Nerds United 340: Blind Rank X-Men Movies and More

This time around on the ol Nerds United podcast, Mike and Greg discuss recent comic book acquisitions and what they’ve read. Gargoyles, Booster Gold, Man Thing, Astro City, Dark Knights of Steel, Once and Future, We Live, and a couple of characters, maybe you’ve heard of them, Batman and the Joker.

Then the duo discussed the Percy Jackson and the Olympians reboot heading to Disney+ later this year. Is that a show you’re excited to see? Let us know in the comments.

Then the guys went on to blind rank some stuff. First they did blind rankings of X-Men movies. Now for this, it wasn’t just movies with X-Men in the title, but any movie with an X-Man in it (and one that was tangentially included).

And then a couple of guys who like food blind rank breakfast noms.

…as a 41 year old man, it feels weird typing out “noms.”

Be kind.

My 1-2-3 Cents Episode 461: Masked Wrestlers We Knew

Masked wrestlers are typically a mystery. There are a handful of wrestlers through the years who donned a mask, but we, as fans, knew exactly who it was. So, special guest Lucha Dad is sharing his six favorites with a new edition of Six Cents.

Nerds United 339: Exercise and Aquaman

This week on Nerds United, the guys face the stunning realization that Greg is out of shape. Mike is a stud who goes to the gym but also likes food. Greg likes food and doesn’t go to the gym. You see the problem.

So the guys talk a little bit about vegetables. Honestly, I think they talk more about vegetables than either of them actually eat vegetables.

So what books did the guys have the chance to read this week? And what shows have they been enjoying?

Is the ongoing Hollywood strike to blame for our lack of content? We think so.

And speaking of Hollywood, WB finally gave us a trailer for Aquaman 2. It feels like a great continuation to a movie that made over a billion dollars at the global box office…but will anyone care?

Nerds United 338: Catching Up and Marvel/DC Hero Blind Rankings

Well, Nerds United is back after a few weeks. We’ll call it Greg’s Sabbatical.

We were quite derelict in the meantime as far as putting topics on social media. So we doubled down and did not one but TWO blind rankings. We did DC heroes and Marvel heroes.

We hope you enjoy the show and as always…

Be kind.

My 1-2-3 Cents Episode 460: Stride Top 10

It’s Labor Day, and what better way to celebrate than with a new feature on the podcast called Six Cents and looking at my favorite occupational wrestling gimmicks?  I’m throwing out my six favorites this week, from Britt Baker, DMD, to the Big Bossman.  Weigh in with your six favorites as well!

My 1-2-3 Cents Episode 458: Remembering Terry Funk and Bray Wyatt

The wrestling world is reeling after two greats died this past week. On Wednesday, WWE Hall of Famer Terry Funk died at 79. Then, just a day later, fans were rocked by the sudden death of Bray Wyatt. He was just 36 years old.

This week, Chad Smart and I pay tribute to both men and share memories of each.

My 1-2-3 Cents Episode 457: Wrestling With Addiction

Addiction is a problem that plagues the world of professional wrestling. We’ve seen lives destroyed both in and out of the ring. Recently, WWE Hall of Famer Sunny was in the news after being involved in a fatal DUI crash last year. The jokes and the memes that followed were horrible, in my opinion, and I’m ranting about it this week.

Nerds United 337: Comic Books and Comic Book Movies

Holy schnikes! This episode has Greg and Mike in the same room! Relive the glory days as the duo records from Studio A, aka Greg’s kitchen table.

This week, the guys go off the rails a little bit and discuss all sorts of odd topics. But eventually they cycle back to discussing comic books and comic book movies, superhero movie fatigue, and if the MCU is repeating mistakes made by its comic book partner.

And…if you didn’t know…we’re on TikTok. And Greg has no idea what that means.

Enjoy your week and as always…

Be kind.

My 1-2-3 Cents Episode 456: ‘Cowboy’ Bob Appreciation

‘Cowboy’ Bob Orton is a legend in pro wrestling and someone I’ve had the good fortune to meet on more than one occasion. This week, I’m just doing a shoutout to the WWE Hall of Fame and recounting my memories of Orton in and out of the ring.

Nerds United 336: Blind Rankings of DC Villains and a LOT of Comics

This week on Nerds United, Mike and Greg have some laughs by blind-ranking DC villains.

But first, Greg gives his massive list of comics he has acquired and read and Mike shares the one he finished.

A few anecdotes and recapping a trip to Meramec Caverns in Missouri and then we’re off and running!

As always, the guys remind you to be kind.

My 1-2-3 Cents Episode 455: 2 Is Greater Than 1

Tyler ‘Heath’ Hatton and I have been friends for a long time. But he’s been a pro wrestler even longer. This week on the podcast, he explains how his tryout with WWE came about so many years ago.

Nerds United 335: Building the Next Avengers

Howdy pardner!

This week on Nerds United, Mike and Greg take existing and/or announced MCU characters and draft their own Avengers teams.

Are there any surprises along the way? You betcha!

Also the guys are pretty pumped about the second season of Loki. And the guys had a lot of really nice things to say about Twisted Metal, available in its entirety on Peacock!

