Man Caves & Moral Lessons: Raising Better Humans

In this jam-packed episode of Wise_N_Nerdy, join Charles and Joe for another unforgettable adventure where fatherhood meets fandom.

The episode kicks off with the Question of the Week: “What is your favorite snack cake?” The hosts dive deep into nostalgic snacking, with Little Debbie classics like Swiss Rolls and Oatmeal Creme Pies stealing the spotlight and stirring up sweet memories from childhood.

With the roll of the dice, the show jumps into a galaxy far, far away for a round of Star Wars-themed Bad Dad Jokes that will have you groaning harder than a Wookiee with a stubbed toe.

Next up is the “What Are You Nerding Out About?” segment where Charles shares his excitement over rearranging his man cave for peak nerd-vibes. Joe gushes about playing Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man with his sons, praising its gameplay and bonding potential. And the whole crew is buzzing with pride over the latest draft of the show's upcoming logo redesign—big changes are coming!

The dice land on “Parliament of Papas,” sparking a thoughtful discussion on the use of ad blockers. The hosts explore the ethics, impact on creators, and how to balance user experience with digital responsibility.

Then it’s time for “How Do I…?”, where the trio tackles the increasingly common issue of scam calls. They share practical tips and real-life examples to help you and your family stay safe from shady phone schemes.

The episode ends on a powerful and emotional note with “Daddy, Tell Me a Story.” Joe recounts a traumatic moment —when his sister was hit in a GTA-inspired joyride by reckless teens. This sparks an honest and meaningful conversation about how to raise kids to be compassionate, responsible human beings in a world full of questionable influences.

So grab your favorite snack cake, roll the dice, and Find your FAMdom in this heartfelt, hilarious, and thought-provoking episode.
