Enlightened Penguins

Should elective office be determined by lottery? Was Ayn Rand a man or a woman? Is The Running of the Bulls an OK thing? Is Brad Pitt is "the Drew Carey of Fight Scenes"? Why are names important? Could Netflix invent something that can tell when you fall asleep? Do you spend eternity in the clothes you are wearing when you're murdered? These and other questions are - if not exactly answered, at least - asked in this episode of The Manley-Danger Show. Oh, and something about enlightened penguins comes up as well. Good luck making sense of that one. ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy [https://acast.com/privacy] for more information.
