Dr. Russo goes into detail over his concern over the use of the word \"strains\" to describe varieties of cannabis, the Indica-dominant homogenization of cannabis-growing areas since the golden era of Acapulco Gold 50 years ago, and his appreciation of the Jefferson Airplane's 1967 album Surrealistic Pillow. Len continues his effort to win Jon over to the blues, Jon admits he's wary of another musical genre (not opera), Len details the adventures of negotiating the North Philadelphia neighborhoods home to both Penn and Temple universities, plus black lights, hiking while high, Van Halen posters, old Massachusetts houses, a new Keith Haring documentary, graffiti exhibits, and a list of some of the most notable sample-based albums. Plus another edition of Have You Heard, karaoke revelations, and Len's Venys Flytrap reference on this episode of Everything Is Personal. Oh – and an angry right-wing mob descends on the nation's Capitol intent on hanging the Vice President of the United States."}