My 1-2-3 Cents Episode 454: IC Title History

The Intercontinental Championship has a long and rich history in WWE. Very soon, that history could be rewritten as current IC Champion Gunther is on the verge of breaking the Honky Tonk Man’s record as the longest-reigning champ. It’s a record that was set 35 years ago. This week, I discuss the possibility of that happening and why I don’t think that’s a good idea.

Nerds United 334: Concerts!

This week on Nerds United, the guys review what they’ve watched, from The Flash (SPOILERS) to Transformers: Rise of the Beasts to some shows, like Twisted Metal.

There are a few notes on some news tidbits. But the bulk of the episode is about concerts, including some of the musical acts we’ve seen.

At the end of the show, the guys fantasy book their ideal concert. Hear what acts Mike and Greg would love to see in a day if they were able, if things like money and death were no object.

My 1-2-3 Cents Episode 453: Ask My 1-2-3 Cents

There was no shortage of great questions for this week’s Ask My 1-2-3 Cents. From my thoughts on AEW in Chicago to manager Harvey Wippleman’s impact, I had a lot of fun on this week’s show. Thank you to everyone who asked a question.

Nerds United 333: Ranking the Mission Impossible Movies

This week on Nerds United, Mike and Greg rank the six Mission Impossible movies that have been out for more than a week (no Dead Reckoning Vol. 1). But before that, the guys go on a trip through what they have watched and read. There’s talk about what heaven may be like, though no one knows for sure.

There’s news about the Hollywood strike and Netflix cancelling the planned live-action He-Man project, into which they had already sunk $30,000,000. And the wait for more Futurama is just about over as new episodes hit Hulu on Monday.

But at the end, Tom Talk takes over as the guys rank the first six Mission Impossible movies. It’s almost an impossible task.

My 1-2-3 Cents Episode 452: Wrestling Under the Influence

It’s National Ice Cream Day, and we’re celebrating with Wrestling Under the Influence. The beer of choice is Ice Cream Daze Mint Chocolate Chip Stout by Main and Mill Brewing, and a chat about WWF Ice Cream Bars.

My 1-2-3 Cents Episode 451: Christmas In July

It’s Christmas in July, and the My 1-2-3 Cents Wrestling Figure Drive is starting early this year. There is a collection bin at Castle Perilous in Carbondale, Illinois. You can also purchase wrestling action figures and ship them to me (ask me for my address) or Venmo me, and I’ll do some shopping on your behalf.

I started this collection drive in 2018 thanks to the Major Wrestling Figure Podcast. As a result, we’ve collected hundreds of toys (I didn’t keep a good record). In memory of my mom, who died last month, I hope to collect 300 action figures this year, a record for this effort.

By the way, next week is #AskMy123Cents, so send me your questions today!

Nerds United 332: Mike Went to El Paso but Didn’t Listen to the Song

This week on Nerds United, Mike regales us with tales of his recent trip to El Paso, Texas, and how you definitely do not want to have to drive there if you can avoid it.

What have the guys read or watched in the past week? And what headlines made the cut to discuss?

As always…be kind.

My 1-2-3 Cents Episode 450: Patriotism in Pro Wrestling

Patriotism has been a staple in pro wrestling for many years. This week, Chad Smart and I talk more about this and remember the life and times of one of wrestling’s biggest patriots, the Iron Sheik.

Nerds United 331: Let’s Reboot the CW-Verse

It’s not even cold yet, but this week, Greg and Mike are picking some characters that, if they were given control of CW, they’d use to rebuild the CW-Verse.

Meanwhile, it was announced this week that James Gunn has his Superman and Lois Lane. And Mike may not be a professional wrestler, but he could pass for one. What would a good ring name be for Mike?

My 1-2-3 Cents Episode 449: Tag Team Wrestling

I love tag team wrestling. Back in the 80s, we were lucky to have so many amazing teams. Even today, there’s a resurgence of tag teams. So, after finding a meme, I got inspired to do an episode on tag team wrestling, with listeners having me choose between two teams.

Nerds United 330: Greg and Mike, Back Again

  • Shows/Movies we watched
    • Spider-Man – Across the Universe
    • The Flash
    • Secret Invasion
    • The Bear
    • Smallville (again)

    • Batman: Damned
    • Grim
    • Hellblazer

Plus, lots of headlines we’ve missed over the weeks. They may not all be current, but it’s good to recap what we missed.

And as a bonus, we did it all in longform video mode, so check it out on YouTube.

And as always…be kind.

Nerds United 329: Lost Realms with Joe Dodd and Justin Holman

This week on Nerds United, Greg sits down with a couple of past guests who are also really good friends, Joe Dodd and Justin Holman. These two creators have gone rogue and are working on what they call the next evolution of comic books, a CYOA of sorts in the digital space known as Discord, where they work in tandem with an online community to build Lost Realms, a fantasy story with dragons, elves, and purple lady trolls. The community has a lot of input on the story as Joe will sit and sketch their ideas. Justin then takes the work and inks it.

Greg learns about web3, Discord, and other 21st Century terminology. Hear about how two guys with plenty of bona fides (#Marvel, #DC, #Hasbro) are betting on themselves in this endeavor, while Justin is also the lead writer for Dimensionals.

