Speaker 1: Welcome to Stuff to Blow Your Mind, a production of
Speaker 1: My Heart Radio. Hey, welcome to Stuff to Blow your Mind.
Speaker 1: Listener Mail. My name is Robert Lamb and I'm Joe McCormick.
Speaker 1: And it's Monday, the day of the week that we
Speaker 1: read back some of the messages that you've sent in recently, Rob,
Speaker 1: if you don't mind today, I think I'm going to
Speaker 1: start off with a response. Wow, this was a quick turnaround.
Speaker 1: This is a response. We already got to part one
Speaker 1: of our series on The Seven Day Week, which ran
Speaker 1: last Thursday. Rob, you cool if I do this one alright?
Speaker 1: This is from Kennedy. Kennedy says, Hi, I just finished
Speaker 1: listening to the part one episode of The Seven Day Week.
Speaker 1: I was intrigued because I have time space synesthesia, so
Speaker 1: I see time in the space around me, including weeks, months,
Speaker 1: and years. If it hasn't already been done, this would
Speaker 1: make an interesting podcast topic. I don't know. I don't
Speaker 1: know much about this. This sounds fascinating now. Also, while listening,
Speaker 1: I kept hoping you would bring up menstruation as a
Speaker 1: biological or natural cause. For weeks or months, I saw
Speaker 1: a post awhile ago hypothesizing that women may have been
Speaker 1: the first to track time in a month like pattern.
Speaker 1: Because of twenty eight day minstrel cycles, a period is
Speaker 1: also often five to seven days. Just wondering if you
Speaker 1: looked into the influence of this on our current system
Speaker 1: of months and weeks. Thank you for the fantastic episode. Sincerely, Kennedy. Well,
Speaker 1: thanks Kennedy. Yes, I think these are both really interesting ideas.
Speaker 1: In part, when we talked about one of the main
Speaker 1: functions of the week being as an organizing principle for
Speaker 1: what the historian that we cited in that episode, David
Speaker 1: Hankin calls stocktaking, but we were also referring to as
Speaker 1: time conceptualization or mental time travel. Basically, the week plays
Speaker 1: a role in helping us mentally organize events in the
Speaker 1: recent past in near future. And I think on this front, yeah,
Speaker 1: it's it's totally worth remembering that as much as we
Speaker 1: all do some extent visualized time, some people really visualized time,
Speaker 1: or really have even no choice but to visualize time,
Speaker 1: and in a very concrete and vivid way. I remember
Speaker 1: a while back having a conversation with with a family
Speaker 1: member who was if I recall correctly, I think the
Speaker 1: way she was describing things was talking about having a
Speaker 1: form of something like time space synaesthesia, where they would
Speaker 1: they would vividly perceive time as a type of ribbon
Speaker 1: that rotates in a circle around them, and there was
Speaker 1: some kind of visual cue making parts of that ribbon. Um,
Speaker 1: I don't know, like marking them off in terms of
Speaker 1: days or weeks or months. Interesting. Yeah, I mean this
Speaker 1: instantly makes me think, like, whatever is going on with
Speaker 1: that that person's individual um uh, you know, synesthesia experience,
Speaker 1: Like how would it differ if they had grown up
Speaker 1: with a different perception of time, a different calendar system. Yeah,
Speaker 1: But on the second question you raise about the origins
Speaker 1: of the week, and I guess this would not necessarily
Speaker 1: be a strict seven day week, but some kind of
Speaker 1: time organization unit on the order of like five to
Speaker 1: seven days or so on. The origins of that possibly
Speaker 1: being linked to the human minstrel cycle. I don't know
Speaker 1: if anybody has any direct evidence of that, and I
Speaker 1: don't know what that would be. Maybe like I don't know,
Speaker 1: written records from the ancient world from you know, Mesopotamia
Speaker 1: or anywhere making this connection themselves to tying the earliest
Speaker 1: concepts of weeks to the minstrel cycle. But it seems
Speaker 1: like inherently a very plausible biological basis for that kind
Speaker 1: of organizing principle. Um. Kind of on the same level
Speaker 1: as like the the agricultural market cycle hypothesis. Right. You know,
Speaker 1: there are some fairly universal human experiences that are going
Speaker 1: to be happening in cycles on the order of you know,
Speaker 1: some group of days that subdivides the lunar month. Yeah. Yeah,
Speaker 1: And and of course we do know that in different
Speaker 1: cultures there would be rituals and practices associated with with
Speaker 1: Instrell cycles. So uh yeah, I initially thought the same thing.
