After a short hiatus, the boys are back with a brand new podcast.

The Safety Rangers go on a ROAD TRIP! Trapped alone in a screaming red pickup racing through the backroads of South Carolina with a bellyfull of swamp sweet tea and bar-b-que - what could possibly go wrong?

Don't miss a minute of the fun!

Poison Boy returns to dispel some of the half-truths being thrown around by assorted academics and knuckleheads, in particular surrounding the events in Flint, Michigan.

All that plus the Venomous Media Review and the Week in Review. Allez! 

Poison Boy burning the midnight oil and digging deep to uncover the secrets of nuclear warfare strategy from an expert in nuclear war. Plus, we find the answer to our national nightmare - a collective bong hit from the waterpipe of common sense.
