"Eat a bag of bananas" - Randomkid: A Wise_N_Nerdy Adventure

In this episode of the Wise_N_Nerdy podcast, Charles, Joe, and Kurt dive deep into childhood nostalgia, dad debates, and nerdy fandoms that keep them going. As always, the show kicks off with the question of the week: “What’s your favorite childhood book?” Kurt brings up The Monster at the End of This Book, while Joe reminisces about The Book of Three, and Charles recalls A Wrinkle in Time along with a Star Wars read-along book. It’s a trip down memory lane, full of beloved stories that shaped their youth. Next, it’s time for the traditional roll of the dice, and the fates lead them to the “Council of Dads,” where a spirited debate unfolds about what makes good barbecue. The conversation is as smoky and flavorful as the perfect brisket! Rolling the dice again, they land on “What Are You Nerding Out About?” Charles shares his excitement over Venom: The Last Dance, while Joe talks up the mind-bending action of the movie Infinite. Kurt brings it home with his love for his latest 3D prints, the newest season of Demon Slayer, and his delightful experience using Too Good To Go for great food deals. In the “Daddy Tell Me a Story” segment, the guys share humorous tales from their youth. Charles recalls a series of questionable choices he made as a teenager in the Civil Air Patrol. Joe shares funny encounters with wildlife during scout camp, and Kurt tells the story of meeting his wife at band camp—a true love story born from shared musical passion. Of course, the episode wouldn’t be complete without a series of bad dad jokes, which leave Charles hanging his head in defeat. The dads end with the “How Do I…?” segment, where they share insights on what makes a great leader—a conversation full of wisdom for aspiring leaders out there. Whether you’re here for dad debates, nerdy passions, or wholesome stories, this episode has it all. So, come “Find Your FAMdom” and join us for another entertaining hour.
