World's A Mess

EPISODE #32-- Alex and James fail to predict when Easter comes out, as well as hunt down and trap the news ferret (tm). After that they get into the real nitty-gritty, namely Nazis attacking people with gifs, a solid gold heist in Berlin, the highest trucker ever, and using the bones of General MacArthur for sexual gratification. We also rap about how bad Tucker Carlson is, the benefits of sobriety, and the vagaries of shopping while disabled. Thanks to Sef Joosten for our show art.

EPISODE #31-- Sorry for the delay there, folks, but no news is good news, right? WRONG! It's the worst kind of news! But, anyways, we're back and coming at you with stories about reverse racist robbers, drunk delinquint Deadpools at drive-ins, loose lizards, and wayward weed donors.

EPISODE #17-- Our episode starts out a bit ranty. Sorry about that. That's what you get for bringing Satan into the mix. And Florida. Besides that, the boys delve into a case of stolen gold, a horse that's high on meth, and a real "rum deal" between Cuba and the Czech Republic. Alex and James also get into LA traffic, the proper use of a goat, and the best/worst traffic jam stories that we know. It's a doozy. Hold your babies close.
