Coming to you from somewhere in Wyoming, possibly in a city motel that charges by the hour, it's the political orphanage, a home

for ideological nomads, misfits, and nice smart people who drink nuance for breakfast and then

pour a few ounces of nuance into their gas tank for good measure.

I'm your host Andrew Heaton, and by the time you hear this, I will be at Burning Man.

Don't worry, I'm bringing a hat.

Today's program is brought you by the Pet Snake Travel Case from Serpent

Co. If you're like most Americans you have at least one Pet Python and you know what a hassle it is to try to get old

slinky from point A to point B. Many a day I've wasted trying to take a pet snake

for a walk only to have it wriggle out of the leash and disappear into a convalescence home.

I don't know if you've ever tried to train a pet boa constrictor to respond to verbal commands.

They're a little bit more responsive than your average cat, but good luck convincing your boa constrictor to hop into the back of your car when you need to go to the snake convention.

Well, good thing Serpent Co makes a handy pet snake travel travel case which is basically a long hollow

pool cue. Just slip your adorable five foot reptile into the travel tube, snugly

tighten the snake's neck collar, and presto you've got a snake stick you can easily carry around.

I don't think I have to tell you that you will be the envy of all the other scout leaders

when the tenderfoots notice that your walking stick has a hissing snakehead poking out of the top.

And you'll be the bell of the ball at Comic-Con this year when you show up as a mystical sorcerer who has an honest to God

Cobra head thrashing around the top of your scepter just hissing and

thrashing and spitting as if you've trapped a demon inside of a stick.

And if it ever gets loose, it will kill with deadly abandon.

How cool is that?

The good folks at Serpent Coe know that no two snakes are exactly alike,
