Kill The Computer

Hey guys, in an ironic twist of fate, Patreon cut the last few mins of our finale short. I've fixed the original and reuploaded the last segment separately here.

In summary: all WK feeds will become KTC feeds, you don't need to do anything. Regularly scheduled content will resume in less than a week while June and I prepare

We loved making this show for you all and hope you stick around for what's to come.

Sorry about the technical snafu, I didn't realize it until this m...

Bonus - Ill Conceived Podcast: Promise Keepers: 700,000 Dicks Out for Jesus

This is the first episode of Ill Conceived, a new podcast from Josh Boerman from The Worst of All Possible Worlds and June Sternbach from Western Kabuki. Get new episodes every Friday in your favorite podcast client:

Return to Homieism Ft. Marcos

We were talking awhile back and it's been about two years since Marcos initially came on and discussed Radical Homieism with us. In that time, our audience has grown tremendously so we thought we'd revisit the topic. We also talk about the state of the world, and preview a little bit of Caleb & Marcos' new show, The Chiral Mindset (available only on the WK Patreon starting July). As usual for a Marcos episode, this episode is casual, meandering, and silly.

Left, right. It's all around you. Something that mimics both, but is neither.

Hold out your hand, child. The world offers its mirror, but the reflection twists.

What is, cannot be superimposed. Not your thoughts. Not your fate.

Not the blood-worn tangle of history looping behind your eyes.

Look up and sing, sing, sing, god damn you.

Welcome, traveler, to something you've always known but never stated:

The knot of reversed symmetry, where what you know and w...
