Special thanks to Litzy Gutierrez and Johnno Cary for story research! -
The Hangman’s Ape & The Elephant Execution
Luis tells Kurt two wild stories about animal cruelty. Hear me out; it's not what you expect.
Whether it's animals facing capital punishment, or animals doling out capital punishment, this episode goes into the dilemma of whether or not we should punish crime with death, while never actually providing a solution. Classic white men with a podcast, am I right?

Angel's Glow & The Cosmic Bit Flip
Is it a miracle or is it a laser beam from the sun? We're not afraid to ask the tough questions on this podcast! In this episode, Kurt tells Luis about the Civil War era legend that might've been solved with science & what a rigged election, a plane falling from the sky, and a Super Mario 64 speedrun all have in common.