Nerds United 328: Take Us Out to the Ball Game Sports Movie

This time around on Nerds United, Mike and Greg take a look at some memorable moments in sports movies.

Before we do, we want to remind you to head over to www.zoop.gg/c/fulltilt and support our friend Jason Copland and his book Full Tilt. You have just a few days left to support that campaign.

Nerds United 327: Jason Copland and Full Tilt

It’s time for a new episode, a new issue, as it were. It’s Wednesday, recognized as New Comic Book Day in most parts of the world. So why not spend this episode talking about a new comic book from an old friend.

Jason Copland is back on the show. You may remember him from Episode 83 where he talked about Kill All Monsters. But this time around, we’re talking about the project that Jason spent the last five years of his life building. He took a chance, bet on himself, and created Full Tilt.

In this episode, we’ll discuss Full Tilt, from its inception to its story. It’s a mob noir set in the 23rd century, and while it will have familiar elements, Jason says this story is really about loyalty and love.

Check out the episode, and be sure to check out the crowd-funding campaign.

https://zoop.gg/c/fulltilt

Jason’s less than $1,000.00 away from another stretch goal.

My 1-2-3 Cents Episode 445: Wrestling Under the Influence

At one time, the bear hug was a great submission move used in professional wrestling. Today, I look at the hold and pair it up with a beer called Beer Hug by Goose Island Brewing. What are your thoughts on this seemingly forgotten hold?

Since last week’s recording, Greg made it to Free Comic Book Day and shares his haul with Mike. Also, we have a mini-celebration for Jim Lee’s promotion at DC Comics.

Enjoy, and as always, Be Kind.

My 1-2-3 Cents Episode 442: Wrestling With Royalty

Over the weekend, the world watched as King Charles was officially coronated. That move got me thinking about all the kings who have come through the world of professional wrestling. I talk about a few of my favorites and share a now-10-year-old interview that I did with WWE Hall of Famer Jerry ‘The King’ Lawler.

Nerds United 324: We Won’t Go on Strike

This week’s show focuses largely on the Writers Guild strike, where something like 11,000 writers have put their pencils down in hopes of restructuring their compensation in regards to streaming content as well as making sure studios don’t utilize artificial intelligence for writing shows and movies.

But the strike has halted some shows, like Blade and interrupted shooting on other believed Marvel projects. However some are moving forward as scheduled, including Deadpool 3, LOTR: The Rings of Power, and Thunderbolts.

Meanwhile, there are rumors to who would play Reed Richards and Sue Storm in the upcoming Fantastic Four movie. And the guys take a shot at who should play Silver Surfer if that character is in the movie.

Mike also saw Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 and gave a few thoughts on it that are completely spoiler-free. Seriously.

As always, be kind.

My 1-2-3 Cents Episode 441: Confessions of a FORMER Ring Announcer

I’ve talked about it before, but now it’s official, I am no longer a part of Stride Pro Wrestling. But please, put down the pitchforks and torches, and don’t go after Sam Hunter. This was a decision I made a while ago, and it’s now playing out for wrestling fans to see. I go into greater detail in this week’s episode.

Nerds United 323: From Sweet Tooth to Sweet Tooth

And a whole lot in between.

This week, the guys reconvene after Greg was out of town last week. Hear about that hilarious tale of misfortune and woe. Greg hasn’t been able to read too much this past week, but Mike has two books going.

Meanwhile, the guys enjoyed various shows and movies, from Mike watching an Academy Award-winning film to Greg sitting through Ryan Reynold’s not least-favorite movie.

Also, Ted Lasso had one of its best episodes of the season this past week, Greg is watching Star Wars Rebels and has finally got to the point where they’ve brought in Admiral Thrawn. Mike was about five episodes in to season two of Sweet Tooth and the guys are pretty pumped for The Flash.

Enjoy and Be Kind.

My 1-2-3 Cents Episode 440: Wrestling Under the Influence

Nerds United 322: Recorded Late on a Saturday Night

We had some severe weather in the area Saturday evening and it wreaked havoc on Greg’s laptop, so we got started a little later than we had hoped.

What that means for you is that we pared the episode down a little bit and brought you only the essential news. That is, of course, after updates on what we read and watched this week.

Hear about what Star Wars is doing, as well as Deadpool 3, Harry Potter, and The Big Bang Theory. And we briefly discuss the trailer for Marvels.

My 1-2-3 Cents Episode 438: Going Viral

Perhaps the title of this week’s show is a bit cocky, but it has been an insane week regarding my story about getting kicked out of WrestleMania. And yes, I was kicked out. But there’s more to the story; I share that and all the media attention my TikTok has received. This should be the saga’s final chapter, much to the delight of most people who know me.

Nerds United 321: Let’s All Go to the Movies

This week on Nerds United:

Well, it was a week movie and series trailers. The guys will talk about (in no particular order because I can’t remember the order in which we discussed them):

  • Ahsoka
  • Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse
  • Secret Invasion
  • Blue Beetle
  • Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny
  • Barbie

Also, more Star Wars is headed our way. Greg took a trip to the movie theater with 40% of the rest of his family. Both guys got some comics and read some comics.

