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...

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...
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).

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...
E58 - Delta Diarrhea
Chris got a new toy, life was weird in the 1980s, we talk about a midair explosion of sorts, and we read some listener emails.

E55 - Labor Day and Drugs
Happy Labor Day! We hope you celebrated in traditional American fashion: by taking advantage of sales at stores that made employees work on the very day that we’re supposed to celebrate them.
