Hijinks in Britain, Jake and Jon discuss.

First thing you must realize is that the cocoa powder is not water soluable, it's fat soluable. Use whole milk if available or half and half, as a decadent philistine would. If the powder just clumps or won't get "wet" by the milk, you are not using an alkalized ("dutch-processed") powder. The clumping also tends to increase with finer powders-- if you can find a brand closer to granular that will make it easier although some like the final experience less. With fine powders there is less air space between the particulates for the milk to flow into. It can be frustrating. Without high fat content you are not getting a solution so much as a suspension: the powder or granules are merely mixing uniformly as a result of vigorous shaking or stirring. For me the high level of commitment and work throughout adds to the ultimate satisfaction of special drink, something neither God nor science intended.

Blame Sillimander for this episode about the Pendleton Maximum Security Prison which has partnered with the Animal Protection League to start a new cat-based FORWARD program which imports cats into the prison behind the walls. Proponents point to relief for animal shelters and rehabilitation benefits for inmates. Seems like a perfect situation-- or does? Don't worry, Jon has a story from inside the walls that will ruin all your faith in the program. Jake Joke included.

A documentary made in 2017 paints a picture of a facility in Gainsville Texas as made of caring people who are making a difference in the lives of at risk kids. As it turns out the school has critics at all levels-- the State Senate, non-profit advocacy groups and the United States Department of Justice. If Gainesville is having to punt on every possession- who is really to blame? Jon and Jake take the critics to task for complaining rather than helping.

In Texas' Gainesville State School, a juvenile detention facility and not-traditional school has a great idea: high school athletics. Half school, half prison, a small group of people dedicated to reforming kids-- a superintendent, principal, coaches, correctional officers-- set up organized football in order to develop their focus and discipline, goals and ability. These kids are success cases in the making, recognizing that it was their own poor choices that got them here but recognizing that although they fumbled their last drive, they have the ball again. This time, no excuses.

In Polk County Florida, an off-duty Correctional Officer saw a suspicious male near children waiting for the bus. The stranger grabbed an 11-year-old girl, kidnapping her. Cops run towards danger when others merely dial 911: he ran after him, rescued the girl, and performed an arrest until police arrived. Now he's using his recognition to tell the County Commission and the community about the unknown heroes among them. In other news, Correctional Officers killed on 9/11 may better rest in peace after a foundation has taken care of the families left behind. And a sneak peak at an upcoming Netflix Doc you cannot miss.

Jon returns for a solo episode-- that's right, it's full divorce and it's split custody and this is your weekend with dad. In this episode Jon talks about the 23 indicted in OPERATION NIGHT DROP, a federal investigation into drones flying in and out of Telfair and Smith State Prisons. Also in the news, Monkey Pox breaks out in Iowa, and Diet Satan Wade Wilson receives two death penalties for being a son of a bitch down in America's Wang.

Jake and Jon take down an informative article about Pakistan that India-toucher in the Indus Valley region of the far east-middle east, or western far east, or whatever, and talk about how the Islamic Republic puts down their bad dogs. But in a country that executes blasphemers of the Islamic religion and homosexuals-- who are the bad guys in Pakistan, anyway? Jon and Jake relax and enjoy one more for the road.

It calls itself "America's Finest City." Hidden away in San Diego is the brig at Naval Base Miramar and it has a dark secret: they ship in all the sex offenders from all over the military to serve time there, then they cut them loose into the community. Through a quirk of the law Jon can only describe as "typically federal," these sex offenders aren't having to notify anyone that they've infiltrated the community.

An impromptu live with Jake with news, updates and of course Jake Jokes.

Richard Matt and David Sweat were discovered missing during a morning bed check at the maximum security Clinton Correctional Facility in Dannemora, New York. The two had tunneled out, and exited through a steam pipe, and disappeared like farts in the wind. Instead of taking twenty years, it took merely ten-- and significant assistance from two staffers compromised by sex, money and complacency. A listener request.
