Nihilists of Apathy

The boys have been slacking. Yep. Lazy no-do-gooder's just being absolutely nihilistic. Hooray! This episode we take a look at bands who have had epic albums recorded in the middle of their career. Check out all the fun and debauchery. Or don't. Honestly, I am too exhausted to care.

Ok kids. Here it is. The next chapter in the extremely pathetic adventures of the Nihilists of Apathy Fighting Nihilism addition. Yep. It is 2021 and there is a whole lot of fighting going on. Holloway, McGregor, Spencer, etc. Sit back and roll your eyes at all the sad but true ramblings of these fight fans. Kilo for Kilo, you may hate them, but you have to admit, they are not very entertaining either. Enjoy.

Ah buckaroos, its Nihilists of Apathy time again. Yeah we’re trying to slide one by you once more. Don’t matter how you do it. They say, ‘just do it like you know it’. We’ve been down this road once or twice before:Just gettin' by on gettin' by is my stock-in-tradeLiving it day-to-dayPicking up the pieces wherever they fallJust lettin' it rollLettin' the high times carry the lowJust living my life easy come, easy goRIP Jerry Jeff Walker! A true legend of Texas Country

And here we go again. The Fellas are back to take a second swing at Rolling Stone magazine’s Top 500 Greatest Albums of All Time. And if the title didn’t give it away the Fellas had some issues with the list. D Wilde comes to life with a spirited debate over what is a ‘naked lady’ and what is an album cover. The debate over what is art will be reserved for another day.

On this episode of the pod your favorite apathetic nihilists give their initial thoughts on most preposterous list in rock, Rolling Stone magazine’s The 500 Greatest Albums of All Time. What the F@CK even defines great? Let alone who. Fear not the Fellas reflect on the process, prior versions of the list and begin by examining albums 500 - 401. Big surprise with a list of 500 albums the discussion had to be spread across several podcasts. Don’t worry the fellas don’t sacrifice quality for quantity, they have neither! Speaking of low quality don’t forget to check out the new merchandise. If your size isn’t available let the Fellas know and they’ll get right on it :)

They’re back! The Nihilists of Apathy Podcast has returned with an all-new episode! On this week’s episode of the podcast, the fellas deep dive on boxing/ MMA and share their pound for pound lists. Spoiler alert D no longer has Money Mayweather on this list. That decision will not make D healthy, wealthy or wise. Your favorite nihilists bust out the creativity and come up with new ring walk music for Roy Jones Jr and Mike Tyson in advance of their much anticipated “fight” (????) on November 28th 2020. Wow Steve way to go outside the box or ring on this topic….Roy Jones Ringwalk So sit back, crack open a cold one and enjoy the verbal diarrhea that is the show.

Lights! Cameras! & utter indifference??? What else do you expect when your two favorite nihilists take on Hollywood (& no not Florida, the Fellas aren’t allowed back after the incident). Not being content with just ruining sports and music the Fellas decided to conquer a new frontier the movies. Oh great, we get to hear about their screenplays & ideas for movies. FCUK No! Being apathetic the fellas lack the follow-through or energy to do either of those things. Rather the fellas recast two classic sports movies: Oliver Stone’s 1999 masterpiece Any Given Sunday & 1989’s Major League.

Ok listeners. You did not request this, however, we don’t care and we are doing it anyway. That is right. Our show, our rules. Honestly, we don’t even care about our own rules. Ever sang to a song in your car, room, cell, restroom and suddenly realized that the incredibly upbeat song has extremely dark subject matter and you didn’t even realize it? Nope? Oh well. We are about to ruin your favorite songs and tell it like it is. This week it is all about great songs with dark subject matter. And on that note…

Its happened again, someone left the TV on ESPN and now the Nihilist of Apathy are talking about sports. On this episode of the podcast the fellas breakdown the battle for lightweight supremacy between Vasily Lomachenko and Teofimo Lopez. The discussion pivots from future fights to past fights when the fellas provide deep insight into a fight of the year contender at 140lbs between Ivan Baranchyk and Jose Zapeda. Eight knockdowns in five rounds, now thats a fight! Finally the fellas discuss the NFL, Cam Newton and the Las Vegas Raiders! Welcome to Vegas Gruden!