And next week…Josh Brolin!

Well, we’ll discuss Josh Brolin’s recent interview comments about Jonah Hex. He didn’t enjoy the experience, but Greg dug the movie.

As always…

Be kind.

My 1-2-3 Cents Episode 437: WrestleMania Recap

WrestleMania 39 is in the books, and what a great weekend it was. Chad Smart and I attended both nights, marking our 10th trip to this iconic event. We share our thoughts on the weekend, including my first trip to Wrestling Pro Wrestling.

Nerds United 320: Roadtrips and Reading Comics

This week on Nerds United, Mike and Greg are back at it after Greg was on vacation last week. Hear about how the trip almost ended in disaster. Also, Mike is getting a promotion. Not from Co-Host of the Year but in hos actual place of employment. Also – how does one improve on Co-Host of the Year?

The guys read some comics and had a lot of good things to say. Hear about Suicide Squad, The Vision, and some X-Men.

Meanwhile, there have been some good shows on that the guys have enjoyed and they try to share that information with you.

It was storming the night the duo recorded, but the plan is to get together for a show in the not-too-distant future.

In the meantime, be kind.

My 1-2-3 Cents Episode 436: WrestleMania IV Recall

It’s hard to believe, but 35 years ago today, WrestleMania IV went down. This show, panned by many, is unique. It’s the first WrestleMania to feature a tournament. It’s the first Mania that Hulk Hogan didn’t wrestle in the main event and was the first Mania for many Superstars, including Ted DiBiase, Rick Rude, and The Ultimate Warrior.

This week on the podcast, I stroll down memory lane with my take on WrestleMania IV and a look ahead to this year’s WrestleMania, which is just a few days away.

Nerds United 319: Saturday Morning Cartoons All Grown Up

This week on Nerds United, the guys will cap a show discussing the new Bedrock series announced starring Elizabeth Banks and Stephen Root. It will follow a 20-something Pebbles and Bam Bam.

So Mike asked “what continuation if a classic cartoon would you like it see” and then absolutely nails some pitches (take note, Hollywood).

The guys also talk about Lord of the Rings, Ben Affleck, Sweet Tooth, and NEW COMICS!

We’ll see you in two weeks.

Be kind.

My 1-2-3 Cents Episode 434: Ask My 1-2-3 Cents

Nerds United 318: Deep Thoughts?

This week on Nerds Untied, Mike and Greg discuss everything from tassels on graphic novels to plans for Shazam! to the new Ninja Turtles trailer to home improvement and even in-show production meetings.

As always…

Be kind.

My 1-2-3 Cents Episode 433: Thank You Hatton

Tyler ‘Heath’ Hatton and I have been friends for over a decade. We’ve worked together in Stride Pro Wrestling for the past seven years. It’s a company Tyler created in early 2016. He is moving on, and we will discuss his decision on this week’s podcast.

To say I’m grateful to Tyler is an understatement. I thank him and his family for all they’ve given to wrestling fans and wrestlers here in southern Illinois.

Nerds United 317: Perception in Casting Beloved Characters

This week on Nerds United, Greg and Mike discuss some comics they’ve acquired and read (or in Greg’s case, re-read) as of late. The conversation meanders a bit as we discuss some home improvement and family topics.

With a new Hellboy in the works, the gents discuss Mike Mignola’s creation, past, present, and future. And Disney put out a few trailers for upcoming movies that are of low to moderate interest to us but probably higher interest to others.

And Greg poses a theory about casting characters in movies and how the fans react. It’s topical since a new Indiana Jones movie is in the can but Harrison Ford can’t play the character forever (we’re surprised he’s still playing the character now).

We hope you enjoy the show, and if you do, take a minute to rate and review it on your favorite podcast app. And we’d really like it if you share it with other nerds.

And as always…be kind.

My 1-2-3 Cents Episode 432: Rhodes To WrestleMania

Cody Rhodes has punched his ticket to WrestleMania and will face Roman Reigns for the Undisputed Universal Championship. This week, Chad Smart joins me to discuss the ‘Rhodes to WrestleMania’ and the build-up of the American Nightmare since returning to WWE a year ago.

Nerds United 316: A Little Bit of Everything

This week on the show, Greg and Mike discuss their recent comic book acquisitions, from a few familiar titles to some new books (Dawn of DC’s Superman #1 and Masters of the Universe Masterverse #1). Also discussed, some quality television in a variety of streaming services, shows that are new and shows that have a few years (Shrinking on Apple TV+ the former and Superstore on Hulu the latter).

And lastly, Greg took advantage of an open Friday afternoon and went to see Ant-Man and Wasp: Quantumania, so there are SPOILERS!

We hope you enjoy this show and if you do, please tell other people about us.

And as we remind you each and every week…Be kind.

 

My 1-2-3 Cents Episode 431: Hail To The Chief

It’s Presidents Day, and what better way to celebrate than with a look at authority figures in pro wrestling? From Jack Tunney to Adam Pearce, plenty of men and women have been running the show at various times. Even as I type this, I’m reminded of some names I didn’t mention on this week’s podcast; sorry about that.

