    This week, I see a movie that I can't stop thinking about, I visit the zoo and contemplate the meaning of happiness.

    Then we dive into the mailbag where your submissions trigger a long repressed memory of the time that I randomly went to a strip club all alone and what a strange and sad experience it was.

    This week, after an update on Oats, I discuss death, the perils of peeing and a take on a recent submission from an old friend of the show.

    Plus some WYR, and more demented and twisted topics from AFC Nation.
