Just Plain Nonsense Podcast

Hear ye, hear ye! Come one, come all to The Great Carn-Evil War! Rob and Michael are joined by Shane and Amanda as they share their incredible carnival and fair-going stories. Rob exposes the true heinousness that are the carnival scams...games, I mean games. And Michael warns of the impending Great Carn-Evil War, as they reveal who they believe will be the victors and the vanquished.

Michael and Rob explain their absence from YouTube during this last month. If you would like to donate hair or make a financial donation, head on over to the Wigs for Kids website: https://www.wigsforkids.org/

Everybody hates having to go to the hospital, especially if you have to go 3 times in one week. Well, Michael found himself at the mercy of emergency room doctors multiple times during the bloodiest week. He tells Rob and Shane about the doctor who played a game of chess for 27 minutes and the other doctor who basically gave him a lap dance. Then, we find out just how much some men can be big babies when they get sick. And, as you can see, Michael survived the bloodiest week ever.

You ever notice strange things happen that don't appear to have any cause; like, they just happen? Well, we are going to talk about several things that we have noticed, such as how Thomas Jefferson and John Adams are coincidentally linked, as well as how a man was killed with a bullet 20 years after it had been fired at him. The guys talk about the absurd reality that is the 27 club, while also revealing their Power Ranger crushes. And Michael tells a story about how he ended up in court wearing another man's pants.

Josh had so many thought-provoking questions that we had to make a part 2. He starts it off with some simple questions such as, "If you could eat in only one restaurant for the rest of your life, which restaurant would it be?" Of course they would start off talking about food. Then, Josh gets a little more serious, "If you could save only one thing from your burning house, what would it be?" And, as they always do, the guys got distracted by playing with a jar full of Orbeez, which they begin throwing at each other like a bunch of children.

Did Carole Baskin kill her husband? The Netflix phenomenon known as Tiger King (Joe Exotic) has become so big that everyone is talking about it. Rob, Michael, Hey Girl and our friend, Davee came together to discuss the events of the documentary and the fallout to come, including a prophecy that Michael is adamant will come to pass.

You ever been in trouble? Well, we have, and we're gonna tell you about it. Rob tells the story about when he, and his best friend, got kicked out of the local Wal-Mart because they were jousting in the toy aisle. You'll understand why Michael had the nickname Spiderman at one point in his life; it has something to do with the sound "Hooteyhoo". And, you'd never have guessed how Josh set his face on fire. You'll also learn that Michael was terrible to his younger sister, Ashley.

Have you ever seen a Mophinroo? What the heck is a Kangdolkey? Take a seat; we'll tell you all about it. Michael asks Gage, Josh and Rob to create an animal that is made up of 3 other animals. But, not before getting them to design a robot with any 3 traits their brains could imagine. Michael may, or may not, have devised a big-butt, coffee-pooping portable Rob-bot.

If you could have one supernatural ability, what would it be? And how would you make money with it? Josh asks Rob and Michael questions to get their noodles flowing. The guys answer questions like, "If you could eliminate any one type of insect permanently from the Earth, what would you get rid of?" and they discuss the environmental impact their answers would have. Then, they get a little deeper with questions such as, "What is the single most valuable thing you've ever learned?" Obviously they get off track with a bunch of puns, movie references and way off-topic stories that we love.

You know how they say that dogs are man's best friend? Well, dogs are awesome! And so are cats and bearded dragons. Amanda and Shane join Michael and Rob to ride this emotional roller coaster of an episode, discussing their weirdest pets, fantasy pets, the times their pets were murdered and the silly situations their pets have gotten themselves into. At one point there's talk about the desire to own a 50 pound goldfish, one of them wants to own a tiger and they all agree that they want to hang out with a sugar glider.

Gage and J-Willy join Michael and Rob in this distracted, tangential episode. Good luck following along as the guys take you on a discussion thread that follows multiple trains of thought, sometimes simultaneously. This episode takes us back to our roots where they talk randomly about everything from spending too much time on your phone after you've fallen down the "Suggested Video" rabbit hole, to keeping years worth of birthday cake in your fridge because you forgot it was there.

