Love: Visual Encyclopedias
Andy and Alex return after an annoyingly long hiatus with an episode actually recorded some months ago (apologies for the Diane Feinstein reference), and Andy kicks it off with a discussion of Visual Encyclopedias. He discusses DK Publishing, who were responsible for some of the favorites, Alex spends a long time talking about Star Wars vehicles and weaponry, and the Scholastic Book Fair gets its due.
Hate: BMI
Alex takes his Hate time to rag on one of the worst of all fitness standards, the Body Mass Index. He relates exactly what it is and why it’s awful, Andy is again forced to discuss eugenics, and everyone is surprised to have the American Insurance Industry as the not-so-secret villain.
