In this demo episode Steph talks about the Stanford prison experiment, it's horrible implementation and what it says about human nature. Ben rants a lot in this episode, thank God we got him a shock collar after this.

The experiment was discredited after this demo was recorded, which we discuss in demo # 8, which was episode # 32. The chronology of the demos is all weird.

We also talk about our favourite Halloween episodes of television and mention doing an episode about Halloween, which we did one year later. Spooky.

This week Steph tells us about Amway, a Multi Level Marketing company that is definitely not a pyramid scheme. Why you even ask that, the shape is a reverse funnel, didn't you do geometry in school? She informs us about the life destroying joys of becoming an "Independent Business Owner" and the politics of their cretinous founders.
