Join us for a special emergency session of the EHM BS debunking council as we break-down Alexey Kovalev's investigation into one of the most hilarious Russian media hoaxes in years: a New York cantina serving a 68 ounce burger called the Putinburger in honor of President Vladimir Putin's 65th birthday. Also the debut of our rocking new theme song Zaderzhite Poyezd (Hold the Train) by Soviet 80s metal band Korroziya Metalla