Speaker 1: I thought, well, there have to be some papers out
Speaker 1: there that discussed this um that that at least consider
Speaker 1: this connection, uh, if not presents some sort of evidence
Speaker 1: like we're discussing here. But I I really couldn't find
Speaker 1: much out there. Uh. Not to say that my research
Speaker 1: skills are are perfect and above reproach, but if there was,
Speaker 1: if there was something good out there, I missed it. Uh.
Speaker 1: And I would love to be corrected if if anyone
Speaker 1: out there has a paper or or in fact this
Speaker 1: post that has mentioned I would love to read more. Well, yeah,
Speaker 1: I guess anything you came across that was like a
Speaker 1: biological reasoning that you were hypothesizing to underlie the week. Um,
Speaker 1: it would be hard to establish a clear link. I
Speaker 1: mean I think that was also true when you were
Speaker 1: looking at that paper paper in the journal uh Chronobiology International,
Speaker 1: that was trying to find some kind of biological origin
Speaker 1: for um, for the seven day week. I mean, whatever
Speaker 1: it is, you'd have a hard time showing like, yes,
Speaker 1: this is definitely the reason. But I think some things
Speaker 1: seem at least prima facy plausible and yeah, I would
Speaker 1: definitely say menstruation as one of them. Yeah, it's actually
Speaker 1: briefly mentioned. It's mentioned only once in that Rheinberg at
Speaker 1: All paper and Chronobiology. Uh. They write, quote, we wish
Speaker 1: to point out the endogenous roughly thirty day minstrel rhythm
Speaker 1: of women, which also converts survival rate, is integrated into
Speaker 1: the complex multiple period biological time structure. This raises the
Speaker 1: question of whether the roughly seven day rhythms are in
Speaker 1: any way of survival value for the human or other species.
Speaker 1: So they're thinking about it, but that's really all there
Speaker 1: is about minstrel cycles in this particular paper. But again,
Speaker 1: if someone knows of some some more research writing contemplation
Speaker 1: out there about this possible connection. Shoot it our way.
Speaker 1: We'd love to read about it. But either way, Yeah,
Speaker 1: strong idea, great email, Kennedy. Oh Rob, there was one
Speaker 1: other h do you mind if I read this next
Speaker 1: message about lava boats is pretty short? Yeah, go for it.
Speaker 1: So this is in response to the episode we did,
Speaker 1: I guess a couple of weeks ago now about lava
Speaker 1: boats in In sort of both ways, you could interpret that.
Speaker 1: I talked for a long time about pumice rafts, you know,
Speaker 1: these volcanic rocks that you know, floating on the surface
Speaker 1: of the ocean and make these vast, undulating parking lots
Speaker 1: in the middle of the Pacific. But then we also
Speaker 1: talked about the idea of, well, could you sail a
Speaker 1: boat on a on a flowing river of lava like
Speaker 1: you might see it one of the volcanoes in Hawaii.
