The town of Guy, Arkansas, has experienced over 500 earthquakes since mid-September, a massive increase from previous years. Local residents and experts attribute the seismic activity to "fracking" (hydraulic fracturing) in the Fayetteville Shale. The hosts mock a local mayor's attempt to downplay the quakes and call for an end to the practice in the state.
