News and chat about society, with a soundboard and propaganda mixed in. On this episode, I was joined by two-time guest, John Carrol (@jhncrrl_) aka Pizza Boyfriend! It's the Halloween episode! This is Season 5, at the show's brand new venue: the beautiful Lorena Bobbitt Theatre. It's the HD era! Some of the things covered include:

- The fractured ankle ailing Houdini, which then compounded with several punches to the gut from a douche bag

- Houdini's dramatic collapse right as the curtain closed
