download
on iTunes

Step into a smoky dive bar w/ Billy Ray Stupendous and me in th days before smoking was banned on Earth, as we are joined by Ilya th disco cosmonaut to talk bout everything related to th night except Batman.  What makes staying out until th sun comes up feel good ?  What's in a cemetery ?  What goes on in Berghain, Berlin's most secretive club ?  Do gays age differently than str8s ?  What's th diff between tolerance and acceptance ?  What's th over-under on th number of years more it'll take to accomplish world peace ?  And who committed a hate crime against th Shoney Bear ?  Mysteries upon mysteries, my friend
