Summary

Dan has some helpful suggestions for the NRA! A woman saw a man exposing himself outside a family-friendly restaurant. She called the cops. Was this wrong?

And finally, Christopher Frizzelle from The Stranger talks about the amazing social/sex lives of orca whales and plight of Lolita, an orca trapped in hell for the past 40 years.
