The Goods from the Woods - Episode #273 – “Royalty” with Sameer Suri

In this episode, the Goods from the Woods Boys are joined by comedian and REAL LIFE "Valley Girl", Sameer Suri! Today, we're covering the recent late night fire at (adjacent to) Disgraceland Studios and Sameer's upcoming trip to do comedy India before moving on to our topic for the day: ROYALTY. We thought it might be fun to go down a list of Kings and Queens who died in funny or weird ways and see if we can relate. This episode is unbelievably funny and we hope you'll follow Sameer on Twitter @Suri_Sameer.  Follow the show on Twitter @TheGoodsPod.  Rivers is @RiversLangley  Sam is @SlamHarter  Carter is @Carter_Glascock  Dr. Pat is @PM_Reilly  Mr. Goodnight is @SepulvedaCowboy  Subscribe on Patreon for a Bonus Episode every week! http://patreon.com/TheGoodsPod Pick up a Goods from the Woods t-shirt at: http://prowrestlingtees.com/TheGoodsPod

The early vision for a borderless, unregulated internet has not panned out as its pioneers hoped. How to handle the “splinternet”?
