Mmmmm donuts. It’s not just Homer Simpson who loves those doughy, sugary O’s - it’s just about fuckin’ everyone. And if you don’t, you’re a monster. In this episode, we cover all the age-old donut-related questions. What is the best donut? Is there such a thing as a bad donut? How good are Krispy Kreme donuts, really? And why do so many people (including Rodney) trash Dunkin Donuts? Strap in, folks - this is a long one (that’s what she said).

Snow. You can put it in a cone and eat it, roll it in a ball and throw it at your brother, or lay in it and make supernal beings with your arms and legs. It looks pretty when it’s falling from the sky, but it is a danger to drivers and ambulatory grandmas everywhere. Kids go bananas for it, adults declare armageddon when large quantities of it fall, and Christmas is cancelled when there’s none of it. Why does the white and fluffy stuff have such a profound impact on our lives? What is the proper response to a forecasted snowstorm? And how stupid do you have to be to throw snowballs from inside a moving vehicle at cars coming the other way? We answer these questions and more on this week’s edition of NOL.

In today's episode we risk it all to talk about the Illuminati, a purported secret society that controls the world on puppet strings. We talk about whether we actually believe there is a society that exists and how believable with think it even could be for them to control the world. We also try and wrap our heads around the connection to satanism and celebrities...it's an episode we are sure you will agree is severely lacking in any research or substance.

We apologize to listeners in advance.

His is a story of an unexpected and fascinating rise to the top. A small-town boy from the western coast of this great nation, he travelled east to a frozen wasteland called Michigan to become a man. But it was not until he reached the land in which our ancestors first settled that he was anointed by the gods as heir to the Pigskin Kingdom. Sixteen years later, an historic career having been achieved, he has taken his rightful place upon the throne. His name strikes fear into his enemies and puts words of petty complaint into the mouths of those too prideful to accept his superiority. To know him is to know greatness. This man is Tom Brady.

We don’t want to offend anyone, but if your hero isn’t Tom Brady, then your hero is dumb and so are you. In this episode, we will talk about why.

Have you ever done something insanely unforgettable on New Year’s Eve? Neither have we. Do you make New Year’s resolutions that you never follow through on? Same here. Do you think New Year’s Eve is even that big of a deal? Now that’s a question for the ages.

In this episode, we discuss our yearly calendar-change rituals, the best beverages to enjoy on the eve of fresh starts, and the pros and cons of standing in freezing Time Square for ten hours to watch a freaking ball drop (and get to see Mariah Carey have a public breakdown, if you’re lucky). Or we might just complain about how old we’re getting. Happy New Year!

There is a quote that says "Poor planning on your part does not necessitate an emergency on mine." In this episode, however, poor planning on Rodney's part does necessitate an emergency on account of show.

​Initially this episode was supposed to be about Christmas...or spanking...until Rodney realized he had just had a birthday and wanted to ask the question of whether or not people are taking birthdays more seriously than they should.

Don't you love it when Rodney waits weeks to post an episode so you can relive Thanksgiving just days before Christmas? Well, you're welcome.

Join us as we talk about our favorite foods and traditions on Thanksgiving.

This week we publish an episode where we talk about all the benefits and perils of Airbnb. It was an episode we recorded all at the same location...but there was a TV on in the background with the NFL on it, so we stayed less on track than usual.

In this spoooky episode, we talk all things Halloween. Beginning with the "Bargument" about how old is too old to go Trick or Treating? Don't forget to vote, we know you really want to: nolpodcast.com.

We then quickly transition to talking about all of the things that make Halloween great. Or awful. Scaring people (and how Tyler likes to scare children), costumes (and why are women's costumes always provocative?), how morbid is too morbid for Halloween decorations, and, finally, why did everyone dress as "Stranger Things" characters this year?
