asignificantgravitasshortfall asked: On your last show, did anyone bring up "sit toilets" vs "squat toilets"? I bet you've got at least one hippie/hipster listener who's into "squat toilets" for the "health benefits."

Hey Y’all: A good friend has just started up a new Tumblr devoted to all the stupid shit people buy and NEVER use. I just ‘fessed up to a pair of never-worn, if aesthetically-pleasing shoes. She is looking for submissions, so send her examples of your poorly reasoned purchases here.
Golly gosh, wish we’d thought of this. Oh, wait, we did.

Topic: Wished-for Cancer Causers
This week's topic made me recall this scene with...
Dr. Melik: This morning for breakfast he requested something called "wheat germ, organic honey and tiger's milk."
Dr. Aragon: [chuckling] Oh, yes. Those are the charmed substances that some years ago were thought to contain life-preserving properties.

Dr. Aragon: Those were thought to be unhealthy... precisely the opposite of what we now know to be true.
Dr. Melik: Incredible.
