(00:00-09:34): In a Tweet by The Daily Wire, Bernie Sanders answers a question at a town hall meeting essentially correlating abortions with population control and climate change.

(19:02-28:28): Some schools and teachers are implementing designated rest periods for students. We know a certain professor at a certain local institution, Marsha Vaughn, who is strongly advocating this method. (28:28-37:35): YOU KNOW WHAT REALLY GRINDS MY GEARS?? Brian and Ian continue this weekly rant about bothersome situations in their lives. Ian shared a story about a dishonest host at a restaurant, and Brian apparently hates pampered dogs. This is a heated segment, be warned. (37:35-47:42): This School Gives Students PE Credit For Doing Yard Work For The Elderly And People With Disabilities.

They think it’s a win-win situation: burning calories and staying fit while helping others and serving the community. (47:42-58:10): Dave Chappelle’s new special, Sticks and Stones, takes aim at the power of outrage mobs.

(58:10-1:08:04): These Glasses Will Physically ‘Nudge’ You If You Stop Paying Attention in Class.

(1:08:04-1:14:38): Brian and Ian’s “Weird Stuff We Found on the Internet”: A man in DC wasn’t happy with Subway’s service, so he took care of it himself. All the legends of the Loch Ness Monster are true...sort of. Holding charges are frustrating, but this one was the straw that broke this woman’s back, and OH THE HUGE MANATEE! Meanwhile, Taylor Swift fans are creepy. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