Ah yes. The beautiful, majestic and amazing Fjords of the world. Mother nature takes glaciers and carves a work of art into her canvas. One can only gaze in wonder and amazement at these gorgeous…Excuse me. We are not doing fjords this week? Seriously? I worked all week on this intro and did a crap load of research for this episode. Well then you pick the theme, do the research, write the summary and record and edit the show. Better yet, go rule the world and see if I care. I am done. No more…And on that note:

The fellas are at it again. Hubris runs deep with the Nihilists of Apathy as they assume they can improve the best selling Hip-Hop album of all time, Outkast’s SpeakerBoxxx/ The Love Below. They trim the fat off this 39 track double album that has always been a bit of a riddle for fans and critics alike. Don’t get us wrong it’s not that the fellas don’t love this album they just don’t love all of it. Actually they loathe large portions of it. And just like the album itself you get two very unique lists from your favorite nihilists, The Nihilists of Apathy.

Obligations, everybody has them why would musicians be any different. Most musicians have some sorts of obligations: alimony, lawyers and other bullsh*t. But the Fellas explore a different kind of obligation, album obligations. Spite, anger and a misguided sense of right and wrong drive these albums. Some of these albums like the Strokes Comedown Machine are the ultimate example of phoning it in and doing it for the money. Really the four guys who are the sons of famous models and New York Socialites half assed it, ‘no Joe say it ain’t so.’ While others like Band Of Gypsys by Jimi Hendrix only hint at the greatness that might have been, but wasn't.

What another podcast about nothing, WHAT THE FU@K this isn’t, Seinfeld? No its your favorite nihilists back with a vengeance and ready to entertain. The fells address today’s cancel culture and the Bryan Callen situation. They also discuss fun facts about North Korea and enjoy the styling of A-Ha via a North Korean Accordion Symphony. They also talk high fashion with NoKo Jeans. Also enjoy the riveting discussion about sports movie that suck and other classic fails like Pulp Fiction, what piece of sh*ts…..

In an era where no news is good news the fellas are back to provide their uniquely constructed viewpoints on the latest in sports. From Top Rank’s bubble fights to the announcement of Jones Jr Vs Tyson your favorite Nihilists breakdown sports and of course a whole host of non-sports related topics. So sit back, open you favorite cold beverage and be prepared to be entertained

So here we are toes in the sand, a palm tree swaying in the breeze and the sun is high in the sky. The soothing sound of the waves crashing against the beach are ever present. Did the fellas take a trip to an all inclusive resort with all the new sponsor money. Not quite. Much like Wilson in Castaway they are stuck on a deserted island (or was it a red velvet cake Island) and sadly there isn’t even Tom Hanks there to keep them company. Tom could have regaled them with tales of the Da Vinci Code and other classic….Alas not to be….All the fellas have are five classic albums to keep them company. Guess what in the end Wilson’s conversational skills sucks and the fellas are sure glad to have some tunes available.As always the fellas brought their A game thanks to their new sponsor…..

The main focus is on the ESPN 30 for 30 - Lance. The nihilists give the history of Lance’s claim to fame and then of course the downfall of winning 7 Tour de France’s in a row while doping. It is a bitter pill to swallow when it comes to his Cancer foundation which has done some amazing strides in cancer research, however many cannot get over the fact that Lance lied so many times.

….and no we’re not talking about your high school prom here. We’re talking about debut albums that outshined everything else in an artist’s catalog. That’s not to say these artists didn’t have other amazing albums, but sometimes it just feels better the very first time.

