Holy shit..... Johnny shares his experience of being a juror on a gruesome double homicide case in Brooklyn. This is an absolutely riveting story recorded without Nicky who is vacationing in Japan.

Also featuring the beautifully haunting song "Theme from Mahogany (Do You Know)" by the great Diana Ross.

Nick's daughter, 17 year old Serafina Codignotto is our special guest this week. We talk about animals, their upcoming trip to Japan, art, the Seaford-Oyster Bay Expressway and the unbuilt Oyster Bay - Rye bridge (http://www.nycroads.com/crossings/oysterbay-rye/), summer jobs, and lots of other stuff.

This is what Serafina is into these days:

Shows: “Nailed it!” and "BoJack Horseman", both on Netflix 

Music: Nico Collins

Books: They Both Die at the End, Keeper of the Lost Cities

On today's fantastic show, we're talking to Michi Hütt, our first umlaut guest. A native of Costa Rica, she shares the secrets of expertly putting elastic on swimwear butts, comparing the vibes of LA and SF, and traveling tips for keeping your dog relaxed on pills.

Plus Tony shares his ridiculous Hawaii trip add-on and Nick complains about his pool cover.

In this episode of The Intellectuals, Johnny joins us to dive into the first eight chapters of the massive historical masterpiece "The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich" by William Shirer. We discuss the book's significance in understanding the events leading up to World War II and the rise of Nazi Germany. And lots of Hitler.

But the fun doesn't stop there. Inspired by ⁠this ridiculous clip of John Ritter⁠ being extra ridiculous, we wrap up with Three's Company trivia, testing our knowledge of the beloved '70s sitcom, and see just how easily ChatGPT bullshits its way into our impending apocalypse.

With a blend of history, technology, and pop culture, this episode of The Intellectuals offers a little something for everyone. But quite frankly, it's not for everyone.

Hey hey everybody we're back with brilliant wiseass designer Josh On. New Zealand's finest export since Peter Jackson, we talk about all things Marxism, how to legally change your name just for funsies, a lightweight history lesson of the Russian Revolution, and why GoDaddy is garbage. Explore the mind of Josh by visiting his interactive web app They Rule .

Hello listener! After a 6 month break, we are back with a fantastic episode.  Daniel is a programmer that used to work with Nick. We share some terrible stories about frat life, boondoggling & working around the world, and our first jobs. Oh, and Nick and I decide that we are going to Chicago this summer for shits and giggles.

Nicky's better half Lisa joins us on this fantastic episode. We talk about her Korean-in-a-Norwegian-family upbringing, how Nicky won her love then lost her love then got it back again, how to handle multiple marriage proposals, and how her clients break down into tears of joy after her wondrous organizational services.  

BONUS: clips from the lost episode 37 where Johnny talks about drinking, his dog, and D-Day.

Nick and Tony come back from a 6 month hiatus to talk about season two, their epic trip to LA, "The Acting Bug" (Curb Your Enthusiasm meets Once Upon a Time in Hollywood meets Entourage meets The Office), and what the hell has been going on for the last half a year.
