The boys start the show with a glass of "off dry hard cider," then dive right in to your questions and comments.

We got a lot of reactions to our show on Catcher in the Rye. Raven and Pentamom don't like the book, while Heathen Abbey loved it. They had very different opinions on whether reading it would make kids want to read or make them never want to pick up another book.

A related question on the same theme: a listener asked what a "catcher in the rye" is in any case.

We also had questions about the origin of the name "Longinus." It's not what you think.

Some listeners wondered about "the war on beauty," and we got another example of a word ruined by the left.

The boys end the show with a difficult question about persecution of the Jews.
