Sex Symbol Oct 27, 2016

Show notes

Jared Hyams hesitated one day a few years ago when he was about to sign his name on an official government document. What's the point? What do they care? He drew a pretty rough depiction of the male genitalia and... well the story starts there. This episode of The Rule Book was produced and scored by James Milsom. This episode features interviews with Jared Hyams and legal expert Tex Moyer (not his real name). For the curious, Jared's driver's licence is here.
