THREE MEN & A NASTY! This week we invite a special guest and old school regular "Kooks & Cranks" fixture, Matt a.k.a. "Mr. Nasty", as he joins the fellas to discuss the various potential dreamscapes and/or nightmare worlds presented by the advent of ubiquitous massive scale quantum computation (that is, if such a thing is even truly achievable). Tune in and listen to four increasingly inebriated individuals attempts to break down some super scientifical type shit! All this plus an all new "What's Weird This Week?" featuring therapy parrots, the unimpeachable integrity of Mark Zuckerberg, UK gravy wrestling, a nicotine addicted lake monster, & more! ALL OF OUR CALCULATIONS HAVE PROVEN THIS SHOW TO BE... OBJECTIVELY AAAAAAAWWWWWWWWWWESOME!

Opening theme: "Ghost Town" by Aves, also ft. instrumental music from "Tiffany Sequence" by Riz Ortolani, "B.O.B.B.Y." by The RZA, "Quando, Quando, Quando" by Englebert Humperdinck, "Back In The High Life Again" by Steve Winwood for some reason, & finally an excerpt from that "starspangly bummer" song as well.

CORRECTION! It wasn't Robert Fludd, but rather Ramon Llull, who developed the conceptual precursor of today's computers for The Vatican. Read all about him here...
