In this episode Rusty and Milky take on the subject of Comedy and the people who make us laugh.

First Cosmic Bank - Where Buddha Saves
A lovely fake commercial resurrected from the Insanity Palace Comedy Archives, created around 1972 at KTUH but played often at KPOI-FM. There were several variations recorded, all growing out of the idea that if your karma had to be accounted at the end of your life there had to be a bank for it...

A really old piece of satire from the early 70s created for Insanity Palace while at KPOI-FM. Restored from an old 60 second broadcast cart, fidelity is a little low but somehow sounds good on computer speakers. Now you know where the idea for Dick and George's Used Carnage Lot came from!
