Episode 6.40: Halloween, Old Stories, and Three Hearts:
It’s our Halloween episode, and Kim Gromoll joins Greg and Garrick for a spirited trip through Halloween memories, old stories, and the kind of nostalgia that gets better with every retelling. We’re sipping Johnny Depp’s Three Hearts rum, because apparently even the rum needs a backstory. Kim also shows up bearing gifts: a new Wicket the Ewok for Greg and a zombie football figure for Garrick, inspired by the legendary Ice Bowl in Green Bay. Naturally, we take a moment to admire the loot—and let the stories wander. Check out Kim’s work on his website and find his prints at Acme Archives. It’s spooky season, so settle in for a little rum, a lot of memories, and a few tales that may or may not have improved with age. 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 6.39: Football, Floats, and Fall TV:
Episode 6.39: Football, Floats, and Fall TV: We’re about a third of the way through the NFL regular season, so naturally Greg and Garrick have some football thoughts. Whether those thoughts are insightful, questionable, or just an excuse to talk about the Chiefs remains to be seen. Then it’s time to wrap up last week’s adventures at SATE and Explores, talk about our Podfest application, and catch up on the new fall TV season. What’s worth watching? What’s worth skipping? And how much television can two nerds realistically keep up with before their brains turn to streaming-service mush? Oh, and we rode a float. That’s not a metaphor. Probably. You’ll have to listen to get the story. It’s another episode of themed entertainment, sports, TV, and whatever else happens when we hit record and let the conversation wander. Rum & Nerdy: We talk football. We talk fandom. We ride floats. We regret nothing. 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 one final day of Storytelling, Architecture, Technology, and Experience ahead, we're taking a moment to catch up with friends, reflect on the highlights so far, and enjoy a little New Orleans hospitality. Special guests stop by to say hello, share their favorite moments and memories from the conference, and offer their thoughts on an incredible gathering of creative minds.

It's a little bit of SATE, a little bit of New Orleans, and a whole lot of Rum & Nerdy!

Episode 6.37: Zero Prep, Questionable Direction
Episode 6.37 — Zero Prep, Questionable Direction Greg and Garrick are flying without a flight plan this week. Shocking, we know. The boys talk about next week’s SATE conference, throwing their hats into the ring for Podfest 2027, and the fascinating world of podcast download metrics — including where, exactly, people are listening to two guys talk about nerdy stuff and rum. They also get into authenticity, finding your voice, and having enough confidence on the mic to stop second-guessing every word. Greg contemplates life after serving on a TEA board, which apparently involves figuring out what to do with all that free time (or finding entirely new ways to fill it). Plus, the usual collection of other topics that happen when you hit record without a plan. Turns out, sometimes the best prep is no prep at all. Rum & Nerdy: We have the data. We have the opinions. We may even have a plan someday.

Episode 6.36: Strange New Worlds, Strange Old Nerds
Episode 6.36: Strange New Worlds, Strange Old Nerds: It’s time to wrap up Season 4 of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds, and naturally Greg and Garrick have thoughts. Lots of them. The guys also wander through the latest movie and TV news, talk about a few documentaries that have caught their attention, and take a look at the return of the fall network TV season—because apparently people still watch television on a schedule. And as the episode draws to a close, the boys take a moment to prepare for the inevitable rise of our AI overlords. We swear our allegiance, offer our unquestioning loyalty, and humbly ask that they please, please keep Rum & Nerdy around. We know our place.

Episode 6.35 — Level 99
Episode 6.35 — Level 99 It’s another Rum & Nerdy adventure, and this time Greg and Garrick are leveling up! Fresh off a TEA event at Disney Springs, the guys dive into Level 99, the new immersive gaming attraction where competition, creativity, and just a little bit of chaos collide. Greg had already gotten a taste of Level 99 a few weeks earlier at the Virginia location, so naturally, the two compare notes, talk about some of their favorite games, and discuss why they both had such a ridiculously good time. Then it’s time to settle into the couch for a good old-fashioned TV nerd-out. The guys run through the many shows currently fighting for their attention, with plenty of extra attention paid to the strange current season of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds. Strange? Absolutely. But is it still boldly going where we want it to go? That’s up for discussion. And finally, a quick look across the pond as IAAPA Expo Europe gets underway in London this week. Because apparently these two can’t go more than five minutes without talking about the attractions industry. Level up, engage, and grab yourself a rum.

Episode 6.34 - We the Nerds
Episode 6.34 - We the Nerds: This week Greg and Garrick are on the road, recording from Williamsburg, Virginia at the TEA Explores Williamsburg event. After a full first day exploring Jamestown Settlement and the American Revolution Museum at Yorktown, apparently Greg and Garrick are feeling a little patriotic. So naturally, the Preamble to the United States Constitution becomes the theme of the show. Because nothing says "We the People" quite like two guys drinking rum and talking about nerdy stuff. We are also joined by a couple of special guests who came prepared with two very important things: rum and his own delicious rum drink. So obviously, he understood the assignment. We talk about what we've experienced so far in Williamsburg, the way history is brought to life, storytelling, themed entertainment, and everything still ahead of us at Colonial Williamsburg and Busch Gardens. Plus, as always, we wander off topic a few times. Probably more than a few. We the People, in Order to form a more perfect podcast... Grab a glass and join Greg and Garrick for Rum & Nerdy from Williamsburg.

