February 08, 2021 212 - Mental Sabotage
Nonsense: The Show is all about transparency so this show is a stream of thought dive into the chaotic interior of Captain Nick's thoughts right now.

Please forgive the delayed episode, brain related health issues had me in my head too much recently. We'll be back to regularly scheduled Nonsense this week.

This episode is silly, chaotic, and music heavy. I can't guarantee quality but I can guarantee honesty. I hope you enjoy it.

January 13, 2021 209 - Be Excellent To Each Other
The world is falling apart and everyone is losing their minds.

Thank god for Nonsense! This episode will give you a brief and completely Nonsense appropriate address of current events, the final installment of our Lost Treasure Series, and some assorted thoughts before closing things out with a message from the mysterious Flatfoot which fills the back half of the show out with a slightly more serious, hopefully inspirational response to his questions.

As always, thank you for tuning in to Nonsense each week. It means the world to me.

December 30, 2020 207 - Lord Captain and the Maltese Falcon
Welcome back friends and foes! It's time for another hot and silly episode of Nonsense: The Show.

Tonight, in a post-holiday, still stick haze, Captain Nick will discuss his new Lordship of a castle in the Scottish Highlands, a lost treasure connected to Ancient Rome, the Knight's Templar, and an old bit of copper, and spend a few minutes discussing goals vs resolutions with the Captain's top 3 goals for 2021.

We also continue our AFI Top 100 List with #23 - The Maltese Falcon. It's an all-time classic and one of the Captain's personal favorites. We'll go over behind the scenes stories, the making of the film, several interesting plot points, and generally gush about how awesome it is.

We'll also open the Captain's Mail Bag to share some of the wonderful messages friends and listeners have sent in. Then we'll close out with our traditional Instagram Q&A submissions.

December 25, 2020 206 - Christmas Quickie
Ahoy, howdy, Ho-ho-ho, and welcome to Episode 206 of Nonsense!

I'm unsure about this episode. Insecurities and maybe a bit of a tired mind left me questioning whether to post it. Thanks to those who encouraged me to post it anyway.

Please enjoy a quick Christmas morning episode discussing some of my Christmas thoughts, favorite holiday movies, childhood memories, and KRAMPUS!

I hope you all had a Merry Christmas and found some great memories to close out a tough year. More Nonsense to come!

AFI Movie Recommendation: The Maltese Falcon - Give it a watch before the next episode of Nonsense! I'll be giving you a review, history, and some fun facts about the film, the props, the actors, and its impact on the world of cinema and investigations.

December 23, 2020 205 - Tiffany's Tacos
Welcome to Episode 5 of Season 2 of Nonsense: The Show!

Today is another free-wheeling Brain Dump

We'll spend a little time letting our toasty host wax poetic about recent reconnections and conversations with interesting people, discuss the merits of Zorro V Batman and their separate superhero statuses, run the very first 5-Minute Challenge (Thank you Amanda for submitting Tiffany & Co!), and do the first installment of the AFI Top 100 American Films list with a quick segment on Alfred Hitchcock's Rear Window. The classic voyeuristic suspense thriller featuring Jimmy Stewart and the eternally beautiful Princess Grace Kelly.

I also do some totally unpaid advertising for Taco Bell. Because I love Taco Bell and want them to sponsor me someday. So please tell Taco Bell I love them and they should sponsor me. It'll never happen without your help. Yes....you. You're like the Obi Wan Kenobi to my Princess Lei. You're my only hope for free chalupas and Cheesy Gordita Crunches.

Thanks for listening. Send your segment, story, interview, or sponsorship ideas to me through Instagram or E-mail.
