Duct Tape For Shoes (Episode #137 - Meanderings)

Published: Jan. 10, 2021, 6:45 a.m.

Maybe it is better to use duct tape for shoes instead of running barefoot? In this episode of 'Meanderings' Juan and I discuss: why a witches hat is the optimal shade protection, virtual reality so good that you wouldn't want to leave, people who are so optimistic that you can't stand being around them, the human characteristic of wanting to break something just to see what happens, why animals might actually be boring as all hell, the pointlessness of knowing lots of languages and the potential pain that comes from running barefoot.

As always, we hope you enjoy, Mere Mortals out!
