Rafa Garcia Febles, aka Mr. Two Damn Cute and Anti-imperialist came on to get nasty and weird and discuss the Northernmost Valleys of Chile, but basically to discuss what, exactly, the remnants of Fascism do to a country.

Hi, John is in France probably making women do his laundry, so it's Kevin here to explain the episode. Maipo is where Chile starts to get... complicated? Keara is the funniest there is, and if I remember right, we both roast the hell out of John for most of this Episode and he gets really upset. Oh, also, we try to drink an expensive bigger Chilean wine and, spoiler alert, it's not that...

This is the last domestic episode of the season, and I ha...

It’s a sad one as the boys go solo and try to do a wine podcast while America Burns. Fuck all this shit please continue to donate to abortion funds.

Please visit Copake Wines in Copake to tell Christie which one of the Disgorgeous crew is your favorite, an...

I told James he could do whatever he wanted this week. I haven't listened yet, but he and Jahde are way smarter than us, so, fuck, looks like it's probably better than normal.
