This week our good friend Aaron Eves stops by and demands that we talk about Richard Heene, best known as the father in the 2009 “Balloon Boy” incident. Is Richard really the conniving, fame-hungry manipulator he was portrayed as by the media? Or is he merely an extremely unlucky guy who likes to invent bizarre contraptions? Enjoy!
ALSO: lots of David Cronenberg stuff!
