Along the way, we also discuss the "seedy underbelly" of youth sports, whether college athletes should simply be employees of their universities, and Sen. Pugh's thoughts about effective economic development in Oklahoma. And James & Emily let loose on the Federal Drug Administration's (FDA) regulation of sunscreen.
