Happy Hitler’s death day!

This song is from our collaborative album “Everything Is Great” - out now everywhere.

“Price Of Eggs”, from our brand new album “Everything Is Great!”. Out now everywhere!!

A meticulously documented political journey.

Written by @theburninghellband , @carsieblanton, and @_joeplo_. @thecurleyorgan on clarinet and various doohickeys. Mixed and mastered by @dougraus, special thanks to @fjkilkelly .

Video directed by @thehumanbeastbox, DP @dougraus , puppets by @theletterjess , puppeteers @sperocor and Z!

EVERYTHING IS GREAT! Out now on all platforms! A song for those who sit around and talk about what we should do if the President’s insane and starting WWIII and we’re living in a death cult and everybody knows that L**gi was right.

Big ups to @_joeplo_ @arielsharratt @dougraus for the song, and to @thehumanbeastbox @shiftyshepherd, @sperocor @theletterjess and more for the video, puppets, and puppeteering.

Incredible honor to win this award for The Early Show With Alax @earlyshowalax 🏆 🤩

Once again, a few visionaries in key positions said ‘yes’ to this amazing show. And once again, puppets crushed all competition.

It feels so amazing to represent puppet power on this level, all while having a real and positive impact on families. Our work is rarely acknowledged but has an outsized impact culturally and socially (who hasn’t been transformed on some level by @sesamestreet or @themuppets ?)
This show was a rare chance to combine puppet, improv, parenting and interview skills all in the form of this marvelous fuzzy blue being, Alax! 👾 🛸

Thank you to our incredible team
