A dive into the weird, the absurd, and the questions nobody asks. History, society, and life get dissected, roasted, and sometimes just stared at in disbelief. Dark humor, sarcasm, and chaos included. Survive the ride, and maybe you’ll see the world a little differently.
This year has been pretty wack - hear all about it.
