April 14, 2021 223 - A Very Professional Dumpster Fire
What can I say about this week's episode that the title already hasn't? It's a weird week around here and this episode of Nonsense definitely reflects that.

The Count of Monte Cristo, Maine Cabin Masters, Man Vs Food, MIcronations, Margaritaville, and a missing rockstar named Joe Merchant.

Plus lots of rad music and rambling.

April 07, 2021 222 - Gentlemen and Monsters
This week's episode of Nonsense is full of Gentlemen and Monsters.
You'll hear the tale of Black Bart the Gentleman Bandit and his lifelong grudge against the Wells Fargo Company, Colonel John Singleton Mosby's guerrilla raiders and his lost confederate treasure, and one of the greatest movies ever made, a Mel Brooks classic, Young Frankenstein.

March 31, 2021 221 - El Muerto's Millions
Welcome to Episode 221 of Nonsense!

Tonight's show finds Captain Nick feeling a little bit punchy due to real world crap and so tonight we focus on myths, legends, and Papa Hemingway. You'll hear about Texas' own Headless Horseman, El Muerto. You'll get a Captain's Film Institute entry starring Richard Pryor and John Candy trying to spend $30 million dollars in a month. Tune in to hear all about Brewster's Millions and then take in the legendary tale of the most fearsome pirate known to western waters, Edward Teach - Blackbeard, and his infamous last stand at the Ocracoke Inlet.
Plus, there's some ghostly arguing, a request to contribute to my Patreon, and a special shoutout to Brittany Stevens for being the Nonsense Fan of the Week!

March 24, 2021 220 - Patreon and Genghis Khan
Epsiode 220 of Nonsense is here and its packed full of the things that make Nonsense great.

You'll hear some slightly pirated music, get a movie review of Shipwrecked - a formative piratical film for your noble host, learn the history of Genghis Khan's lost tomb, and learn about one of the most daring historical heists in the United Kingdom's storied history.

Plus, I'll tell you all about how you can support Nonsense: The Show and Captain Nick financially through Patreon.com. It's a simple and optional way to help fund Nonsense and the big, exciting things coming in 2022.
As always, thank you for giving me an hour of your week to listen to this silly show. It means a lot.

Special thanks to Nonsense's premier sponsor, Paso Wine Shine and the Tin City Distillery in Paso Robles, California. Their delicious beverages fuel the weirdness and creativity that make Nonsense happen.
Unfortunately, we just didn't have time for a story about micronations this week. Sorry Emily.
Suggestions, compliments, job offers, and more always welcome.

Welcome to a very special Austin 3:16 Day episode of Nonsense: The Show!!

Tonight Captain Nick is drinking rum and celebrating a childhood hero in Stone Cold Steve Austin.

(SPOILER: THE FREAKING QUEEN DID IT!)

March 10, 2021 218 - Screaming In The Car
Welcome back to your weekly dose of podcast audio noise!
Tonight's oddball episode of Nonsense will feature a CFI entry and one of the finest reboots of all time, 21 Jump Street. You'll hear about the secretive and unique Zoo Economy and their E-Bay for Endangered Animals. You'll also hear about pacific cargo cults and hear a reading about them from one of my favorite books of all time.

Plus there will be some pirated music and some arguments with ghosts.

March 05, 2021 217 - Late Night Nonsense
Lucky you! This is a mysterious and elusive BONUS episode of Nonsense: The Show! I mean... it'll still count as a regular episode because I've gotta get my numbers up but it's a totally free of charge, restaurant-quality extra episode.

Captain Nick had a rough day and too much to drink so he decided to jump on the microphone and have a little bit of fun. You'll hear about Genghis Khan's Lost Tomb, AP Bio, a Captain's Film Institute entry (Heavyweights), and you'll hear about a late-night $26-mistake.

Plus there's some great 90's music, some dope karaoke, and a whole bunch more. Go listen. Thanks for supporting.

March 03, 2021 216 - The Frisco File
Welcome back to Nonsense: The Show!

I think this week's episode is a pretty freaking good one. We're going to talk about Adam Savage making things, words of affirmation, Charlie Chaplin meeting some grave robbers, and the history and cultural controversy surrounding the word "Frisco" in the Bay Area. Plus some music and some ghosts talking through a soundboard. Don't miss it.

February 24, 2021 215 - Oak Island Emperor
It's Tuesday. You know what that means....
Welcome back for more Nonsense! This week's show is a bit sloppy, a lot of fun, and contains some great music and fun stories. You'll hear a viewing recommendation for BattleBots, be mystified by the tale of the Oak Island Treasure in a new installment of the Lost Treasure Series, and hear the tale of one of Captain Nick's personal heroes and kindred spirits, Emperor Joseph Norton 1, Emperor of the United States and Protector of Mexico.

If you're into bad karaoke of 90's rap classics, stay tuned after the credits for Captain Nick foolishly singing California Love.
