109: Lick a Knife, FTX Bust, Abominations, Thanks from Del, You are so Lucky

Published: Nov. 18, 2022, 8 a.m.

Del explains the proper way to lick a knife. Is any way the proper way? Don't try this at home.

Dave is unable to stump Del about the FTX debacle and SBF, the latest billionaire whiz kid who was not as smart as everyone thought he was. Caveat emptor.\xa0 Bucks forecast this on June 9, 2021 episode [sort of]. Go back and listen, send us your thoughts.

Del ups the ante as he quizzes Dave about an unjustly labeled mythical creature that roams the Himalayas. Del would like to rename the abominable snowman the little hairy mountain fairy.\xa0 Your thoughts?

Del ponders the meaning of Thanksgiving, turkey-eating, and whether a little man in a boat who has only smelly fish to eat is celebrating Thanksgiving. Dave uncovers a trend in southwest Pennsylvania to have frittatas instead of turkey.

Dave gives a book report on A Series of Fortunate Events: Chance and the Making of the Planet, Life, and You by Sean B. Carroll. Excellent opening on the asteroid that wiped out the dinosaurs and paved the way for the evolution of man.\xa0 Middle gets a bit bogged down in genetics, base pairs, lucky and unlucky\xa0 mutations; well-written but down the rabbit hole t time. Ending is an excellent compilation of quotes from various "famous people" that the author skillfully weaves into a discussion interview.\xa0
3.5 stars.
