In this lively episode of Wise_N_Nerdy, hosts Charles, Joe, and Kurt gather to answer the big question of the week: "Which celebrity chef would you most like to fix you Thanksgiving dinner?" Charles brings a twist by choosing Kurt himself to cook his meal, while Kurt dreams of a Thanksgiving feast crafted by BBQ legend Erin Franklin. Joe goes all-in with Iron Chef favorites Bobby Flay or Masaharu Morimoto to bring some culinary flair to the holiday.

Afterward, the roll of the dice sets the crew on a nerdy deep-dive. For this week's “What are you Nerding Out About?” segment, the trio can't get enough of Demon Slayer: Hashira Training Arc. Charles is bursting with excitement about hosting his popular game show, Fandom Face-off, at the upcoming CONjuration convention. Joe's been diving into fantasy books, recently finishing Legends & Lattes in preparation for the event and loving every page. He’s also created an extensive AutoHotkey script to max out character stats in Final Fantasy VIII—proof that he's embracing his inner tech nerd. Meanwhile, Kurt has been swept up in 3D printing projects, so much so that the others wonder if he might need a 3D-printing intervention!

The dice then bring up a round of bad dad jokes courtesy of CaseyJay and Devocite, bringing laughter to the group. Following that, the "Daddy, tell me a story" segment gets personal as Joe recounts the uncertainty he faced arriving at college with only $50 to his name. Kurt shares his experience of hitting rock bottom after both he and his wife lost their jobs, and a listener’s comment from RandomKid about job hunting sparks a reflective conversation on the current job market.

Then, the "Parliament of Papas" segment unfolds into an enlightening discussion on libraries, with the hosts lamenting how underutilized these valuable resources have become. To wrap up, the “How do I...?” segment leads to an exchange of tips on the best ways to learn a new language, covering apps, online classes, and local resources.

Packed with fandom and fatherhood insights, this episode of Wise_N_Nerdy is a true testament to how we each can “Find your FAMdom.” Tune in and join the conversation in Wise_N_Nerdy: Where Fatherhood Meets Fandom.
