Nikki van Schyndel is one of the most incredible souls from TV show ALONE Season 6 (or TV, period. Or life). She is that lady with a great attitude who accidentally hurt herself a bunch but didn't let that stop her. Her teddy bear made from a dead rabbit will haunt my dreams forever. This week, we've got two special co-hosts: Heidi Gardner (SNL) and Zeb Wells (SUPERMANSION, SHE-HULK), both fans of Nikki and ALONE. They know nothing about "the survival industry" (as Zeb puts it) so we had fun jux...

Storyboard artist and ol' bud Patrick Dailey (FUTURAMA, IRON GIANT, DISENCHANTMENT) joins us to dissect the 2019 flick THE MASTER SAMURAI (Dir. Kazushi Watanabe) starring Hayato Ichihara, Shugo Oshinari and Megumi Okina. Based on a manga (and available on Amazon Prime), this film is as uneven as it gets. Still, the main character is hot, runs a lot and doesn't understand how iPhone works, so he's just like Patrick! Note: the film appears to be made for young children if not for its very - SPOILE...

Nothing makes Jay Hunter happier *or* angrier than the TV show ANCIENT ALIENS on the History channel. He calls it a "piece of sh*t" and "fraud" but paradoxically, he's also the show's biggest fan. Jay has watched the 190 episodes of the show's 15 seasons at least four times. No surprise, today is second best day of Jay's life as we sit down and analyze the hell out of Ancient Aliens. We also rate the show's hosts, including the "spray-tanned moron," Giorgio A. Tsoukalos. Download co-host Joe Cab...

Right before the most recent shutdown, Damiana Garcia went to Palm Springs to enjoy MORONGO casino guilt-free and mask-free (well, she had it in her pocket, people!) Why, you ask? To kill someone. Like Damiana says it herself, "I choose to be a murderess!" How much do you pay the local news station PAs to be accomplices in murder? Is standing still under the shower better than swimming in a pool? And what's a bus accident that doesn't involve a collision? Listen to find out. Find Damiana on IG ....

Today, we continue our conversation with Frater I.C.L. and Bryant Walker, the members of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn. We dig deep into the topic of DEMONIC EVOCATIONS (and one invocation). Frater I.C.L. recalls a few stories from the field, including a broken heart, a bruised thigh, a whispering spirit and of course, the Lesser Banishing Ritual of the Pentagram. Speaking of the pentagram, isn't that the sign of Satan? Is a "blind spirit" actually blind? And what does it feel like to be...

In this SHUT UP I HATE IT edition, pop-culture expert Burt Kearns refers to LD as a "baldheaded four-eyed prick," as he recalls being dissed by the man at a group dinner back in the 80s.
