E64 - Antifreeze, Friends, Gas, and Guns
So how do you poison someone with antifreeze and get away with it? Apparently you don’t, as one North Dakota woman found out. Also, how many close friends do you have? It’s probably more than we do, but is that higher or lower than the average American? Also, the gas chamber makes a comeback in Alabama, and how do we deal with guns being made from 3D printers? A couple of states are answering that question by trying to ban the printers. Is that the right solution? Hosted by Chris a...

E61 - Pedophilia, Prostitution, and Your Face
Where do the protections of free speech end? For one professor, it ended when he argued that pedophilia is not morally wrong. The university he works for suspended him, and he has now sued. And speaking of pedophilia (which we both think is morally wrong by the way), how might it be looked at differently 100 years from now? Will it be similar to how society views homosexuality now versus how it was viewed 100 years ago? If science were to determine that pedophilia is not a choice, should futu...

E60 - Phone No-nos and Where to Go in Texas (or not)
Do you leave voicemails? Do you use speakerphone in public? Do you phub your friends or family? If you do these things, you have bad phone etiquette. Don’t sweat it, though, because we discuss the things you should and shouldn’t do with your phone. Also, the grammar police are back (that’s us), and Tripadvisor’s top 30 things to do in Texas (we have a different opinion). Hosted by Chris and Jeff1.

E59 - Don't Go There
If you’re considering exploring a cave that’s like 4,000 feet underground, please don’t. A lot of bad things can happen. But that didn’t stop Mark Dickey. We talk about his ordeal. Also, are you planning on traveling out of the country? If so, you should probably check the State Department’s travel advisories. And spoiler alert: don’t go to North Korea. Next, Jeff throws some famous movie quotes at Chris to see if he knows which movies they come from. And finally, we have two idiots who just ...
