Brace your olfactory organs, because this episode focuses on dirty, dirty hippies! The guys discuss the origins, meaning, and various connotations of the word hippie, and even introduce a new game called "Are They a Dirty, Dirty Hippy," where Scott presents Steve with people and asks Steve to rule on whether or not they are in fact, well...you get it.

In addition, Scott and Steve reveal their favorite preppies of all time and the surprising origins of the word "nerd," which trace back to one of our most controversial American authors. Listen now and find out why you should never leave your wallet at home when going on a date (or Home Depot) with Steve.
