Ben and Josh discuss the “dirty soda” craze in Utah and debate whether the closing of Joann Fabrics is of any consequence. They lament the death of the career of some poor schlub appointed by the DoD Inspector General to investigate the SECDEF Signal incident and reminisce on some of their own random additional duties. Josh finally finishes “A People’s History” and the hosts thrill in the cinematic pleasure that is Ben’s 2nd-favorite movie of all time: Master and Commander.
