QED 2018 Private Show with guest rogue George Hrab; Audience Q&A; Personal Heroes; Science or Fiction

Nestlé is the world's largest food and beverage company, and it's no surprise that an entity this large would, at some point over the decades, become embroiled in a controversy or two. However, according to critics and numerous advocacy groups, Nestlé has a dark side that goes far beyond the occasional ethical misstep. Join the guys and special guest Lauren Vogelbaum, host of Savor, as they unravel the story of Nestlé's cover-ups and conspiracies.

This week we're breaking out the big guns, except not really because one of the greatest horror movies of all time ain't got no guns. Just some ineffective flamethrowers misused by some schluby rockhoppers. Best in class on all fronts, Alien! We're mixing it up with the 2003 cultural touchstone The Corporation. A book/movie about how corporate persons are functionally sociopaths. We attempt some pushback on that, which goes about as well as the pushback humans give in the corporation dominated Xenoverse. And if just one alien isn't enough nightmarish space rape for you, we're doing Aliens's next week. It's Thomas's first time, so lets all pressure him to liveblog it. While we're chatting, what sort of rock is worth carrying through alien infested space? Or is the mining thing all a clever ruse?! Okay, here's some links:

Recent appearances: Thomas is off at QED, appearing to British people or something. Aaron's going to be on an upcoming episode of Utah Outcasts, so keep an ear out for that. Help us out by convincing people they should totally have us on and then we can turn them into pod people like you. (I really try to make it worth it for the folks who read all the way to the end)

In this episode, the Goods from the Woods Boys are joined by guest host, comedian Sam Harter in a discussion about the joys of summer camp with our guest, comedian Evan Kessler. With summer just seven months away, this episode could not be more timely! We also talk about Evan's time managing the Top 20 Countdown as a segment producer over at VH1 in the golden era of that network when Vanessa Carlton's music filled the air and the butt rock flowed like wine. This episode is the perfect thing to get you out of any late-Fall slump you may find yourself in. If you listen to this pod, you'll build bonds and friendships that you'll never forget or however that Stacey Q parody went. Follow Evan on social media @EvanJKessler. Rivers is @RiversLangley  Dr. Pat is @PM_Reilly Sam is @SlamHarter Mr. Goodnight is @SepulvedaCowboy  Pick up a Goods from the Woods T-Shirt at: http://prowrestlingtees.com/TheGoodsPod

A (perhaps) much-needed refresher course on last year's gratitude minisode. As a friend of a friend's hairdresser once said: "It's hard to be hateful with a plateful of grateful." Is it? In this pre-holidays quickie episode, Alie is grumpy as hell and decides to research the neuroscience of gratitude. Does it work? Who's studying it? Does she need to buy a journal? Find out how jotting down things you don't hate on the back of a receipt or opening a secret Twitter account may be worth more than whatever you get in your office Secret Santa exchange.

What should people be allowed to say online? What sort of control should states or private entities have over images, concepts, speeches and other content created by individuals, groups or the public? Join the guys as they explore the controversial phenomenon of censorship, from moments where it's arguably necessary to times where censorship functions as conspiracy or cover-up -- ultimately asking how censorship works in the future.
