Mike and Nathan discuss radioactive contamination, CIA drones, Occupy Wall Street, the Keystone Pipeline lobby, Tea Party fundraising, Rick Perry, the new Arctic ozone hole, robocalls, net neutrality, aid to Palestine, and happy Twitters.

Mahler is a big fan of Sly Stone. Mike and Nathan consider Mahmoud Abbas, Troy Davis, Wall Street, Neutrinos, bank fees, Chinese rat poison, panda breeders, hand grenades for children, and bottlenose dolphins.

Government shutdowns, deficit-reductions, nuclear withdrawal, bacterial infections, SpongeBob SquarePants, love triangles, the world's largest sperm bank, indeterminate gender, testosterone levels, overinflated beliefs, and prescription drug abuse keep Nathan and Mike on their toes.

Mike and Nathan reveal that America is the coolest, a pipeline exploded in Nairobi, a man slaughtered a cow in his driveway, a severely drunk Swedish moose got tangled in a tree, Google used more electricity than Salt Lake City, the Authors Guild and writers from Australia, Britain and Canada filed a copyright infringement suit against the University of California, and Bank of America is downsizing.

Is Mahler picking up P waves? Is an earthquake coming? Nathan and Mike discuss the National Zoo, the first hot meals, Muammar Qaddafi, Rick Perry, Ecstasy as a blood cancer treatment, a brain-eating amoeba, Steve Jobs, Lou Gehrig's disease, and the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant.
