In this episode of People Stuff, Dan and Michael discover what “no” really means by examining a disinclination to talk stupid politics, the idiotic cruelty of skipping childhood vaccines, and the misguided fear of Mexican food. If your name is Bartleby, if your condition is humanity’s, or if you would just prefer not to, this episode is for you.
