The Chris Rawle Show

A house in SLC is stockpiled with trash and everybody's favorite Get is on the case: Get Gephardt. Chris and Meg rename themselves as Garry and Gail. Despite the efforts of Get, Garry, and Gail, nobody can make these hoarders clean their own trash and taxpayers keep footing the bill. They determine the trash house mystery to be unsolvable and move on to counterfeit money. Why is it so easy to make and why aren't we all doing it?

In Episode 58 Eli and Meg talk about The Downton Abbey movie, a movie where nothing happens and it's better for it.

Self help books are the scourge of the earth. One in particular is touting insane ways to avoid technology, like making a price pact where you pay money to another for using your phone. A long discussion is held about fu manchus, mustaches, and couples that bar each other from dressing in a certain way. Investors money is lost and no one sheds a tear. A world-renowned duck caller is now the QB of the Pittsburgh Steelers. And for Hero or Not Hero: taking pictures.

Utah hosted a bunch of events this week and we concentrate on the biggest: "Banned Books Week." Libraries take a stand against those who are angry about various books: loggers vs "The Lorax," fathers vs "Hop On Pop," and perverts vs "James And The Giant Peach." A spider licks her lips and a town in Wisconsin faints. Vaping is all the rage and even bighorn sheep are getting in on the act. Jerry Jones throws around some old timey insults. And today's Hero or Not Hero: the NBA and Rockets GM Daryl Morey.

Against all odds, week three is in the books. A UTA employee steals $300K in coins and exchanges them at Wal-Mart. A woman goes on a date to Antelope Island where she is tossed high in the air by a buffalo. Her date was also attacked by a buffalo earlier this year. How is this even possible and why do these people keep hanging out with buffalo?!?!? A billboard plays porn and no, it has nothing to do with Cosmo. And for Hero or Not Hero, we revisit a buffalo date gone wrong.

Utah is reducing charges for a boatload of non-violent criminals. An opinion column starts to tackle the issue but devolves into closeted wolverines and ointment rubbing. Somehow it's crazier than it sounds.

The NYT interviews a bunch of wealthy 20-somethings who wonder why they have to work at all. Can we all just work when we want?!?! Some companies are offering this "flexible" scheduling as a perk to employees. Chris and Clint are confused. When someone is giving the choice between work or no work, doesn't everybody choose no work?

Eli, Meg, and special guest Jordyn Canady of the Girl Meets Show podcast discuss the 1996 classic That Thing You Do. They wonder what happened to the Oneders. Maybe Capn' Geech And The Shrimp Shack Shooters.

For the second straight week, the legality of topless women is discussed. A pending court case in Salt Lake has all the twists and turns of a topless thriller. Who was topless, who knew, and what is the fallout? A cross-country flight stops in Utah because of toilet problems. A woman cons young teens out of baked goods with counterfeit money. And somebody's STD test is sent to an unsuspecting woman who ordered wooden crafts.

In Silicon Valley, skin is thin. Chris and Clint tackle the subject of apologies: who wants them and who gives them? They offer to write anyone's apology, then discuss the worst quote the world has ever been given. No, most people aren't trying to make the world a better place.