Speaker 1: And Zach had some a great point about the latter
Speaker 1: idea about trying to actually sail a boat on on
Speaker 1: a river of lava. So Zack says, Hey, Robert and Joe,
Speaker 1: I was thinking about the idea of riding a superheated
Speaker 1: steel boat from lava into water. One thing that came
Speaker 1: to mind was the Leaden frost effect. Depending on your
Speaker 1: momentum when entering the water uh and style of boat
Speaker 1: flat bottom or keeled, you could potentially be in for
Speaker 1: a wild ride. Love the show. It sure helps keep
Speaker 1: this trucker entertained. Thanks for all you guys and your
Speaker 1: team do Zach, Zach. This is a This is a
Speaker 1: great point. The leaden frost effect, for anybody out there
Speaker 1: who's not familiar is a is a really interesting physics
Speaker 1: principle that essentially has a counterintuitive effect. So like, if
Speaker 1: you heat up a pan and you dribble some water
Speaker 1: into it. Uh, you know, the water the heat the
Speaker 1: heat from the bottom of the metal panel transfer into
Speaker 1: the water and will start to boil. But if you
Speaker 1: get the pan really hot, like ripping hot before you
Speaker 1: dribble the water in, something totally different happens. Instead of
Speaker 1: it pooling on the bottom of the pan and then
Speaker 1: boiling and then boiling off into steam, the droplets of
Speaker 1: water will instead appear to float over the surface of
Speaker 1: the pan and kind of skitter around madly. Uh. And
Speaker 1: they actually, in this form take a longer time to
Speaker 1: boil off than they do if the pan is at
Speaker 1: a lower temperature. And the reason for that is this
Speaker 1: principle known as the leading frost effect. It's where when
Speaker 1: there's a huge temperature difference, the h the steam that
Speaker 1: comes off of that you know, piece of that, that
Speaker 1: little droplet of water creates an insulating layer. It's sort
Speaker 1: of like a cushion of water vapor that's instantly vaporized.
Speaker 1: That makes it take longer for the heat to transfer
Speaker 1: into that droplet of water and essentially makes it float
Speaker 1: over the surface of the pan. And you can imagine
Speaker 1: a similar thing going on with any kind of superheated
Speaker 1: piece of metal coming into contact with water, maybe sort
Speaker 1: of like dancing around on a on a cushion of steam.
Speaker 1: Oh wow, Yeah, I didn't really think about this in
Speaker 1: our initial discussion. Yeah that this this, this might make
Speaker 1: a really wild ride for sure. Yeah. All right. We
Speaker 1: have a response to a Vault episode here from Jim
Speaker 1: in New Jersey. Uh, specifically our ketchup episode of Invention,
Speaker 1: which we recently re aired. Uh. Jim says, Robert and Joe,
Speaker 1: there was a Hines processing plant in my hometown of
Speaker 1: south central Pennsylvania. A family friend worked there. He refused
Speaker 1: to eat Hinz Ketchup based on what he witnessed in
Speaker 1: the processing. Figuratively, he saw how the sausage was made,
Speaker 1: but literally he saw how the Ketchup was made. But
Speaker 1: he would eat other brands of Ketchup. His family would
Speaker 1: tease him and ask, do you think they make Ketchup
Speaker 1: any differently? I didn't think about this. Is is Hins
Speaker 1: gonna come after us with their lawyers for reading this
Speaker 1: or whatever? I like Hines Ketchup. There you go, unpaid endorsement. Yeah, anyway,
Speaker 1: he continues. You ended your invention of of the Ketchup
Speaker 1: episode by asking if you had any listeners who had
Speaker 1: never eaten ketch Up. I can't be that listener, but
Speaker 1: I know one person whom I can guarantee never tasted
Speaker 1: catch Up. My father. My dad was an extremely picky eater.
Speaker 1: He wouldn't eat any foods to contain tomatoes in any form.
Speaker 1: No catch up, spaghetti and sauce, pizza, sliced tomatoes, etcetera.
