If you grew up glued to the set or just want to understand what people mean when they talk about 70s TV, this funny conversation is for you.

It's Groundhog Day, and Andrew and James have questions, mostly about why we let a rodent run our meteorological lives.

In this comedy podcast episode, the guys break down the strange, wonderful tradition of Punxsutawney Phil, shadow-based forecasting, and whether any of this actually predicts the weather (spoiler: it does not).

Funny, absurd, and weirdly informative, this is the Groundhog Day discussion nobody asked for but absolutely needed.

A funny, rambling conversation about getting around that goes everywhere except on schedule.

Hollywood's most gloriously unhinged attempt to turn a beloved video game into a gritty action film nobody asked for. In this comedy podcast episode, the guys try to make sense of Bob Hoskins as Mario, Dennis Hopper as a lizard king, and a script that appears to have been written by someone who had only heard Super Mario Bros. described secondhand.

Funny, baffling, and oddly affectionate, this is the 1993 Super Mario Bros. movie review you didn't know you needed.

The guys discuss driving across the flattest place in the continental US, the strange peace that comes from zero visual distractions, and the thoughts a person has when there is literally nothing else to look at.

Funny, philosophical, and oddly therapeutic, no mountains required.

Equal parts humor podcast and fever dream, and somehow both at the same time. If you've ever felt like you've been somewhere before you've been there, this one's for you.

This funny food episode celebrates local comfort food, the kind of eating that requires no apology, and the deeply held belief that lard is a perfectly acceptable cooking medium. If you love food podcasts, funny conversation, and the unapologetic joy of eating well, this is your episode.

Also discussed: the Wizard of Oz's entire cast as a personality framework, Darth Maul's underrated villain energy, a time-travel business model that is morally indefensible.

It's a year in review where almost no year gets reviewed. Exactly as intended.

Hosts James and Andrew welcome first-ever female guest Betty and holiday spirit animal Omar Jones for a chaotic yuletide roundtable covering the Die Hard Christmas movie debate, National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation, Bad Santa, Elf, Scrooged, Muppet Christmas Carol and whether It's a Wonderful Life deserves its reputation. Additionally Elf on the Shelf as a full parental psyop, figgy pudding, Atari trauma, Star Trek ornaments, and the single greatest Christmas tree story ever recorded.

It starts with fidget spinners as heartfelt gifts. It ends with an off-key Jingle Bells nobody asked for. Everything in between is pure holiday magic.

'Tis the season to be Fairly Harmless, missing the point since forever.

Topics covered: a James Bond ranking homework assignment nobody asked for, a sequel-movie debate that may never actually happen, and two grown men presenting eyewitness evidence of confirmed time travelers living among us. 

Also on the agenda: a Dungeons & Dragons road rage simulator where incompetent left-turners trigger a combat encounter. A YouTube rabbit hole into competitive chili pepper eating with no prize except the suffering. And a closing segment about a phrase Andrew dreamed up which James claims no credit for and absolutely should.

Missing the point since the beginning. Fairly Harmless. You're welcome.

If you like long-form nonsense between friends who shouldn't be trusted with microphones, this is the one.

There's a moment in this episode where you'll think they've finally gone too far. They haven't. It gets better.

If you're new to Fairly Harmless, this is a solid place to start. If you're already a fan, you know exactly what you're in for, and you're not wrong.

Also covered: TikTok challenges that should exist, why Mary Ann's boyfriend was almost certainly fake and why Goodfellas might be the best worst comfort movie ever made.

Three is the magic number. Nobody learned anything useful, which is kind of the point.

The crew tackles the truly important questions: Did the Monopoly guy ever have a monocle? Is Bill Pullman dead or are we thinking of Bill Paxton? Do fish get thirsty?

The gang debates parallel universes, the Mandela Effect and someone admits to picking all the good flavors out of a Jelly Belly assortment. Turkey sausages make an appearance. So does the patented Shua fart technique, perfected in community college. Pour one out for John Candy.

The third broken axle on the truck of terror has been installed. Fairly Harmless rolls on.

This episode also features a genuinely compelling pitch for a professional insult delivery service where hired randos approach your enemies, say something devastating, and vanish forever. Passive aggressive? Sure. A legitimate business opportunity? These two think so.

James came home from the yard sale with DVDs instead of money: Fletch, The Tao of Steve, and a Yule log DVD that he will tell you about at length. It's a Northeastern Christmas television tradition. He's very excited. 

Also: someone got confused about the name of the game cornhole and the whole thing went sideways immediately. No further questions.

Andrew got a haircut from a barber whose hands would not stop shaking and stayed in the chair anyway. James broke two lawn chairs in the same month. By the end of the episode they are working out the physics of surviving a free fall out of a plane using a bazooka and a broken lawn chair as a parachute.

Also there's a hilarious discussion about wearing glasses that look like Elton John picked them out.

This is Fairly Harmless, missing the point as always.

The NBA takes a beating next. Neither host has cared much since the Jordan-Pippen Bulls, and they will tell you exactly why. College ball is a different story: real teamwork, real stakes, and an NC State shoutout for good measure.

Then things get entrepreneurial. James pitches Shelf, a dating app for people who can balance a plate of food on their stomach, and the brainstorm spirals into a full graveyard of cursed app names: Doormat, Wrench, Turkey Baster, Meat Mallet.

The episode closes with an enthusiastic, completely unpaid endorsement of Prime Barbecue in Knightdale, and a nod to Longleaf Swine in Raleigh, who referred the business to a competitor when their equipment failed before a catering job rather than just canceling. Integrity in the barbecue industry. It exists.

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.
