How Does Aquaman feel about Global Warmi...

SANSPANTS RADIO
About this episode
In which our heroes go under the sea, down where it’s wetter, where no body beat us, fry us or eat us and wonder what Aquaman would think of Global Warming. We fry some fish and make him watch, pump gas into the atmosphere to speed everything up and go whaling for research. Jackson's ancestors clearly don't understand how fire works, Zammit gets super scientific by consulting wikipedia and Duscher just wants to prove his dominance by throwing his rubbish in the bin. So join the gang as they freeze the sun to solve the problem once and for all. Want to live forever?
