Nerdherfers ·

2025/11/05

his week, we’re going old school — like, George Washington’s distillery old — as we dive into the wild and spicy history of rye whiskey. From its colonial roots to its modern revival, we’re tracing how America’s original spirit went from forgotten bottle to back-bar royalty.We’re tasting our way through a few different ryes — purely for research purposes, of course — and pairing it with the My Father Blue cigar, a rich, complex smoke that holds up to rye’s signature kick better than a bartender

Nerdherfers ·

2025/10/22

This week, we’re strapping on the chrome helmet, cranking up some glam rock, and diving headfirst into Season 2 of Peacemaker — the most patriotic fever dream ever put on TV. Will James Gunn keep the chaos rolling, or has the eagle finally landed? Either way, you can bet we’ll be talking explosions, daddy issues, and dance numbers no one asked for but everyone secretly loves.We’re fueling the fun with a pour of Rabbit Hole Cave Hill, smooth enough to make Vigilante seem stable, and pairing it with

Nerdherfers ·

2025/10/15

This week, we’re diving headfirst into the dungeon—no dice rolls required—because we’re talking about the insane, hilarious, and surprisingly heartfelt book series Dungeon Crawler Carl.

Taylor San Andrés cigar, rich and complex enough to survive a few boss fights, and pairing it with E.H. Taylor Small Batch

S2 Ep25: Jaws!

Nerdherfers ·

2025/08/27

Just when you thought it was safe to light up another cigar… this week we’re celebrating the 50th anniversary of Jaws—the movie that made us all afraid to go back in the water, and proved that sometimes the real monster is the mayor who insists the beach stay open.We’re chomping down on the Atabey Black Ritos, a smoke bold enough to stand up to a great white, and pairing it with Angel’s Envy Rye, sweet and spicy like John Williams’ score sneaking up behind you.So grab a dram, spark your stogie, and

S2 Ep24: The Fantastic Four

Nerdherfers ·

2025/08/20

This week, we’re diving headfirst into the cosmic storm, because Marvel’s Fantastic Four are finally making their way back to the big screen. Will James Gunn’s DC Superman have competition, or will Marvel’s First Family finally get the respect they deserve—or will this reboot go down faster than the Roger Corman 1994 bootleg?We’ve seen it all: the campy 2005 version where Reed Richards was stretchier than the plot, the Silver Surfer sequel that left us surfing for the exit, and of course, the

S2 Ep23: Superman!

2025/07/24

Up, up, and away—straight into another episode where the only thing stronger than Superman's jawline is our collective nerd rage. This week, we're suiting up and geeking out over James Gunn’s new Superman—will he bring truth, justice, and a fresh start to the DCU, or are we in for another heroic swing and Krypton-sized miss?And speaking of misses... we tried a Hawaiian cigar and bourbon combo that tanked harder than Batman v Superman’s third act. Seriously, they were so bad, we almost sent

S2 Ep22: Prime Time Blues

Nerdherfers ·

2025/07/03

Welcome back to the show where the cigars are lit, the drinks are neat, and our TV opinions are anything but syndicated. This week, we’re flipping through the channels of memory—and judgment—as we talk about the shows we loved from the ’70s, ’80s, ’90s, and beyond… and the ones still clinging to airtime like a bad spin-off nobody asked for.We’re pouring a glass of Dalmore 12 Scotch—smooth, complex, and aged better than most shows from the ‘80s—and pairing it with the DC 919 cigar, because if we’re

S2 Ep21: What's in Store for the DCU?

Nerdherfers ·

2025/06/25

Welcome back to the show where the smoke is thick, the drinks are strong, and the opinions come faster than Barry Allen on espresso. This week, we’re looking to the skies—because the future of the DC Universe is riding on one dude in red and blue tights, and his name is Superman. Directed by none other than James Gunn, the guy who turned a talking tree and a raccoon into box office gold, we’re asking: Is this the hero DC deserves… or just another Justice League-level letdown?We’re lighting up the

Strike up a flame and pour a dram — this week’s episode is positively electric! We’re lighting up the Caja Real cigar, pouring a glass of Iron Wolf Bourbon, and breaking down Marvel’s latest anti-hero team-up in the new Thunderbolts movie.

Nerdherfers ·

2025/05/28

This week, we’re throwing on our fishnets, firing up the Davidoff Gran Escurio Gran Perfecto, and pouring a generous glass of Blanton’s Single Barrel—because if we’re going to talk about the legend that is Tim Freakin’ Curry, we’re doing it with style, swagger, and just a touch of sinister laughter. From the sweet transvestite in Rocky Horror to the suave villainy of Clue, Legend, and Muppet Treasure Island (yes, Long John Silver had range), we’re deep-diving into the velvet-voiced chaos that is Tim

2025/05/21

Strap in, light up, and pour yourself something spicy—because this week we’re trading Jedi mind tricks for morally gray monologues as we dive deep into Season 2 of Andor. We’re talkin’ rebellion, regret, and rogue espionage with a side of existential dread—and we love it.To set the mood, we’re puffing on the bold and brooding La Gloria Cubana Serie R Black Maduro, a cigar so rich and intense it makes Luthen’s speeches feel like bedtime stories.

2025/04/30

This week… we're bringin' home the bacon — literally. That’s right, we’re diving deep into the crispy, greasy, glorious world of bacon. From breakfast MVP to burger backup dancer, bacon is the only food that doesn’t just join a dish — it saves it. We'll also be enjoying the Room 101 Doomsayer — a cigar so bold it could talk trash to your in-laws — and sip the Andalusia Revenant Oak Peated Whisky. It’s smoky, it’s mysterious, and frankly, it pairs with bacon better than your ex ever paired with

S2 Ep10: Bad TV Shows From Our Childhood

Nerdherfers ·

2025/04/02

This week we're taking a hard look at those beloved TV shows from our childhood… that, well, maybe should’ve stayed in the past. You know the ones—those shows we swore were legendary, only to rewatch as adults and realize… yikes. Whether it’s the cringe-worthy special effects, the questionable jokes, or the acting that makes a soap opera look like Shakespeare, some of our favorites just don’t hold up. While we're lamenting, we'll be enjoying the 1693 Rye Whisky and the Faustino "Cuban" cigar. Join
