Dave Rubin joins Ana and Jimmy for SCS. A Univ of Arizona student does street preaching, provoking many people with his extreme slut shaming, blaming women for being raped. The Sultan of Brunei is in hot water after he’s supported severe Sharia Laws in the country. He owns the Beverly Hills Hotel, and the motion picture society has threatened to not hold Academy Awards pre/post festivities at the hotel due to his stance. A poll shows that a vast majority of Americans still believe in the death penalty after the botched execution of an Oklahoma man convicted of murder. A PayPal Exec was on a trip with co-workers, got extremely drunk, and tweeted disparaging things about his colleagues in a drunken stupor. The next day, his excuse was that he was testing a new phone, and that the test tweets were meant for a co-worker. A group of more than a dozen armed men showed up to a Jack In the Box restaurant, causing the employees to flee to the freezer and hide. After the police showed up, the situation was deescalated and the employees posed in pictures with the small army. A study showed that the more people pay for their meals, the more positive they rate the food. People were given the exact same meals, but charged more for one group, and that group gave positive feedback.
