So how do you poison someone with antifreeze and get away with it? Apparently you don't, as one North Dakota woman found out. Also, how many close friends do you have? It's probably more than we do, but is that higher or lower than the average American? Also, the gas chamber makes a comeback in Alabama, and how do we deal with guns being made from 3D printers? A couple of states are answering that question by trying to ban the printers. Is that the right solution?  Hosted by Chris and Jeff  1.     Topics0:00:28    Welcome/Intro0:00:37    Disclaimer0:01:06    Sweet Murder0:08:04    Can You Count Your Friends?0:21:43    Another Gas Chamber0:34:00    PYOG (Print Your Own Gun)0:42:15    Contact/Rate/Subscribe 2.     Additional ResourcesThe Antifreeze MurderThe NPR friends articleNPR article on the Alabama executionArticle on the CA bill banning 3D printers 3.     Merchandise/Support the Showhttps://www.subpartalks.com/support/https://www.subpartalks.com/p/store/ 4.     Contact Us/Follow Us/Rate/Subscribe New episodes every week! Listen, rate, follow, and subscribe wherever you listen to podcasts! Follow us: Website:  https://www.subpartalks.com - for anything related to the showTwitter:  @subpartalksFacebook:  subpartalks 5.     CreditsSubpar Talks Theme Music: Get Airy! by Sergei Chetvertnykh: SergeQuadrado | PixabaySubpar Talks transition music: Jingle Clean Guitar Funky and Rock Style by Shiden Beats Music: ShidenBeatsMusic | PixabaySupport the show

Where do the protections of free speech end? For one professor, it ended when he argued that pedophilia is not morally wrong. The university he works for suspended him, and he has now sued. And speaking of pedophilia (which we both think is morally wrong by the way), how might it be looked at differently 100 years from now? Will it be similar to how society views homosexuality now versus how it was viewed 100 years ago? If science were to determine that pedophilia is not a choice, should future societies stop treating it as a psychiatric disorder, as they did with homosexuality in the 1970s? And finally, we talk prostitution and discuss a very scary facial recognition website.  Hosted by Chris and Jeff 1.     Topics0:00:24    Welcome/Intro0:00:33    Disclaimer0:01:03    Pondering Pedophilia0:37:21    Proliferating Prostitution0:49:00    PIMEYES0:53:23    Contact/Rate/Subscribe 2.     Additional ResourcesThe New York Times articleExplanation of why the Dallas law was struck downPimeyes 3.     Merchandise/Support the Showhttps://www.subpartalks.com/support/https://www.subpartalks.com/p/store/ 4.     Contact Us/Follow Us/Rate/Subscribe New episodes every week! Listen, rate, follow, and subscribe wherever you listen to podcasts! Follow us: Website:  https://www.subpartalks.com - for anything related to the showTwitter:  @subpartalksFacebook:  subpartalks 5.     CreditsSubpar Talks Theme Music: Get Airy! by Sergei Chetvertnykh: SergeQuadrado | PixabaySubpar Talks transition music: Jingle Clean Guitar Funky and Rock Style by Shiden Beats Music: ShidenBeatsMusic | PixabaySupport the show

Do you leave voicemails? Do you use speakerphone in public? Do you phub your friends or family? If you do these things, you have bad phone etiquette. Don't sweat it, though, because we discuss the things you should and shouldn't do with your phone.

If you're considering exploring a cave that's like 4,000 feet underground, please don't. A lot of bad things can happen. But that didn't stop Mark Dickey. We talk about his ordeal. Also, are you planning on traveling out of the country? If so, you should probably check the State Department's travel advisories. And spoiler alert: don't go to North Korea. Next, Jeff throws some famous movie quotes at Chris to see if he knows which movies they come from.

We hear a lot about the insanity defense in murder cases, but the reality is that it's hardly ever used and even when it is, it's hardly every successful. But what does it mean to be “insane?” This week we look at a current case juxtaposed with the assassination attempt of Ronald Reagan, and learn how the insanity defense changed in this country. Also, what are the most widely read books of all time? Chris had the unenviable task of venturing into a government office, and we end up with some questions.  Hosted by Chris and Jeff 1.     Topics0:00:27    Welcome/Intro0:00:36    Disclaimer0:00:59    Murder or Insanity?0:17:03    Remedial Reading0:31:43    Government Encounters0:39:19    More From The Book of Questions0:51:40    Contact/Rate/Subscribe 2.     Additional ResourcesThe Taylor Schabusiness storyTen most read books in the world  3.     Merchandise/Support the Showhttps://www.subpartalks.com/support/https://www.subpartalks.com/p/store/ 4.     Contact Us/Follow Us/Rate/Subscribe New episodes every week! Listen, rate, follow, and subscribe wherever you listen to podcasts! Follow us: Website:  https://www.subpartalks.com - for anything related to the showTwitter:  @subpartalksFacebook:  subpartalks 5.     CreditsSubpar Talks Theme Music: Get Airy! by Sergei Chetvertnykh: SergeQuadrado | PixabaySubpar Talks transition music: Jingle Clean Guitar Funky and Rock Style by Shiden Beats Music: ShidenBeatsMusic | Pixabay Support the show

