Wise_N_Nerdy: Where Fatherhood Meets Fandom

Vintage Tech Mods, Job Hunt Advice, & The Great Leftovers Debate With TVsTravis


Listen Later

In this festive and laughter-packed episode of Wise_N_Nerdy, Joe is joined by the incredible TVsTravis, bringing his signature charm, insight, and perfectly timed dad-level humor. The duo kicks things off with the Question of the Week: “What holiday treats hit differently now that you’ve grown up?” From the questionable legacy of fruitcake to the nostalgia of store-bought cookies and the surprising sophistication of eggnog, Joe and TVsTravis dive into which seasonal snacks have aged like fine wine — and which have not.

With the ceremonial roll of the dice, the first segment lands squarely on Bad Dad Jokes, and TVsTravis comes armed and ready. He unleashes a barrage of perfectly crafted groan-inducing zingers, setting the bar high before Joe adds a couple of his own questionable masterpieces. It’s a pun-slathered opening that sets the tone for an episode filled with levity and warmth.

The dice then point the way to “What Are You Nerding Out About?”, where TVsTravis talks about one of his passions: modding old hardware. From transforming a vintage tube radio into a digital speaker to turning an antique telephone into a fully functional microphone, his creativity sparks inspiration for makers and nostalgia lovers alike. Meanwhile, Joe can’t contain his enthusiasm for My Hero Academia FINAL SEASON, raving about its emotionally charged first episodes, jaw-dropping animation, and powerful storytelling.

Next, the fates guide them into the “Parliament of Papas” segment, where a surprisingly heated (yet hilarious) debate breaks out over leftover etiquette. How long must leftovers sit in the fridge before they’re no longer “claimed”? One day? Three? A week? Joe and TVsTravis dig into the ethics, the chaos, and the unspoken rules of household fridge diplomacy.

After that, it’s time for “Daddy, Tell Me A Story,” where workplace war stories take center stage. From botched software rollouts to technical mishaps that triggered frantic recovery efforts, both hosts share tales that every tech-savvy parent — or anyone with a job — can relate to.

The episode wraps up with a thoughtful “How Do I…?” segment, where Joe and TVsTravis offer genuine, practical advice for navigating today’s challenging job market. From resume prep to interview mindset to staying resilient in uncertain times, the discussion is honest, encouraging, and grounded in real-world experience — the perfect blend of fatherly wisdom and nerd-approved insight.

Whether you’re here for the dad jokes, the tech talk, the anime hype, or the life advice, this episode offers the perfect place to Find your FAMdom.
