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. Theme song by Grant Gordon,

The Trial of Mr. Beast

2026/03/30

A boy named Jimmy studied internet algorithms instead of books and created a gigantic empire to become the most subscribed to YouTuber and is now a billionaire with multiple product lines and dealings with Saudi Arabia, cause hey why not?! Jake argues that he’s just a symptom of the world we live in and providing the entertainment we deserve while Mike thinks his popularity is bad for society, especially kids (Helen Lovejoy: Won’t someone think of the children?!) Holden is somewhere in the middle

Special guest Joel Kim Booster (Scrubs, Fire Island, K Pop Demon Hunters!!) joins our hosts to review and rank the first arc of every Absolute DC book, the line of comics that’s been a critical and sales darling.

Nerd of Mouth ·

2026/03/16

Sonic refused to be contained in one episode very much like how continually refuses to be counted out. Holden runs the boys through all his failed video game comebacks (Especially 06)and talks about how and why new generation hitched their hearts to the furry blue speedster that always comes back to new frontiers.

The History of all things Sonic the Hedgehog Part 1

Nerd of Mouth ·

2026/03/09

We try to go fast through the history of Sonic the Hedgehog but there's too many spikes of random information that pop up and get in our way. Our three egg men answer questions like how did Sonic come to be? How was he marketed differently? How does one character get two simultaneous bipolar cartoons? Why are his silly comics mired by years of lawsuits? We get knuckles deep in this one, covering everything in the first 15 years of the little blue guy before calling an audible and realizing ironic

The Sonic Knockoff Extravaganza!

Nerd of Mouth ·

2026/03/02

To paraphrase Tony Montana: First you come up with a mascot, then you make the platformer game, then you make the money. Yes, with the advent that little blue meth/ring imbued hedgehog had dozens of game publishers thought to themselves: Hey, that looks easy, I could also do that. And so we had a swarm of Bubsys, Gexs, and acrobatic bats flood the shelves in the hopes your grandma couldn't tell the difference between the game you wanted and Awesome Possum. Many companies tried to get their own

The Sub Vs. Dub Anime Argument

Nerd of Mouth ·

2026/02/23

It is the argument that has ended friendships, a debate that often leaves two people screaming at each other like Goku. But don't worry, we have a rather civilized discussion on the merits of both subtitled anime and dubbed anime. Jake explains how why the quality of dubbing has improved over the years and plays some pretty hilarious clips to show us just how many bumps along the road there were. We hope you enjoy this episode and don't worry, we do not care about how you listen to it!Want even

The Steven Q Urkel Effect

A whole episode on Steve Urkel? Yes we did do that. What happens when a one off guest star becomes the focus of a show and family no longer matters? What other examples are there of one character unexpectedly taking over an show?And just how did an audience full of frat bros and the promise of a Sega Genesis facilitate the birth of Urkel in the first place?Want even more Nerd of Mouth?

Nerd of Mouth ·

2026/02/09

Holden talks us through the ins and other ins and more ins of fantasy football and while he lays down the history, comedian Trae Crowder talks about the personal satisfaction and fun of being in a fantasy football league for 20 years, and how glorious but also humiliating that can be. Lots of glory and humiliation in this one! Yes we talk sports, but more importantly how a bunch of nerds took sports and made it into their own version of D and D with CTE.Want even more Nerd of Mouth? Support us on

Spider-man and Marriage

Nerd of Mouth ·

2026/02/02

Peter Parker and Mary Jane had one of the most storied romances in comic book history and they even got married until their love was bitten by a radioactive editorial mandate and it all went away. Mike takes Jake and Holden through the whirlwind history and screwy destruction of Spider-man’s marriage, the real life wedding they staged to promote it, and Paul. Yeah, we talk about Paul, but not too much, we promise!Want even more Nerd of Mouth? Support us on Patreon

The Art of Fighting Game Rosters

Nerd of Mouth ·

2026/01/26

Get ready for a hundred hand slap of knowledge as Holden takes the lead and describes the mechanics and aesthetics that make a great fighting game roster. He lists all the different types of characters from zoners to grapplers to puppets, why some characters get banned from tournaments, and then he, Jake, and Mike all take turns coming up with the dream property they want to see a fighting game based on. It gets very weird and saucy. But funWant even more Nerd of Mouth? Support us on Patreon

Why is Avatar So Successful?

Nerd of Mouth ·

2026/01/19

Avatar is the number one box office king of the world and yet it leaves no real cultural footprint despite being hella pretty to look at. You don't see cosplays, there aren't memorable quotes (unless angry hissing counts) and there's an almost naked boy named Spider that they reeeeeallly want to be a thing. Jake, flying in on a dragon connected to a braid in his hair flies in to defend the franchise, why these movies are important, why they're successful, and how there's a deeper meaning. Mike's

Holden, Jake, and Mike try their best at predicting the future in the volatile world of nerdery. Will Avengers Doomsday just be financial Doomsday for Disney? Will GTA 6 close the door on open world games or be worth all the delays? Is this the year video game movies are finally as fun as the video games they're based on? And what anime has the chance to take the world by storm besides One Piece because yeah, this is definitely the year of One Piece. It's really the decade at this point. Listen

What Makes a Great Christmas Movie

Nerd of Mouth ·

2025/12/29

Yes, we're a little late for Christmas but that's because we were busy watching Michael Caine act his ass off in front of a bunch of Muppets. Jake, Holden, and Mike talk about their favorite Christmas movies and TV specials, and unlike the Chanukah episode there isn't time to list them all. And yes Die Hard gets it due because we're not having that argument and if you try we're throwing you off Nakatomi Plaza.

Jake talks about growing up Jewish and celebrating a traditional Chanukah, Mike explains what it's like only be half Jewish and never more than half interested in Chanukah and Holden keeps talking about how Christmas is better even though we know it's better.

The Rock was on top of the world for years but now he's making moves that have raised everyone else's eyebrows but his own. In the past few years he's tried to lay the smackdown on Vin Diesel, the DC universe, and...Christmas? What happens when a manly man becomes more of a brandy brand? And is it possible to still call yourself the people's champion when the people have turned on you and no longer like the smell of what you're cooking?

2025/12/08

Nintendo, the company we grew up with and loved for it's cute characters and intuitive gameplay will now tell you "Hey Nintendon't mod your system or we'll brick the damn thing". Has Nintendo gotten more litigious or is it baked into their DNA like mute protagonists and Italian Stereotypes? Holden is the prosecutor, Jake the defender (it is a Japanese company after all), and Mike the judge (sadly there is no Mike Judge in this episode) as we put Nintendo on trial to see whether this is a company

An MCU Villains tier list

We ranked the MCU Avengers and you seemed to like that enough to fill us with enough delusions of grandeur to rank the colorful (often green or gray) bad guys of the MCU. We're talking everyone from Abomination to Zemo! Every character is beloved by someone which is the only way you can justify Jake sticking up for Kaecilius, Mike rewatching Iron Man 2 repeatedly to slobber all over Justin's Hammer, and Holden's undying love of Norman Osborn. Actually that last one makes sense, it's Willem Dafoe. He

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
