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.

2025/11/24

With the holiday season upon us it's time to talk about some of the toys that break us! Mike, the one of the three who has not resisted the temptation of plastic crack makes more than a few articulated points on what it's like to be a modern action figure collector, when it feels fun and when it just feels like an episode of My Strange Addiction. What's a Build a figure or an army builder? What makes a chase variant worth tracking down? And of course, because it will excite one specifically weird

Nerd of Mouth ·

2025/11/17

Video game magazines came and then the internet delivered a killshot and dropped a giant bomb on video game journalism. Holden walks us through the journey of how it all started pure before the corporate overlords did the thing they do of taking over and firing lots of decent people, and where that leaves us now. Guest Mike Drucker (Author of Good Game, No Rematch) joins with his own personal perspective on all of it. If you were wondering when we’d get to the interoffice politics of Kotaku.com,

Remember when you’d spend your allowance on some grainy photos of Castlevania IV and trust a cartoon frog to tell you which console to buy? There were tips and also tricks in the same place! We sure do and will go over all the Gamepros and cons from the heyday of video game magazines. How did they start? Why did they die? And shockingly, which one is still being published today?!Want even more Nerd of Mouth? Support us on Patreon! www.patreon.com/nerdofmouthSubscribe to SiriusXM Podcasts+ to listen

Batman's Bat God Crisis

Nerd of Mouth ·

2025/11/03

How does a street level vigilante turn into a meme of a character that can do anything and beat anyone? It takes time, popularity, Grant Morrison, and casually sacrificing the rest of the DC universe (Some with just one punch!) to give us the omnipotent version of Batman that could beat anyone with some prep time and a trust fund. And who cares if some people balk at how OP ol' Brucie is, the stories are dope and yeah, we should all have contingency plans to stop Aquaman. This is the episode on

We conclude spooky season (To be fair it's been a pretty damn spooky year) with a history of haunted house attractions. Holden takes us all the way back to when haunts started with Ancient Greece and through some Dark Ages, some not so Dark Ages, and the Great Depression when creepily yelling at people for fun started becoming the art form it is today! Then Jake talks about theme park horror attractions like Halloween Horror Nights and Knotts Scary farm. And finally Mike takes us home talking about

2025/10/06

Aim lock yourself in a room and listen as Holden goes through the entire history of cheating in video games and discusses the different kinds of cheating that happen. This one gets deep into tech talk but also the moral dilemma we all face when we ask if cheating is okay if it makes a game more fun (yes it is and yes it does) and when does it all go too far?Want even more Nerd of Mouth?

We're doing a good ol' fashioned deep dive on the man from the Great White North who made Hollywood his second city and blew up the box office! We go through Rick's early life, his meteoric rise and his powerful decision to walk away from it all, proving he was the goodhearted nerd we always cheered for. If it ever comes out that he's actually a terrible person we will have to immediately take this episode down because we shower him with praise as both a performer and a man. But I don't think he

Witness as a boy is born and uses fantasy to escape the reality of living in the foul wasteland that is Bayonne New Jersey. Young George RR Martin is the ultimate fanboy, transforms into the ultimate journeyman writer, and then after years of toiling in writers rooms and the clearance section of Waldenbooks creates a beloved book series!
