"This is the start of the future. I feel I don't feel this is the end. I feel this is just the beginning for us to go forward and go with the legislators to make a splash and say we are ready." — Heath Scott (paraphrased from transcript, referring to cannabis legalization)
The hosts begin by discussing the unexpected resurgence of VHS tapes, highlighting a case where a woman was charged with embezzlement for failing to return a VHS tape after 20 years. This leads into a broader conversation about media formats and the legal ramifications of old rental agreements. The discussion then pivots to a harrowing tale from China where a participant in a reality TV show called "Produce Camp 2021" becomes trapped and begs viewers to vote him off, inadvertently becoming a symbol of worker overwork due to his public plea for release. The episode further explores a disturbing dark web kidnapping plot orchestrated by a physician against his estranged wife, detailing the extreme methods requested and the subsequent unraveling of the plan. Lastly, the hosts touch upon various listener-submitted stories and news items, including an update on a man who accidentally severed his own finger while slashing tires, and a Japanese man arrested for dating 35 women to receive birthday gifts.
