WOOOOOOOOOOO! WASSUP KOOOOOOOOKS! This here's the spiritual sequel/sister episode to "The Red Man/Red Dwarf" episode! In this episode, we take an analytical look at "Devil's Night" in Detroit...THEN WE GONNA SETS IT ON FIRE! Nah, but for real, we take a look at some of the old world "holidays", "festivals", and "celebrations" that center upon and revolve around the idea of controlled transgressions! Saturnalia, The Feast of Fools, Carnivale, Mardi Gras, Samhain, and others! Why would a city REPEATEDLY! keep trying to burn itself down to the ground? Also, as always, we gotta ask: "QUI BONO?"..."Who profits?" Give it a listen and maybe get a little bit closer to something like an answer. PLEASE TO ENJOY!
