On June 15, 2011 Gillespie and Welch used short, rapid-fire videos to answer dozens of reader questions submitted via email, Twitter, Facebook, and Reason.com. In this episode, they answer the questions:
Serious Man:
"What should the new NHL team moving to Winnipeg (formerly Atlanta Thrashers) be named?"
Floridadoublue:
"When does the political vomiting stop?"
Voros McCracken:
"Matt, how do you feel about the death penalty, with regards to Dave Henderson?"
PokerGrump:
"Since Social Security is a failing pyramid scheme, why can't a congressman say so without getting grief?"
NYC Conservative (JG Altz): "Do you see any reason to be optimistic about the future of the United States?"
MCMoynihan via Twitter:
"Is it all just a game?"
