Well, kiddos, we’re officially back from break. Thank Bob! Those pushups that Stephen did at the beginning of the show were quite impressive. This show was definitely jam packed with guests. I have to admit, every time I saw Dan Esty’s name in regards to being on the show, I thought “Is Stephen going to talk about homemade crafts?” Maybe I’m getting dyslexia in my old age. I wish I was kidding.
My favorite part of Better Know a Lobbyist was Stephen’s portrayal of a nuclear bomb going off. I think the little ice cream cart man was the cherry on top of that bomb. I also really enjoyed the interview with Cevin Soling and his discussion of schools. The discussion of school verses a minimum security prison was quite enlightening.
What was your favorite part of the show today?

- That passage is misleading, because I know for a fact you can f#!k somebody up with a pruning hook.

- Let’s get it down to only being able to destroy the world once. Any more than that, you’re being greedy.
- I don’t know what analogous mean, but you’re saying I’m right?
- Sanction, Bomb, or Marry? I give you the name of three countries, and you tell me which ones you’d sanction, bomb or marry.
- You, sir, are the bomb.
- What’s wrong with conformity? Conformity’s great, isn’t it? See, the majority believes that conformity is great.

- Stay in school, kids.
