The Evenfall Hollow Board of Tourism is happy to announce the re-release of our previously Patron-only Halloween Special "Ghost Toast" for free on Halloween! We don’t know if it’s a toast ghost, or ghost toast, but when I went to my doctor and asked about it, he thought I was just having a stroke.

Got a chance to try one of the new Dubai Chocolate Monster Java drinks today. How is it? Well let me take you on a journey so you can experience it with me. Put on some relaxing music, pop some cucumber slices on your eyes, and pretend you are enjoying a nice spa and manicure day.

Dear Arkansas: Tom Cotton doesn't live here. He doesn't care about any of us. He backed this moronic war in Iran. He lied about being an Army Ranger in the 75th Regiment. Such a tough guy, but can't even find the balls to debate for his position vs Hailey Shoffner. Why are you still voting for him?

Normalize not calling the police on people for what you feel is too many plates of Swedish meatballs and Princess cakes. And also, if you are doing a welfare check, stop asking questions right after they take a bite. I wasn't drunk, I was just choking on a meatball and the mace DID NOT HELP.

So I keep reading about how hundreds of millions of dollars are being spent on senate races and political TV ads that nobody watches. That's just in ONE state. How about, we take all these wasted billions, and use them to eliminate hunger and poverty? Fund Healthcare? literally anything else?

"So apparently Marty, the Hotdog Man, and Abracadaniel have formed some sort of media company since we left after the whole Doug debacle. And they have subsequently published an absolutely obscene amount of compromising photos and articles about me." EP: 28 Kompromat. Coming Thursday!

government: we're doing this to protect children from porn. government: we're doing this to protect kids from abuse. government: we're doing this to protect kids from violence. government: Hey kids, wanna watch a firing squad? Morgan Freeman: It was never actually about the kids at all.

Jeff Bezos: "Artificial isn't very flattering." [adjusts monocle] Now if you'll excuse me, I'm off to make sure workers are peeing in bottles and stepping over the bodies of coworkers! Yeah dbag, we're not anti-AI because of [motions hands around]. It's the unflattering label.

So is anyone else weirded the hell out by the media picking up the "I crashed my electric skateboard and then hung out with hung 6ft Jesus and he was white and loaded with testosterone" story? It went from "Sir, this is an Arby's." to International platform in record time.

"Honestly, I’m not sure what happened after that, but I woke up the next morning with a corner piece of a Walmart birthday cake, a cardboard birthday hat with polka dots on it, and I’m missing my right shoe. So how was your weekend Paul? What? Why the face again?" Ep 28: Kompromat - coming 10/15

Arkansas is: 49th in Crime and corrections 48th in income 47th in healthcare 36th in education What are Republicans angry about? Sarah Huckabee Sanders' isn't being racist enough. Hey Arkansas, can y'all try joining me in voting for someone not out to fleece us and make things worse? Thanks.

I haven't been to Wendy's since they tried to dynamically price a Baconator. Now McDonalds wants to give it a try right with [motions around] all this going on. I guess Taco Bell will end up winning the franchise wars after all.

Also special mention to Gran Turismo 2 which introduced me to the Lancer EVO VI and Skyline GT-R, which were the last steps to my becoming a full-blown car guy

"Yes Paul, I’ve thought of the billionaires. Muffin and I thought about them all last weekend in fact, while we were watching a documentary about the French revolution. You know I’ve been pronouncing it guillotine instead of gee-o-tine this whole time? Yeah like the L’s in tortilla" EP27: The Chât

I have been told I have an absolutely ridiculous music collection, and thought, after a few mentions from friends, that I'd start sharing what I'm listening to while I'm working. Feel free to give feedback and share some of your own as well!

Ep 27: The Chât, coming October 1! In the aftermath of the “Dougopalypse”, the Evenfall Hollow Board of Tourism crew embarks on an epic hike through the forest in search of a new recording studio, and proof that Phil isn’t crazy. Local Sponsor: Helen’s Bakery

Today's first scam text of the morning: Welcome! You will now receive texts from Harris and Harris, a debt collector on behalf of Oklahoma Turnpike Authority. to opt out reply STOP. [Blocks and reports as spam] No, I don't think I will. Stay safe and don't reply to scam texts folks.

As the world waits for AI to go full skynet, Aston Martin is like: Hey guys we made a moto-terminator. I like carbon fiber and billet titanium sure, but on paper this only weighs 28lbs less, and makes 3lb.ft/50hp less than my 11 year old Suzuki... But will cost as much as a house. I don't get it.

from personal experience, I can tell you that erotic mimery is perhaps the one field that really doesn’t work out here. So, you have pretty much two options: Become the host of a tourism promoting show, or become a fitness guru and make friends with Tom Petty. Either way, get that shingles vaccine.

I've passed the same school bus stop most weekday mornings for years now, and every time, I see a girl waiting for the school bus. Always alone, looking sad. Last week, 3 other kids appeared. Now when I pass, they're waiting together, and she's joking and smiling. more of this please, universe.

"Marty. Are you fixing this AI agent, or what? What do you mean you have no idea how it works? Is there like a check box to make it stop randomly saying moist? Okay... Marty says there is a check box for “Racist tirades”, and “Buy out PS5 stock or Pokemon cards”, but nothing about it saying moist."

Coming soon: Episode 26: "Moist" We grudgingly welcome our new coworker, an AI chatbot named "BetterPhil" to the show. Also, we take listener questions from the community, and discuss potential career paths for an erotic mime. Local Sponsor support provided by: Gary By Candlelight

It's easy to say "Haha! Fuck those Red states!" I live in Arkansas, and more of us voted against all this than you would think, and will continue to. But when state government systematically erodes your voice and vote at every turn, it ends up like this. Not everyone anywhere is anything.

"Listeners, it appears the Rapture has happened after all! Hold on. Slow down Pastor. Okay. Really? Listeners, out of the entire town, we appear to be missing but a single person. And this single person, this paragon of godliness… Is..." Episode 25: Enraptured, coming 8/15

"So listeners, I’m talking with Edith Cranstein who is currently selling everything she owns, including her house, because she will not need any of it. So Edith, how did you find out about the Rapture? Okay... So an online South African Preacher on TikTok?" "Enraptured" coming Aug 15.

It just took me 3 attempts to successfully reply to someone's post, and it really made me think. How far do you have to be in your day before you can officially say "naw this isn't working" and go back to bed?

"..the pastor was also at the Taco Bell during the clown debacle. Witnesses report that he hit one clown with a slipper and then accidentally got bear maced. I’m not laughing Paul. Okay. Maybe I am. Sorry Pastor. And thank you for the turnover. It was flaky and delicious." Ep. 24, coming on Jul 15
