You're so vain. You probably think this pod is about you. Don't you?

We went down to the crossroad, did not fall to our knee. We went down to the cross road, what did we see? We went down to the crossroad, saw a armless dicked Hermes...   Learn Just what goes on down where two roads meet. Three headed women, demons and devils, pissing dogs, and yes... :sigh: Penises. 

Things are going to get a little bit Biblical and a tad Evil this time, as Garth takes the driver's seat and drives the pod down the highway to hell to talk about The Devil. Come for The Adversary, but stay for the blasphemous theological discussion about whether or not God might also be The Devil.

60 episodes?! Yes! And this one is a bit experimental. Cody and Garth take you on a real time journey over the local haunted road from their home area. The legendary Hicks Road!

Also we'll talk about a couple of times people trolled other people before trolling was a thing.    There's that sign-post up ahead! It says, "Don't feed the trolls." It's good advise, and we wo...

Do you find yourself strangely attracted to the strange and somewhat monstrous? Like, REALLY attracted? Do glowing eyes and and long claws just do it for you? Honestly, do you want to bang a cryptid?
