Childhood Movies, Public Speaking, & Parenting Slip-Ups: An Honest & Hilarious Episode

In this heartfelt and hilarious episode of Wise_N_Nerdy, Charles and Joe take listeners on a journey through memory, mischief, and meaningful conversations — all rolled by the luck of the dice.

The episode kicks off with the Question of the Week: “What is the first movie you remember seeing in theaters?” Joe, Charles, and even some of the show's listeners share their earliest big-screen memories. Whether it was awe, fear, or total confusion, the nostalgia is real.

With the roll of the dice, the first segment lands on some wonderfully cringey dad jokes submitted by Devocite. They're the kind of groaners that relax the soul and make you laugh in spite of yourself.

Next, it’s time for the “How Do I...?” segment, where Charles and Joe give practical, thoughtful advice on becoming a more confident public speaker. Whether you're prepping for a panel, a PTA meeting, or just trying not to stutter at your kid’s school event, this advice is gold.

The dice then call forth the “Parliament of Papas”, where the guys discuss a real-world parenting dilemma: a mom constantly correcting people on her daughter’s name. Is it about identity, respect, or social overreach? The discussion is thoughtful, funny, and eye-opening.

Next, we dive into “Daddy, Tell Me A Story”, where Charles shares a very real parenting moment — losing his temper during a video game session and having his son repeat some choice words back to him. This sparks a deep and honest talk about how closely our kids watch us, and how important it is to model the behavior we want to see.

Finally, the episode wraps with “What are you Nerding out about?”. Joe raves about a new anime, The Water Magician, praising its stunning visuals and emotionally rich storytelling. Charles shares a few things he's been enjoying lately — including his cohost Kurt’s ventures into voice acting and the addictive indie game Balatro.

From parenting confessions to pop culture obsessions, this episode is a perfect reminder to laugh, grow, and Find your FAMdom.