Hey Girl, Pedro (Mark) and Podgey (Audri) join Michael and Rob in this discussion about different forms of bullying that happen throughout your life, from being bullied at school, bullied by horrible bosses, and even bullied by those who claim to love you. Two of the people in this episode admit to having actually been bullies. Can you guess which ones?

You ever wonder if squeezing lemon juice into a cut will help it heal faster, or if microwaving a spoon will help it cut through the frozen ice cream? We have your answers. Antonio and Podgey join Rob and Michael on this episode where Rob provides some very unhelpful life hacks (just don't do them at home) and Michael provides several old wives' tales and home remedies, and asks if they are true or false. Some of them may surprise you.

Have you ever seen someone do something inconsiderate, rude or just plain silly, and you're just like, "Oh, come on!"? Well, we have, and we're gonna tell you about it. Hey Girl's sister, Lynzi flew all the way to our studio from San Diego to help us call out all of those inconsideracies...is that a word?

Life is always changing, and subsequently, so are we. We’re not the same people we were 10 years ago, 5 years ago or even an hour ago. Michael starts the episode off with a beautiful rant explaining why it’s a good idea to reflect on your life. The guys take a look back at where they came from, what they’ve learned along the way, and how they’re better for it. And they finish off the episode by plugging their umbrella company, Triple Helix. Go check it out. It’s pretty cool.

Friendship is the best, isn't it? Michael and Rob start this episode out by recounting all the dumb stuff they did when they were kids. The guys speak out against bullying, and Rob talks about how he was bullied basically his entire life. With that, they offer some encouraging words to the younger generation. And then they create a holiday to celebrate friendship.

Michael ran into some guy at a gas station who told him that an asteroid was going to crash into the Earth and kill everyone. Obviously he and Rob needed to discuss their plans for survival including their celebrity scouting parties, which Michael has dutifully named the Fantasy Spec Ops Apocalypse Team. This episode takes a sharp turn when they begin talking about, and quoting terribly, random movies. They talk about the efficacy of the D.A.R.E. program from the 80s, which leads them to the topics of drugs and the resulting divorces that ensued.

Rob goes on about the food he made for Thanksgiving. He and Michael discuss their disdain for Black Friday, and the shoppers therein. Rob explains how he utilizes Amazon Prime to procrastinate his Christmas shopping. And Michael divulges some facts about Christmas crime and his imaginative solution to eradicate this heinous delimma.

Amanda and her husband, Shane have just gotten back from their one-year wedding anniversary. They tell Rob and Michael all about the hotel that smelled as if someone had recently been murdered, the screaming lady, the squishy swimming pool and the lukewarm hot tub. Luckily, their trip took a turn for the better when they switched to a much more luxurious hotel. Throughout the podcast Michael goes on several rants about how he doesn't work for Wal-Mart. He delivers a beautiful, patriotic rant declaring that he won't sacrifice his rights for the comfort of others and how he won't have his integrity challenged at the door.

Rob and Michael were finally able to corral enough women together at the same time to produce one of their most highly anticipated episodes. Mykah, Hey Girl and Amanda give some insight into how the female mind perceives relationships. This episode begins the same way the guys did by asking, “Is love enough?” With that, their discussion spreads to their past relationships, they talk about what they look for in a guy and, more importantly, what turns them off from a guy. They tell their breakup stories and finally explain what makes a guy boyfriend material and how to avoid the dreaded friend zone. And, as it always does here on the Just Plain Nonsense Podcast, the discussion comes to rest on the topic of food.

Hey Girl and Mykah join Rob and Michael for this episode to share their experiences of being in interracial relationships. They discuss what it was like when they first introduced their ethnically diverse significant other to their parents, the differences in cultures and, of course, the varieties of food. Yum.

Jeremy Dailey joins Rob and Michael on this episode as they discuss their plans to raid Area 51. Jeremy and Michael attempt to explain to Rob their battle plans, they show him how they control their ships and they even create an adorable alien creature.

