Sinopsis

P&C drink and review Pigweed's homebrewed porter then discuss squatter's rights. Can somebody just take over your house when you're on vacation? There's a famous case in Maryland where some "activist" has moved in to a $2.3 million house that had been foreclosed on. Can she do that? Who's to stop her, and how? "Adverse possession" is the technical word for squatter's rights. But it only applies in narrow situations. Not just somebody moving in. Social media has made this worse. People share the location of unused houses and help people take possession of these homes. Sometimes they then rent the property out to others. This is a daily occurrence in Baltimore. The boys also reply to letters on recent topics we've covered, including psychology, consciousness and AI, and mental illnesses. Pigweed also notices that other podcasts and shows are picking up our topics without giving us any credit. The boys end the show with a reprise of the Potomac River problem.
