Food Safety Talk 66: The IAFP special with Dr. Freeze
b"Ben and Don were on location in Indianapolis at the International Association for Food Protection annual meeting and the show kicks off with Don\\u2019s discussion of his script and playbook for the IAFP meeting. Don ate dinner at a place (Harry and Izzy's) that is not St. Elmo\\u2019s Fire and the guys decided that Rob Lowe looks the same as he did in 1986. Ben discussed his rule of three drinks, and Don does not subscribe to the same rule - which led to some tiredness. The guys were joined by Dr. Freeze who is not to be confused by Canada\\u2019s king of icees, Mr. Freeze. In discussing Ben\\u2019s new found obsession with the number 3 (like Jack White), Don shares 5ives, Merlin Mann\\u2019s list of fives (including #3 on the list of 5 guitarists who rock the three-note solo). Don\\u2019s continued use of his IAFP playbook as a prop leads to a dissuasion of Dungeons and Dragon\\u2019s, Canadianisms and the renaming of IAFP as science prom (where Don and Ben may take their bromance to the next level). Don alluded to the Florida Association for Food Protection\\u2019s requirement that Don dress up as a roach. A talk of accents let to a discussion of one of Ben\\u2019s current obsessions, FX\\u2019s Fargo with Martin Freeman. The group recapped Indianapolis happenings including Food Safety Talk guest Bill Marler's Ivan Parkin Lecture and the Oregonian\\u2019s Lynne Terry filing stories and tweeting from the meeting. The discussion went into some of the opportunities and challenges of having media actively attending sessions. The topic turned to non-traditional media, the 24 hour news cycle and clickbait lists including Buzzfeed. Don told a story about how a clip of him talking about food safety in China ended up on Al Jazeera. An age old discussion about the media (and others) getting science wrong led to Ben talking about an anonymous Twitter feed called IAFP no context. The discussion went into the War of 1812 (also known as the one that Canada won). In the After Dark the group talked about the Grateful Dead, handy folks and carpenters."
