In this lively and heartfelt episode of Wise_N_Nerdy, Joe is joined by the talented author Clint Hall for a deep dive into the magic that happens when fatherhood meets fandom. It all kicks off with the Question of the Week: “What is your favorite movie quote?” Clint shares his love for Predator with its iconic lines, while Joe’s kids chime in with hilarious quotes from the upcoming Minecraft movie. Joe’s wife brings a classic touch with a quote from The Count of Monte Cristo, and Joe himself channels the wisdom of Dumbledore.

With a roll of the dice, the episode moves to the “Daddy, Tell Me A Story” segment, where Joe and Clint discuss how nerdy dads can become everyday heroes to their families — not through superpowers, but through the lessons they teach and the examples they set. This touching conversation is a perfect reminder to Find your FAMdom.

Next, fate guides us to the “Parliament of Papas” where the hosts tackle a thoughtful topic: Should AI play a role in the creative process? Joe and Clint explore the balance between authentic storytelling and the growing influence of artificial intelligence.

In the “How Do I…?” segment, the conversation turns to storytelling itself: How do you tell stories that truly matter? Clint and Joe compare writing purely for the joy of great storytelling with writing focused on getting published, offering practical insights and inspiration for fellow creators.

A bit of fun follows with some delightfully bad dad jokes submitted by TheFullRunThrough from Discord, guaranteed to make you laugh — or groan.

Finally, the episode wraps up with the fan-favorite “What are you Nerding out about?” segment. Clint shares his excitement over the smart storytelling in the Dungeons & Dragons movie and talks passionately about his love for Fahrenheit-182: A Memoir. Joe highlights standout anime from the Spring 2025 season, including My Hero Academia: Vigilantes, The Brilliant Healer's New Life in the Shadows, and The Beginning After the End.

Whether you're a dad, a fan, a writer, or all three, this episode blends humor, insight, and fandom into something truly special.
