Devil Take the Wheel: Prisma's Diner Pt.2

Cap and Ryan scratch feverishly at the earth to dig up a couple spooky season topics before the conclusion of Prisma's Diner starring Quinn Majeski, Jess Sparks, Cap, and our hosts!Huge thanks to our friends!@MonsterHourPod@JessSparksNotesJoin us on Discord!https://discord.gg/3hfMjhXN

Devil Take the Wheel: Prisma's Diner Pt.1

Cap and Ryan are letting the Devil take the wheel for all of October. NOTE: We're not literally consorting with any demonic forces. It's October 2024, and polls are saying it's a coin toss whether Ted Cruz gets to preside over my witch trial... so to be clear, it's just a Halloween goof. But that goof is going to transition us from the Oktoberfest Devil's Wheel into the first half of an Actual Play Table Top Roleplaying Game single shot session of Absurdia with its creator Quinn Modjeski and special guest player Jess Sparks.

The ReTruth About Cats and Dogs

Ryan and Cap talk about the scientific awards nobody puts on their CV before opining on the state of global drag. Then they blabber about politics and why Donald Trump is racist, and why Laura Loomer is a victim of her own schtick, and how you should definitely vote for Kamala Harris in November. Holy smokes. Don't panic. But if you do feel a sense of panic, that's okay. We're just primates, and evolution hasn't caught up to the demands of civilization. Cut yourself some slack.

The Butt Plug Railgun

Ryan takes to the streets with Cap to patrol the internet in search of questions and topics in need of vigilante illumination.

Dispatches From the Cola Wars

Yes,  there's a heat wave, but there's nothing more refreshing than rubbing a cool new episode against your earballs.

Then they take a dip into a purported image of Presidential loser Donald Trump rescuing cats from dangerous flood waters found on Facebook. Then they wrap up the episode with a pair of insane topics that prove that capitalism can make even the softest drinks go hard with death squads and naval armadas.

REMASTERED: Ep.027 - The Gordian Forget Me Not

A Classic from the Archives, one of Ryan's personal favorites because Matt is totally on top of his game!__________________________On this week's episode, Matt and Ryan celebrate a minor production milestone: six months of podcasting. Then they help the desperate souls of Reddit by tackling their most challenging r/nostupidquestions question yet in which the asker would like to become less stupid. Then they plug into a Black Mirroresque story out of the UK that is too graphic and horrible to describe with any level of anatomical precision. They turn their attention to the font of very much not stupid questions again, but this time the question asker is inquiring about what happens when you put a grenade in a microwave, and we answer the question because we don't think anyone is smart enough to decode what we want. Finally, and possibly forever, they discuss meme reports about QR codes going up on Japanese gravestones.__________________________
