Ep. 135 Propaganda / New Slang: Love Bomb

Scott and Steve discuss the origin and history of the word
"propaganda", starting with its propagation (get it?) in the
Counter-Reformation era Catholic Church and lots of Italians to
its modern day pejorative meaning from World War I. And,
logically, this discussion brings up Hitler, Zorro the Gay Blade,
a Cardinal nicknamed Chito, and Neil Young's burgeoning career in
MMA.


For New Slang, Scott discusses the term "Love Bomb."