Nerds United 315: Mike Saw Ant-Man, Greg Did Not

That means…NO SPOILERS! But Mike does mention the movie briefly.

Also, the guys talk about the Super Bowl, which admittedly is off-brand for this show but it did give us a few new trailers for upcoming movies. Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 and The Flash.

Mike gives us an update on the latest offering from O’Fallon Brewing Company, a chocolate covered pretzel ale that is right on the money.

 

My 1-2-3 Cents Episode 430: The Interview

Nerds United 314: It’s a Short One

This week’s show is hampered by the fact that Greg is sick and at times feels like he is near death (probably over dramatic). So we are in and out in less than 30 minutes.

Topics this week include:

  • Ant-Man and Wasp Quantumania
  • Giving up on certain comic books
  • Strays and History of the World Part II
  • The Flash

Truth be told…I (Greg) am still pretty out of it so that’s all I have to say about this episode. Enjoy it.

My 1-2-3 Cents Episode 429: The Main Event

The Main Event (1988) is one of the most incredible nights in the history of professional wrestling. I was a sophomore in high school and couldn’t wait to watch wrestling in prime time. We were getting a rematch from WrestleMania III for free. What more could a fan ask for? It turns out it was a night that set the wheels in motion for the next 14 months or more.

Nerds United 313: DCU’s Reboot Slate

This week on Nerds United, Greg and Mike get caught up on each other’s week’s and spend the first chunk of the episode talking about Colden Brewery, coming soon officially to Southern Illinois.

When we finally get into pop culture talk, we talk about shows getting new or more life on streaming services (That 90s Show, King of the Hill, Futurama).

And we received word from James Gunn and DC about the first wave of DCU projects coming to screens big and small alike. Chapter 1: Gods and Monsters.

Should be good. Should be interwoven.

Better be properly planned out.

My 1-2-3 Cents Episode 428: Royal Rumble Ramblings

Another Royal Rumble has come and gone, and I really enjoyed this year’s event. I open a can of beer called Natural Habitat to chat more about this year’s Rumble. What did you think of the show?

Nerds United 312: That Disney Show…on Drugs

This week on Nerds United, Mike and Greg discuss That 90s Show. Spoiler alert: It feels geared to a younger audience than its predecessor.

Titans and DOOM Patrol are done after their current seasons and there’s a new Shazam! trailer.

Also, Mike got three new tires, Greg needs a new wheel (knee), and the guys watched cartoons from the 1990s.

My 1-2-3 Cents Episode 427: Thunder Throwback

It’s hard to believe, but 25 years ago this week, I attended my first and only WCW Thunder event. My friend Brian was with me and was the videographer as we interviewed legends in the pro wrestling business. Bobby ‘The Brain’ Heenan, Ray Traylor, Buff Bagwell, and a young upstart Goldberg were all our guests.

The Goldberg interview is lost somewhere, somehow. However,  the other three are at the end of this week’s podcast.

Nerds United 311: Mike Declares Most Underrated Star Wars Movie

Well, we thank you for the terrific numbers last week. We’re confident it wasn’t a glitch. 1,100+. May be a new Jittery Monkey record (although Kevin did recently have RVD on episode 420).

This week on the show, Mike and Greg talk about some new streaming season announcements, like Ted Lasso, Cobra Kai, and Invincible. And the guys also share their differing opinions about the Letterkenny-verse after the announcement that Shoresy is getting a second season in 2023.

Another announcement was the third season of Mandalorian, which brought on another Star Wars discussion. And Mike made another bold statement in regards to how he views the franchise.

In an attempt to see if last week’s numbers are a technical glitch, we ask you to reach out to us on Facebook, Instagram, or Twitter (@nerdsunitedshow) or send us an email to nerdsunitedpodcast@gmail.com.

We thank you and as always, be kind.

My 1-2-3 Cents Episode 426: Wrestling Under the Influence

Crush has a unique history during his years in WWE. He may be the only Superstar to wrestle under the same name but have multiple gimmicks while doing it. So this week, I raise a glass to Crush for Wrestling Under the Influence while enjoying Candi Crushable by 18th Street Brewery. Enjoy, and let me know your favorite version of Crush in the comments!

Nerds United 310: Mike’s Star Wars Hot Takes

This week on Nerds United, Mike and Greg recap their week’s reading and viewing. For Mike, that means going back and watching (re-watching, maybe, we hope?) THE trilogy…the OG…the original Star Wars trilogy. And following that act, he got into the sequel trilogy.

Oh boy…HOT TAKES!

Now Mike is challenging you to review the Star Wars movies through a critical lens and not one that is based on nostalgia.

Okay, we also talk about the continued state of DC Studios, the #6SeasonsandaMovie that Community is headed towards, the alleged Captain Planet movie, the upcoming second and final season of Carnival Row, and the new Quantumania trailer.

We’re very interested in your Star Wars hot takes!

My 1-2-3 Cents Episode 425: Ask My 1-2-3 Cents

Nerds United 309: What’s Changing and What’s Not at DC

There’s a lot of news lately about DC Studios (my very own shorthand for Warner Brothers-Discovery’s DCU). We all know that James Gunn and Peter Safran are now in charge of the movie/television division. But some of the news and notes that came out are pretty astounding.

