Rum & Nerdy

Rum & Nerdy Two rambling idiots stumble through Rum, Movies, Television Shows, Theme Parks, and all things Nerdy.

With backgrounds in entertainment and theme park design you never know where each show will take you... but there will be booze.

Episode 6.31: Conspiracy Update
This week, Greg and Garrick put on their tinfoil hats and head down a few rabbit holes with a Conspiracy Update.
The guys dig into some favorite conspiracy theories, questionable evidence, things that make you go “hmmm,” and even make the potentially terrible decision to let ChatGPT contribute a conspiracy theory of its own. What could possibly go wrong?
We also take a break from connecting imaginary dots to celebrate Dave’s birthday, because apparently birthdays are becoming a recurring segment around here.
And, as always, we check in on What Ya Streaming? to talk about what we’re currently binging, what’s worth watching, and what has been consuming way too many hours of our lives.
Conspiracies, birthdays, binge watching, and the usual collection of completely unrelated tangents.
Pour a rum, question everything, and remember: just because you’re paranoid doesn’t mean they aren’t watching.

Episode 6.30: The Odyssey
This week, the guys dive headfirst into one of the most anticipated movies in years: The Odyssey. Greg and Garrick share their thoughts on the film, the performances, the spectacle, and whether this epic retelling lives up to the legend.
Joining the conversation is special guest (and longtime friend) Andy, who helps keep the discussion just barely on course as the guys enjoy a pour of Bumbu Rum.
Naturally, the conversation doesn't stay on one topic for long. The guys somehow end up debating which entertainment franchises have the most hours of content, revisit the age-old question of who the real villain was in ThunderCats, and speculate on the upcoming Masters of the Universe movie and whether He-Man is finally getting the big-screen treatment fans have been waiting for.
Along the way, Greg also shares the KoHana rum and honey he brought back from Hawaii, giving Andy a taste of one of the highlights from last week's island adventure.
Ancient Greece, talking cats, Eternia, and great rum... just another perfectly normal episode of Rum and Nerdy.

Episode 6.29: KoHana
This week, Greg is back from Hawaii after celebrating his 10th anniversary, attending his sister’s wedding, and doing all the usual tropical vacation things. But let’s be honest, the real reason we’re here is rum.
Greg tells Garrick all about his visit to the KoHana Hawaiian Agricole Rum Company in Kunia on the island of Oahu, where he learned how Hawaiian sugar cane is grown, harvested, and transformed into a truly unique agricole-style rum.
He also came home with plenty of knowledge, three bottles of KoHana rum, and one bottle of KoHana honey, because apparently luggage weight limits are merely suggestions.
A special shoutout goes to KoHana’s amazing representative, Dustin, a fellow podcaster who had somehow already heard of our little show all the way out in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. Greg shares what made the distillery visit so memorable, what he learned about Hawaiian rum, and why KoHana may have earned a permanent place on the Rum and Nerdy shelf.
There are also anniversary stories, wedding adventures, Hawaii travel talk, and the usual collection of tangents that have very little to do with the episode title.

Rum and Nerdy Episode 6.28: European Excursion
This week it's all about planes, parks, pubs, and a whole lot of passport stamps.
Greg is fresh back from Europe and gives Garrick the full rundown on an incredible week that started in Gothenburg, Sweden, at Liseberg, where he attended and spoke at the TEA SATE Europe & Middle East Conference. From exploring one of Europe's premier amusement parks to reconnecting with friends from around the world, it's a week packed with stories from one of the industry's best gatherings.
But the adventure doesn't end there.
On the way home, Greg makes the mandatory stop in his favorite city, London, squeezing in meetings, benchmarking, and a few unforgettable experiences. The guys talk about seeing 'Oliver!' in the West End, stepping inside The Traitors Live Experience, and why London continues to set the standard for immersive entertainment.
Throw in a few travel mishaps, observations from both sides of the Atlantic, and the usual Rum and Nerdy tangents, and you've got another episode fueled by adventure, storytelling, and just enough jet lag to keep things interesting.

Greg and Garrick take an online pop culture nerd quiz to see just how nerdy they really are. The results? Let's just say the internet may need a fact-checker because a couple of those questions were flat-out wrong. Naturally, this leads to spirited debates, questionable scoring, and the kind of nerd outrage only a bad quiz can create.
Greg also gives a quick take on The Madison... or as he has renamed it. "The Sadison." It's brief, mildly emotional, and very on-brand.
To wrap things up, Greg looks ahead to his upcoming trip to Gothenburg, Sweden for the TEA SATE Europe & Middle East Conference, with a stop in London along the way. Conferences, friends, travel, and probably a few stories that will need to be edited before becoming podcast-safe.
More updates from Europe next episode.
