¶ Episode 1: DO YOU ART?
- Air Date: 2018-05-16
- Format: Art or Nart
- Synopsis: Join Radic Al and his step brother Russell for a live artistic exploration.
Episode 1 of the Everything Now Show aired on May 16, 2018 and ran for 18 minutes and 50 seconds. It's the shortest episode in the history of ENS and mostly consisted of host, Radic Al, singing nonsensically and introducing his step brother/show producer, Russell, as well as the show's band leader, Spanxxx.yeahbaby.
The show ends in an 8 minute performance piece of Spanxxx playing the keyboard, Russell editing, and Radic Al rambling and crooning into the mic. The performance leads into a chaotic crescendo where Radic Al collapses on the ground, awakens, and then leaves. Russell ends the show by thanking everyone and tentatively asking them to tune in next week.

-
While the first episode was airing live, the first ever Twitch chat message sent by someone watching the show was, "This is terrifying." The message was sent by Jake Ellenbogen who ironically would one day join the show as a writer and eventual cast member.
-
In 2018 the show was originally streamed simultaneously to Twitch and Facebook. A few episodes in, ENS realized this was a bad idea...
-
In 2023, ENS started experimenting with multi-streaming again to Twitch, Youtube, and Tiktok. Hopefully this time it works out! (NARRATOR: It didn't!)
