Episode 5.16 - 1973 through 77 Monte Carlo: This week, the crew raises a glass for Mother’s Day—an especially meaningful one for Greg, marking what would’ve been his mom’s 81st birthday and 10 years since her ride to the other side. With a mix of sentiment and snark, they sip red wine and Bumbu Rum while unpacking Garrick’s Chicago trip, Apple TV’s The Pitt, and Dexter: Original Sin. Of course, there’s also a dash of Andor Season 2 chatter, because... priorities. From heartfelt to nerd-fueled, it’s a ride worthy of a vintage Monte Carlo.

Two rambling idiots—Greg and Garrick—bring you the *Rum & Nerdy Podcast*, a weekly dive into the world of nerd culture through the eyes of late 40s/early 50s dads who still can't get enough of their favorite movies, TV shows, and theme parks. With a deep love of all things nerdy and a shared passion for good rum, these two buddies mix laid-back humor, nostalgic memories, and plenty of laughs as they discuss everything from classic sci-fi to the latest pop culture trends.

Episode 5.15 - Speeder Bike: This week, Greg and Garrick hit the gas with a deep dive into Andor Season 2, covering episodes 1 through 3 (with just a hint of 4 for good measure). Along the way, they take a nostalgic detour through Cannonball Run, crack open the final bottle from their delightful Rum Crate, and close out with a discussion on the highs and lows of AI-generated graphics. Buckle up — it’s a fast one.

Episode 5.14 - Bessie (1954 Ford Popular 103E, fitted with a fiberglass tourer body): This week, the gang rolls into geekdom behind the wheel of Bessie—the iconic 1954 Ford Popular 103E with a fiberglass tourer body, best known as the beloved ride of the Third Doctor from 1970s Doctor Who. Naturally, this sparks a deep dive into the future of Doctor Who, including the show's departure from Disney+ and speculation on the next Doctor.

Meanwhile, Greg's battling bad coffee karma (unless he breaks out the good Cuban stuff), Brian's in the studio for a Game Center Power-Up, and there's a May the 4th LEGO event on the horizon. The crew also tackles the age-old question: how long should you wait before dropping spoilers?

Nerd out, caffeinate, and mind the spoiler gap.
