This week on Friends Talking Nerdy, Professor Aubrey and Tim the Nerd dive headfirst into a trio of wildly different but equally juicy topics.
First, the dynamic duo ventures into the chaotic emotional jungle of Reddit’s Am I Overreacting? subreddit. They read and react to stories of everyday drama, wild overreactions, and moments of total self-awareness—or complete lack thereof. As always, they bring their own lived experiences, wit, and empathy to the table, offering grounded advice with a nerdy twist.
Next, Tim puts on his wrestling historian hat to tackle the big news shaking up the sports entertainment world: WWE’s exclusive new deal with ESPN. With Premium Live Events moving to ESPN’s pricey new app, Tim breaks down what this means for fans’ wallets and for WWE’s future audience engagement. Expect a mix of passion, insight, and a few wrestling puns that would make The Rock raise an eyebrow.
Finally, before heading off to Burning Man 2025, Professor Aubrey shares her excitement about the upcoming adventure. She opens up about what she’s looking forward to most—the art, the music, the community, and the delightful unpredictability of the desert.
It’s a conversation that blends empathy, pop culture critique, and unfiltered enthusiasm for life’s strange corners—exactly what you’ve come to expect from Friends Talking Nerdy.
🎧 Tune in, laugh along, and maybe question if you’re overreacting too.
