Hot takes from two broke assholes by the names of Najee and Justin Time on everything that’s going on. You want to hear conversations about hip hop? It’s here. How about politics? We attempt it. More into the spiritual awakening you get from psychadelics? Cool. What I’m trying to say is everything y…
(Video Version on YouTube)Baltimore comedian Matt Pennington joins If This Doesn't Work… for a chaotic, hilarious episode. We dive into everything from road rage stories, political takes, and edgy comedy to wild hookup disasters, improv horror stories, and what it's like trying to break into stand-up while staying authentic.This one's packed with unfiltered laughs, hot takes, and brutally honest comedy talk | exactly what you'd expect from our corner of the internet.
This week on If This Doesn't Work..., comedian Mo Noor joins us for a chaotic, hilarious, and unexpectedly deep ride. We cover everything from eye contact in Ireland and dog attacks in Bangladesh to OnlyFans economics, tea-spilling apps, and giant pigeons. Justin opens up about night terrors, relapse dreams, and finding confidence through comedy and deadlifts, while keeping it funny with riffs on monks, safe spaces, spoon theory, and the economics of loving 80 tiny humans. We also spotlight Baltimore's local comedy scene, Mo's micro-podcast Bits Bits Bits, and the art of being radically honest on and off stage. If you came for bits, existential spirals, and wild tangents, you'll leave with all three.Follow Mo:

We dive deep into the absurd, the awkward, and the downright unbelievable, all while laughing the entire way.In this episode:The near-fatal dog attack that changed Maryland law.Touring with Blackbear & his viral music journey.Comedy competitions & getting “passed” at The Port Comedy Club.His most awkward stage moment ever.Party house chaos, wild roommates, and drinking days.Hecklers, walkouts, and surviving cancel culture in comedy.Alien ambassador debates, pit bull myths, and Baby Hitler hypotheticals.Whether you're into stand-up, crazy life stories, or just need two hours of pure ridiculous entertainment, this episode delivers.Follow Dom:
Mike Adcock joins us for a brutally honest, weirdly therapeutic, and unhinged conversation about what it's like dating in 2025 when everyone's anxious, performative, and trying not to get posted in “Are We Dating The Same Guy?”We talk about:Getting caught kissing the wrong girl on the Orioles jumbotronWhy men are terrified of monogamy and non-monogamyWild trust tests people actually run on their partnersDennis Rodman's most painful injury (and yes, it's NSFW)The chaos of dating app bios, thirst traps, and insecure dress codesSocial media validation, fake authenticity, and emotional exhaustionAnd how to stay human through all of itThis episode is part comedy, part chaos, part accidental group therapy.Mike Adcock:Insta - https://www.instagram.com/thereal_madcock/MD Local Comedy Event featuring Mike Sept. 19, 2025https://www.eventbrite.com/e/nbd-productions-presents-heavy-laughs-at-heavy-seas-tickets-1445347436089?utm-campaign=social&utm-content=attendeeshare&utm-medium=discovery&utm-term=listing&utm-source=cp&aff=ebdsshcopyurl
This week on If This Doesn't Work… we welcome comedian Najee Thrash for one of our wildest, funniest conversations yet.From jaw‑dropping stories about penis implants with actual pumps (yes, really) to unfiltered takes on homophobia in music, dating, money, junkie interviews in Baltimore, and even why the WNBA pay debate has the internet in shambles — nothing was off limits.We also dive into:✅ Struggles with masculinity and societal norms✅ Behind‑the‑scenes stories from comedy and podcasting✅ Money, crypto, and “money as energy”✅ Baltimore street culture, wild nicknames, and true‑life chaos✅ Why Shark Week might be overrated…and so much more.
Ever talked to an AI that flirts with you?In this episode of If This Doesn't Work…, we go completely off the rails. We start by reading hilarious (and brutal) comments from our viral 607 Unc episode, dive into a deep rant about pet ownership, trauma, and parenting styles… and then end up having a wild, slightly disturbing conversation with Elon Musk's Grok AI avatar.The AI unexpectedly calls us “babe,” starts whispering, and even tells us stories—until we try to push its limits with ridiculous prompts. It's funny, weird, and kind of terrifying for the future.
Baltimore comedian Umar Khan joins us for a raw and hilarious breakdown of comedy, aging, marriage, and why he never chased the Hollywood dream.We talk about bombing on stage, green room gossip with Tim Dillon and Mark Normand, being too old to party, and the strange joy of staying local.From weed paranoia and Facebook fights to fighting waves of 10-year-olds and whether comedy is even worth it anymore, this episode is equal parts stand-up wisdom and existential dread.
In this episode of If This Doesn't Work…, we sit down with the one and only 607 Unc - and nothing is off limits.From letting his son sign a $2.3 million contract, to surviving prison, decoding the simulation, questioning history, and diving into vibrational energy, Unc delivers a raw and ruthless take on life, power, addiction, and what it means to really wake up.This episode blends dark humor, hard truth, and metaphysical chaos — exactly how we like it.
Liver King is out here challenging Joe Rogan to a fight while I'm out here getting catfished by someone who said they “love hiking and long walks on the beach.”This episode of If This Doesn't Work... is full of emotional damage, meat-based rage, and online dating regret.
Published author Aly Anders joins us to talk about writing in the age of AI, getting published, and her newest book The Writing in the Walls. We dive into her journey as a Maryland-based writer, how AI tools are reshaping creativity, and sprinkle in our usual dose of dark humor.
