The Business

from Fairly Harmless · host Fairly Harmless Squad

Two guys from Raleigh walk into a podcast and immediately get sidetracked by Grey Poupon, grocery store rankings, and a secondhand audio interface bought at 3am on eBay. Welcome to Fairly Harmless. In the debut episode of Fairly Harmless, Andrew and James officially introduce themselves, explain how they deleted the actual first episode, and somehow turn a conversation about mustard into a meditation on sriracha trademark law, space monkeys, and whether the thug life chose them or they chose it. There's also an ASMR detour and a Gene Wilder/Richard Pryor reference that makes complete sense in context. Intelligent and insightful are words other podcasts use to describe themselves. This is Fairly Harmless. We're missing the point from the very beginning, with musical accompaniment by The Boston Horns.

Explicit WTP Paranormal Podcast Lee Gant and Andy Naylor What's the Point?... Paranormal podcast taking an irreverent and normally fairly sceptical look at all things weird. Explicit 1994 Harmless Entertainment 1994 is a road-trip comedy set in the spring of, you guessed it, 1994. It follows the adventures of High School junior Scott Sweet and his friends as they attempt to escape the boredom of their dead-end, small-town Arizona suburb by skipping school to go to Disneyland, deliver 20lbs of marijuana to L.A., team up with a bank robber on the lam, escape from angry unpaid mechanics, make a side trip to Las Vegas, accidently take peyote with a traveling band of hippies, avoid the cops, get laid, convince their parents not to ground them when they get home and maybe, just maybe, score enough money to take his high school crush to the prom. Hey, it beats 2nd period algebra! Explicit
