Wise_N_Nerdy: The Drunk Uncle Monster Takeover

Tonight, Joe’s out—so the cryptid chaos begins. Charles takes the captain’s chair with Phil Keating and Bob McGough, and the result is equal parts comedy, fandom, and questionable uncle energy. From debating which fictional character you’d trust to babysit your kids (Mary Poppins? Kratos? Lisa Simpson? Definitely not Jared from Subway) to wandering into stories about abandoned luggage, Pokémon nannies, and cosplay so niche only three people will ever get it, this episode doesn’t walk the line—it stumbles over it with a beer in hand. Bob dives deep into his love for cryptids (Mothman supremacy forever), Phil nerds out on Nintendo and Final Fantasy while accidentally admitting anime is growing on him, and Charles celebrates a proud dad moment with a side of Demon Slayer hype. Along the way, the trio tackles failure, imposter syndrome, and the power of showing up—even if only three people do. Of course, no “drunk uncle” night would be complete without dad jokes, hot dog confessions, and wild Dragon Con plans. This isn’t your average nerd talk—it’s family, fandom, and foolishness rolled into one chaotic ride. Highlights you’ll hear: The great “fictional babysitter” debate (spoiler: Bulbasaur has vines for a reason) Cryptid confessions and why Mothman wins every time Trying new things, failing gloriously, and finding joy anyway Nintendo loyalty vs. PlayStation bullying Hot dogs, Gizzy Stations, and other unholy obsessions Grab a drink, roll some dice, and join the madness—because tonight, the dads are nerdy, the uncles are drunk, and nothing is sacred.
