About this episode

The episode discusses the comparison between hot dogs and hamburgers, the concept of free will, and a mishnah related to corpse impurity.

Finally, you all may learn our take on hot dog vs. hamburger and the mundanity of free will. Also, a mishnah in which when you try to be a little too specific, you really get bitten in the butt by corpse impurity.
