BONUS: Black Pedro & More!

February 12, 2021

Black Pedro is on fire this time, with claims of financial success and investing wisdom far beyond the age indicated by his hairline. We are still sorting out some issues in the new studio, so bear with us while we test some things out. We hope it’s worth is, as we embark on a journey to listen to some of the most insane claims of investing knowledge ever. We also check in on YouTube Donut Operator for some cop videos, and Moody shows us a cringey zoom recording of a British council meeting. …

December 30, 2020

Patrick gets an email that starts his entire day down a trail of podcasting history. Keith and the Girl, one of the first podcasts when we started back in 2005, is back at it with their old tricks. These two dopey ex-clowns never cease to amaze us with their inability to master podcasting, from the aesthetics to the technical, despite having literally written a book about it. Now they have a new scheme to raise money to hide under a bunk bed and do podcasts from their roach-infested homes. …

NLO 1331: Swabs and Slobs

July 2, 2020

It’s a tense morning here at the Onions studio, and Patrick is preparing to go for an examination that could change the course of the show forever.

The sentimentality sends Patrick down a podcasting walk to remember. …
