About Us

You're now listening to Distance NERDing!

You know that feeling that you get when you’re talking about the one thing you just LOVE with someone else who loves it too? The adrenaline rush of dissecting fan theories, using all the lingo, and totally just getting lost in that world? Welcome to Distance NERDing, the weekly podcast where hosts Yung Phil and JahMez5000 do just that: nerd out.

This family-friendly show is both hilarious and a little ridiculous at times, you’ll find yourself smiling from ear to ear (and probably laughing a bit too) as they talk about pop culture, movies, music, food, wrestling...whatever you’re nerding out on, they want to talk about it!

Yung Phil JahMez 5000

Phillipe, “Yung Phil,” is a man on a mission to make nerding out more inclusive. As a former podcast writer, and producer on Hardly Heroes, he started to see a hole in podcast content that needed to be “Philled.” Instead of hyper-exclusive nerd communities, Phillipe just wants to know why people love what they love, and how he can get involved in nerding out on it, too.

An Army Veteran and Voice Actor, Phillipe has been a closeted nerd since he was a child.

Now, Phillipe can be found causing a ruckus on the show, giving anyone hype, and nerding out over Batman and Deadpool. 

James, “JahMez 5000,” is many things, but he’s mostly a nerd. Always talking about nerdy things to nerdy people (he’d be great on a podcast??), James is a man bent on celebrating anything and everything that people love. Former Producer on Hardly Heros and Panelist on shows like The Average Nerd and Theme Park Pulse, James has been a nerd since he was a child. His big imagination and love of great cinema have naturally led him towards becoming a Star Wars fanatic, Funko Pops collector, and Disney/Marvel lover. On the show, James loves to cover an array of topics, but he especially loves nerding out on music, Stand-up Comedy, and of course, Star Wars. And we’re here to NERD together!  


We’re talking ANYTHING pop-culture, movies, music, food, wrestling… WHATEVER you’re NERDing out on, we want to talk about it!
