Reid Baker returns for some back-and-forth on Evergreen College and how that controversy illuminates different approaches to equality.  We also discuss Colorado's Masterpiece Cakes legal battle and how we would prepare our underground bunkers in the event of an apocalypse.

Note for chapter skippers: Our first segments runs about 20 minutes this time instead of the typical 15.
