Episode 6.09: Rum-Gyver: This week we channel our inner duct-tape-and-paperclip energy with Rum-Gyver, a throwback episode packed with stories that probably should have stayed buried.

Garrick’s longtime friend Anthony joins us in studio, all the way from Garrick’s very first theme park job. The result? A wildly unfiltered walk down memory lane filled with Six Flags stories, questionable decisions, and the kind of chaos that only happens when underpaid theme park kids are left unsupervised.

We dive into the weird social ecosystems of early park life, where friendships form fast, legends grow faster, and somehow people end up on “the list” for life. Along the way we revisit our musician buddy Tyson, swap stories that get progressively less reliable, and relive the kind of moments that only make sense if you were there… and maybe not even then.

Fair warning: this is a long one. A slow, meandering, occasionally hilarious trek through nostalgia, bad memory recall, and just enough rum to keep things interesting.

If you ever worked at a theme park, had a job that bonded you through shared trauma, or just enjoy watching us spiral into old stories, this one’s for you.

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.
