  • S2 Ep29: Shootin' the Sh!t...Again

    This week, we’re not sticking to a theme — we’re just shootin’ the sh!t and seeing where the conversation takes us. And spoiler: it goes everywhere.

    From Wishbone — the only dog who could out-act half of Hollywood — to Japanese movies that make you question your life choices, to F1 racing, where million-dollar cars crash faster than our attention spans… we’re covering it all.

    Fueling this chaos is a pour of Bruichladdich 7-Year Laddie Rye, smooth enough to make our tangents sound intentional, and the Cati PR49 Cigar, burning slow while we burn through topics like we’re on a caffeinated lap of Monaco.

    So grab your drink, light up, and settle in — because this episode is proof that sometimes the best conversations are the ones that absolutely refuse to stay in their lane.

  • S2 Ep28: Rye Hard! The History of Rye Whiskey

    his week, we’re going old school — like, George Washington’s distillery old — as we dive into the wild and spicy history of rye whiskey. From its colonial roots to its modern revival, we’re tracing how America’s original spirit went from forgotten bottle to back-bar royalty.

    We’re tasting our way through a few different ryes — purely for research purposes, of course — and pairing it with the My Father Blue cigar, a rich, complex smoke that holds up to rye’s signature kick better than a bartender during Prohibition.

    So pour yourself a glass (or three), light one up, and join us as we talk rebels, rickhouses, and the rye renaissance that proves sometimes the old ways really do taste better.

  • S2 Ep 27: Peacemaker Season 2 Recap

    This week, we’re strapping on the chrome helmet, cranking up some glam rock, and diving headfirst into Season 2 of Peacemaker — the most patriotic fever dream ever put on TV. Will James Gunn keep the chaos rolling, or has the eagle finally landed? Either way, you can bet we’ll be talking explosions, daddy issues, and dance numbers no one asked for but everyone secretly loves.

    We’re fueling the fun with a pour of Rabbit Hole Cave Hill, smooth enough to make Vigilante seem stable, and pairing it with the Diesel Whiskey Row cigar, a smoke with more kick than Peacemaker’s emotional baggage.

  • S2 Ep26: Dungeon Crawler Carl

    This week, we’re diving headfirst into the dungeon—no dice rolls required—because we’re talking about the insane, hilarious, and surprisingly heartfelt book series Dungeon Crawler Carl. It’s got everything: killer floors, murderous vending machines, and a cat in a tracksuit with more charisma than most podcast hosts.

    To keep us company in the chaos, we’re lighting up the E.H. Taylor San Andrés cigar, rich and complex enough to survive a few boss fights, and pairing it with E.H. Taylor Small Batch Bourbon, because if Carl can face endless waves of death traps, the least we can do is face a pour of something legendary.

    So grab your drink, spark your stogie, and join us as we talk survival, sarcasm, and the most gloriously unhinged series to ever crawl out of the apocalypse.

    1 hr 43 min
  • S2 Ep25: Jaws!

    Just when you thought it was safe to light up another cigar… this week we’re celebrating the 50th anniversary of Jaws—the movie that made us all afraid to go back in the water, and proved that sometimes the real monster is the mayor who insists the beach stay open.

    We’re chomping down on the Atabey Black Ritos, a smoke bold enough to stand up to a great white, and pairing it with Angel’s Envy Rye, sweet and spicy like John Williams’ score sneaking up behind you.

    So grab a dram, spark your stogie, and join us as we talk sharks, Spielberg, and the cinematic bite that still holds up half a century later. Trust us—you’re gonna need a bigger ashtray.

  • S2 Ep24: The Fantastic Four

    This week, we’re diving headfirst into the cosmic storm, because Marvel’s Fantastic Four are finally making their way back to the big screen. Will James Gunn’s DC Superman have competition, or will Marvel’s First Family finally get the respect they deserve—or will this reboot go down faster than the Roger Corman 1994 bootleg?

    We’ve seen it all: the campy 2005 version where Reed Richards was stretchier than the plot, the Silver Surfer sequel that left us surfing for the exit, and of course, the unforgettable—well, actually, very forgettable—2015 “Fant4stic” disaster that made Doom look like a cosplayer at Spirit Halloween.

