Ben and Ana on the post game. He talks about why he named his female dog, Bob. His previous awesome dog, Rookie, died suddenly and he inherited his wife’s dogs. Since he wanted his own, he adopted a big German shepherd and liked the TYT phrase, “Wrong again, Bob.” Ben shows pictures of Bob playing. Ana gives herself props for not having a dog right now, even though she wants one. With this desire, but no time, she wants to come up with a business idea called Rent-A-Pet.

The Young Turks: September 22, 2014

Ana joins Ben for SCS. With the new release of the latest Apple products, they’ve made it much tougher for anyone, including law enforcement and Apple itself, to go through the owner's information. A Pakistani professor has been shot and killed for his moderate views that he openly espoused. Journalist LZ Granderson brought up the double standard of allowing Hope Solo to continue to play for US Soccer when she is facing a domestic violence case after she assaulted her sister and nephew. Ben sees the attention focused on Solo as a distraction, especially with the dangerous nature of her husband Jerramy Stevens. Clemson University had their students take a mandatory online questionnaire that asked very invasive and private questions about their sex life. These questions supposedly are relevant to Title IX compliance. Unexpected medical costs are coming down on patients due to out of network doctors coming in and doing work for the unsuspecting patient, sometimes while they are under anesthesia. A new app called Cuddlr is just like Tinder, except it's for cuddles rather than random hookups. Ben claims this is bullshit and that it’s just like Tinder, but eliminates the embarrassment for mature 30-somethings. Show notes by Jayar Jackson

Ben and John host TYT. A Climate Change march of 400K people occurred over the weekend in NYC. A 45 min audio recording from ISIS calls for their potential supporters all over the world to begin killing citizens in their own countries that support the Western invasion. Ben isn’t so sure that ISIS ever had any plans to attack us, but they do now. A Senior Admin official announced that some citizens that are currently being monitored have traveled abroad to fight with the Islamic group, and have returned. A poll showed that a majority of Americans feel that religion is losing influence on society. Also, numbers on how unhappy evangelicals are about the falling numbers and religious people that believe they are discriminated against due to their religious beliefs are examined. Ben talks about old local news insider stories. In Oklahoma City, a Satanic worshipping ceremony took place over the weekend and Fox’s Pastor Jonathan claimed it should’ve been shut down so as to not incite violence. A political ad portraying President Obama as a bad boyfriend has been circulated by Americans for Shared Prosperity. Disgraced cheating Rep. Vance McAllister has released an ad that features his forgiving wife. Ben is pissed that he is selling himself as a military veteran (with the perceived notion that he fought) when he actually didn’t actually see any action.