First up, we focus on airplane passengers: one who was unruly and another who fell 10,000 feet and lived. New York and New Jersey are in a spat, Jeff talks Boardwalk Empire, and Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg might fight. Yes, like physically (fingers crossed).

This week, Chris has some helpful air conditioner info for this God-forsaken, hot summer. Next, we look at two Supreme Court decisions: first, we examine the aftermath of the Supreme Court's abortion decision from last year; and second, the court also broke with precedent in deciding that race can no longer be used as a factor in college admissions. Is this a good thing or bad thing, and how will colleges respond to the ruling? And finally, it seems that there's a push from employers to get their workers to return to the office, even though studies show that workers are happier working from home and are just as—if not more—productive out of the office.  Hosted by Chris and Jeff 1.     Topics0:00:28    Welcome/Intro0:00:38    Disclaimer0:01:07    My God, The Heat0:08:10    Abortion Aftermath0:23:22    Affirmative Action No More0:38:31    The Debate Rages On0:54:01    Contact/Rate/Subscribe 2.     Additional ResourcesThe aftermath of DobbsGeorge Carlin on abortion Opinion pieces on what to do about college admissionsGallup poll results on working from home 3.     Merchandise/Support the Showhttps://www.subpartalks.com/support/https://www.subpartalks.com/p/store/ 4.     Contact Us/Follow Us/Rate/Subscribe New episodes every week! Listen, rate, follow, and subscribe wherever you listen to podcasts! Follow us: Website:  https://www.subpartalks.com - for anything related to the showTwitter:  @subpartalksFacebook:  subpartalks 5.     CreditsSubpar Talks Theme Music: Get Airy! by Sergei Chetvertnykh: SergeQuadrado | PixabaySubpar Talks transition music: Jingle Clean Guitar Funky and Rock Style by Shiden Beats Music: ShidenBeatsMusic | Pixabay Support the show

Happy Independence Day! Our forefathers died so you could sit around, eat hot dogs, drink beer, and listen to great content, so do your patriotic duty and turn up the volume as you stuff your face. The American Dream: we've all been told about it, but is it a reality or a myth? Chris brings us a top-ten list (Jeff is happy) of patriotic songs, and Jeff has a list of his own, which shows us that the percentage of Americans who don't believe in basic facts is alarming.  Hosted by Chris and Jeff  1.     Topics0:00:27    Welcome/Intro0:00:36    Disclaimer0:01:08    Independence Day Activities0:02:32    American Dream: Myth or Reality0:13:03    Top 10 Classic Patriotic Songs0:32:53    Top Pop Patriotic Songs0:42:30    Dumb Americans0:54:13    Contact/Rate/Subscribe 2.     Additional ResourcesThe Newsroom clipGeorge Carlin on the American DreamThe Washington Post March Stars and Stripes ForeverBorn in the U.S.A.: America's Most Misunderstood Rock AnthemHow Dumb Is America: Ten Things People Actually Believe3.     Merchandise/Support the Showhttps://www.subpartalks.com/support/https://www.subpartalks.com/p/store/ 4.     Contact Us/Follow Us/Rate/Subscribe New episodes every week! Listen, rate, follow, and subscribe wherever you listen to podcasts! Follow us: Website:  https://www.subpartalks.com - for anything related to the showTwitter:  @subpartalksFacebook:  subpartalks 5.     CreditsSubpar Talks Theme Music: Get Airy! by Sergei Chetvertnykh: SergeQuadrado | PixabaySubpar Talks transition music: Jingle Clean Guitar Funky and Rock Style by Shiden Beats Music: ShidenBeatsMusic | PixabaySupport the show

As usual, we're coming at you with a lot of topics this week. We discuss the ill-fated submersible in the North Atlantic and discuss another world record. Chris informs us of something else we need to be fearful of. We also touch on an interesting thread Chris found on Reddit: what is a luxury today that once was viewed as common?