    To help us through this trip down cinematic memory lane, we’re lighting up the Hooten Young Ma Deuce cigar—a stick with more firepower than Johnny Storm on a Red Bull—and pairing it with Addictivo Añejo Tequila, smooth enough to make you forget that Jessica Alba was once invisible… but still somehow not invisible enough.

    So grab your drink, spark your stogie, and join us as we ask the burning question: Will Marvel finally make it clobberin’ time… or is this just another stretch too far?

  • S2 Ep23: Superman!

    Up, up, and away—straight into another episode where the only thing stronger than Superman's jawline is our collective nerd rage. This week, we're suiting up and geeking out over James Gunn’s new Superman—will he bring truth, justice, and a fresh start to the DCU, or are we in for another heroic swing and Krypton-sized miss?

    And speaking of misses... we tried a Hawaiian cigar and bourbon combo that tanked harder than Batman v Superman’s third act. Seriously, they were so bad, we almost sent them to the Phantom Zone. But don’t worry—we course-corrected faster than Barry Allen on a caffeine bender and found a pairing worthy of this episode’s super topic.

    So light one up, pour a backup dram, and join us for a high-flying, low-filtered chat full of capes, complaints, and the kind of commentary that leaps tall expectations in a single bound.

  • S2 Ep22: Prime Time Blues

    Welcome back to the show where the cigars are lit, the drinks are neat, and our TV opinions are anything but syndicated. This week, we’re flipping through the channels of memory—and judgment—as we talk about the shows we loved from the ’70s, ’80s, ’90s, and beyond… and the ones still clinging to airtime like a bad spin-off nobody asked for.We’re pouring a glass of Dalmore 12 Scotch—smooth, complex, and aged better than most shows from the ‘80s—and pairing it with the DC 919 cigar, because if we’re gonna roast some shows, we might as well have a good burn going.From Saturday morning classics that deserved a reboot to modern shows that should’ve been canceled after the pilot, we’re tuning in, turning up, and throwing some serious shade like we’re guest judges on a reality show.So grab your remote, light that stogie, and join us as we rewind, fast-forward, and maybe even rage-quit a few memories. This episode is appointment listening—unlike some of the shows we’re about to drag through the static.Like, subscribe and follow us on all the things! ✅ https://instagram.com/nerdherfers✅ https://facebook.com/nerdherfers✅ https://tiktok.com/@nerdherfers✅ https://x.com/nerdherfers

  • S2 Ep21: What's in Store for the DCU?

    Welcome back to the show where the smoke is thick, the drinks are strong, and the opinions come faster than Barry Allen on espresso. This week, we’re looking to the skies—because the future of the DC Universe is riding on one dude in red and blue tights, and his name is Superman. Directed by none other than James Gunn, the guy who turned a talking tree and a raccoon into box office gold, we’re asking: Is this the hero DC deserves… or just another Justice League-level letdown?

    We’re lighting up the new Al Pastor cigar by Rojas—it’s got the kind of flavor that punches harder than Lobo in a bar fight—and we’re sipping Manik Añejo tequila, smoother than Clark Kent sneaking out of the Daily Planet for a quick save.

    Will Gunn give us a Superman with the heart of Christopher Reeve, the swagger of Kingdom Come, or—Kryptonian gods help us—the mustache CG of doom? Will we finally get a Lex Luthor who’s more Machiavellian mastermind and less social media start-up fail? And what about the rest of the DCU—will we see Booster Gold, The Authority, or are we just being emotionally manipulated by another cinematic multiverse promise?

    Either way, we’ve got cigars, tequila, and decades of comic book baggage to unpack—so suit up, nerds. This is gonna be one hell of a flight.

  • S2 Ep20: Thunderbolts

    Strike up a flame and pour a dram — this week’s episode is positively electric! We’re lighting up the Caja Real cigar, pouring a glass of Iron Wolf Bourbon, and breaking down Marvel’s latest anti-hero team-up in the new Thunderbolts movie. Does this ragtag crew bring the thunder or just a light drizzle of disappointment? Tune in as we nerd out over plot twists, cigar notes, and bourbon heat. Whether you're here for the smoky flavors or the smokier opinions, this episode "bolts" right out of the gate...see what we did there?
