Mike "The Minister of Misinformation from Mesa" brings the Southwestern heat down upon the co-hosts for flagrant lies, misinformation, and fake news!

Liz reads through the line-item list of offenses in the past month and it basically takes up the whole episode. So, If you love self-deprecating humor, this episode is for you (but you should fact check that first).

Also, Liz has tips to prank a co-worker with made-up office jargon, Evan goes off on P. Diddy and JayZ, and Rick calls Marjorie Taylor Green a c*nt without recourse.

Why do an average 75% of graduating class members NOT attend their high school reunion? Maybe it's nerves, maybe it's just a scheduling conflict, or maybe they don't want to bump into the teacher they slept with Senior year. Whatever the reason, Rick attended his 30th and explains why you're missing out if you don't go. Also, Christmas lights are great, but 9 out of 10 times, there's a stressed out Dad behind-the-scenes keeping them going. Also, Christmas tree bonfires, a throwback theme song, and an unexpected Peter Griffin drop-in. All this and more thanks to our dazzling sponsors, Perez Martial Arts, and Larkins Wine and Spirits.

Short on time and forgot to pack your cock ring for the business trip? Fear not! CVS has you covered. Cock rings! Dildos! Butt plugs! Stuff that vibrates! It's all there! Some people think it's a little much to have on the shelves at your local pharmacy while others applaud the move.

The whole show sorta has the "sex toy"vibe. What does that mean? We don't know, we just made the term up now. But, it can be described as this giddy, wordplay, puns abound conversation that is at least funny to the hosts.

Also, big shout outs to APC Pest Control and Park Street Books and Toys and The Pottery Place.

Hey, Scuttlebuds, thanks for your patience on this episode. We experienced some technical issues with the recording. Our apologies. The good news is we have since set up the studio equipment with the help of a professional, and the sound quality moving forward will be stunning!

In this episode, Liz starts by talking about her high school kid making $600 on a pair of sneakers...in a parking lot...to a random man...he connected with via the internet. Then, Evan talks about a dress-up event he's attending with his wife and the gang makes predictions regarding number of puking incidents etc. Rick follows up on his story about the David Letterman tickets he obtained by writing a letter telling the box office he was dying. He wrote a letter of apology and they sent him the best gift ever!

Big shout out to our super sponsors, Park Street Books and The Pottery Place, and Winslow Design.

Big Story: Some Keystone Kops apprehend a kid for going for a walk. Seriously. Mom is accused of being negligent.

Shit's going down in this Georgia small town!

Technology cannot be trusted to operate as designed. Therefore, it has jumped the shark!

How does one go into "settings" to program a device and have it perform beautifully...until it doesn't? Rick yells at the audio console, an inanimate object void of emotion and thought, for rendering his mic unusable again.

After that, things get underway with Evan's recount of his struggles with ordering beer in NYC (It's not as hard as he makes it sound).

Then Rick shares his brilliant idea of turning his kids' big wooden play structure into a chicken coop.

Finally, Mike the Minister of Misinformation from Mesa provides a deeper dive into where your body may go when you donate it to science. Have you ever heard of a body farm?

Rick and Liz shared observations from the 7th-grade dance their kids attended. That segued into middle school fashion trends. Liz reads an email from a listener that she hooked up with in high school! Then we show some love to our sponsors Perez Martial Arts, Royal Pizza, and APC Pest Control. Evan opens the second half beaming about the creative possibilities one can achieve with AI. Then, he wows us with some texts to his wife he co-wrote with AI for examples.

Let's get into the Halloween spirit. Is there anything creepier than a man sitting next to you at your table in a Subway restaurant? Liz Daly, a certified CSI enthusiast, breaks down the hair-raising encounter and everything that could have happened.

Evan anticipates a stressful situation at work but he's prepared and confident. Hear his wisdom and empowering message of why you cannot rely on other people.

Emails from your kids' school may get to the point faster if Rick's new crusade takes off. Hear how he is leading by example in his role of Grade 5 Room Parent.

Big Story! Evan is back from his golf trip to South Carolina where he was called the N-word by a black man. Then it happened again by a white woman recording him carrying his clubs, which begs the question, how was the golf?

David Ssewanaya grew up in a small Ugandan village where he attended school and worked on the family farm with his 22 siblings. Rick and Evan sit down for a conversation with David as he shares details of his journey toward becoming a United States citizen. They discuss the challenges of learning English, securing a first job, and bringing family together in America.

This episode has so many amazing stories. From fending off wild animals with a spear to seeking medical treatment from a witch doctor, you will probably have trouble recalling a moment in life when you faced similar inconveniences. That said, you may count that time the internet went down for ten minutes if it makes you feel better.

So, please sit back and enjoy a first-account comparison between a small village in Uganda and a small town in America because they are nothing alike. Then, after listening, go about your day with a renewed appreciation for some of our basics, like plumbing, electricity, and running water.

Don't get your panties in a twist, ladies; you will agree with the title of today's show.

We discuss creating boundaries in your marriage so you don't start pulling double duty by covering your expectations and your spouse's too! Rick, Liz, and Evan walk you through their recommended protocol for standing your ground.

But first, Liz's teenage son will be a millionaire in the secondary sneaker market, Evan is getting robbed by social media content thieves and Rick takes a hike into Isolation.

Special thanks to our sponsors this week, Larkin's Liquors and Winslow Design.

The show opens with top-of-mind perspectives. Liz pumps up her kid's teacher while talking about his high school forensics course, Evan just posted a viral video that has almost 2 million views, and Rick takes on jury duty. We pause and thank our superfluous Scuttlebutt sponsors this week, Park Street Books and Royal Pizza. In the second half, the hosts read an incredible story about what can happen when your HOA experiences a leadership vacuum. You can't imagine the heartless scumbaggery that can be achieved by some people. But rest assured loyal listeners, this story ends splendidly for the entire neighborhood!
