#105: My lesbian friends and their degenerate black criminal associate arrived at my junk food feast. Then the bible-thrasher neighbor kid said a prayer thanking the aboriginals for dying of European diseases in great numbers before the settler-colonials from that part of the world were able to slaughter them, saving money on bullets and concentration camp construction costs.

Parents in 1973 were giving their kids copious amounts of LSD - the only explanation for how I thought a beagle and a tiny wild animal could cook toast on Thanksgiving. Luckily, most suburban families back then owned nine toasters.

I'd learn later that the dog and the bird had captured the bird's mother that day, killed her and then devoured her raw mutilated corpse.

They fought viciously over her last remaining bone, then devoured a pumpkin pie flavored with her blood.

#104: Surprise - the current President of the United States is a war criminal!

#103: Uncle Grandpa joins us to talk about Agents of Chaos - Sean Howe's great new biography of drug dealer, raconteur and High Times publisher Thomas King Forcade. Forcade was involved with many happening scenes: underground publishing, drug smuggling, the yippie movement, hippie capitalism, punk rock and, of course, High Times magazine, which was a culmination of all of those things, especially the drug smuggling.

#102: Gig economy food delivery startup Instacart has finally filed for an initial public offering. Sales peaked during the pandemic and are now flat, with little realistic growth on the horizon. An exploitative business model continues to harm the company's image and alienate employees. Formidable competitors have emerged, and relationships with supermarket corporations are tenuous. The founders and their venture capitalist sponsors will cash out, but not at the levels they dreamed of even a year ago. The Instacart I.P.O. will be a disaster for the drivers too - they get nothing.

#059: Seattle rock god Curt Cobain lived on strawberry milk, candy and cigarettes for years. Plus heroin.

Owners of Cobain-related intellectual property turned his legacy into a lucrative industry. Everything Curt Cobain produced – from million-selling records to juvenalia scribbled in high school notebooks – has been monetized. So who is raking in these Cobainbuck$? And did Curt Cobain eat food?

#101: Seattle rock musicians who didn't live to see old age include the fabulous four - Jimi Hendrix, Curt Cobain, Layne Staley and Chris Cornell. We also pay tribute to lesser-known artists Andrew Wood, Stefanie Sargent, Mia Zapata, El Duce, Michael Dahlquist, Mike Starr, Mark Lanegan, Van Conner and Tom Hansen. PLUS: Honorable (not from Seattle) mentions to Kristen Pfaff, Shannon Hoon, John Saunders and Scott Weiland.

#100: Cheating workers from their pay is a common practice at restaurants. In Seattle, a new law has helped lawyers win big settlements for wage and tip theft victims.

A mom and pop business engaged in this sort of fraud will probably not get sued, but if your food empire gets too big get ready. Canlis, Tom Douglas, Red Robin, Zeeks Pizza, Lowell's, Great State Burger and Pagliacci have all found out. Who is gonna be next?

PLUS: A teen was hit and killed by the Seattle monorail while doing graffiti, which brought the trolls out from the wormwood.

Greg & Brian from Mechanical Freak join us to ask "who is this hateful annoying voice saying awful things about a dead kid? Local right wing crank Ari Hoffman, of course!"

#099: Jane was bad with money, had a partner behind on child support and had substance abuse issues. Her downward spiral through our predatory financial system ended with a stay in rehab that her insurance didn't fully cover - putting her deeper in the hole.

#098: We tour a cemetery and see rabbits, gated communities for the deceased and a lavish monument to Seattle guitarist Jimi Hendrix.

PLUS: Mulletsploitation films American Movie, The Dancing Outlaw, Heavy Metal Parking Lot and Demon Lover Diary.

#097: Fantasy A Gets a Mattress is a charming guerrilla horror comedy that, like any great art, creates an oddball mood. This celebration of postering and graffiti set in a post-apocalyptic Seattle dreamscape populated with endearing social outcasts is a triumph of no budget filmmaking.
