  • League of Justice

    We are back and, as always, we’re ready to go...

    Before getting to the much-anticipated Justice League movie, the crew talks some NFL (3:00). The NCAA basketball tournament is still going on and two members of the pod are still in love with the games (13:10). The Raptors had an interesting trade deadline and, really, an amazing ten year run that looks to be coming to end soon. (18:54). And then, at last... it was time for all things Zack Snyder’s Justice League!!  (35:35)

    (Please be warned: there are major spoilers in this podcast. So, if you have not seen the movie, you may want to skip past this part.)

    After a lengthy JL talk, the boys touch on the underwhelming Suicide Squad trailer (58:35). And. before they call it a night, the Dean wonders what Superhero/Comic Book movie you would like to see made next (67:42)?

  • Wisconsin

    We are back for another No Instructions Needed Podcast and, boy, oh boy, did we touch some on some sensitive topics...

    We start with a very serious discussion about Deshaun Watson and other athletes in similar situations (1:50). Also, by now you must have seen the new logo in our #NewProfilePic (23:00)! Then a super special guest, Danielle Brooks of the “Semi-Sport Podcast,” joined us to talk some sports, of course, along with the Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz, and then lastly to...take the quiz (25:27). The show finishes at a frantic pace, as the Big O chases a bet through the night. The Crew finishes with talks about a short Batman movie, “Batman: Dying is Easy,” Starship Troopers, and the WWE (1:01:02).

    So, get strapped in for a life in the fast lane that features no maps, no brakes, and goes full-throttle.

  • Gambling Futures

    Throw out that instruction card and get ready for an hour or so of a chaos-leveled world where you live life with no instructions.

    New week, same Big O heater. The dude is on fire with the ol’ gambling (1:30). We pivot quickly to Esport betting because Chaps loves it so much (even though it doesn't love him). Then, talks somehow turn to what scared you as kid (9:30) and did you know Tom Hardy was in Star Trek (16:00)?! Only one contestant was worthy of air time this week, but he had the boys sweating pretty good (18:50). The Dean and Chaps take the quiz and, well, it goes about as good as the contestants of episodes past. The Royal Family is in some hot water following the Megan Markle and Prince Harry interview (37:40), which leads into an open discussion on cancel culture (45:00). Also, let’s just say that Dean and the boys are excited (!!!) for Zack Snyder’s Justice League (60:00). Finally, we close out the episode with some Dwayne "the Rock" Johnson talk (74:00). 

    So, come smell what the boys got cooking for this week and indulge yourself in a world lived with no laws, no rules, and, most importantly, no instructions.

  • The Champ, The Quizmaster, The Dean

    Welcome back to the land of living life with no instructions. 

    We start this week’s episode off with an amazing story of how the Big O turned $20 into $12,000 (1:00). Have you ever had one of those weird mall experiences—where someone from the past runs into you, but you can’t quite place them? Well, Chaps just did this week and let me say... This story will crawl in your skin for weeks to come (16:00). The Dean looks like Troy Aikman and that’s all we got to say about that (21:30). Speaking of doppelgängers, Mac Miller sure looked liked a younger version of one of the crew (23:00). Walter Gretzky passed away and the boys share some thoughts (30:00). Also, if you haven’t called into the show yet to try and take our money, what are you doing? Regardless, the Quiz is back and our callers continue to not fair well at all (37:40). To close it out, we finish the episode by talking some Oculus Arena and Pat McAfee (60:04).

    Snap those VR glasses onto your forehead or pour yourself a long drink—or maybe both—and let’s get reality going and the good times flowing.

  • Netflix and Quizzes

    We’re back for another week of unscripted mayhem. So, strap in and do it with no questions asked. You know the drill.

    We begin the latest installment with a little WandaVision talk (3:00), which begs the question: What’s the best streaming service out there (6:45)? On the topic of big Netflix deals, we drunkenly move to Adam Sandler and his Uncut Gems...er, movies(13:00). Feeling the nostalgia, the crew goes all in on rock bands from the 2000s (18:00) before heading to the court and dishing some Raptors/NBA talk (25:00). Then, unfortunately, Russell Wilson hits the pod debate ‘causing some Seahawk fans to go Sleepless in Seattle(38:00). The faithful J..ay caller (yes, that’s how it’s spelled) spills his beans (45:00). Then it's time for some callers to take on the quizmaster himself and see if they can win some amazon money (49:00).

    The name says it all, folks. We don’t gotta tell you what to do, you just gotta listen and never forget... There really are No Instructions Needed.

  • Timothy Who?

    What a week it was. The travelling circus to nowhere is back and ready to get at it.

    In what could be the greatest trailer of all-time, “Mortal Combat” is here (1:00). A close second to the epic preview comes by the name of “Cruella”, offering its tale up on the old silver screen (10:00) and that parlays into some “Black Widow” talk (12:00). It’s hard to talk about Disney+ without talking about the trouble Gina Carano and Dana White find themselves in (17:30). With UFC on the mind, the boys break down some MMA legends (26:00). Then, a quick phone call from a loyal listener leads the three coyotes to talk about the twitter battle between Thor (Noah Syndergaard) and Trevor Bauer (34:00). A Seattle Blue Jays trip has the Dean and Chaps reminiscing (42:00) before another call from a listener who loves the new “Cowboys” film (50:00). Who is Timothy Olyphant? Well, the Big O has no clue (55:00). We close out the episode by have a fun discussion on the movies that have stayed with us (1:05). 

    Hopefully you’re not expecting us three to give you any instructions ‘cause, well, you know. None are needed.

  • Epic Eyebrows

    The Three Dudes are back in the saddle for another episode of No Instructions Needed.

    Instagram had a good night on Friday, so what are we doing next to go viral? (2:25) It was time to break down the best eyebrows...yes....eyebrows, as well as ears and lips. (5:30) Jack Black, for obvious reasons, comes up when discussing amazing bodies. (8:30) We then take a quick call from J.AY (a loyal listener and follower) about the Superbowl bet which leads to some NFL talk. (13:00) Switching Gladiators, we move to Russell Crowe and talk about a Hall of Fame for actors and what that would like. (21:00) After, we spar with what the best boxing/sports movie is (31:30) and naturally transition to Valentines Day: A day all about love. (41:00) Times are changing and we wish we could bring back some nostalgic places. (46:00) Then, like everyone else, we have some Brittany Spears chatter regarding her court battle and her history of being treated unfairly. (51:00) To close it out, we break down what podcast we like listening to (instructions, of course, not included). (58:00)

    So, hopefully you’re not looking for guidance or anything of the sort, ‘cause all we’d have for you is: Live, like there are No Instructions Needed.

  • Cold Calls

    Welcome to the second installment of the podcast that requires no assembly and needs no instructions!

    Allowing some of our faithful guests to opt into the show with a call and a question, we entertained several callers throughout our broadcast. The first caller hops into the discussion (3:00) before we finally get to talk about Superbowl 55 (14:30). Then we talk about what we’re all doing next and who the best commissioner is, having steered their respective league through the times of COVID (22:00). Halfway in we get to Tenet (or is it...Tenet?) and then take another call (33:00). And while on the topic of time moving backward, we move to talking about kids and their sleeping ways (36:00), which ties nicely to the familiar though unfortunate reality of losing friends to their relationships (40:00). We ask which three movies you absolutely have to watch when they’re on TV and close out the night with a Black History Month catch-up (51:00).

    So, you know the drill: Grab a speaker or some headphones, pour a long, hard drink, and remember... There are No Instructions Needed.
