Remember that time you almost called a creepy clown on a dare? Well, we sure do, because that's how this wild ride of an episode kicks off! From the algorithmic mazes of streaming services to the mysterious allure of Wrinkles the Clown, we take you through a funhouse of reflections, debates, and, yes, even the temptation to dial up the boogeyman himself. Our guest Nutley Nick Nick chimes in, bringing a fresh perspective and a killer idea that sets the tone for a new segment we can't wait to get rolling.
As kids, we all had those moments in Catholic school that felt larger than life, where sacred artifacts and solemn ceremonies seemed to hold the secrets of the universe. We're revisiting those memories, laughing at our naivety, and exploring how relics like the Vatican's Crown of Thorns mesh with our adult understanding of faith and skepticism. But it's not all solemnity and sacredness; we also dive into the weirder waters of karma, the Pope's 'secret room' (or lack thereof), and the addictive drama of 'Squid Game'—because who doesn't love a good game of "what if?"
Before we ring in the New Year with promises of true crime and cinema reviews, let's take a sentimental journey to the heart of Pennsylvania. We're spinning tales of Harrisburg's iconic eateries and the ghosts of crab cakes past, sprinkling in fun facts that'll have you seeing the Keystone State in a whole new light. And with Nutley Nick's genius suggestion, we're gearing up to revisit the vinyl classics that had our heads banging to the beat. So raise a glass to the old days, the fresh starts, and everything in-between, and let our theme tune by Tsunami Experiment carry you into the new year with style.
