The scandals just keep on coming with this week's topic of Derrick Jaxn and his wife Da'Naia Jackson.

It's an interesting time to be alive as NASA brings religious scholars for help with aliens. The strange keeps on coming as a man posts billboard ads looking for a wife.

The answers are a bit more complex than the last time, but they definitely come from a deeper frame of thought.