  • Duane Johnson
  • Ezra Miller
  • Wonder Woman
  • 2023 movies

Also, what did the guys read in the week? And how is Greg’s squats challenge going?

Lastly, there was a tragic accident last week involving Jeremy Renner and a snow plow.

All the details, and all the opinions, in the episode!

Be kind.

My 1-2-3 Cents Episode 424: 2 Is Greater Than 1

It’s a new year, and if you’re working on a new you, hopefully, Tyler ‘Heath’ Hatton and I can help. Well, Tyler can. I’m just here for the ride. We talk more about getting into better shape in 2023 on this week’s podcast.

Nerds United 308: A Happy New Year to You

The final episode of the year includes a ranking of the movies and special events we got in 2022. And we encourage you to rank them as well in the comments.

The guys made another trip to Twilight Comics (Swansea, IL) and got some good books to discuss. There was also a little bit of news, like the planned Green Lantern show on HBO Max not necessarily being shelved, as well as what a Chadwick Boseman Black Panther sequel might have looked like.

Lastly, the guys end the year by ranking the 2023 movie offerings as to which ones they are most excited to see, Immediate dissension as the guys are out of the gates on different wavelengths.

Enjoy the show. Share it with others. Resolve to tell a few people about Nerds United in the new year. Be safe, and

Be kind.

My 1-2-3 Cents Episode 423: My 1-2-3 Cents Year in Review

As 2022 comes to a close, I thought it was a good idea to reminisce about the highlights of the My 1-2-3 Cents brand and look ahead to 2023. This episode includes a big announcement about January and ways you can win prizes.

Nerds United 307: It’s Friggin’ Cold

This week on Nerds United, we start with discussion about how cold it is in the area. It topped out at a frigid 5 degrees yesterday. The Midwest was hit by a Sub-Zero blast.

Also, we happened to record on Greg’s oldest son’s seventh birthday. So the guys take a trip down memory lane to seven years back and the day the child was born.

Eventually, the guys get on with some comics they’ve been reading, including the Saga of Swamp Thing, Locke & Key, Weapon H, and Grim.

Enjoy the show. Be kind. And Merry Christmas.

My 1-2-3 Cents Episode 422: Wrestling Year in Review

There was no shortage of news to talk about in the world of wrestling in 2022. From Vince McMahon’s retirement to CM Punk’s drama with AEW to Ric Flair’s Last Match, it was a unique year, to say the least. Instead of the traditional Centy Awards, Chad Smart and I discuss some of the big headlines of 2022 and look ahead to 2023. Be sure to share your thoughts too.

Nerds United 306: We Say Farewell to Henry Cavill’s Superman

This week on Nerds United, Greg and Mike discuss the announcement (and confirmation) that Henry Cavill’s time playing Superman has come to an end. As James Gunn and Peter Safran rebuild the DCU, they are going away from the actor who started it all.

We also talk about the announced God of War series heading to Prime Video, trailers for upcoming movies Spider-Man Across the Spider-Verse and Barbie (okay, we mention Barbie, we don’t go into detail).

Greg really liked the Netflix series Wednesday and thinks you will, too.

And lastly, Christmas Movie Madness!

Enjoy, and be kind.

My 1-2-3 Cents Episode 421: 2 Is Greater Than 1

2022 was an excellent year for Stride Pro Wrestling. Tyler ‘Heath’ Hatton and I share some of our favorite memories of the year and look ahead to 2023. What were some of your favorite matches and moments from Stride? Not sure; check out our YouTube channel and get caught up!

Nerds United 305: It’s Like a Pot of Soup

Well, after a missed opportunity to get together last week, Mike and Greg are back for episode 305 of Nerds United.

On this episode, Mike shares a tale about his trip to the movie theater to see the holiday action movie Violent Night.

There’s a host of movie trailers to discuss, from Super Mario Bros. to Indiana Jones to Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3.

Also, there’s some news out of DC about James Gunn’s plans going forward, and we discuss what is true, partially true, and what’s not true.

And Greg acquired some comics since the last time we talked.

So, again…it’s a big pot of soup with a lot of different ingredients.

My 1-2-3 Cents Episode 420: It’s RVD!

It’s been a year in the making, but it’s happened; RVD is my guest for episode 420 of the My 1-2-3 Cents Podcast. I am genuinely grateful to Rob Van Dam for spending time with me on the pod to discuss his wrestling career and his work with CBD. Learn more about that on his website right here.

During our conversation, I mentioned a cheer that Chad Smart, Jeremy Conroy, and I did as the Spirit Squad during WrestleMania 22 weekend. Here’s the link, as we expressed our appreciation for RVD! Check out RVD’s YouTube channel too!

My 1-2-3 Cents Episode 419: Wrestling Under the Influence

Wrestling and beer come together again for this week’s podcast. My dad and I enjoy a brew by Center Ice Brewing called The Old Arena Lager. We pair the beer with a conversation about the times we checked out wrestling at the Arena and the Kiel Center in St. Louis. Check it out!

