NSFW the evolution of BBLiveShow into (an attempt at) a professional show. NSFW is part of the TWiT Netcast Network and hosted by Brian Brushwood and Justin Robert Young. It premiered on November 24, 2009 with guests Leo Laporte and Alex Albrecht playing Name That Autocomplete.
The name itself does not always literally mean "Not Safe For Work;" when introducing the show Brian interprets the acronym as the "New Show Full of Win" and "New Sauce For the Webernets." Others include:
- Not Sure? Fail Whale
- Naughty Samurai Fighting Woodchuck
- Now Serving Fantastic Waffles
- New Show Fails Weekly
- New Science For the World (used in #27)
Each episode begins with a viral video (sometimes suggested by the chat room, others chosen by Brian or Justin in advance). Recordings are made of each episode and are available as a podcast (or "netcast" as Leo says). Like the BBLiveShow before it, the "after show" that follows the live broadcast is not included in the podcast.
Fans of the show were dubbed "Dolphin Fuckers" by King Leo during a TWiT recording on April 11, 2010.

Technical Details
NSFW is the only TWiT show that handles its switching locally (via Brian on Vidblaster); where other remotely-produced TWiT shows' participants connect to and handle production through the TWiT Cottage, Brian does all the production and video switching from his home and the TWiT Cottage essentially serves as a receiver to record and edit the audio/video for release to podcast. Though TWiT captures the show, Brian also records locally in case of all-too-frequent technical failures.
None of this applies, of course, if Brian is away from home or is physically at the Cottage; in such cases, all show participants connect to the Cottage as normal and the engineer on board (initially Colleen Kelly; more recently John Slanina) will handle the production. In such cases, a different set of "lower third" graphics are used as opposed to the usual NSFW bug that appears in the lower left-hand corner when Brian is producing from home.
NSFW is rarely rerun on the TWiT live stream, presumably for content reasons or tech failures... or because the engineer forgets to put it in the queue.
