Show Notes
- The Collyer Brothers were famous hoarders who died in the 1940s. There was a musical made about their lives.
- Aida is a Verdi opera, first performed in Cairo in 1871. Of course Phil pronounced it wrong. What did you expect?!
- During the episode Jake drinks a Picnic Lightning by Brouwerij West. It’s a top-notch Hazy IPA.
- Shop ‘n’ Wash was a laundromat & convenience store in Ukiah, CA. It's name is pure description, zero wordplay. Phil feels that laundromats should have some wordplay in their names eg "Get the Funk Out"
- "Escamoles" or "Mexican caviar" are ant eggs eaten as food by adventurous eaters like Micah.
- Phil referred to Shackleton’s Endurance as Sir Edmund Hillary going to the North Pole in the Perseverance. The wreck of Endurance was just discovered in March of 2022!
- "The Ride" by David Allan Coe is a 1983 country song about an encounter with the ghost of Hank Williams while hitchhiking from Montgomery, AL to Nashville, TN.
- Phil mentions Plagues and Pleasures on The Salton Sea, a documentary about the area. It's a very strange place both culturally and geologically.
