Reddit story about in-laws ignoring safety rules around young kids. The dads don’t hold back: when it comes to your children, safety trumps convenience—always.

Finally, in “Daddy, Tell Me A Story,” Joe recounts a memory from his Burger King days. Forced into a double shift, he discovers that his sister arranged for her husband to get off work... just so they could have a date night. Talk about betrayal!

From geeky tech to heartfelt parenting truths, this episode has it all. So grab your favorite drink, settle in, and as always—Find your FAMdom.
