The Deep Lore Boys kick off the new year by talking about Diogenes the Cynic, the legendary philosopher described as "Socrates gone mad." Next we take a trip downstream (a few thousand years later) to visit Naked Ned, the man who stripped down and went into the wilderness to fight for the Aral Sea. Finally to top it all off, we learn a valuable lesson from the Cleveland Balloonfest of 1986: just don't.
