Your Nerd Best Friends are back with a chaotic cozy episode full of updates, randomness, and nerd joy. This week, Analese and Rob catch up on what they’ve been doing in their nerd lives lately — from tiny obsessions to big creative swings, questionable impulse purchases, hobby rabbit holes, and those moments where your brain says, “We can do that!” …and suddenly it’s 1am and you’re rearranging bookshelves or building a new game character for a campaign you’re not even in yet.

Analese gets ready for old person marching band and Rob confesses his latest nerd project involving Notebook LM during D&D, and both try to decide whether new hobbies are productive or just a socially acceptable form of procrastination… we support either way.

Also in this episode: nerd mail, the first Stephen King you ever read (and at what young age), AI and table top gaming, principal's promises, and a gentle reminder that you’re allowed to follow your curiosity and create just because it’s fun.
