YDHSpoilers: How's the Lieutenant and What's His Port of Call?

He's bad. It's New Orleans. YDHQ delves into the Werner Herzog oddity Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans, a neo-noir crime drama (black comedy?) starring Nicolas Cage, Eva Mendes, and Xzibit, along with Val Kilmer, Michael Shannon, and national treasure Jennifer Coolidge. We have questions, starting with "Why the shit is the title so long?"

Doctor, Husband, Podcast, Spy

What's up with all these spies? Did they really love me? Have we no sense of decency? The history of Russian espionage in the west, and especially "Illegals"--spies who operated without diplomatic cover. We get into Kim Philby and the Cambridge Five, Klaus Fuchs, the Rosenbergs, Hanssen and Ames, and the more recent clown shows.

Your Doctor Has Answers! Squirt It Like You'll Hurt It (High Pressure Injection Injuries)

What is a high pressure injection injury, and is it bad? (Spoiler: Yes. It's very bad). Following our quinquepisodinal* tradition, Kacy explains high pressure injection injuries. You might have heard them called "grease gun injuries." In short, it's when a high pressure fluid squirts with such force that it cuts into your body and shoots that fluid into you. It's nowhere near as sexy as it sounds. *I'm making this a word now. Sources: M.C. Cejin, A. Koyfman, B.

What is the Fed?

Finally! The Fed! Top 3 friend of the pod Jamisen joins us to explain what the Fed is, what it does, and why we should care. What is a central bank? What's fractional reserve banking? What's the interest rate that everyone cares about? Should we audit the Fed? And, like, what is money anyway? We answer some of these questions on this show.

YDHSpoilers: How Neon Is Your Demon?

YDHQ takes on the 2016 glitzy, arthouse oddity, The Neon Demon and somehow lives to tell about it. The Neon Demon is the tenth movie by Danish weirdo, Nicolas Winding Refn, who's probably most known for his 2011 film, Drive, starring a young and taciturn Ryan Gosling. Demon stars Elle Fanning and features some truly awkward performances by Christina Hendricks, Keanu Reaves, Jenna Malone, and a couple of hungry Australians.
