Jan 2, 2025
The trio hilariously debates the cultural quirks of the Kombi tribe in Papua New Guinea, even touching on cannibalism. They explore the absurdity of dolphins with weapons and ponder reviving extinct species like mammoths. Their conversations meander through antique shopping mishaps, while a mischievous monkey sparks unexpected romance for a zookeeper and his wife. With a dash of humor, they reflect on modern-day heroes versus historical saints and the whimsical world of DVD collectibles.
