Summary: Brenda opens the show with a work story about a little prepaid mistake involving a hoity-toity District Attorney. Somebody mentions a drive-by cleaning, but we're not sayin' nothin'. Next, Snarky Facebook posts: ThatPeterG rants about a friend of his who posted a snarky comment on Facebook he deemed objectionable. Also some discussion about the ads that come up on our Facebook accounts and how Peter found an ad for a trampoline on his Facebook (it's possible Peter had been previously looking at trampoline porn). Another rant: Toppie Smellie provides a brief rant about drivers who don't know what to do at a four way stop. Next; Dr. Wesley P. Stone leads a discussion about vanity license plates. Facebook peer pressure: The Shit-Listers also discuss the recent Facebook peer-pressure phenomenon of using the red equal sign as an avatar. This leads into a discussion of the value of wearing ribbons or other symbols to express solidarity with a cause or concern. Salt rocks and crystals: Brenda launches a discussion about cholonic cleanses and other detox myths involving deliberate false health claims. FUCK DR. OZ! Mark in Canada discusses a gall bladder remedy he swears by, but Toppie is skeptical. More discussion about the validity of such practices as chiropractic care, and acupuncture ensues. Podcast recommendations: The gang offers podcasts they like. Toppie recommends a recent episode of "This American Life" concerning a discussion about welfare, disability fraud, and how different states handle people on disability. Mark recommends "The Judy Cast" and "Radio Lab" . Brenda recommends the "Dana Gould Hour" and "The Bugle Podcast."
