Rainy Days, Nerdy Ways & Parenting Praise

Wise_N_Nerdy: Where Fatherhood Meets Fandom

In this heartfelt and hilariously unpredictable episode of Wise_N_Nerdy, Charles, Joe, and Kurt kick things off by answering the Question of the Week: “What do you like to do on a rainy day?” From splashing in puddles to cozying up with a good book or a binge-worthy series, the hosts share their favorite rainy-day rituals that are perfect for family bonding or solo recharging.

The dice take their usual spin and land us on the “What Are You Nerding Out About?” segment. Joe beams with love as he shares how much he appreciates his wife and their shared joy in watching the sweet and sporty anime Blue Box. Kurt dives into the exciting new release Blue Prince, while Charles gets hyped about The Pitt and offers a glowing tribute to Audie Norman, the talent behind the podcast’s upcoming logo redesign.

Next, the show shifts into the “Parliament of Papas,” where the trio dives into a timely and honest discussion about expectations placed on dads and kids during Mother’s Day. It’s a thoughtful conversation about presence, planning, and appreciating the moms who do so much.

The dice roll again and bring us to the “How Do I…?” segment. This time, it’s all about reinforcing positive behavior in children—with a strong emphasis on praising effort over outcomes. It’s a meaningful discussion packed with real-world parenting advice you can apply today.

Then the crew sails into some pun-packed territory with a couple of pirate-themed bad dad jokes straight from TheFullRunThrough. Prepare to groan and giggle.

Finally, it’s time for the “Daddy, Tell Me A Story” segment—only this time, Charles makes a surprising call… and just ends the show, leaving listeners laughing and wanting more.