Amanda's back for this episode! We start by talking about what we've been watching, but quickly move on to looking up silly words and their weird definitions. Then, Rob wants to play a game where each person makes up a story and the other two interrupt the story with changes that the storyteller now has to incorporate into their story.

Rob and Michael talk about all the new things happening with the channel, which is a bunch of stuff. And they tell us all about their San Diego trip, which includes a detailed story about how Michael got pooped on.

Are you ready for some more rap battles from a group of white guys who have never rapped in their lives? We thought so. That’s why Rob and Michael decided to rap battle two dudes they had never met before. Michael, aka DJ Ramen, met two dudes, Hunter and Michael, aka G-shirt, precisely 24 hours before bringing them on the podcast. Rob had never met them until it was time to start the podcast. Listen in and get to know Michael 2 and Hunter as Rob and Original Michael get to know them. There’s also talk of pecans, parkour, people and pee (like urine). #alliteration

Rob tells Michael about a couple new apps he has discovered whilst sitting upon the toilet, they discuss what they did for Christmas, and Rob completely obliterates Michael’s brain with an app that prevents Michael from speaking, or even thinking, clearly.

Rob starts us off with a couple stories of how he almost died twice this week, and we learn that Michael really hates useless sayings. Amanda and Rob break Michael's brain when they give him a pop quiz of popular slang terms and acronyms.  Michael goes on several old-man-rants about how the younger generations have destroyed the meanings of words.  And, after his brain recovers, Michael misuses all of the new terms he just learned in a chaotic attempt to form one, coherent sentence. Stick around until the end of the podcast when Michael creates his own acronym.  Find out what #INFTMAAFOEIYYAAFOFITBS stands for. Finally, Michael uses mosquitoes as an analogy to describe a successful relationship.  And then they start talking about food.

The guys have returned after a 4 month hiatus, and boy have they been busy. They use this podcast to update you on what they've been up to; which includes vacationing with babies, making books with words and the good and bad versions of losing weight. Then, for some reason, Michael wants to talk about pancakes and gets discouraged when Rob and Josh continually interrupt him.

Josh Williams is back and he takes the lead on this podcast. He poses several questions, and brings up concerns that, both, men and women have in relationships: Is love is enough to hold a relationship together forever, will cheating end the relationship, why do men leave the toilet seat up, and they offer their opinions on these topics, and some possible resolutions to common relationship issues.

WARNING: CONTAINS SOME GRAPHIC SEXUAL LANGUAGE Michael has an idea for some non-lethal biological weaponry.  You would think this podcast was going to go its usual, goofy route, but it takes a serious turn when Brett brings up how everything is hypersexualized; from Instagram, to hamburger commercials, to web domain companies.  Michael explains how pornography desensitizes you, and literally destroys lives. If you feel that you are addicted to pornography, and wish to seek help, please go check out fightthenewdrug.org.  They are science-based, and are not religiously affiliated Then, we get back to the usual when Michael relives the time he threw up on a pretty ugly girl, Rob keeps yelling at Michael to get his hand out of his pants, and Brett explains his plan for meeting his daughters' first boyfriends; it's not what you think.

Michael, along with our guest, Erich, discuss many more of the conspiracy theories rampantly spreading throughout our culture. Topics include a gate made of pizza, a pancake shaped planet, the CERN Super Collider is responsible for the Mandela Effect, and how Matt Groening is supposedly a time traveler. Our number one fan, Amanda, wanted to be a part of this conspiracy theory podcast so badly, that she flew all the way to our studio to be on the show...and boy are her wings tired.

Rob and Michael square off, head to head in this epic SUPERFIGHT! a game of absurd arguments.

Josh Williams is back in the studio again to have some bro time with Rob and Michael. The guys take turns telling stories about memorable interactions they've had to endure with other members of the human race, while Rob and Josh do their best to tolerate Michael's ridiculous haircut. Michael talks about assaulting elderly women with his farts, and regales Rob and Josh with the tales of Jonesy.  Josh explains how he almost killed a man by telling him a joke.  And, Rob recounts more stories from the convenience store.

