This is me doing something I've been wanting to do for a while now, it's my criticism of how dogmatic and PC the "social justice" side of the left has become over the years and how problematic that is, even though I still consider myself a total leftist and progressive!
My first metal episode! I get to have a chill, fun conversation with Trevor from The Black Dahlia Murder about how we got into metal, the way it's changed and gotten bigger over the years, and what a kick-ass band I think they are!
I get to have an awesome conversation with comedy legend Tommy Chong! Look somewhere else if you want an average Q&A about Cheech & Chong movies, we have a freewheeling talk about our experiences with psychedelics, spirituality, and what's important in life. We hit it off really well, expect to see him again on the show at some point.
My very good friend and "long-term booty call", Madison, and I discuss the ins and outs (so to speak lol) of inter-abled sexuality and the positives and negatives. We also get into the mechanics of how it works for us for all of you curious sickos out there!

An amazing episode where I get the honor of kicking it with Killah Priest, long-time member of the Wu-Tang Family!

We even do some free styling together. It's the return of MC Wheels!

This episode starts with an update of all the new Disney Marvel/Star Wars TV shows and films that were recently announced for the next few years, followed by an in-depth dive into the 20 greatest horror movies of the 1980s and it's a pretty great list! Correction: Phantasm IV actually came out in 1998, what can I say, it feels like an 80's movie because it's part of the series. I also said that the make-up artist on ...
