318: Meth Tower & Pits Balls Butt
Summary
Hosts Gareth and Jake discuss their show's "Dick Tracy era" momentum, referencing recent high-profile guests like Fred Armisen and Liz Merriweather. They then field listener calls, starting with a park ranger who is battling a suspected meth user hanging hemorrhoid suppository wrappers on trees; the hosts advise her to conduct a stakeout rather than confront the individual. A second caller seeks advice on convincing her husband to teach their toddler more than the bare minimum of showering, leading to a humorous debate about hygiene standards and a new song for washing.
