Two women in Santa Clara, California, are arrested for allegedly having sexual relations with 15 and 16-year-old boys met through social media. The report mentions that the suspects described themselves as "sexually deviant." John Dvorak shares a personal anecdote from his youth involving a similar encounter, sparking a discussion on the perception of male victims in such cases.
The hosts discuss the term "paraphilias" in the context of recent news stories involving authority figures, including U.S. Marines allegedly urinating on Taliban corpses and Pennsylvania state troopers accused of similar behavior toward a prisoner. They theorize that such deviant behavior is a symptom of extreme psychological stress and a loss of control among those in positions of power.

The upcoming DSM-5 manual for psychiatrists reportedly includes "socio-political deviance" as a potential mental disorder. The hosts compare this to George Orwell's "1984," suggesting that political dissenters like themselves or Ron Paul could be categorized as mentally ill. They joke about being on a list for "re-education."