Nerds United 304: No Turkey Celebration This Year

This week on Nerds United, we have to forego the annual “Turkey Before Turkey” that we’ve been celebrating for several years.

The Reason?

Greg’s sick.

Not only was there no Wild Turkey, but he and his family didn’t get to go celebrate Thanksgiving.

Silver lining? He gets to go back to work tomorrow.

On this episode, the guys discuss some of the comics they read in the last week as well as what they watched (don’t sleep on Slumberland on Netflix).

Lastly, we discuss the tragic passing of Jason David Frank. This time of year, depression can really set in and your demons can creep in. Now, help is just 3 digits away. 9-8-8. Don’t hesitate. You are worth it.

Be kind. Especially to yourself.

My 1-2-3 Cents Episode 418: Movie Mania

Young Rock has quickly become one of my favorite TV shows. While I know it’s a TV show, not a movie, I’m throwing it under the Movie Mania banner… This week, Stride Pro Wrestling Heavyweight Champion Payton Ayers joins me. Payton plays D’Lo Brown on Young Rock. He shares more about his experiences on the hit show.

Follow Payton on Twitter; his handle is @Fresh_Ayers8.

Nerds United 303: The Comics Keep Us Young

Hey hey it’s new episode time. This week the guys get you caught up on the Christmas Movie Madness Tournament, talk about strong females like Emily Blunt and Stephanie Phillips, are surprised to learn that RIPD 2 is available now on Netflix, and The Santa Clauses has premiered on Disney+.

Enjoy, Happy Thanksgiving, and Be Kind.

Nerds United 302: Black Panther Wakanda Forever and Christmas Movie Tourney

This week on Nerds United, Mike and Greg give a first round update on the Christmas Movie Madness Tournament 2022. Who’s in and who’s out?

Meanwhile, we have some sad news as we discuss the passing of legendary voice actor Kevin Conroy.

And finally, Black Panther: Wakanda Forever. Admittedly, more spoilers than we’d like (Sorry BFOTS). But it’s a solid flick and a great addition to the MCU. So if you were on the fence about going to watch it, you can take our word for it – it’s worth it.

My 1-2-3 Cents Episode 417: Survivor Series Nostalgia

Survivor Series was one of my favorite wrestling events in the early days. As a teen, I loved watching the Thanksgiving night (and later Thanksgiving eve) tradition unfold. However, I don’t think everyone feels the same about the event. So this week, it’s a stroll down memory lane and sharing my love of this nostalgic event.

And since it’s episode 417, we’re just three weeks away from episode 420, and I’m still trying to convince Rob Van Dam to join me on the podcast. Please help spread the word.

Power Half Hour 82: Presidential Trivia

This is election week for the mid-terms. Lots to vote upon and much will be decided.

We don’t talk about any of that. Instead, we offer a half hour of useless presidential trivia. Oh boy…not that the presidents are useless, but that the knowledge of these facts won’t exactly get you far in life.

So enjoy.

My 1-2-3 Cents Episode 416: Return of the Wrestling Figure Drive

The My 1-2-3 Cents/Stride Pro Wrestling Action Figure Drive is back! We are entering our fifth year of collecting wrestling figures and wrestling-related toys for the Toys for Tots program. Here in southern Illinois, more than 15,000 toys were donated last year. We were able to contribute more than 250 wrestling figures to that total.

I’d love to do that again this year! Please consider donating cash to shop for figures or figures. The deadline for dropping off is at the Stride Pro Wrestling show Hostile Holiday on Saturday, Dec. 10. You can also DM me on social media to get details about shipping something.

Nerds United 301: Additions and Subtractions (Castings and Cancellations)

HEY HEY! It’s time for a new Nerds United. This week, Greg and Mike are filling you in on some comic book purchases (by Mike) and the fact that Greg hasn’t had any time to read in the last week.

So the news and discussion this week focuses on the revamped Green Lantern show headed to HBOMax sometime in the probably distant future (we’re not confident it will happen in our lifetimes) as well as Henry Cavill coming back to the DCU and Yahya being cast as Wonder Man for Marvel.

Also…Winchesters and Stargirl are axed while Sandman gets renewed at Netflix.

And as a bonus: there’s a trailer for A Christmas Story Christmas. You guessed it – the sequel to A Christmas Story. It’s a nice segway into the fact that we’re starting the Christmas Movie Madness Tournament this week (which we didn’t talk about at all on the show).

Enjoy, and be kind.

My 1-2-3 Cents Episode 415: 2 is Greater Than 1

It’s Halloween, and we’re celebrating with a look back at a few haunting matches that Tyler ‘Heath’ Hatton has had through the years. The most recent was the Casket Match against Cash at Stride Pro Wrestling’s Fall for All event. Watch it here.

Hatton also once wrestled in costume as the Big Muddy Monster at the Big Muddy Monster Brewfest. Watch that one here.

Nerds United 300: We Went LIVE!

For our very special 300th episode, we attempted to go live and got some interaction on YouTube.

We talked about comics, including what Greg purchased and what Mike read. And we talked about the Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special and Ant-Man and Wasp: Quantumania!

