Chen calls in with an extraordinary tale of mysterious government agents detaining him at work. The Baron writes in to ask about ancient metal from the stars.

In the modern day, many individuals define their lives in terms of large financial purchases -- buying a house, a home, or an appliance.

In today's episode, the guys dive into the troubling evolution of the "rent-to-own" industry, and what it means for the shift from an ownership society to a world of constant renters.
