The Daft Monks Podcast

The Daft Monks Podcast

Two best friends. Both named Nate. One cyberpunk city full of terrible decisions.

Daft Monks mixes irreverent conversation with an improvised comedy adventure. Hosts Nate Casimiro and Nate Stalcup turn games, pop culture, and everyday frustrations into a world where corporations run everything and their heroes can barely manage the commute.

Meet Roy, a corporate overachiever convinced his promotion is coming, and Ash, an electrical worker who would prefer everyone leave him alone. Together, they stumble into trouble far beyond their job descriptions.

Start with Season 3, Episode 1: A Breakdown in Commute-ication. It introduces the city, the characters, and their first disastrous day. No earlier seasons are needed to follow this story.

Explicit language and adult humor. Earlier seasons remain available in the archive.

About the Hosts

Nate Casimiro Profile Photo

Co-host, Producer

Some Nate’s are born lucky… Nate’s just lucky to be alive… Yeah, way too dark. Let’s try again.

Nate makes up the second, more decisive half of Nat1 Presents. While Nate Stalcup is capable of rolling out of bed and entertaining a crowd, Nate Casimiro prides himself in relentless hard work and peer pressure.

When he’s isn’t trying not to fall out of his chair laughing from Nate’s rant-like antics, you’ll find him behind the scenes building websites, editing clips, and just all around begging people to watch his podcast. If you feel even remotely bad for this person, then good, he did his job.

I know what you’re thinking… “Wow, that’s a nice head of hair!” Well, you are correct, and thank you.

More than a collection of thousands of pristinely styled protein follicles, Nate makes up exactly one half of the Nat1 Presents team. No more, no less. Perfectly in balance….

Just kidding. Known for his sharp wit and penchant for roleplay, Nate keeps the laughs coming by committing to his characters and taking them to the absolute extreme. Catch him on literally every episode of Nat1 because there’s only two members.
