Some music mentioned in this episode:

We’re amazed that nobody hit upon this solution earlier: pay the teachers less! Roger Douglas is a man with a vision. Also, stupid laws and embarrassing musical purchases round out this episode.

In this episode, Dan and Dave discuss the perils of sino-vexiphobia (look it up – I had to), and how YOU can avoid getting roughed up by goons on the steps of your country’s house of elected government. Also in the news; MORE HIPPIES:
