Dunkin Donuts is another one of those chains that lost it's touch a long-ass time ago.

Collecting vinyl records might just be the biggest waste of time and space possible... next to collecting cassette tapes, I guess? They collect dust, they get warped, you have to play 'em on a record player. Vinyl was a level of hipsterdom that we never got into. What's the appeal?

Opera has been lost on us basically our entire lives. Opera is something to parody, to make fun of, to look at from afar and say "That seems very boring and strange."

Nate Fernald really wanted to talk about it with us today!Na…

Diabetes is an epidemic in the US. Many people have died or lost limbs to the disease. We don't know what else to say because our understanding of diabetes is pretty limited.
