This one’s got it all—awkward trench buddies, a filthy flamingo, and a history lesson on torture devices you didn’t ask for (but can’t look away from). Billy Pilgrim is still stuck in the chaos of war, dodging bullets while Roland Weary lectures anyone who’ll listen about triangular knife wounds and Iron Maidens. Oh, and the history of the world’s first dirty photograph makes an unexpected cameo. Yeah, things get weird.

Things to Listen For:

Who—or what—is the filthy flamingo, and why is it hilarious and tragic all at once?
The life-changing arrival of “MF-er” into everyday speech.
Roland Weary’s Greatest Hits: creepy collections and over-packing like a pro.
How a Shetland pony and Greek mythology collided in a very wrong way.
A pitch for the Filthy Flamingo cocktail—shaken, not stirred.
