Join us as we go back to the 1980's, when Satan was to blame for all of the world's ailments: war, crime, serial killers, rape, child abductions, etc... What affect did this have on our culture? And our music?! Was every deviant minded criminal out there just controlled by Satan? Were daycare centers the hub of an international child sex-ring? What did we (NOT) learn from the 80's that is happening right now in the 2000's? And will it continue to happen? Our very special friends and guests Chalice Blythe & Dex Desjardins join us for the 3rd time on this episode and give us plenty to discuss, laugh about and get pissed off about.
