In this lively and laughter-filled episode of Wise_N_Nerdy, Charles and Joe kick things off with the Question of the Week: “If you were transported into a D&D campaign as your current self, what class would you actually be?” Joe wastes no time declaring that Charles would absolutely be a bard, armed not with a lute but with a drum — because of course he would. Charles fires back, suggesting Joe would be a bard too… before quickly pivoting and upgrading him to wizard, because someone has to keep the party alive with spell slots fueled by bad dad jokes. With the roll of their signature dice, the randomness begins — and the first stop is a fresh round of Bad Dad Jokes, led by community favorite Devocite, who drops some groan-worthy punchlines that get Charles and Joe rolling (their eyes and their dice). Naturally, the hosts can’t resist adding a couple of terrible dad jokes of their own. Next, fate guides the show into “Daddy, Tell Me A Story”, where Charles and Joe reminisce about convention moments that made them stop and think, “Yep… these are my people.” From chaotic con floors to unexpected geeky bonding moments, the stories highlight exactly what it means to Find your FAMdom within fan culture. Then it’s time for “What Are You Nerding Out About?”, where Charles shares his hilarious RPG experiences from CONjuration, recounting game sessions so wild they nearly had the table crying from laughter. Joe shifts gears into anime mode, gushing about Hero Without a Class: Who Even Needs Skills?!, a series starring a protagonist who ignores societal expectations and instead rises to greatness through pure determination and hustle. The dice tumble again and land on “How Do I…?”, where the hosts address a universal parenting struggle: what to do when your kids are pushing every last one of your buttons. Charles and Joe offer real talk, real strategies, and the reminder that even the best parents have days when they’re this close to losing it. Finally, the show closes with the “Parliament of Papas” segment, where the dads unite to roast the phenomenon of PROMposals — calling them over-the-top, unnecessary, and peak-level cringe. It’s a perfect blend of parenting wisdom, cultural commentary, and comedic snark. Wise_N_Nerdy: Where Fatherhood Meets Fandom
