Alternate Current Radio presents Boiler Room: Madhouse Recap — Missed Icebreakers & Recent Insanity.
After returning from Fire in the Mountains in Montana, Hesher reconvenes the Boiler Room with Ruckus, Spore, Mark Anderson and Mystical Pharaoh for a long-overdue clearing of the infamous Discord Ice Breaker Suggestion room.
The crew begins with mutant raccoons roaming Seattle and rescue robots built from scuba-equipped cockroaches before plunging down a much deeper rabbit hole involving AI data centers, energy consumption, surveillance infrastructure and technological dependency.
From there, it’s back into the Madhouse: extreme happiness sending someone to the hospital, betting on weddings, Kalshi and Polymarket, political corruption, alleged nuclear monster sharks, fried-chicken-flavored Oreos, a student pilot suddenly left alone in the cockpit, Viagra at the World Cup, brain parasites, Mexican Batman, begging robots, diaper fraud and the bizarre world of “electrosex.”
The plan was eventually to get to the serious news.
The Madhouse had other ideas.Featuring: Hesher, Ruckus, Spore, Mark Anderson and Mystical Pharaoh.
