  • Hauntingly Dimwitted

    Listen to this show to hear a bunch of oafs confidently state incorrect things about stuff that doesn’t matter. I have been brought to tears (multiple times!) by the unparalleled idiocy in these episodes.

    Whenever the world gets too scary and complicated, I pop in a few earbuds and listen to these knuckle draggers confidently state they know every animal or try or figure out where their sinuses are. By the time the episodes end, I’m smooth brained and clapping like a trained seal.

What is Plumbing the Death Star about and what kind of topics does it cover?
