Summary
All Aboard The Val Verde Crazy Train with Chandler Dean Val Verde's $15 billion transit miracle has 13 riders, zero credibility, and one communications director who really should not be allowed near a microphone. Stephen Ribble arrived at the Rock & Roll RV to pitch the Val Verde Crazy Train to a skeptical public. He came prepared with talking points. He left under police escort, seated in an oversized rocking chair, having admitted to a pattern of automobile-related incidents that spans at least a dozen municipalities. A triumph for public transit outreach. Chandler Dean (comedian, host of Abolish Everything ) joins Whisp and Geoff as Stephen Ribble, a polished former Department of Transportation spokesperson who has somehow become the worst possible face of a civic infrastructure launch. Also on this week's broadcast: Michael Danny Honey returns. Whisp reveals a long-buried truth about soft-rock heartthrob Michael Danny Honey and confirms the reissue of the classic Where Am I Supposed to Park My Car? Traffic with Art Spart. Art attempts to report on Crazy Train conditions while fully absorbed in his Twitch stream. It's Sonic time, baby! Big Truck rides the rails. Broadcasting live from onboard the Crazy Train, Big Truck describes the experience as less "modern infrastructure" and more "county fair Gravitron operated by a man who took too much coke." VerdeChan investigates. Whisp and Geoff excavate local message boards, where Ribble has been accused of cult behavior, bloodsucking vampirism, and several things that are genuinely hard to categorize.
