Nerd of Mouth
The Nerds got their Revenge, now what? That’s what comedians Holden McNeely, Mike Lawrence, and Jake Young are trying to figure out in the weekly combination tribunal/confessional “Nerd of Mouth.” Recorded from the dankest basement in the “Last Podcast on the Left” studios, we’re getting to the bottom of whether there’s more to life than any% WR videogame speedruns, limited edition action figures, and anime shows about ludicrously strong children beating each other up.

This week while Mike was off in Japan, Jake and Holden welcome Seena Ghaznavi (from LPN’s The Foreign Report) to talk about the waning era of the gadget! From walkmans to calculator watches everything has been swallowed up by the smartphone, and we’re spreading the love for the PDAs, MP3 Players, Flip Phones, and point and shoot cameras that made us the nerds we are today!

We're doing a good ol' fashioned deep dive on the man from the Great White North who made Hollywood his second city and blew up the box office! We go through Rick's early life, his meteoric rise and his powerful decision to walk away from it all, proving he was the goodhearted nerd we always cheered for. If it ever comes out that he's actually a terrible person we will have to immediately take this episode down because we shower h...
Witness as a boy is born and uses fantasy to escape the reality of living in the foul wasteland that is Bayonne New Jersey. Young George RR Martin is the ultimate fanboy, transforms into the ultimate journeyman writer, and then after years of toiling in writers rooms and the clearance section of Waldenbooks creates a beloved book series! And with that series comes a fan base that is first Stark loving glad and eventually becomes S...

We could have done this all day but condensed it to one episode of bickering, quips, and camaraderie. And please stick around for the end credits so we can ask you to join the Patreon Initiative

Greetings from Yancy Street, you podcast enjoying crum bums, we’re celebrating the Worlds Greatest Comics Magazine and a film franchise you clearly have gotten enough of, the Fantastic Four. Why do we love them, what makes them unique, and why is it harder to make a great movie than it is for Pedro Pascal to shave? Get on a rocket with your unqualified friends and strap in, just like a lap dance from the Thing, it’s gonna be a lump...
It’s our 25th episode spectacular but don’t worry, we do the same thing we do every episode, Pinky (narf!). In honor of the new season of King of the Hill which we all enjoyed, we’ve decided to talk about the recent trend of rebooted cartoons. Jake takes us on a tour of the Animaniacs, Tiny Toons, Beavis and Butthead, and because we’re pro pain and suffering, the Powerpuff Girls! Plus we pitch our own cartoon reboots (including one...
We love movies and we love video games but the two often go together like two things that don’t go well together. Holden talks us through the history of greedy publishers cashing in on popular movies by releasing terrible video games. We bring up the good, the bad, and Fight Club. Yes they made a game based on Fight Club and we are breaking the rules by talking about it.

Ms. Rachel started a Youtube Channel called "Songs For Littles" in 2019 with the goal of helping babies and toddlers develop speaking skills and in less than a decade has built a gigantic empire involving Netflix deals, mass marketed merchandise...and controversy. Yes controversy, because hey, the Internet isn't anything if not consistently critical, especially of the people entertaining our kids so we don't have to. We get into al...
There's no "I" in Esports! That's a factual statement. This episode is crammed full of factual statements as Holden takes us on a tour from the very beginning of Esports in 1962 all the way up til now where there are full leagues of people (some legends, some not) playing for millions (both audience and dollars)! We go through it all from Billy Mitchell in his prime to EV0 moment 37 to The Overwatch League. Be dazzled by Holden's ...
Don't worry nerd of mouth breathers, there is lots of joy and very little wrath in this episode, it just fit the pun too well. We're excited to talk comic (and everything else) conventions as Holden gives a brief history on the beginnings of what would eventually become the gigantic gatherings of geeks we see today. Meanwhile Jake reminisces about performing at anime conventions and Mike learns about DashCon and the ballpit of desp...
Look! It's a nerd! It's a podcast! It's a nerdy podcast about the importance of Superman just as a new iteration of the trunks wearing titan appears on the big screen. Why do people say Superman is boring? Why does he constantly get compared to Batman? And really, was that N64 game more fatal to Superman's reputation than a pocketful of Kryptonite? Our hosts both analyze and celebrate the man of steel, talking as passionately and e...
If you watched the janky oddity that is the 2017 Death Note movie or the Scarlet Johansson Ghost in the Shell that also came out in 2017 (what a tough year) this is the episode for you! Anime is massive and yet a successful live action adaptation of one that's as good as the source material seems harder to find than the one piece treasure (With One Piece being the exception that breaks the rule) . Jake explains why this is and we a...

Hi ho nerdy listeners!!! Be our guest as we discuss the whole new world of Disney Live Action remakes over the past decade or so. Some have been great and some have been bippity boppity garbage. Our three hosts who have the wit of Timon and look more like Pumba delve into this cinematic phenomenon. And yes we watched the new Snow White and never once say "go woke go broke" and not just because everyone else has.
Are we born nerds or are we raised to be them? What impact does our environment have on who we are and what we love and just how important are the people around us? Our hosts open up about how they were raised and whether or not they think they were meant to still love Mario and She Hulk in their 40s. This one's got Jake deep diving into genetics, Holden's attempts at getting his dad to play Balatro, and Mike talking about how the ...
Having a bad fur day? Well throw on your leisure suit, escape monkey island and join us as Holden takes us through the history of humor in video games in an episode demanded by all those Toe Jam and Earl and Boogerman fans. What makes humor work in video games and when does it fall flatter than a pickup line in Arkham City? Plus a dissection on why quips are the most overly used form of humor now in both video games and everything ...
Holden talks us through that once beloved tradition that was born of both cinema and corporate synergy: The summer movie song. Whether it was Seal grinding on a Bat Signal, Kenny Loggins singing about jet planes, or a montage of Mr. T set to a pulse pounding track about tiger eyes, the summer movie song was everywhere...until it just wasn't anymore. What exactly happened and more importantly what are our cohosts going to pick as th...

The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
