Scent of a Scandal:
Bill, Dan and Kevin welcome in Vince Press, who has been on the podcast before and worked with Bill in radio for a period of time. Bill talks about the school bus accident in Greece near Kevin’s house and says anything with a school gets us on the edge of our seat, as it should. Kevin knows details of the accident and fills everyone in. Bill asks about texts schools send out about lock downs and other concerning events, every parent sees these without being able to do anything. Bill tells about a school that was evacuated because of a horrible smell that made a handful of students ill, it turns out it was a fart spray prank gone bad. Kevin wants to bring fart spray in to find out how bad it really is, Bill said there is no need! Bill has experience with fart spray because when he was 14 his mother put it in his stocking, the results were awful! Bill call his mother, Marge, to verify the story. Should the age of consent be lowered? There is a story in the news of a 39 year-old woman having sex with a 16 year-old, Bill says in some States the age of consent is 16 and wonders if it should be in New York too. Do cases like this clog the court, under the bail reform law the 39 year-old woman can not be held, should she be? This not condoning specific behavior, but possibly more realistic. St. Patrick’s Day is coming up and Bill says St. Patrick not only spread Christianity in Ireland, but also education, which in turn saved civilization in the dark ages. Bill asks for excuses he may use to get out of going to a St. Patrick’s Day party! Vince tells about he and his fiance’s visit to the Sex Museum in New York City, which sounds educational, entertaining and titillating! Enjoy!

Bill thinks you can say you do cool things, but whether or not your cool is not determined by you.

A Jimmy John’s put a sign on the door that they were not accepting cash that day, but a video went viral of a customer filming a young employee saying he can not accept cash at the moment.
