Episode 53 – Drinking in the New Year

In the latest episode of Nerdsense, your hosts give a shout out to some of the highlights of the past year, talking about some of their favorite movies, video games and albums.

They also discuss the latest Deadpool trailer and finally get around to talking about the latest Mission Impossible film, Rogue Nation.

It’s a pretty informal conversation, and the boys definitely get their buzz on, but it’s lively and fun, with an over abundance of f-bombs courtesy of Mike. It’s the year end episode and they do not disappoint.

Shaun and Mike are joined by their brother-in-beer, Matt. They are sampling beer, talking about their respective introductions into drinking beer, the origins of their friendships, brewing and having a great time talking about one of their favorite subjects: Star Wars.

It’s a little nerdy, a little silly, and a little… umm… actually, it’s a lot of fun.
