Description

Agh, we're so old now. So old that our episodes come out a day late. Because we're old and have a hard time getting around, you see. It also damages the quality of stream-of-consciousness rants, apparently. I have a big dessert thing I plan on bringing to work tomorrow to share, and I'm trying to figure out how to transport it there. For some reason my brain wants to devote more attention to that than to communicating to you, our dear listeners. And for that, I am sorry. Hopefully this episode makes it up to you, featuring two more listener emails, some milestones, an exciting announcements, and 3 riveting tales of guys. We hear about a paragliding enthusiast who brought the joys of his hobby to the masses whether they wanted it or not, an oil rig accident that went worse than even you probably think, and a random Soviet officer you've never heard of who saved all of humanity by keeping cool under pressure.
