Summary
Ben tells Bob how Thai food became so prominent in the US and shares the story of the bizarre origins and sudden demolition of the Georgia Guidestones. Ben also gives an update on Hillsdale College President Larry Arnn's (of 1776 Commission fame) recent comments that teachers come from "the dumbest parts of the dumbest colleges in the country" and that he wants to "demonstrate that you don't have to be an expert educate a child because basically anybody can do it" (all of which he said as Tennessee Governor Bill Lee sat quietly next to him.)
