Send us a text

Comic Books & Cold Ones is the codename for America’s dumb, highly inebriated, special podcast force. It’s purpose: Drink beers, talk $hit, relive 80s nostalgia. Yo, Beers!. Listen in as KMac and Yek along with their buddies JZ and Gempster conduct another Fantasty, Fantasy Draft. This time the classic 80s G.I. Joe cartoon. Drink along as we debate if Dr. Mindbender’s abs trump Lady Jaye’s pixie haircut, how nobody in the government paid attention to how accurate to reality Cobra’s schemes were, & why KMac was just the worst kid owning the USS Flagg Aircraft Carrier toy. As Cobra Commander always aid: “Listen or Perish, you Insolent Fools!”
