Ep. 123 - Chasing the Dragon and Sword of Damocles

This episodes starts with Scott explaining why he is not like
those other nerds who are into swords and dragons, and then
explains that Callandor is a magical, crystal sword which can
only be wielded by the true Dragon Reborn.


Next, the guys discuss the history behind the phrases "Chasing
the Dragon" and "Sword of Damocles." They talk about how heroin
was introduced in the United States and how the origin of the
word gives a clue into how sometimes the best intentions give way
to disastrous results.


This episode also contains the latest edition of "Prison Slang
with Mindy the Dog," some hygiene advice from Steve, and a word
in New Slang that is so awful that Scott and Steve had to take a
break from the show to regroup before continuing.
