## Resource

Join Walter and his dedicated audience of "midnight misfits" as they tackle everything from the lack of MTA help in flooded New York City subways to the bizarre phenomenon of women banishing men to mildew-scented basement chairs. Expect hilarious rants and conspiracy theories, like Walter's firm belief that the Canadian "wildfires" are actually a massive industrial waste cover-up smelling of burning polymers.
