Pray The Boner Away 13.05.2023 1:16:25
Not much to talk about this week, so it's mostly a show full of Would You Rathers? Along the way I recount being harassed by a group of school age children as a grown man, I turn in my music homework assignment for the week and of course, I make the most impossible of choices from the demented and twisted minds of AFC nation.

Backpage Bliss 06.05.2023 1:41:31

Miss Atomic Bomb 01.04.2023 1:38:40
This is a "lost episode" that I recorded about two years ago but never released. Some of the stuff I talk about in the beginning may sound a little dated and that's why. Basically, this is a story of a date I went on in the year 2020 right in the middle of Covid. I harbor no ill will towards the person in the story but we just were not a good romantic connection and I think once you listen to the...
