I came back after doing every episode. Fantastic, i hope they do Tomba

I hope I spelled that right, guys.

Listened for years now love how much you can learn

I absolutely love this show. I feel like there are plenty of nerd shows that cover the lore about these topics, but I always wonder how these pieces of media are actually created. The energy and chemistry on this show is unmatched and I’m always here for the goody bits! The two part series on the muppets has me in tears and learning about the dark past of the iron giant was simply fascinating. Just curious on how the show started… I’m guessing you guys met while exploring caves behind your house. Anywho, keep on wizin and never stop bruisin you guys!! Code name - yabbos and boner boy

I don’t know

It’s about time!!! I hated having to switch between here and Spotify to listen to Spotify exclusives. W+B were my most missed podcast here. So excited they’re back. These guys are the BEST when it comes to listening to retrospectives on classic movies, tv shows, games, and pretty much anything you can geek out on. Perfect for getting through the work day. Welcome back guys!!!!

Nerds look no further.

I binged the entire show and am up to date with the weekly release. Ive really enjoyed the topics and the chemistry of the hosts. However I’ve definitely noticed there is less of Jake’s voice in the more recent episodes. Holden seems to be over bearing and it’s unfortunately becoming a turn off for me.

This podcast is so clever. Even the episodes on topics I know nothing about are engaging and interesting.

One of the funniest shows I've ever listened to! The hosts are great and mix comedy with interesting information about the subject. I always learn something new and actually laugh out loud too. It has no business being this good. Tbh it makes me wanna act up 😩

Title says it all. Two funny dudes telling you about random stuff. What’s not to love?

Even when they cover a topic I have no interest or familiarity with, I have a good time. They do a great job of recounting the creative journey of their subjects and their banter is always hilarious. They bring the full spectrum of emotions to their episodes and just balance research and personal perspective so well.

I downloaded the itunes store app just to review this podcast. 5/5

Great podcast

This show’s got it all: - enchanting theme music - all the info you need to jump into a new nerd IP - comments on social discourse - exciting character work - explanations of anime I’m too afraid to ask about - The Gundam Episode - Insight and theorizing on the value of content Check it out, Holdenators Ho.

Make subjects I don’t care about fun too.

This podcast is basically Wikipedia and shallow anecdotes funneled through and produced by two guys who are unequally humorous (the Twins of comedy podcast duos) but both veer into cringe and shallowness far more than they don't. Speaking of cringeworthy moments, when they use terms like, "Clutch" and refer to things like a, "Flow state" just screams "Hello, fellow kids" coupled with a feigned expertise that ultimately insults the listener. I have infrequently been checking back in with this show since they began this venture, and the only thing that has changed is the audio quality and the editing kind of improved (some old episodes just cut out halfway through or are left unfinished). They still borrow the experiences of others for reference and frequently refer to Wikis and YouTube videos for their information. The recent Diablo episode really highlights a lot of what I'm complaining about. Neither of them seemed to know for certain in which game The Butcher appears, and the confessions of their personal experiences make it pretty clear that these are casual game players who only started getting more invested because of the easy-to-obtain carrot dangled by a career in content creation, where mediocrity is standard and grossly rewarded. Avoid this podcast. Go find one created by people who actually care about what they cover and have some actual authenticity. It will save you a great deal of time, and you will be rewarding more admirable efforts made in this space.

Goobers

This podcast is fun to listen to. I only seek it out when there is a specific game I want to hear about. The thing is, both of these guys smack their lips more frequently than I’ve ever heard anyone smack their lips, podcasting or in real life. When all I have is audio, the wet noise is distracting and honestly pretty gross. I think it would make for better audio all around if I wasn’t hearing your mouth noises so often. Thanks and goodnight.

Jake stepped out from behind a dumpster and stopped me before I made it to school, pantsed me, and “advised” me to give him my lunch money. Holden appeared behind him, laughing - he began chanting “keep on wizzin’, never stop bruisin’.” as I pulled my pants up and ran away sobbing and snotting. These dudes are scary. —— Total seriousness, thank you guys for changing my life for the better. I missed out on a lot of nerd culture as a kid living in a very disconnected teeny tiny farm town. Since starting the podcast (on total accident, I was looking for anything MattMcMuscles in the search and WizBru was the first result), I’ve revisited a lot of things I passed on as a youth and have fallen back in love with them. I never imagined that I would be throwing myself at image comics or Calvin and the Hobbes collections. I never thought I would spend the better part of four hours learning about Superman and craving more. I never pictured myself diving headfirst into fighting games and loving the thrill of losing every single match but improving each time. In a time of my life where I’m experiencing a very /stuck/ feeling, it’s been an immense joy to feel rushes of nostalgia, pining for media and experiences that brought me joy as a kid and young adult. There’s been many moments where I end up rushing home from work to turn on a movie or a game that I /needed/ to share with my wife and kids. I’ve been working through the pod chronologically (listening to new episodes as they come out), and according to my main podcast app I’ve given these dudes well over 6 days of my time [mainly at work, screw you bossman] - and I can’t get enough. Their patreon is absolutely worth the subscription (even though I’ve chosen to skip any news-like episode Pre-2023) and their interviews are top tier. It feels like sitting on the couch and listening to friends gush about their lives and interests. I hope for nothing but the best for the boys and their families and am thankful to have the ability to listen along.

