Episode 5.30: 1971 Chevy Malibu Convertible

Episode 5.30 - 1971 Chevy Malibu Convertible: Live(ish) from Las Vegas, Greg and Garrick roll into town and fire up *The Podcast Mini* — their shiny new portable recording setup — to capture the chaos with none other than Demo Dave Shannon. Fresh off a whirlwind TEA event, the guys dish on the highlights, the handshakes, and the hilariously awkward run-ins that probably deserve their own nondisclosure agreements.

With glasses full of Plantery Cut and Dry rum (which, despite the name, is very much not dry), the conversation swerves between themed entertainment gossip, questionable buffet choices, and the surprising number of TEA members who still can’t figure out which mic is hot.

Oh, and that 1971 Chevy Malibu Convertible? It’s a vibe. Maybe. Or just a metaphor. Or possibly a fever dream brought on by too much rum and neon.

Either way — it's classic Rum and Nerdy: on the road, off the rails, and absolutely worth the ride.

Two rambling idiots—Greg and Garrick—bring you the *Rum & Nerdy Podcast*, a weekly dive into the world of nerd culture through the eyes of late 40s/early 50s dads who still can't get enough of their favorite movies, TV shows, and theme parks. With a deep love of all things nerdy and a shared passion for good rum, these two buddies mix laid-back humor, nostalgic memories, and plenty of laughs as they discuss everything from classic sci-fi to the latest pop culture trends.
