In this exciting episode of the Wise_N_Nerdy podcast, Charles, Joe, and Kurt are joined by the ever-creative JHammondC from Beyond the Playlist and Soundography. The episode kicks off with the hosts tackling the question of the week: “What has been the most influential movie of your life?” This sparks a heartfelt discussion about the films that have shaped their perspectives. Cousin Mike calls in to share his love for Treasure Planet, explaining how it inspired him to pursue his dreams. Joe reflects on how Tron ignited his passion for computers, while JHammondC credits The Amazing Mr. Blunden for changing how he views the world.

Next, the dice roll lands on the “Council of Dads” segment, sparking a lively debate about what kind of punishments schools should be allowed to enforce. The conversation is both insightful and passionate, with each host bringing their perspective to the table.

The laughter ramps up with a round of bad dad jokes, starting with a clip of Joe telling Jebediah a classic groaner, followed by more jokes from Devocite that leave everyone chuckling.

The fates then lead to the “How do I...?” segment, where the group shares hilarious stories about the various ways they mess with their friends and family—sarcasm being the go-to method.

In the “What are you Nerding out about?” segment, Joe dives into Oshi No Ko season 2, though the rest of the crew isn't sold on it. Charles geeks out over the newest Zelda game, Echoes of Wisdom, while Kurt showcases his obsession with 3D printing lithophanes, even sharing some of his favorite pieces. JHammondC wraps it up by sharing his New Year's resolution tradition, which this year involves honing his drawing skills by creating a new piece of art daily.

The show also features a Spotify comment from Broesches and another sneaky bad dad joke from Devocite, keeping the laughter going.
