Episode 109: Ed Mullins and the Terrible, No Good, Very Bad SBA / The Hallow Moon

Mar 3

Welcome to another Wednesday, Queerdos! We’ve got a heaping helping of hijinks and happenings for you this week. First, Kevin takes us on our inaugural voyage to the Rage Cage to infuriate us with the story of one of New York’s “finest.” It turns out that there’s a thin blue line between a business expense and wire fraud. Next, Edie beams us back up to the Fun Zone to talk about the Moon. What’s inside that thing, huh? So keep your receipts, break free from the prison of the five-sense reality, and get ready for this week’s show. Let’s dive in!
