The one where Chelsea breaks down on camera and keeps it in the episode so you can see us walk the walk. THE TRUTH IS VIOLENT. We explore this in the film Wizards, by Ralph Bakshi. We also cover Jung's theory about the god Odin possessing the spirits of the German people, the symbol of the sword (or in this case, the gun) as a truth bringer, and why being a talking head is so fucking weird.
