This week on Between the States, the guys dive into some of the strangest laws still on the books in Massachusetts, Michigan, and Connecticut, and the bizarre history behind them.
From anti-silly-string ordinances and arcade machine limits to adultery laws, blasphemy statutes, drunk cable car rules, and regulations on margarine pretending to be butter, the conversation spirals into the weirdest corners of American law and local government.
Along the way, the crew also talks about:
• Allergy medicine disasters and accidental Sudafed overdoses
• Electric lawnmowers and the death of extension-cord mowing
• Rabbits with military-grade camouflage
• Squirrels relocating babies across the neighborhood
• Yard work, poison ivy, and New England rocks
• HOA conspiracy theories and white Christmas light rules
• Log Cabin Republicans and AI hallucinations
• Costco maple syrup debates
• What “Jared Day,” “Dan Day,” and “Noel’s Law” would look like
It’s a mix of comedy, weird history, absurd hypotheticals, and the kind of conversations that somehow go from cable cars to stoning punishments in under five minutes.
If you enjoy strange laws, ridiculous state regulations, off-the-rails comedy podcasts, and three friends arguing about nonsense, this episode is for you.