Some DOOM Patrol and and while we’re talking DC, we go ahead and talk about Black Adam, since we both saw it last week.

Hope you enjoy this version of the show. I think we’ll do this some more and keep working the kinks out.

Be kind.

Power Half Hour 81: Frightful

This week on the Half Hour of Power, Chad and Greg put a couple bows on some previous topics and delve a little deeper into Halloween.

Perhaps the most frightful of all scenarios is looking at those wretched gas prices these days. And Chad is trying to figure out what to eat.

That’s a real sentence. re-read that.

Elsewhere in the episode, horror movies like zombie pictures and torture porn. And we talk about a shared horror universe where all the slasher baddies come together.

My 1-2-3 Cents Episode 414: The Casket Match

Over the weekend, Heath Hatton and Cash tore it up in Stride Pro Wrestling’s first-ever casket match. To fit in with a Halloween vibe this week on the podcast, I’m providing the commentary from that historic match. I’ve never done it before, so please let me know your thoughts.

Nerds United 299 v2: THIS IS NOT EPISODE 300!

To paraphrase Dante, “we weren’t even supposed to be here this week.”

We promised our next episode would be the live extravaganza for episode 300. But there was a lot that happened in the last week so we called ab audible and therefore have for you Episode 299 v. 2.

And we’re talking comics, movies, tv, and more. Just like the intro of the show indicates.

From Locke & Key to not yet Black Adam.

Power Half Hour 80: From Plecostomus to Puppies – PETS!

This week on the Power Half Hour, Chad and Greg discuss the pets they’ve had in their lives. From Greg’s early years with a small fish tank and Chad’s husky Mandy (to whom he did NOT sing the Barry Manilow song of the same name) to rodents and eventually the dogs that Greg had as an adult that he was unable to have as a child.

That’s one hell of a run-on sentence.

Enjoy. And tell the stories of your pets as well.

My 1-2-3 Cents Episode 413: Ask My 1-2-3 Cents

Wow, it was an excellent week for asking questions, as several of you did just that. It’s Ask My 1-2-3 Cents. Questions range from my favorite Stride event to who I would put in a WWE ring from the indy scene. Thanks for listening!

Nerds United 299: It was VERY Late

This week on Nerds United, Mike regales Greg with the spoils of his most recent trip to Twilight Comics (Swansea, IL). Saga, Justice League Dark, and yes, BFotS Josh, some Locke & Key.

Now, not much to discuss this week – or at least, we didn’t discuss much this week.

Marvel pushed back some MCU movies, meaning we have to wait until 2026 for Secret Wars. Think about that. I have to live three and a half years to see Secret Wars. I’m not sure I can do it.

Also – Werewolf by (Mid)Night, She-Hulk, and a taste of LOTR Rings of Power.

And Josh, if you’re reading this…check your mail.

Power Half Hour 79: Rambleween

This episode is titled “Rambleween,” meaning I shouldn’t give Chad that much control in naming these episodes.

In this newest installment, the guys discuss costumes and cosplay. What are their respective dream cosplay? Would they even be able to be in good enough shape to fit into their cosplays if they created them?

We also wrap up our last conversation about football and fandom. And since it’s the Halloween season, we throw some monsters, I mean Munsters, your way.

My 1-2-3 Cents Episode 412: The Interview

Stride Pro Wrestling has a new heavyweight champion named Payton Ayers. Ayers graduated from the Stride Pro Wrestling Training School and recently won the gold from Dexter at ‘Fright Night.’ His first defense is coming up on Oct. 22 at Fall for All in Pinckneyville.

Nerds United 298: Upcoming Movies and “Get to Know Greg”

You read that right. In this episode, Mike grills Greg with some questions he pulled from late night television. So over eight and a half years in to this podcast, you finally get to know Greg just a little bit.

Also, and more importantly, Greg made a trip to Twilight Comics (Swansea, IL) this week and shares his acquisitions. Plus, we were graced with some new movie trailers this week, including our first look at (and listen to) The Super Mario Bros. Movie, a badass Santa picture called Violent Night, and Black Panther: Wakanda Forever.

Plus, Greg has some thoughts on the latest She-Hulk episode, and we parlay that into a little Daredevil talk.

Episode 300 is nearing. We are kicking around doing a live show. If so – be ready and bring questions.

And be kind.

My 1-2-3 Cents Episode 411: That’s Gotta Be Kane!

Hellfire and brimstones, it’s been 25 years since Kane made his WWE debut. This week, Greg Mehocko and Chad Smart from the Power Half Hour joined me to discuss that night in St. Louis. The three of us were there for this show (In Your House: Badd Blood).

In this episode, we discuss Kane and his impact, along with the first Hell in a Cell match and the untimely passing of the legendary Brian Pillman.

Nerds United 297: Deadpool’s Bringing a Friend

And it’s not Rob McElhenny.

This week’s podcast covers a wide range of topics from The Last of Us (not to be confused with This Is Us) to Hugh Jackman donning the claws for another go-round with his rival/buddy Ryan Reynolds.

Greg’s in Minnesota this week so we weren’t even sure there would be a show. But we’re happy to be able to bring you the show on time as planned.

Building an empire one podcast at a time.
