Jen Easterly (maiden name Jen Koch) was my first girlfriend back in Maryland, when we were 14. She's a genius. A Rhodes Scholar, one of the smartest people I've ever known. I guess she's not qualified for Trump's moronic government. Must have said something to piss off the ass-kissing idiots.

"I'm sorry. I can't go through with this. I can't get it off my mind, Allison. It's obsessing me! It doesn't make any sense! Why WOULDN'T Trump's name be on the Epstein list? It HAS to be on the Epstein list. I mean, even I knew Epstein! And Trump REALLY knew him!"

A Poolesville, Maryland man discovers a portal into another fantastical world, much like Narnia, and then promptly fucks it all up. John Waters plays an ex-con sea creature with a strangely recognizable Baltimore accent by the name of Winky.

StanLand is out now. A five-part audio comedy about a fantasy world that’s being completely swallowed up by capitalism. Vape shops, department stores, for-profit business colleges. It's The Chronicles of Narnia meets Eastbound & Down.

What if a Narnia-type world became over commercialized with vape shots, fast-food restaurants, and EDM concerts?

What if it became Ocean City, Maryland?
