E51 -Planes, Scams, and Overrated Places
First up, we focus on airplane passengers: one who was unruly and another who fell 10,000 feet and lived. New York and New Jersey are in a spat, Jeff talks Boardwalk Empire, and Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg might fight. Yes, like physically (fingers crossed). And finally, what are some scams that have become normalized, and what are the most overrated places in America?

E53 - Insanity
We hear a lot about the insanity defense in murder cases, but the reality is that it’s hardly ever used and even when it is, it’s hardly every successful. But what does it mean to be “insane?” This week we look at a current case juxtaposed with the assassination attempt of Ronald Reagan, and learn how the insanity defense changed in this country. Also, what are the most widely read books of all time? Chris had the unenviable task of venturing into a government office, and we end up with some questions.
