Nerd of Mouth

The Last Podcast Network

The Nerds got their Revenge, now what? That’s what comedians Holden McNeely, Mike Lawrence, and Jake Young are trying to figure out in the weekly combination tribunal/confessional “Nerd of Mouth.” Recorded from the dankest basement in the “Last Podcast on the Left” studios, we’re getting to the bottom of whether there’s more to life than any% WR videogame speedruns, limited edition action figures, and anime shows about ludicrously strong children beating each other up.

The History and Future of Esports

Nerd of Mouth ·

2025/07/21

There's no "I" in Esports! That's a factual statement. This episode is crammed full of factual statements as Holden takes us on a tour from the very beginning of Esports in 1962 all the way up til now where there are full leagues of people (some legends, some not) playing for millions (both audience and dollars)! We go through it all from Billy Mitchell in his prime to EV0 moment 37 to The Overwatch League. Be dazzled by Holden's research, Jake's insightful commentary, and Mike's complete lack of

The Wrath of Cons

Nerd of Mouth ·

2025/07/14

Don't worry nerd of mouth breathers, there is lots of joy and very little wrath in this episode, it just fit the pun too well. We're excited to talk comic (and everything else) conventions as Holden gives a brief history on the beginnings of what would eventually become the gigantic gatherings of geeks we see today. Meanwhile Jake reminisces about performing at anime conventions and Mike learns about DashCon and the ballpit of despair. No one puts ballpit in a corner, except Dashcon. That's a thing

Must There Be A Superman?

Nerd of Mouth ·

2025/07/07

Look! It's a nerd! It's a podcast! It's a nerdy podcast about the importance of Superman just as a new iteration of the trunks wearing titan appears on the big screen. Why do people say Superman is boring? Why does he constantly get compared to Batman? And really, was that N64 game more fatal to Superman's reputation than a pocketful of Kryptonite? Our hosts both analyze and celebrate the man of steel, talking as passionately and enthusiastically as we all wish Henry Cavill got to do in even just

Attack on Live Action Anime

Nerd of Mouth ·

2025/06/30

If you watched the janky oddity that is the 2017 Death Note movie or the Scarlet Johansson Ghost in the Shell that also came out in 2017 (what a tough year) this is the episode for you! Anime is massive and yet a successful live action adaptation of one that's as good as the source material seems harder to find than the one piece treasure (With One Piece being the exception that breaks the rule) . Jake explains why this is and we all analyze some of the attempts including Cowboy Bebop, the insanity

Nature vs. Nerdture

Nerd of Mouth ·

2025/06/16

Are we born nerds or are we raised to be them? What impact does our environment have on who we are and what we love and just how important are the people around us?

The Summer Soundtrack Spectacular

Nerd of Mouth ·

2025/06/02

Holden talks us through that once beloved tradition that was born of both cinema and corporate synergy: The summer movie song. Whether it was Seal grinding on a Bat Signal, Kenny Loggins singing about jet planes, or a montage of Mr. T set to a pulse pounding track about tiger eyes, the summer movie song was everywhere...until it just wasn't anymore. What exactly happened and more importantly what are our cohosts going to pick as their three favorite summer movie songs of all time (from the early 80s

Face front true believers and angry accusers!!! It's the trial of the century where we argue about that guy that was almost alive for a century: Stan Lee. Is this man also this monster we've made him out to be? That passionate prosecutor Mike Lawrence takes on diligent defense dork Jake Young while Holden (and you listeners) reach a verdict.

With his steady calculator and studious notes handy, Jake makes like an Atari Jaguar and does th math to talk Holden and Mike through the expensive cartridge highs and cheap ass CD ROM lows of video game pricing. And where are we headed next?

Holden and Mike bring up various portrayals of nerds in pop culture and we all share our Big Bang Theory theories and wonder just where do we go now that nerds have certainly had their revenge and are the evil billionaires we fear instead of empathize with.Want even more Nerd

Can Fandoms Ruin it for Everyone Else?

We're so thankful that you are fans of us, especially on this, our fourth podcasting journey into the mouth of Nerdom where we dare ask "Can a fandom ruin a thing?" Perhaps Rick and Morty is a good enough show to overcome the bittersweet Szechuan rage of it's fans. Maybe Swifties do swiftly make some of us reconsider listening to any pop star. And yeah, we reckon with our thoughts on the Punisher. Don't worry, we keep it find funny and find some positives, but yeah, at times things get uglier than
