Qualified Nonsense is a podcast wherein lifelong friends aim to answer life's pressing, and not-so-pressing, questions using their lived experiences and insight in a fun and less-than-qualified manner.
In this episode, we open things up by talking about the 1988 classic, ‘Big’, and how it plays to a 2026 audience, before talking about other childhood movies and skeevy music. We then get into reddit questions by discussing how best to deal with insulting an HR manager while unmuted on Zoom, and whether killing a 9/11 hijacker before the events of 9/11 would lead to a lighter sentence. Throughout the show, we cover things like origin stories in movies, H.P. Lovecraft, ‘Minority Report’, and alternate timelines. Thanks for listening!

Stumblebum Elegy
On this week’s episode we are joined by Eli Green, our first second-time guest, and owner of Troy, MI’s Stumblebum Beer Co. Eli shares some unfortunate news about his business, but we have a cure for the blues with questions from reddit! This week’s topics include mundane tasks taking longer than necessary and the funniest way to say that you need to use the bathroom. Plus, we get into the current state of the beer industry, our recent viral video, navigating the healthcare industry, self-checkout, bathroom cleanliness etiquette, feeling awkward in someone else’s bedroom, and more!

Matchado About Nothing
This week, we open with a little trivia quiz about the cities we live in. Then we get into a discussion about train travel before getting into our main questions that include a discussion about examples of high risk/low reward behaviors, matcha tea, and an increasingly common discussion point on this show: proper bidet use. Plus, we talk about our brief minor social media fame.
