Choice -

A brilliant & funny radio show that discusses the benefits of choosing not to choose in the face of overwhelming variety, in order to not overwhelm the brain....
Which basically can only handle 7 variables at a time.

The best part is the sound effect of an evil voice saying, "CAAAAAAAAAAKE!"
... and the part about the watermelon with an anus.

Forget free will, some important decisions could come down to a steaming cup of coffee.
