Carter’s trip to Midway for a Build-A-Bear thing and a full Lord of the Rings marathon, plus attending the Mona Ren Faire. Meme clips are important, Taylor’s “bird rescue while high,” and shared Scott’s shirt stain makes sense. Fears of deep water and not of space, Carter’s swim in the Midway crater, AI is dumb with logos, and some spirited “nepo baby” debates. And a little Nerdtacular tease!

Carter and Scott talked about authenticity in celebrities, comparing Ozzy Osbourne’s genuine nature to Hulk Hogan’s…whole thing. We reflected on how Ozzy’s death hit harder than expected, explored some odd snacks together, and chatted about Lance Henriksen showing up in games lately. We also made plans to watch the new King of the Hill season on Discord, shared our excitement for the revival, and brought up some memories from past Nerdtacular events. And a lot of your texts!

We recap a relaxing day off, a hotpot dinner (including beef tongue and quail eggs), and their movie outing to see Fantastic Four. They review the film, discuss character arcs, and compare it to The Incredibles. There’s talk of Galactus defeats, Carter’s FanX booth plans, childhood nostalgia, HBO Max annoyances, AI coding tools, and why Carter refuses to use them. They wrap up with cute voice messages from grandkids, thoughts on King of the Hill, and anime censorship.

They discuss Hello Kitty Island Adventure, vibe coding, AI tools, and fish tacos. Family tattoos, Deckard’s new cement slab obsession, kids' smartwatch messages, and their distaste for landlocked seafood bias. Plus loads of your feedback!

Putting this on the Monday Show feed mainly because we think it would be a good fit for a lot of you. Ethan is pretty special to Carter and I, and seeing him hit his stride, publish his own book, and reach for the future is a blast to watch. I hope many of you will check his book out, and I hope you hear this interview and gain some confidence in what his generation might accomplish.
