In this episode, Loren, Shawn and Sam discuss the traditions that would later be amalgamated into Christmastime. Not an episode for children.

In this episode Loren, Sam and Shawn all discuss how private equity firms (a.k.a. Wall Street types) have gotten in the business of ruining businesses, providing worse customer service, and inflating the economy for profit while making us all foot the bill.

In this episode, Loren, Shawn and Sam discuss the science behind snake venom and those who dare to attempt to build an immunity against it, and how they may change the world.

Loren is joined by Sam as they discuss the zoot suit riots and the causes of the five day riots that spread across LA in 1943.

Sam, Shawn and Loren look at the Supreme Court Case of Hustler Magazine V Falwell. They begin by introducing a bit of a biography on both individuals before discussing the legal battle that ensued between them that endangered (and sort-of saved) free speech, allowing Americans to make fun of public officials and protecting parody as a 1st Amendment right.

Loren brings Shawn and Sam along for a discussion about the nefarious Agenda 21/Agenda 30 conspiracy and how it can neatly - yet wrongly - explain many other conspiracies.

Loren is joined by Sam and Shawn to discuss James Edward Baker Jr and the rise and fall of a hippy health food cult named The Source.

In this installment of the War On Women, Loren is again joined by Kelly and Allie to discuss marriage, no-fault divorce and incompatibility. They discuss the importance of no-fault divorce and take a look at some of the modern advocates of getting rid of it. They contend that the right to no-fault divorce is destroying the moral fabric of society by empowering women. We look into how they're wrong. This episode has a brief discussion of emotional abuse.
