e Knowledge of Nothing Podcast (S7E13): International Birthday Traditions

Published on: 6th November, 2025

Welcome to the 7th season of the Knowledge of Nothing (KON) podcast! Where your hosts, Tony, Brian, Oren and Wayne (aka the KONMen) discuss the inane, somewhat entertaining, and occasionally educational topics on a weekly basis. This week’s show marks the yearly tradition of O-mas at KONMan Tony’s household. We also get an impromptu “Gett off my KON” mini-segment where the guys share their gripes with commercials. The main segment was provided by our one and only KON sponsor, Dayna of SoyCat, in honor of her upcoming birthday. Tony, Brian, and Oren will be tested on if they can guess the country or region where a unique birthday tradition is held. Some are way better than the U.S. and others are a bit painful to imagine. You definitely want to tune in as you might be surprised at how many the KONMen get right!

About the Podcast

The Knowledge of Nothing Podcast

The Knowledge of Nothing and its hosts welcome you to an eclectic and entertaining conversation on our modern mythologies! The podcast name says it all, these guys don't claim to know anything but they passionately geek out on everything!

Welcome to The Knowledge of Nothing (The KON) podcast! Join the KONMen (Tony, Brian, Wayne, & Oren) as they host eclectic conversations (and ever entertaining heated debates) on our modern mythologies, which include movies, TV, food, gaming, random life thoughts & more!. The podcast name says it all, these guys don't claim to know everything but they passionately geek out on everything!

Who are the KONMen?
Tony - Some say he embodies the soul or passion of the show. Others say he overthinks everything. But everyone knows he’ll speak his mind and then change it later in the episode. Hence his call sign: Icy-Hot

Brian - Underneath his gruff and blunt exterior, lies the beating and bleeding heart of the show. He longs for a simpler life (like cultivating a vineyard) and is an old soul in a not-quite old man’s body. He’s both bold and old-fashioned, hence his Old English call sign: Sauce-Box

Wayne - Sifting through the chaos and navigating through the noise, Wayne makes a sweet symphony out of the word salad that gets thrown at him. He is the hardest working member of the team, is truly great at what he does and wears many hats. Wayne is the driving force that keeps this show going and that’s why he is known by the call sign: Maestro

Oren - He may be a KONMan of few words but they definitely pack a punch(line)! His baritone voice will simultaneously drop huge nuggets of knowledge and lull you into a trance. Both his friends and his enemies know him by the call sign: Big-Sexy

The goal is to be entertaining but who knows, maybe you'll learn something from "Nothing”?