What if Rob is just a figment Michael's imagination?  What if this entire reality is just taking place inside your head? Rob and Michael discuss "What if" questions, and mind-bending realizations ranging from imagining your entire reality, to dreaming for 10,000 years every night, to sympathizing with the devil. Get ready to have your world rocked and your mind exploded a little bit.  Oh, and there's some terrible singing as well.

Brett Amaro returns to the Just Plain Nonsense studio to goof around with Michael and Rob.   After a quick run to the convenience store, they are all hyped up on sugar and caffeine.  This combination of goofy guys and sugar-laced, caffeinated beverages makes for a very nonsensical conversation comprised of awful singing, more terrible impressions, and an impromptu rap battle.

Michael tells Rob all about his vacation including the story of the time-traveling trans-gender (who, unfortunately, was not on roller skates), the Asian angel who gave Michael the courage to cross the bridge, and they discuss the necessity, or lack there of, when it comes to bear condoms.

Resident Halloween expert, Brett Amaro stops by the Just Plain Nonsense studio to tell some stories about stuff that happened to him when he was younger. They tried to keep the topic on point, but, as usual, the discussion got derailed and the guys go from talking about Halloween, to Panda Express, to Taco Bell, to pee holes.

Get your barf bags ready 'cuz we're getting nasty up in here. Rob and Michael discuss the things they find most disgusting including maggots, vomit, and ...Koala bears?  That's weird.

Rob wants to rant, and pulls Michael down the rabbit hole with him.  They both discuss what drives them nuts, they coin a new term, and come up with creative ways to annoy those who drive them nuts.

Everybody, put your pants back on. Kreepy Kyle's back again to scare them off. In this second part, Clark picks up where he left off in the last episode, and tells a couple more scary stories from his personal experiences.

Turn the lights down low, settle in, and make sure you have a clean pair of undies nearby. Clark, aka Kreepy Kyle, stops by the studio to scare our pants off with his in-depth tales regarding his 16 years of ghost hunting and spirit stalking. Don't worry though; everyone's pants stayed mostly on.

Get your tin foil hats on! They're out to get us! Michael is really into conspiracy theories, and decides to use this podcast as a platform to share his thoughts on FEMA camps, the Georgia Guidestones, and the fact that our government couldn't shoot down a "weather balloon". DISCLAIMER: All views and opinions in this podcast are those of the individual speaking.

Guest, Josh Williams, discusses the history of video games, Michael aggressively defends Pokémon Go; which, in-turn, leads to a super long discussion about Pokémon. The podcast, devolves into a discussion about wasting thousands of monies on mobile gaming; like, on your phone, and then, they start talking about Disney for some weird reason. Josh also explains how to make money by stealing intellectual property, and re-purposing it as a "different" game. DISCLAIMER: Don't do this.

"Educate me, bro!" Michael asks Rob a bunch of mind-bending, semi-ridiculous questions, and, as usual, the discussion derails into remembering things that never happened, traveling faster than the speed of light, and spaghetti cake.

Rob wants to get to know Michael better, so he asks "Questions to Ask Your Husband" which devolves into discussing their childhood celebrity crushes, which Disney princess they would choose, stories about pooping their own, or someone else's pants, and who they would prefer to not see naked. DISCLAIMER: They are not trying to hook up.

Michael wants to talk about cats. He says he has some cat facts, and decides this is a good place to discuss them. The other half of the podcast is them pretty much going on about candles and poop.

Michael checks out Rob's biceps (no homo), they attempt some pretty terrible impressions, and come up with the idea to customize ringtones on your microwave - DON'T STEAL THEIR IDEA!

Previously on Just Plain Nonsense...Nothing! This is the first one, duh! Rob and Michael get to know each other by asking a bunch of dumb questions, and telling ridiculous, potentially self-incriminating stories.
