Quality Hang Podcast w/ Rod & MarcusDavid Wants To DieMost of us want to live long lives. David doesn't. David hates being alive. He hates waking up every day. Imagine that the very thing that's a natural biological imperative to 99.9 percent of all living creatures is the very thing you despise. Comedian/actor David Shapiro makes it clear that he has zero interest in life. And the only thing he's truly unhappy about is being forced to live. This is a mezmerizing conversation with a man who simply feels like, "I've lived enough. Time to go." This is very mature subject matter.

EXIT INTERVIEWMARCUS CHENNEDY: NIGHT at the CAPITOL (ft. Tim Platt)(1991 - 2021) What a thriller this was. Marcus Chennedy, descendant of the famed Chennedy political family, was found dead last night outside of the Capitol building during a rainstorm in the city of transience. Chennedy, known for creating the "Boss B***h Campaign" that has sprung his aunt Senator Karen Chennedy headfirst into the 2024 Presidential Race, was often seen wandering the statuary hall of the Capitol, sometimes whispering sweet nothings to the cement lookalikes of his descendants. Weird, yes. But even weirder is the statue of Marcus that miraculously appeared last night on the top of the Capitol dome after his...
