139 - Mark Linkous Explains It All

Things get loose and levity reigns (mostly) while discussing things that don't cast a shadow. Standard Stateside corruption. Jason tests Josh's miserable understanding of the FBI's Guide to Internet Slang. World War III still can't be ignored no matter how much we may like to (sudden remembrance /slash/ recommendation: "Human Moments in World War III" a short story by Don DeLillo). Mike Tyson sells ear-shaped THC candies now. The Earth's burning at both poles. A man in Japan is making a living by actively doing nothing. Plentiful tangents abound.
