Episode 219: Axed and Answered

Episode 219

21st July 2015

Jen brings the case against her boyfriend Adrian. Adrian has his heart set on buying and displaying an “artisanal axe” in their home. He says it would be a beautiful and practical item to own. Jen says it breaks her rule against having weapons in the home, and opens them up to other beautiful but dangerous items — what’s next, decorative swords??
Who’s right? Who’s wrong? Only one man can decide.
