2. Radiohead has returned to the United States to rock. One of the biggest regrets I have in life right now (besides exes, my college degree, and so on) is that I have never seen Radiohead in concert. They're usually too far away for me to justify going to see them, and that's pretty much the only reason. I have traveled far for bands that I don't even like just because my friends loved the band.

Hell, my parents had Led Zeppelin, The Doors and The Beatles. I have Radiohead.

In fact, gender stereotypes affect all of us, regardless of our gender, gender identity, or sexual orientation.

4. Rick and Morty take on the funniest courtroom transcript of all time. A quick back story: The State of Georgia Vs. Denver Fenton Allen is a case about a man who is accused of murder in the county jail. Allen comes to court to complain that he's not getting everything and that he only got a 4-page indictment. It starts off normal where Allen doesn't want to work with his court appointed attorney because he claims he's withholding evidence. The discussion soon spirals into insanity. Here's a bit of