We had two notable deaths recently, and Pat Sajak announced his retirement. We have a fat twins update, and some guy set a new record for the most time spent underwater. Al Pacino—at the ripe old age of 83—is set to become a father. Chris tells us about his trip to D.C. and whether he observed proper airplane etiquette. And finally, we talk Maisel, Succession, Suits and Jury Duty.  Hosted by Chris and Jeff  1.     Topics0:00:00    Welcome/Intro0:00:36    Disclaimer0:01:05    Notable Deaths0:12:04    Pat Sajak and Game Shows0:19:19    Fattest Twins Update0:21:50    A New Guinness Record0:26:12    Fatherhood Again?0:30:50    That's 2 For Trump0:33:23    DC Update0:48:55    Binge-Worthy TV0:54:23    Contact/Rate/Subscribe 2.     Additional ResourcesThe Pat Robertson crazy quotesStupid game show answersThe guy who broke the underwater record 3.     Merchandise/Support the Showhttps://www.subpartalks.com/support/https://www.subpartalks.com/p/store/4.     Contact Us/Follow Us/Rate/Subscribe New episodes every week! Listen, rate, follow, and subscribe wherever you listen to podcasts! Follow us: Website:  https://www.subpartalks.com - for anything related to the showTwitter:  @subpartalksFacebook:  subpartalks 5.     CreditsSubpar Talks Theme Music: Get Airy! by Sergei Chetvertnykh: SergeQuadrado | PixabaySubpar Talks transition music: Jingle Clean Guitar Funky and Rock Style by Shiden Beats Music: ShidenBeatsMusic | PixabaySupport the show

First up, we recall the time Jeff had an unfortunate beer incident. Then, we ponder a couple of questions from Reddit, Chris confronts an unwanted visitor, and we discuss the impeachment of the Texas attorney general Finally, for our big topic, what is good airplane etiquette? Should you remove your shoes on a flight? What about your socks? Who gets which armrest? Is it acceptable to recline your seat?

This week, it's a topic shotgun blast.

As Molly Ivins said, “The Texas Legislature consists of 181 people who meet for 140 days every two years. This catastrophe has now occurred [88] times.” She also quipped, “All anyone needs to enjoy the state legislature is a strong stomach and a complete insensitivity to the needs of the people. As long as you don't think about what that peculiar body should be doing and what it actually is doing to the quality of life in Texas, then it's all marvelous fun.”  With that in mind, we look at some bills currently making their way through the Texas Legislature. Some will probably become law, some will not, and some are just idiotic. Have a listen and marvel at the peculiar place that is Texas. But first we share a listener email that calls us out for our lack of knowledge.

Only Subpar Talks is brave enough to transition from sandwich talk to ancient sex toys to food lawsuits. That's right. We wet our feet with a little discussion of sandwiches, discuss a 2000-year-old dildo, and then look at some really interesting lawsuits involving food. Among other things, listen and learn about the McDonald's coffee case, why Papa John's can say their ingredients are better, why you might want to shy away from Skittles, and why you might want to sniff your drink at Crackle Barrel before you take a sip.  Hosted by Chris and Jeff  1.     Topics0:00:00    Welcome/Intro0:00:33    Disclaimer0:01:05    Meal Dilemmas0:04:06    Beware of Splinters0:10:23    Food Lawsuits1:04:14    Contact/Rate/Subscribe 2.     Additional Resources18 of the Most Interesting Food Lawsuits of All TimeThe McDonald's coffee case, from the American Museum of Tort LawA compilation of Mayor McCheeseThe original Pepsi ad with the jetThe second Pepsi ad (notice the different amount at the end, which they changed after the lawsuit) 3.     Merchandise/Support the Showhttps://www.subpartalks.com/support/https://www.subpartalks.com/p/store/ 4.     Contact Us/Follow Us/Rate/Subscribe New episodes every week! Listen, rate, follow, and subscribe wherever you listen to podcasts! Follow us: Website:  https://www.subpartalks.com - for anything related to the showTwitter:  @subpartalksFacebook:  subpartalks 5.     CreditsSubpar Talks Theme Music: Get Airy! by Sergei Chetvertnykh: SergeQuadrado | PixabaySubpar Talks transition music: Jingle Clean Guitar Funky and Rock Style by Shiden Beats Music: ShidenBeatsMusic | PixabaySupport the show

