Walk into a curious chapter of Midwestern law where metaphors collide with statutes. In this episode we follow the trail from the odd—shooting fish with a gun or explosives is outlawed by Indiana conservation code—to the almost-mythic: one town’s old rule that black cats must wear bells on Friday the 13th. We unpack which claims are ceremonial, which are lightly apocryphal, and which are codified and enforced.

Along the way we recount the sober reality that skiing while intoxicated in Indiana carries the same penalties as an OUI on the road, and how everyday vibes meet real-world verdicts. Tune in for surprising stories, legal twists, and a teaser toward Iowa’s own eccentricity—margarine under suspicion.
