July 13, 2021 237 - Return To The Rock
Hi Mom! Love you!
Nonsense 237 is here and it might be my best episode ever. The Muse was in the house and I feel like I'm hitting my groove.
Tune in this week to hear some of the stories you missed last week in the abandoned Alcatraz Special. You'll hear a bit of history of the island of Alcatraz, you'll hear about the Anglin brothers and Frank Morris escaping from the infamous prison, and you'll hear about a Polar Bear Brawler called Bill Ayotte.
Plus, you'll get some killer tunes including our brand new segment called The Schmoop Song.
This episode is dedicated to my homie Chach and the good folks at Cal Fire. Respect and gratitude. This drink is for you.

July 07, 2021 236 - Starry-Eyed Fool
This week's episode of Nonsense: The Show was sabotaged by two incredible new developments in my life and as a result was an improvised mess full of silliness and love-sick embarrassment for your fearless host.
After three hours and well over 15 takes, Captain Nick decided to jettison his planned Alcatraz Special and improvise an episode of Nonsense for you, the loyal listeners.
You'll hear the tale of Rip Van Winkle, the legend of the Fountain of Youth, some excellent music, a YouTube recommendation for Van Neistat, and you'll hear about the new events that have turned my head into a mushy, happy mess and completely sabotaged this usually professional and highly competent entertainment operation.
I hope you enjoy this week's episode. We'll count is as a bonus since I'm so far off my game. Shout out to the beautiful individual responsible for my state of euphoric silliness. I regret nothing.
Thank you for your continued support for Nonsense: The Show. We'll return next week with our typical dose of history, mystery, music, and fun.