Time is everything. It dictates our lives—when we go to sleep, when we wake up, and when we have to be at work. But what is it? According to the experts, its simply an illusion—a social construct that can change simply based on mass and gravitational pull. This week, we try to understand this theory by, among other things, fumbling through the theory of relativity. We also look at some books and movies about time travel, including our favorite, Back to the Future.  Hosted by Chris and Jeff 1.     Topics0:00:00    Welcome/Intro0:00:34    Disclaimer0:01:11    Pondering Time0:05:18    Relativity Theories0:11:12    Time Dilation0:18:26    The Illusion of Time0:22:20    Time Travel Possibilities0:26:57    The Greatest Time Travel Movie0:40:28    Other Contenders0:47:11    Time Travel Books0:50:51    Contact/Rate/Subscribe 2.     Additional ResourcesAsk an Astronomer (time gravitational dilation)NPR: Researchers Say Time Is An IllusionO'Reilly Auto Parts—the Flux Capacitor!Back to the Future original trailer  3.     Merchandise/Support the Showhttps://www.subpartalks.com/support/https://www.subpartalks.com/p/store/ 4.     Contact Us/Follow Us/Rate/Subscribe New episodes every week! Listen, rate, follow, and subscribe wherever you listen to podcasts! Follow us: Website:  https://www.subpartalks.com - for anything related to the showTwitter:  @subpartalksFacebook:  subpartalks 5.     CreditsSubpar Talks Theme Music: Get Airy! by Sergei Chetvertnykh: SergeQuadrado | PixabaySubpar Talks transition music: Jingle Clean Guitar Funky and Rock Style by Shiden Beats Music: ShidenBeatsMusic | PixabaySupport the show

The world population is now almost eight billion people. We have some bad student stories. And finally, Mt. Everest is one of the most dangerous places on Earth. Many people have tried to climb it. Some succeed, but many don't. Many are irreparably injured, and some never return—their bodies left in the snow and ice to serve as guideposts for future climbers.  Hosted by Chris and Jeff 1.     Topics0:00:00    Welcome/Intro0:00:39    Disclaimer0:01:14    Fireball Fury0:06:32    To Jury Or Not?0:08:16    Population Explosion0:18:04    Stupid Students0:30:48    Mount Everest0:40:32    Contact/Rate/Subscribe 2.     Additional ResourcesThe Fireball lawsuit explainedTen surprising facts on the world population (from 2018)Into Thin Air: A Personal Account of the Mt.

The 20th century saw some of the most groundbreaking inventions that changed the world as we know it. From the airplane to the creation of the Internet, these inventions have transformed the way we live, work, and communicate. One of the top inventions of the 20th century is artificial intelligence (AI), which has revolutionized the fields of medicine, finance, and transportation, among others. AI is a form of technology that can learn, reason, and even make predictions, bringing us closer to a world where machines can perform complex tasks without human intervention.  If you think this isn't a big deal, consider the fact that AI wrote what you just read! Hosted by Chris and Jeff 1.     Topics0:00:00    Welcome/Intro0:00:39    Disclaimer0:01:10    Technology Perspective0:03:51    Top 20 Technologies of the 20th Century0:42:42    The Personal Computer Era0:53:07    Contact/Rate/Subscribe 2.     Additional Resources31 Inventions of the 20th Century That Changed the Course of HistoryChatGPT 3.     Merchandise/Support the Showhttps://www.subpartalks.com/support/https://www.subpartalks.com/p/store/4.     Contact Us/Follow Us/Rate/Subscribe New episodes every week! Listen, rate, follow, and subscribe wherever you listen to podcasts! Follow us: Website:  https://www.subpartalks.com - for anything related to the showTwitter:  @subpartalksFacebook:  subpartalks 5.     CreditsSubpar Talks Theme Music: Get Airy! by Sergei Chetvertnykh: SergeQuadrado | PixabaySubpar Talks transition music: Jingle Clean Guitar Funky and Rock Style by Shiden Beats Music: ShidenBeatsMusic | PixabaySupport the show

Happy Valentine's Day! But we're celebrating with a bit of a twist. President's Day is close, so why not combine the two and discuss some amorous activities of our White House occupants? We all know about Marilyn Monroe and Monica Lewinsky, but which one of our presidents had an affair with his sister-in-law? And did you know that one of our presidents was probably gay?

In 1983, a single mother in Florida wrote a how-to-murder book titled, Hit Man: A Technical Manual for Independent Contractors. A decade later, a man used this book for instructions on committing a triple murder. Can the families of the deceased hold the publisher liable, or is the publisher protected by the First Amendment?
