My name is John, and I am a nerd. I have lots of other nerdy friends. For many years we would get together, drink and talk about all kinds of nerdy things. Now no longer are those conversations shrouded in the privacy of whosever house we are hanging out at. Thanks to having a lot of extra time we are now recording all of these crazy conversations so that someone other than the NSA is listening to them. If you like nerdy things, who knows, maybe you will like this.

After hosting since the beginning Roejen has decided to step away for a while and we clink our glasses to him. We say hello to friend of the podcast and new cohost Anthony. We pour one out for AoL dialup internet and reminisce about the before times, the long long ago. Finally we relive memories of band camp as my daughter now must endure it.
In this issue we pour one out for a TV Icon. We cover the most important OND May tradition, another round of ”Weed Strain or Racehorse”. In another story of John’s Poor Impulse Control we have a reading from the Australian Bogan translation of ”War and Peace”. We learn how Gen Z is killing the Yakuza and cover a local rash of brazen Pokemon robberies.
Rojen and I pour one out for a lengthy role call of celebrities, catch up on the cavalcade of things we missed, more stories of ”It Came from John’s Poor Impulse Control”, and we discuss why we are both currently in love with physical media. With luck, we’ll be back with more shows as we now witness the power of my fully operational podcasting station.
So we had a whole bunch of topics we wanted to cover in this issue since it had been a while since we recorded. Instead we launched into an almost two hour deep dive to talk about Fast Food and a few other random off shoot topics. Grab yourself a snack before you listen to this one, you are going to be hungry.
Come celebrate the two high Holy Weeks of the Nerd Calendar with us as we talk the San Diego Comic Con and Gen Con. We also have a spoiler heavy review of Deadpool and Wolverine and drool over some of the upcoming items in the Prop Store’s Summer Auction.
It’s a summer without blockbuster movies so far so in this issue of Old Nerds Drinking we discuss possibly one of the strangest movies ever made that was so weird even Rojen, connoisseur of weird and strange movies, was blown away. We finally talk about the amazing Fallout tv show from Amazon Prime and get to talk a little bit about the Acolyte on the Star Wars front.
After a short travel break we are back. We pour one out for King Theoden and Lower Decks. We round up my recent round of travels as well as take a peek into some drama happening in the Warhammer 40k community. Finally, in honor of the Kentucky Derby we once again play ”Weed Strain or Horse Name”.
After a four month hiatus (did you miss us?), OND is back to spill the spice on Dune part 2. Roe and I literally dust off the microphones to catch up a little bit, have some drinks and talk about what is becoming the biggest movie to hit theaters in months.
Just in time for the start of the holiday season OND is back with a double sized new episode. Sadly we say goodbye to OND’s unofficial third member and pour one out for Kitty Sammy. We sample some of Rojen’s secret mead stash. We go down an internet rabbit hole and listen to some classic Filk music. Finally we ramble on about what we hope is coming for Hollywood now that both the Writers and Actors strikes have been settled.
In this issue we say goodbye to Jimmy Buffet, a true legend of the drinking pantheon. We also discuss if fandoms could be considered a religion, I tell the story of my legendary garage sale find and finally we talk about a once in a lifetime collection coming to auction.
In this issue we pour one out for some true legends, more stories of the internet tempting me with things that I want, we talk about the 30th anniversary of Jurassic Park, and we talk about the first two episodes of Ahsoka.
Still alive and ready for action in this issue we discuss the upcoming high holy week of the nerd calendar, Comic Con and the dark clouds that are gathering around it. We drink some Unicorn Farts and celebrate the 41st anniversary of Tron.
In this issue we finally get to our wrap up of Season Three of the Mandalorian, we talk about what impact the Writers Guild of America’s strike could have on upcoming shows, and speculate on the impending streaming wars.
In this Issue we have our annual recap of the cool and strange things we bought at the annual city wide garage sale as well as swapping some gaming stories.
In this Issue Roe and I are back in the Nerdcave where we taste test a new white trash cocktail of summer, taste test some crazy snacks, discuss WotC sending armed thugs to a customers home, and wrap it up with a touching tribute to Harry Bellefonte.
In this issue we have a though provoking discussion on the history of video games, their cultural influence and how to preserve them for future generations.
It wasn’t lost, it was just misplaced. In this issue we talk about a lot of stuff from the return of the summer blockbuster season to the Doomsday Clock.
