Show Notes:
1. The International Brotherhood of Electrical Villains is just a funny name, not meant to smear IBEW or unions in general. The people who brought you weekends! Direct action gets the goods! Which side are you on? 

2. No, really, kinkajous have musk glands, live in Central and South America, and are alternately known as “honey bears” or “cuchi cuchi.” I have no idea what they smell like but I assume it’s not pleasant. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kinkajou

3. Companies that handle titles for real estate really are a parasitic but legal racket. I wish Castro and the Emerald Ash Borer could bring them down.

4. Alternate rejected titles for this episode were “You Don’t Have to Put on the Stop Light” or “Too Many Crooks.”
