Episode #53 - Are music festivals stupid? Caitlin Hal, Rucka, Mikey Bolts, Wasp Cream, Deadly Kites

Are music festivals stupid pieces of shit that are a huge waste of time? Writer and comedian, Caitlin Hal (https://twitter.com/caitlingwynne), an avid fan of music festivals. Caitlin is one of the most prepared guests we've had on the show, with actual notes and evidence. But I have evidence too: skirt twirlers. There are only 3 types of people who go to concerts, and terrorists are one of them. I prefer solitude when I listen to music in the comfort of my own car. Or bike, while I imagine the music instead of listening to it. Imaginations rule! Make sure to check out Caitlin's Instagram account: https://www.instagram.com/caitlingwynne/ Mikey Bolts (https://twitter.com/MikeyBolts) is back this week, well-rested and killing it with the mix on this episode. Also, unrelated to Mikey, Trump pays a short visit but decides to sit quietly on his stool for the duration of this episode. Rucka (https://www.youtube.com/user/itsRucka) agrees with me (I think), and has a very damning wrap-up about the year 2003. Bonus episode #2 is finally out, you can purchase it from iTunes (https://itunes.apple.com/us/album/maddox-vs-the-universe-2/id1233454674), Amazon (http://amzn.to/2qWhDCQ) and our own website: https://madcastmedia.com/shows/maddoxvsuniverse/2/ Also, a big you're-welcome to everyone who pre-ordered my book: F*CK WHALES: Petty Essays from a Brilliant Mind. The countdown has begun. October 17. Clear your year. Clear your life: http://amzn.to/2oiF2xi We finally round out the episode with a story of women putting wasp nests on their vaginas, and I'm vindicated for flying kites. Not only does kite-flying get you laid, it could get you killed. I brought in a gruesome clip from TOMO News, the Taiwanese company that makes 3D animation of news stories. I'd embed it but it's pretty gory. Linked below if you want to have a bad time. What do you think? Are music festivals stupid pieces of shit that are a huge waste of time?
