Dissapointing episode. It's weird unanimity among all hosts and guests. Unite the Right was sad postmodernist farce. I'm sorry but I can't see fascists ascendance or fascsm on the rise in Charlottsville protests. It's not the first time Antifa or anti-racists protesters seeked confrontation with Alt-right. It's again not the right context. Alt-righters didn't ascend on black neighborhood yelling and screaming racists slogans. They assembled in public space near statue and they got permit for that. If there were no antifa protesters, then Unite the Right assembly would have been forgotten by now. I'm afraid this hysteria over fascists on the rise plays into hands of those (in center and on cultural the left) who were calling for unity against Trump. So now this anti-racism gonna be weapon to get Trump. And main goal of all leftists and liberals would be oust Trump because fascists on the rise. I think it's all great distraction.

Absolutely, that is the choice. Fuck the Tories.

Episode 125 -  Fast And Furious: Toledo Drifter feat. Tim Heidecker (7/15/17)

NOTE: Ahead of this week's premium episode, we are unlocking our first 2-part gaming episode, "The Pizza In The Gate."

This is the first of a two-part radio play/tabletop game run by Virgil, who locked us in a room to play Call of Cthulhu. Turning the clock back to the 1920s, the guys act out a Lovecraftian cosmic horror-noir. 

Will plays a disturbed, incestuous race scientist, Felix a military valor-stealer turned jazz vocalist, and Matt a medically trained decrepit foot fetishist. They receive an odd message from a grotesque, half-man, half-baseball that leads them to uncover dark secrets in the heart of our young nation’s capital…

It's time to play the game. Time to play the game. [Laughter] It's all about the game, and how you play it. All about control, and if you can take it. All about your debt, and if you can pay it. It's all about pain, and who's gonna make it.
