The NDK Podcast

Holy Moly! What a week! Especially for Nathan!! He went to a concert movie. He went out on a Friday night to check out Billie Eilish – Hit Me Hard and Soft: The Tour Going to see a concert at the movies? Dana has never been, but her interest is peeked!

The next day as he’s going to work, he takes their old BBQ out to the road with a for sale sign on it. Thirty seconds later someone pulls right over to buy it! She needs help loading it into her SUV; weird you’d put it in the car, but whatever. Find out how an act of kindness leads to a visit to the ER. Later that night Nathan went from feeling pain, to feeling no pain at a concert that night. Apparently he was a hot commodity and everyone wanted a feel! We get all the details of a fun night out seeing Wing Night (The Band).

Sunday brought more adventures for Mother's Day. Nathan and his brothers thought they had a reservation and it was even confirmed. Well were they ever surprised when they showed up and the restaurant was closed for good. We get to hear how all that unfolded too!

Dana’s got a thing for specialized license plates. Caught one today that she thought might be Jesus but was thoroughly disappointed. She also catches up with an old friend! Laughing and reminiscing about old times… and old nicknames lol

This week in the local paper, hometown celebrities, the Falcon Brothers were featured for the up coming Slamdemonium 2, Dana’s eye was caught by the schools drama club throwing signs in their newspaper picture

Ok guys, we need to talk...This has been a blast and we are loving it but life is lifing, and lifing hard! NDK is no exception, we’ve decided to take the summer off. We are calling this, the end of season one. With summer on the horizon and work schedules picking up, plus baseball season for Dana and wrestling for Nathan. We have decided to make the tough decision to take a break for the foreseeable future. We don't know for how long or when we will be back, but the plan is to come back eventually. We hope that you have all enjoyed season one. Please keep following us and stay subscribed so that you know what's coming next as soon as we have something happen. Who knows maybe there will be some one off specials soon? Thank you all for your support and we hope to see you again down the road!

Sandro also has another podcast, it is called BS Bargain Bin. Going back to the old days of the $5 Walmart/Blockbuster movie bin. Putting your hand in and grabbing something random. How fun it is to go into a movie blind and just be taken away with the story

Lastly, Sandro opens up about his solo passion project, the Independent Wrestling Profiles. He’d always been curious about how wrestlers got their start in the business and what drew them into it. Why not go right to the source, the wrestlers themselves! He highlights him shooting his shot and asking his favorite independent wrestler to be a guest and the rest is, as they say, is history.

Random question of the episode! What X- Men would you be?

🚨ALBUM OF THE WEEK🚨

I Mother Earth - Quicksilver Meat Dream. Brian Burns is Sandro’s favorite singer, not just of I Mother Earth, but of all time! In Sandro’s opinion the album is an ‘experience’!

We have a guest this week!! Welcome to our long time listener, brother and the other half of The Falcon Brothers, Clinton!

This lone wolf starts off the show by revealing his dreams of opening a night club that’s entirely denim. The name? Club Denim! Walk with NDK as we explore the scotch guarded dreams of Club Denim.

Clinton, just like us here at NDK has the affliction of garbage blowing in his face. We’ve had a ton of rain hit our little town and blew off the downspout and flooded his basement. Another brotherly bond that is sweeping the town is the new garbage rollout. It’s been a rough few weeks and Clinton is going full Frank Costanza and has got a lot of problems with this rollout!

Speaking of garbage. Nathan was taking the garbage out at work when POP goes his knee-oh!!! He checks his knee and a giant V like dent om it, and the next day, it's GONE!

We want to say RIP to the band Boston’s lead singer Tommy DeCarlo who passed away this week on March 9, 2026. Not so fun fact, Tommy is not the only lead singer of this band to pass away on this date!

🚨ALBUM OF THE WEEK🚨

Dead Weather - Sea of Cowards. Clinton’s AOW pick as our guest!
