    At five minutes into the 5/5 episode, they were still doing commercials!

  • Today’s episode was needed

    Toni is right. The podcast is going downhill, especially with Captain Crinkle telling people to F off so much. I’m concerned the podcast is losing steam and the interpersonal issues have been sneaking into the podcast. I hope they right the ship and respect Toni more. Get rid of the wrinkle bag bit and maybe listen to Adam and Toni more often than being a Captain vanity project

  • Always funny, sometimes hilarious

    I look forward to Tuesday’s because I know there will be a new episode of NLTPP. I’ve never not laughed during some part of an episode. Some times I have had to stop what I’m doing because I am laughing so hard. For people new to the podcast, it might take some time to pick up on some of the themes that are mined for comedic effect. Give it some time and see if you don’t end up laughing at every show.

  • Make the wrinkle bag a crinkle bag

    Just what I said. Instead of pulling the wrinkles from a make-believe wrinkle bag, pull the wrinkles from a real-life crinkle bag. Could be a brown paper bag or a chip bag. An ode to the origin of Captain Crinkle that adds to the audio experience. You're welcome
