How much do you miss looking through the TV Guide and reading it cover to cover and doing the puzzles and highlighting things? Is there anything comparable to that today? That’s the question. And answering it obviously means we have to discuss Neanderthals, whistling, Paul Revere, Benjamin Franklin, electricity, Thomas Edison, Nikola Tesla, telegraphs, Morse code, the Titanic, phonographs, radio, French potatoes, Star Trek, Riker’s beard, Rotten.com, AI, Wikipedia, Kevin Bacon, Eric Roberts, ...

Everything On Cheese
Is cheese political? That’s the question. And apparently, the answer requires Mickey, Christian, and Ian to discuss ancient Rome, government cheese, raw milk, war, capitalism, comedy, mold, Upton Sinclair, American food, and the horrifying process by which humanity apparently discovered what was safe to eat. Also, Jacki isn’t here. This is the first episode of Everything on Nothing without her, so obviously things go completely off the rails. Mickey has a question about cheese, and because Mi...

Everything on Woodrow Wilson
“Was Woodrow Wilson a bad President?” In this Everything on Nothing episode, we drag Wilson off the dusty earnest progressive bookshelf and dump him out as a segregation-obsessed admin nerd who helped invent the modern presidency, the modern propaganda machine, and the modern who counts as a person problem, all while insisting he was saving the world. We talk: Princeton’s sweater vest god king of homework somehow speed running into the White HouseSegregating federal offices like it is a...

Everything on ESports

Everything on 'The Warriors'
Is The Warriors just a grimy ’79 gang flick with face paint and leather vests… or a neon‑lit Greek epic about outcasts, cops, capitalism, and who actually runs New York after dark? We start with the question, “Is The Warriors a popular movie?” and immediately end up asking, “Then why does everybody know the quotes but not the film?” In this episode of Everything on Nothing, Mickey, Christian, and I track The Warriors from its chaotic theatrical release (with real gangs showing up to screening...

Everything on Punk Rock
Is punk rock just loud, fast music for pissed‑off teenagers… or was it the first time a bunch of weird kids collectively realized, “Oh, the system is bullshit, actually”? We start with the question, “Is punk political?” and very quickly end up asking, “How could it not be?” In this episode of Everything on Nothing, Mickey, Christian, and I pull at the loose threads of punk until the whole sweater comes apart.

Everything on Yahoo
Is Yahoo where the internet goes to die… or is it the awkward grandparent that accidentally invented half of the modern web and then tripped over its own shoelaces for 30 years? In this episode of Everything on Nothing, Mickey, Jacki, and Christian crack open the purple time capsule and dig through Yahoo’s weird, winding legacy: from two nerds in a dorm listing every website on Earth, to the exclamation point that dodged a barbecue sauce lawsuit, to the empire that bought RocketMail, GeoCitie...

Everything on Religion
This whole episode exists because Mickey tried to answer his kid's very simple question: "So... what do you actually believe?" Or in Mickey's own words: the question in front of us today is, "what my religious thought was." Cut to one dad, one atheist son, and a lifetime of half formed theology crashing into Douglas Adams, CCD worksheets, and way too much late night cosmology: "Is there a God, or are we just really bad at explaining physics?" From there, Mickey, Christian, and Jacki slide int...

Everything on Outsider Music
This whole episode exists because we were watching South Park, met the character Wing, and had the same chaotic thought at the same time: “Wait… is she real?” Cut to: three adults, multiple tabs, and a full spiral into the world of outsider music, asking out loud: “Is outsider music exploitative?” Not “haha funny bad singing” exploitative. The real kind. The kind with power imbalances, mental illness, and people who never meant to be content. From there, Mickey, Christian, and Jacki trip into...

Everything on Neanderthals
One day, we heard someone say autistic people are “more Neanderthal,” and our brains would not let it go. Not a meme, not a throwaway tweet.... a full-on, late-night, Google-tab-rabbit-hole of a thought: “I am autistic. Am I derived from Neanderthals?” This episode starts with that question and then refuses to stay simple. From there, Mickey, Christian, and Jacki tumble down a Neanderthal‑shaped rabbit hole involving: How a single headline about autism and Neanderthal genes spiraled into four...

Everything on Steve Buscemi
One day, you realized Steve Buscemi was in every weird movie that got stuck in your brain. The VHS your older cousin wouldn’t rewind. The cable re-run you caught at midnight. The indie DVD your film-major roommate wouldn’t shut up about. This episode starts with one question: How did Steve Buscemi become the backbone of modern pop culture? From there, Mickey, Christian, and Jacki slide down a Buscemi-shaped rabbit hole involving: His early days on Not Necessarily the News, when cable was stil...

Everything on the USA Network
You never planned to watch USA Network, did you? You just ended up there... Like the mall food court, Blockbuster on a Friday night, or your friend's house with the mysteriously free cable. This episode starts with one question: How did the USA Network get started? Which sends Mickey, Christian, and Jacki into a rabbit hole involving: satellite technologycable piratesKay Koplovitz changing TV foreverPsychMonkThe Dead ZoneSuitsPaddington BearBroniesBlueyAnd not to mention, the things USA Netwo...

Everything on the Roman Empire
Why are so many people obsessed with the Roman Empire? In the debut episode of Everything on Nothing, Mickey, Christian, and producer Jacki start with a simple question and somehow end up wandering through wolf-raised twins, political assassinations, slave revolts, Christianity, Napoleon, modern corporations, artificial intelligence, and the uncomfortable realization that Rome may never have actually gone away. What begins with Romulus and Remus quickly spirals into a conversation about pro...
