Fairly Harmless: Take a Break from Being Smart
Warning: this comedy podcast contains no useful information. That's the whole point.
Andrew and James are not experts in anything, and they're not here to fix that. No life optimization. No morning routines. No takeaways. Just two enthusiastic hosts having a funny conversation and dragging you along for it.
Topics wander freely through movies that deserved better, movies that absolutely did not, decades of television, space and whether any of it means anything, road trips, holidays, the paranormal, puppets, the nature of time, and a rotating cast of subjects that seemed like a good idea when someone hit record. Nothing is too big, too small, or too weird to end up on the agenda.
Come waste some time with us. Take a break from being smart.

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.
