NQ 54: With Apologies 04/11/2014

NQ 54: With Apologies We here at Nugatory Quest would like to apologize for totally bumming you out with this episode. It doesn't seem like something we should be capable of doing but, well, sometimes things happen. What looks to be a wacky trivia question might just turn out to be the most depressing thing you've read in a while. That said, we've kept the conversation largely unedited because it actually contains a few facts that, while rough, are pretty important. So again, sorry about this and please know that any laughter during that section is merely shock and not because we're the worst people. We'll get back to the japes next time! /episode/index/show/nugatoryquest/id/2778464

NQ 50: Nostradiculous 02/07/2014

NQ 50: Nostradiculous In the year of our Lord, Two Thousand and Four, two great minds shall meet in the realm of snowy desperation. The fires of one will ignite the ire of the other and a great battle will be fought over the correct method of topping circular dough with protein. The hostility will cease for a time, before it is renewed with vigor over where such sundries shall be consumed by man. Those caught in this wake shall dissolve in the horror and zestiness, as rivers of red drown all sense. The aftermath shall see the combatants alone, exhausted and wondering how they could have done 50 of these stupid things. /episode/index/show/nugatoryquest/id/2667287

NQ 46: Gorbachev 3D Meet Mikey! He's the new kid in class and just doesn't fit in. The boys think he's weird! The girls think he's gross! The conservative politburo thinks he's radical! But little do they know that he's got a plan to become the most popular kid in school. With the help of his secret best friend Ronny, Mikey is taking the schoolyard by storm - from the school newspaper to getting rid of those ugly bike racks dividing the playground in half. But what Mikey doesn't realize is that all the fun antics and social reform in the world can't buy you happiness. It might just take a little attention from Maggie, the most severe girl in school, to make him see the light. Coming to theatres this Spring, it's Gorbachev like you've never seen him before!

NQ 44: Surviving Trump Alright, Danny we have to talk about what you did to my gorgeous, gold-encrusted French imported bidet. This is the best bidet in New York City. Danny, I know you can't appreciate how great this bidet is. This is the best bidet I've ever owned and the best bidet you'll ever see with your small, non-tan-lined eyes. Last year, the makers of this bidet did a quarter million dollars in sales and this year, they'll almost do the same. It's a great business and great bidet. I think you're really going to love it.

This here is a special train - a train that will fling you far into the future of our world! What awaits you on the other side of this vast expanse? Is it knowledge of a country divided? Varieties of vegetables? Gambling? Well I can't rightly say. No one knows where the train will take us - it has a mind of its own. I understand if you're a tad apprehensive but there's not need to fear. The train reveals not what its passengers want but ultimately what they need. Ah! Can you hear that whistle blowing? We're getting ready to depart! So let me ask you stranger: are you ready for the ride of your life? In TIME? /episode/index/show/nugatoryquest/id/2459747
