The Eat Sleep Nerd team was at the 2026 Huntsville Comic & Pop Culture Expo this past weekend for our hometown comic con! We kick things off with our own The Office parody before we dive into a good ol' fashion conversation.

We interviewed cosplayers, vendors, and fellow nerds. We handed out tons of swag. We had a fan table! We walked a lot of steps. And we met celebrities like Christopher Lloyd (Back to the Future), Anson Mount (Star Trek Strange New Worlds), Amy Jo Johnson (Power Rangers, Flashpoint), and so many more. In this episode, we talk about our experience, lessons learned, what we look forward to next year, and more!

In this episode, the nerds have to answer questions and prompts without any preparation or research: what nerdy things changed our lives? Which fictional pet or companion would we want to have? What movies and video games deserve a sequel? What nerdy things do we wish we could experience again for the first time?

And we’re joined by special guest and host of the Huntsville Comic & Pop Culture Expo, Jeremy Long!
