August 22, 2021 James D'Amato 01:18:56 Comments Off

James, JPC, Brad and Alex struggle to remember the convoluted character histories they created together just moments ago.

419. Heart Beats Part 2

August 9, 2021 James D'Amato 01:07:59 Comments Off

Can heart transplant surgery cure homophobia? Will an underappreciated sibling’s ruse impersonating their more attractive counterpart result in bliss or disaster? Will a daring risk-taker perform a dangerous exploratory surgery to satisfy a medical insurance provider in a dark quid pro quo? Can something terrible please happen to Huckamule Kidcutter who is just THE WORST?

CONTENT NOTE
This series draws a lot of comedy from inappropriate conduct in a medical setting. James’ character repeatedly references losing child patients though no children are hurt in the course of the actual story. There is also frequent reference to how broken the US healthcare system and particularly health insurance is.
