The Best Debate in the Universe - Journalist Kurt Eichenwald recently had a man arrested for sending him a GIF that induced a seizure. That started a debate on whether or not you can assault someone with a GIF. So the debate this week is: CAN YOU ASSAULT SOMEONE WITH A GIF?

Can you kill someone with a GIF? Comedian Ron Babcock joins the debate this week, right on the heels of launching his #1 bestselling comedy album, "This Guy." Ron argues FOR weaponized GIFs, while Southern Lawyer Maddox makes an appearance. Plus we discuss the horrors of seizures and how a Disneyland trip of mine got cut short due to one. Here's Ron's new comedy album, and a certain Armenian satirist's arm made an appearance on the cover of this album. See if you can guess which one:

Here's a great animated clip from the album:

Finally we round out the episode with a really shitty Cristiano Ronaldo bust, rivaling Lucille Ball's from last year. Here they are side-by-side:

And here's my buddy Smearballs' (Nick DenBoer's) video rendering of the bust:
