Episode 006 – Mojave Wateland Blues

RENTON FOOD CO-OP

Here’s the much anticipated (by us…) Fallout: New Vegas wank-cast. Fond reminiscences of our wasteland days (and nights! Ha-cha-cha!) abound, mixed up with the usual stimulating discussion on a broad range of topics.

We speculate on the origins of furrydom, equate the threat represented by the Twilight novels with the threat of one Ms. Sarah Palin, discover the exact means by which the apocalypse will overtake us all (not zombies), and a number of us spring out of the Anne Rice fan closet. Shit gets weird. Then we put it on the internet!

As a bonus, you can also listen to Ken dying of the consumption!
