My Dude, My Guy

What happened to being a nerd?

Once upon a time, loving comics, video games, anime, fantasy and superheroes could earn you some serious ridicule. Now, nerd culture is everywhere. Superhero movies dominate the box office, gaming is bigger than ever, anime is mainstream and the things we were once embarrassed to love are suddenly considered cool.

But has something changed along the way?

In Episode 6 of My Dude, My Guy, Brett and Logan take a step back from the games and challenges and simply talk about something they've both grown up with: nerd culture.

We look at where nerd culture came from, how it has changed, what mainstream acceptance has meant for the things we love, whether gatekeeping and fandom have changed, and whether being a "nerd" even means the same thing anymore.

Has nerd culture finally won?

Or did becoming mainstream mean losing some of what made it special?

No games. No challenges. No carefully planned answers.

Just two nerds talking about the culture that helped shape them.

What do you think happened to nerd culture?

If you were stranded on a desert island and could only save one piece of pop culture from each category... what would you choose?

Inspired by the legendary Desert Island Discs, we've put our own nerdy spin on the classic format. In Desert Island Nerd, Brett and Logan go head-to-head as they choose the one game franchise, movie series, superhero, villain, anime, comic, TV series and more that they'd refuse to live without.

The catch?

Once you make your choice... everything else disappears forever.

Expect impossible decisions, passionate debates, questionable logic and a few choices that might leave you shouting at your speakers. Will Resident Evil beat Zelda? Which superhero deserves the final spot? And who would you choose to be stranded with if your entire world of pop culture vanished overnight?

Play along, make your own choices, and let us know what would make it onto your Desert Island.

Welcome back to My Dude, My Guy—where being a nerd has never been more difficult.

Everyone has that one opinion they're almost afraid to say out loud... apparently we have quite a few.

In this episode of My Dude, My Guy, we throw caution to the wind and confess the pop culture opinions that usually earn us a one-way ticket to the comments section. From beloved superhero movies and legendary characters to blockbuster directors, games and franchises, nothing is off limits.

Some of these takes might have you nodding in agreement. Others might have you questioning whether we deserve to call ourselves nerds at all.

Expect plenty of laughs, passionate debates, questionable decisions and at least one opinion that might make you want to switch the podcast off... before hopefully changing your mind a few minutes later.

From heroes and villains to warriors, adventurers and unlikely role models, we all have fictional characters that leave a lasting mark on us.

In this episode of My Dude, My Guy, Brett and Logan dive into the characters who shaped their lives, inspired their passions, and helped make them the people they are today. Whether through comics, games, movies, anime or television, we explore the stories, lessons and moments that stayed with us long after the credits rolled.

Expect nostalgia, surprising choices, questionable role models, and a celebration of the characters that continue to influence us years later. Because sometimes the people who shape us aren't people at all.

What happens when two self-confessed nerds start revealing the geeky classics they've somehow never experienced?

In this episode of My Dude, My Guy, Brett and Logan put their nerd credentials on the line as they play Never Have I Ever: Geek Edition. From games and movies to anime and beyond, some truly devastating truths come to light as we confess the franchises, characters and experiences that have somehow passed us by.

Along the way, we attempt to explain ourselves, defend the indefensible, and uncover a bombshell admission from Logan that may genuinely be unforgivable.

Expect disbelief, judgement, laughter, and enough nerd blasphemy to upset the Geek Gods themselves. Join us for another round of hot takes, nerd nonsense, and shocking confessions.
