Episode #62 - Are kids stupid idiots who should STFU? Austin Blank (https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/the-burning-of-soup-flavored-blankets#/), Rucka, Mikey Bolts, Martin Shkreli, Poles

Are kids stupid idiots who should STFU? Debate starts at 18:49. We're joined by Austin Blank, who came to debate the merits of kids, and ended up getting a science lesson (along with Rucka) from yours truly. It turns out that the most contentious issue we've ever debated on this show is "what is a microbe?" Turns out that the definition is up for debate, and everyone gets schooled by me.

I wore this around all day and started making decrees by late afternoon: https://www.etsy.com/shop/mattesonleatherworks And here's the crown in action (more pics on @mattesonleatherworks Instagram page https://www.instagram.com/p/BXbberAFy2y/): https://www.instagram.com/mattesonleatherworks/ Click on the image to check out the terrible reviews of Soup Flavored Blankets on Yelp: https://www.yelp.com/biz/soup-flavored-blankets-black-rock-city-3 Boy is it ever time for Rucka's (https://www.youtube.com/user/itsRucka) science corner. There were a lot of liberties taken with scientific facts this episode. Plus a promotion for Mikey Bolts (https://twitter.com/MikeyBolts)? It may be long overdue, but we're leaving it up to the audience to decide. Weigh in below on what you think his title should be, if he gets enough votes.
