Rum and Nerdy Episode 6.02: Jurassic Rum is here, and we kick things off with an absolute winner The Privateer Letter of Marque New England Single Cask / Florida Rum Society. It was fantastic, and we spend some time digging into why it hit so well.

From there, we wrap up the NFL regular season chaos Chiefs out, Green Bay in and talk through what that means heading into the next phase.

Then we bounce through the usual Rum and Nerdy grab bag Greg is officially running out of LEGO display space, we talk new shows, home office setups, and the strangely satisfying world of displaying your NFL owner shares.

Cheers, and welcome back to Season 6.

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 6.01 - Stranger Nerdy: Happy New Year and welcome to Season 6 of Rum & Nerdy.

We kick things off with a brand-new season intro from Demo Dave—and it is, without question, bad ass. From there, things take an immediate turn when Garrick absolutely tricks Greg into drinking Malört Egg Nog, a decision that will be remembered… and regretted.

We then take some time to wrap up 2025, reflecting on the year behind us, the moments that defined it and icons we lost along the way. Naturally, we dive deep into the Stranger Things finale, breaking down the ending of a show that’s been part of our lives for nearly a decade.

To close it out, we look forward to what 2026 has in store—new adventures, new projects, new travels, and whatever chaos we manage to create next.

New year. New season. Questionable drinks.
Same Rum & Nerdy energy.

Rum & Nerdy – Episode 5.48: The Queen Family Truckster: As 2025 starts rolling toward the garage, we pile everyone in for a holiday-fueled episode full of cheer, chaos, and just a little questionable decision-making—The Family Truckster style.

This week we’re sipping on a Hemingway Daiquiri (sort of) while talking through our Christmas plans, favorite gifts, holiday recipes, and the seasonal art of binging… shows, food, and probably both at the same time. We reflect on traditions old and new, what makes the holidays feel like the holidays, and why snacks somehow taste better this time of year.

We also share our experience getting to see the new Fragile Rock: A Space-y Adventure at Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex, because nothing says festive quite like space exploration, storytelling, and a little nerdy wonder mixed in with your end-of-year reflections.

It’s a relaxed, laugh-heavy episode filled with tomfoolery, gratitude, and looking ahead. As 2025 comes to a close, we take time to celebrate our friends and family, appreciate the journey so far, and get excited about the adventures still waiting down the road.

Hop in, buckle up, and don’t touch the radio.
