Everybody Was Single Until Valentine’s Day Feb 17, 2026

Show notes

The Odd Nerd Podcast is back and this episode takes a sharp left real quick.

We break down the NBA All-Star Weekend in LA — the new format, Wemby making players actually compete again, Ant Edwards’ energy shift, and why it just didn’t feel right without Steph on the floor. From Obama pulling up on All-Star Weekend to the cultural impact and the business side of what these events really do for cities, we get into why Phoenix 2027 is about to hit way different than 2009.

Then we pivot to movies — Crime 101 is fire. Chris Hemsworth, Mark Ruffalo, Halle Berry, Barry Keoghan… a gritty LA crime thriller that really delivers, and we talk about why it works without giving too much away.

And then Valentine’s Day… yeah. The wild part. Seeing people you never knew were in relationships. Seeing people you definitely didn’t expect to be in relationships. Seeing people you might’ve… crossed paths with… suddenly soft-launched and cuffed. We talk secret relationships, quiet love, social media privacy, and why Instagram still doesn’t have a relationship button.

It starts as hoops.

It turns into culture.

And then it gets wild in this damn mf episode.

Show notes

Send us Fan Mail

This first episode is pure Odd Nerd energy. Thaddeous reflects on losing 40 pounds through fasting, the way he used to eat as a kid, and how a simple Aldi run turns into a story about two brothers, cigarettes, and the creation of Trader Joe’s. He circles it all back to growth, discipline, and ends with a funny, honest take on his Oakley Meta glasses, why they’re glitching, and why they’re still the future. A conversation that feels like thinking out loud with purpose.

Trying to be a regular human is wild out here 😅 — in this episode, I talk about going to my first wedding at my big age, why I’m lowkey nervous to hit my first pumpkin patch, and how I grew up thinking it wasn’t “cool” to be into comic books, anime, or movies.

Now that I’m older, I’m leaning into all the things that actually make me me — from nerd culture to nostalgia, to figuring out what being a “regular” adult even means.

If you’ve ever felt out of place or just trying to find your lane again, this one’s for you.