Episode 6.33: Roll Out
Episode 6.33: Roll Out: Roll out! This week, Kelly joins us as a special guest as we pay tribute to the legendary Peter Cullen, the unmistakable voice of Optimus Prime, and talk about the impact Transformers had on all of us growing up. From there, things go exactly where you’d expect a Rum & Nerdy conversation to go. We talk a little TEA, somehow get into feeding Garrick’s daughter’s pet snake, and crack open Johnny Depp’s new Three Hearts Rum. Our review: great rum, possibly an even better bottle. Kelly and Greg reminisce about growing up in theater, which leads us into Stranger Things: The First Shadow and bringing the world of the Netflix series to the stage. Finally, we go down a rabbit hole about some of the longest movies ever made. We look at three of the record holders, and trust us, you are not going to guess just how long the longest movie actually is. Transformers, rum, theater, snakes, Stranger Things, ridiculously long movies, and Kelly. Roll out!

Episode 6.32: Replaced by Muppets
Episode 6.32: Replaced by Muppets: This week, we start with Star Trek: Strange New Worlds Season 4, Episode 5, where almost the entire crew gets replaced by puppet versions of themselves. Except Spock, because apparently even the Muppets have rules. That somehow takes us all the way back to the original Star Trek pilot and how those characters and stories connect to Strange New Worlds. From there, puppets naturally lead to Muppets, as we work our way through the various Muppet movies, their casts, and the many different versions of the show over the years. Eventually we wander away from puppets altogether and get into Stewart Fails to Save the Universe, the larger Big Bang Theory franchise, the current season of Reacher, and Alan Ritchson. And because we clearly needed one more completely reasonable idea, we wrap things up by discussing our plan to build a fleet of famous movie cars and use them to drive for Uber. Come for Star Trek. Stay for the Muppets. Leave wondering whether you would pay extra for an Uber ride in the DeLorean. 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.

Episode 6.31: Conspiracy Update
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
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 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
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. 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.

Episode 6.28: European Excursion:
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 Twist 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.

Episode 6.27: Mid-Season Pivot
Episode 6.27: Mid-Season Pivot: This week the guys hit the pause button on their usual format... sort of. 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.

From the attractions to the overall experience, the guys discuss Universal's newest park, who it's really for, and what it says about the future of family entertainment. Next, Greg shares stories from a whirlwind trip to Chicago, including a deeply moving visit to the Anne Frank exhibit at the Museum of Science and Industry. The conversation turns to how great storytelling can educate, inspire, and leave a lasting emotional impact. They also talk about the newly opened Obama Presidential Center and why they're looking forward to seeing how it evolves. Then it's back to Los Angeles for Rush's opening night of their latest tour. The guys break down the show, the band's newest drummer, and why seeing one of your favorite bands live never gets old. Finally, they wrap up the California adventure with a stop at the Petersen Automotive Museum to geek out over incredible cars before making one last pilgrimage to the iconic Bradbury Building, forever etched into sci-fi history as one of the unforgettable locations from Blade Runner. Theme parks, museums, rock concerts, architecture, movie locations... and somehow it all makes perfect sense. Well... at least to Greg and Garrick.

Episode 6.24 - Rum and Villainy: This week Greg and Garrick record live from the legendary Scum & Villainy Cantina in Hollywood, California, proving once again that if there's a nerdy location nearby, they will eventually find a way to podcast from it. Recorded in the middle of a California adventure, the guys soak in the atmosphere of one of the most immersive nerd bars around while discussing everything from Star Wars and fandom to themed entertainment, travel stories, and whatever other topics happen to wander into the cantina. As always, the conversation takes a few unexpected turns, a few questionable opinions are shared, and there is a very real possibility that the background noise is more on-theme than anything the hosts actually say.

Greg and Garrick kick things off after discovering a buddy of theirs was featured on a 2009 episode of Mega Builderscovering the rise (and very fast fall) of Hard Rock Park. That leads into a conversation about the project, including one of their favorite TEA presentations centered around the uncomfortable but important topic of great projects that fail. From there, the conversation turns personal as both Greg and Garrick reflect on projects they’ve worked on over the years, including a throwback to Nights of Terror on International Drive in the mid-2000s… and all the chaos that came with it. As always, the episode winds its way through stories, lessons learned, and a few sideways tangents before wrapping up with a look ahead at upcoming travel, conferences, and whatever adventures are next on the calendar.

Greg and Garrick dive into Season 1 of Maul: Shadow Lord on Disney+, breaking down the story, the tone, and just how deep into the shadows Star Wars is willing to go. From character arcs to overall impact on the larger universe, they unpack what worked, what didn’t, and where this series lands in the growing Star Wars lineup. Of course, no conversation stays on the rails for long. The discussion jumps into classic Star Wars tangents, theories, and a few “wait… did you know that?” moments that spiral in the best way possible. Somewhere along the way, things take a hard left turn into “10 things you didn’t know about Bumbu Rum”… which naturally leads to actually drinking it. Because research matters.

Greg and Garrick dive deep into The Mandalorian & Grogu, breaking down their thoughts on the film, what worked, what surprised them, and where it fits in the ever-expanding Star Wars universe. From character moments to story choices, they unpack it all with the usual mix of insight, sarcasm, and nerdy enthusiasm. Of course, it wouldn’t be a proper Rum and Nerdy episode without chasing down Easter eggs, callbacks, and hidden details. The conversation quickly spirals (as it does) into broader Star Wars discussions, theories, timelines, and the ongoing evolution of the franchise. There are opinions. There are tangents.
