  • Great listen. Feels genuine!

    Listening to an episode of Jock and Nerd is like hanging out with your idiot friends and giving each other whit over everything they love. It’s timely pop-culture reviews, recommendations and rumors presented by the nerd for the jock and their puppet buddy to comment on. I can’t recommend this enough!

  • Great hang out spot for Geeks

    This is truly one of the best podcasts available! Imran’s endless energy pairs well with Anthony’s blunt “I could care less” attitude. Rugboy has the documented highest intellect of any puppet in America. Too bad puppets can’t vote!! They love and interact with listeners, have real, actually meaningful discussions on pop culture with fun guests, and are great friends to our show!

  • Great Stuff

    Exceptional podcast to listen to. I often end up falling behind on podcasts and have a backlog of shows I need to get caught up on, with one exception. The Jock and Nerd Podcast is the exception. I make sure I listen every week. These guys are great at what they do. They even have an awesome Patreon feed with extra content for only a $1 entry fee. They’ll do just about anything for a dollar.
