Premise

The "host" of the show was Chuck Cirino, who was also one of the show's executive producers along with Todd Stevens and Arthur Maturo.
Cirino was the one constant of every show. He pops up in his landcruiser for a few seconds, setting up new segments of the show in his own eccentric way. He is known as the "comfort zone" of the show, as the subtitles during these segments tell you.
Also included in the program were clips Cirino had filmed from the Burning Man festival.
Segments include:
Another segment of the show includes stand-alone video pieces that are produced specifically for the show, as well as other video pieces sent in by viewers themselves.
These include:
The show was banned in Philadelphia and Wisconsin for broadcasting a stop-motion animated short about a squirrel defecating massively.