The boys are back again. In this time of self distancing, the fellas decide to do a book review. Yep. No jokes. This episode they discuss the Steve Gorman auto biography of his time with the Black Crowes - Hard to Handle.

Besides selling out like only they can, the fellas break down Wilder Fury II & discuss the eventual rematch. Their in-depth boxing analysis doesn’t end with Fury vs Wilder, they also share an updated P4P Lists which include the likes of Canelo, Crawford and what??? Spoiler alert like a true nihilist (move over Uli) D has the one the only Floyd Mayweather on his p4p list. What a classic episode, its guaranteed to be enshrined in the Smithsonian.

Yep. That’s right. The Nihilists have returned. This time around they list their favorite albums of 2019. One can only pray this episode goes by really fast so we can go back to our lives half sane. Let’s see what these guys come up with.

The boys go for broke and list some of their favorite Super Groups. What is a Super Group? You will have to hunker down and listen to the episode to find out.From Cream to Pigface, they cover a lot of great collaborations. You got a favorite? You got a least favorite? Let the Nihilists know. You may just get a shout out on a future episode. Enjoy.

That is right, kids. The boys decide to trim the fat on the bloated super egocentric behemoth knows as Use Your Illusion volumes 1 and 2 by the legendary Guns N’ Roses.It’s not everyday we get a release that has so much, albeit, too much scattered over 2 CD’s, 4 LP’s, six 8 tracks, 12 reel to reels etc. The fellas decide to list their ideal version of Use Your Illusion with all lean mean cuts and no fat. Listen to all the pathetic reasons they chose the tunes to create a masterpiece. God help us all.

Welcome Fight Freaks!!! On this week’s episodes the Nihilists of Apathy give Max Kellerman and Timothy Bradley a run for their money as the fellas try their hand at live in-fight commentary during the Shakur Stevenson vs Joet Gonzalez WBO Featherweight Championship fight. Stevenson, an undefeated silver Medalist also dates Joet’s sister which adds intrigue to the fight, but not so much to the call of the fight.The WBO Featherweight title is on the live, as the respect of the Nihilists...not sure which is a bigger prize, we’ll have to ask the winner when comes in studio to discuss.SPOILER….these guys suck at both fight commentary and blow by blow analysis, I hope you enjoy :)

This week the fellas discuss their favorite cover songs and albums. The spirited debate goes off the rails and touches on a whole host of other topics. Gee what a surprise these guys can’t stay on topic.

Their is always a movie, book, tv show, and historic figure that you root for yet, you ask yourself why? There is this gray area where the character or figure has both good and bad traits, yet you try to justify their moral compass. Time to take a ride with the Nihilists as they list their favorites. From bank heists to the Berlin wall. These guys go full throttle through history and pop culture. However, they are not very smart and they mess a bunch of their facts up. Enjoy.

Why in the world would a film maker create a great film with amazing actors, flawless story line, and epic cinematography, and then flush it down the toilet with terrible music? It doesn’t happen too often, but when it does, holy crap! This week we look into the world of bad film scores, crappy music queues, and down right pitiful song selections that ruin the movie watching experience.Hang on to your socks and pull. It’s going to be a bumpy ride.

The Nihilists of Apathy couldn’t have said it better themselves. On this week’s episode the fellas explore albums they hate because….

The fellas try this from a different angle. On this episode of the pod albums that most fans consider bad, a let down or just plain $h!tty but these albums are actually really good. Albums from well known artists like Weezer and Metallica are in the discussion. As are forgotten classics like Coil’s Horse Rotorvator. Like a fine french wine these albums needed a little time to mature and be appreciated. But don’t trust our opinion on wines, we drink it straight from the brown paper bag. If you don’t have a copy of any of these albums please click below and pick up at least one of these albums! We’re Nihilists but we need to eat too!

The fellas give a shout out to their first fan. They also give their list of best selling albums that they feel are not-so-great