These guys are great. Love the topics love the personality love the deep dives

Really love these guys!

I like to put peanut butter between my toes while listening to this show! 10/10! Great content guys!

This is my favorite podcast. Unlike every other nerd entertainment/history podcast, the hosts in this one are both hilarious professional comedians AND actual nerds. Check it out please they deserve more listeners.

In earnest.

This is a great podcast covering pop culture of the late twentieth and early twenty-first centuries. The hosts have great chemistry. The humor can be a bit wacky at times, but the episodes are consistently top quality. The hosts have an excellent knack for identifying what it is that make the movies, show, video games, artists, etc. that they discuss meaningful for the larger culture.

Love the guys! Super fun and informational.

I’ve been listing to wiz brew from the very first day they put out an episode and started, but recently there’s been something wrong with the feed where the more the show goes on the more the episode will skip back and by the end I just shut it off because it’s unlistenable. I can only think it’s because I skip pass the ads, but not offering a ad free version on patreon made me unsubscribe there a few days ago. I DO NOT CARE about ads. Y’all get that money, but I just wanted to pay directly to not have to listen to them and enjoy an ad free show along w the bonus episodes.

Taylor swift is the most overrated artist and it isn’t her fault but it’s the fault of her insufferable fans. She’s just a pop artist.

Jake and Holden give good insight into some of your favorite geek culture nonsense. Some of the stuff you may know already but I almost always learn something new. Holdenators HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!

Came for the geek history, stayed for the yabbos

Yabs

We love the yabbos!

I really liked the show and wanted to support their Patreon but I can’t do this anymore. It’s really difficult to listen to a show that’s supposed to celebrate pop culture and nostalgia when the hosts insist on belittling the beliefs of their subjects, and consequently their audience. It’s one thing to say that you don’t share someone’s opinions while remaining respectful towards them and another entirely to go on rants, seemingly every episode, about how ridiculous someone else’s convictions are when they don’t match their own. At best, the show is biased. At its worst, it’s bigoted and ignorant. Jake will agonize over whether or not he’s using the correct pronoun but can’t take the time to educate himself on other's religious/spiritual or political beliefs is indicative of the culture issues in current media: either check the right boxes for protection or be ridiculed for being different.

I’ve been listening to WizBru since 2018, and these two yabbos have introduced me to so much: Junji Ito, Berserk, Neon Genesis Evangelion…the list goes on! The chemistry and camaraderie between Holden and Jake is *chef’s kiss* and they each bring their own unique voice to the pod. Give it a listen!!

Great pod! Boner Boy forever

I am starting to branch out of my usual lineup and apple podcast finally got me to try out this pod! It’s such a fun vibe and it’s cool to hear an infodump style conversation on pop culture. Last podcast network truly never misses on producing great pods

Very funny, also well researched and interesting! Oh and, yabos

So much time, research, and pure authentic passion put into these episodes! Absolutely incredible show. I love listening to these gents and appreciate how broad their topics are. YABBOOOOOS!

Yabos

I love the dives into “nerd” culture with jake & holden. they get my yaboos all in a twist! they are informative and fun. my favorites are rhe dives into my childhood obsessions but they’ve gotten me into quite a few new obsessions too!

There are plenty of podcasts featuring fun facts about pop culture and media, but are they hosted by a wizard and a bruiser??? Me n my sweet yabbos doubt it. Jake and Holden are hilarious and witty, their banter is a delight, and their research is thorough. Love you guys!

I’ve been listening to Holden and Jake for years and couldn’t imagine each week without a new installment. Excellent pairing with the Page 7 podcast. I recommend the Doritos and Mountain Dew episode as perhaps not the most indicative example, but one of my favorites that I bring up constantly with friends. All hail Yabbos?

Jake and Holden make the good hahas and hehes. Listen to two bearded white men like never before, on radio. I’ve been listening for 4 years and it’s a top tier infotainment podcast about anything and everything nerd. They provide great in depth views about anything they cover and the background of it while also being able to poke fun and not take anything too seriously. Jake young is the truest treasure of the LPN network. Holden’s cool too.

Yabbos

Excellent and funny and so INFORMATIVE. Well -researched. Love hearing Holden and Jake do the GUSH about the beginning of each episode. The material they cover is expansive and I’m always pleased to see that they’re covering something like Nicholas Cage??? Delightful. Yabbos (?)

What a wonderful show. Can't wait til they cover the animated adventures of BB!

This may very well be the most important and fun podcast about nerd culture. Listen for a good time or skip for 100 months of blah luck. You’ve been warned.

The yabbos on these boys are truly amazing
