S05E21: 1961 Lincoln Continental Convertible: This week, Greg and Garrick take a top-down cruise through some truly bizarre historical déjà vu, exploring the wild parallels between the assassinations of Abraham Lincoln and JFK. (Spoiler: the rabbit hole is deep and weird.)
From there, they swerve into the strange world of celebrity assassinations, trivia nobody asked for, and a detour into the mysterious realm of IMDb Pro and the almighty Star Meter—because apparently, you can measure fame with a ruler and a subscription fee.
Also: what do "the running of the Hoods" and a random ice cream maker prop from Star Wars have in common? Absolutely nothing, and yet… everything.
Grab a drink, hold onto your conspiracy boards, and let’s get nerdy.
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.
