Surreality just got funky! Or "rude" I should say "Surreality just got rude" because this is a ska podcast, right? Anyway, "Scud the Disposable Assassin" is a top tier comic for, so over the top and fun and oddly, one of the easier episodes to find current music to fit the theme. Fun comic, fun music, fun episode! It's cool to be a ska podcast.

When I started off this nutty run of crossover episodes, I started w/ Josh from This I Know with Josh and Joe, so now it's Joe's turn to help me finish it off. I've known Joe since he was a baby. He's my cousin and I love him. I was going to make fun of him and put up super goofy picture of him, but I took the high road! Once you're done w/ this go listen to the hilariously fun podcast he and Josh do!
