The Smoking Simian

Send us Fan Mail I figured why not have my brother on the Thanksgiving show, warm all you listeners hearts. Couldn't be more proud of this kid, he's growing into a real animal. Happy Holidays, it doesn't matter what you call the day. All that is important is that you argue with your family members over stuff we have no control over.  - Follow me on Instagram - https://www.instagram....

Send us Fan Mail The tragedy that has taken place at Travis Scott's Astroworld music festival, matched with the lack of accountability from the organizers has been incredibly disturbing.

Money comes and goes, time can be lost forever. Enjoy you dirty beasts.  - Follow me on I...

Send us Fan Mail Went a little crazy on this one guys not going to lie. However, where this episode lacks in compassion and class, it makes up for it in authenticity and mayhem.

The conversation was great, enjoy you beasts of the new world.  - Follow me on Instagram -...

Send us Fan Mail I try to take as much as I can from every experience, regardless of how good or bad it was. This past weekend I got sick out of nowhere and it really put a damper on my weekend.

Anyway, I barely get sick and for whatever reason it has inspired me to ge...

Send us Fan Mail For those of you who watch the show on YouTube, you will notice that there is no video for the beginning of this episode.
