Fred, Salv, Lion & ET join the chat to discuss the hot new viral sensation to spread across the planet, and how they're all coping with it. We also try (and fail) to solve the mystery of what Salv should make with last year's frozen salmon. HelloSpiral pops in for a moment to give us a quick idea of what's going on behind the scenes at one of Her Majesty's Prisons in land of Great Britain, all while fending off a very salacious verbal assault by ET.

Fred and ET join us for light discussion on 9/11, UFO encounters, and Aphex Twin. Cool episode. 

Extra special thanks to Salv for getting us sorted out on this, as the episode was recorded in late 2018 but suffered from major audio issues. Salv fixed them enough for me to get the episode finalized and uploaded after a short 6 month hiatus.

Burning Man Wrapup w/ Mike & Liz

We go over this year's Burning Man festivities, including foam parties, bicycle-related herpes outbreaks, celebrity and corporate culture at the event, bad DJ's, and much more. 

Note: Audio quality is extremely poor on this one. Two mics, one of them capturing a very noisey, quiet recording. Took me a long time to edit. Sorry!

Everyone's favorite Alaskan Phil (aka Salv) joins us for an evening of discussion on life, on technoshamanism, college radio, Salvia and other drugs. It's a heady listen, rife with meandering tangents per usual... a journey into the minds of two men, cut from the same cloth.

OUR VERY FIRST EPISODE! Dr. Lopez stops by to talk about his sister taking a shit on a train and clogging the toilet. I talk about my hatred for 'The OA' (on Netflix), and refer to Quentin Tarantino as a "Pastiche Artist." We discuss the 'Breastaurant' phenomena. Think of this one as more of a pilot episode... enjoy.