Speaker 1: He would eat spaghetti with melted butter on it. Tomatoes
Speaker 1: was only one of his forbidden foods, but it was
Speaker 1: probably the one that cast the widest net. Unfortunately, Dad
Speaker 1: died years ago, so I can't follow up with him
Speaker 1: about this due to his tomato aversion. I never tasted
Speaker 1: pizza until age fifteen, when on the way home from
Speaker 1: a Saturday school trip, the bus stopped at Pizza Hut
Speaker 1: for dinner. After one taste, I practically moaned, what is
Speaker 1: this food of the gods? Jim and New Jersey? Oh wow, Jim. Well,
Speaker 1: so I can sort of relate because I never went
Speaker 1: that far. Like, I always liked pizza and stuff, but um,
Speaker 1: unless it was in a highly sort of processed and
Speaker 1: sort of hidden form, actually did not much like tomatoes
Speaker 1: when I was a little kid. Uh. There there were
Speaker 1: weird exceptions though, I mean I did like some things
Speaker 1: with tomatoes in them, but like most of the time,
Speaker 1: if if there were visible chunks of tomato and something
Speaker 1: I did not like it, did not want it. And
Speaker 1: I don't know what changed. I mean, now tomatoes are
Speaker 1: one of my favorite foods. But but yeah, as a kid,
Speaker 1: I remember being grossed out. Yeah, I don't remember being
Speaker 1: super into just like raw tomatoes when I was a
Speaker 1: little kid. My son, however, as always eating them. He's
Speaker 1: a He's a much better eater than I was at
Speaker 1: his green up growing up, Um, like a pretty early
Speaker 1: age you would pick up a tomato and just eat
Speaker 1: like an apple. So yeah, no problem there. But you know,
Speaker 1: if you're not in you know, even if you're not
Speaker 1: into tomato based substances or for some reason you can't
Speaker 1: have tomato based foods, you can certainly still have pizza.
Speaker 1: You can get a white pizza, you can have like
Speaker 1: a pesto based pizza. Um. And I would agree that
Speaker 1: the pizza not a controversial opinion here is pretty great. Uh.
Speaker 1: And I would expand that to to when I say
Speaker 1: pizza did not just mean like literal pizza, and also
Speaker 1: some of the sort of turf wars between like one
Speaker 1: pizza tradition in another. But if you just take in
Speaker 1: into account like all flat bread based foods, um, it's
Speaker 1: it's a perfect formula. You know. Actually thinking about food
Speaker 1: versions of this type though it's making me wonder, like
Speaker 1: what is the psychological basis of food aversion? Like how
Speaker 1: is a food you don't like represented in the brain?
Speaker 1: Because it just remembering my childhood, so there were so
Speaker 1: many things I didn't want to eat because I thought
Speaker 1: I didn't like tomatoes, but like I loved tomato salsa,
Speaker 1: and I would eat pizza that had tomato sauce on.
Speaker 1: It was like tomato worked as a sauce or something
Speaker 1: like if it was in liquid form, But I didn't
Speaker 1: want chunks of tomato. I think I don't know why
Speaker 1: that would be, like what's happening in my little kid
Speaker 1: brain to cause me to feel like that. I mean,
Speaker 1: it's a pretty complex issue. I know there've been some
Speaker 1: some papers written on this. I know some of it
Speaker 1: comes down to two textures and uh, and I'm not
Speaker 1: sure in all cases what the exact principle is there.
Speaker 1: I mean, sometimes it's something to do with the path
Speaker 1: the actual like physical palate of the mouth. I've also
Speaker 1: read that, of course, when you're getting into things like
Speaker 1: spices and more complex flavors. Uh. You know, part of that,
Speaker 1: of course is it's literally a developed taste. But in
Speaker 1: other cases, I think there's a strong argument that like
Speaker 1: a smile child could not survive a dose of a
Speaker 1: of a poison that might otherwise be okay in an
Speaker 1: adults body, and therefore there they have to be more
Speaker 1: selective in what they will actually tolerate. Oh interesting, Yeah,
Speaker 1: lower lower body mass means that you you have to
Speaker 1: protect yourself more with your mouth. Yeah. Now, I haven't
Speaker 1: actually looked at at the research on that, so I
Speaker 1: don't know if that's a popular opinion right now or
Speaker 1: you know, popular hypothesis, or if they're uh, you know,
Speaker 1: it's the kind of thing that we have to perhaps
Speaker 1: come back and discuss in greater detail, but very I mean,
Speaker 1: you do have kids, little kids that are all in
Speaker 1: on spice, but a lot of kids seem to be,
Speaker 1: you know, kind of you have to ease into it.
Speaker 1: You have to develop that spice taste over time. All right.
Speaker 1: This next message was in response to the Moses effect.
Speaker 1: This is from Shannon. If you didn't catch that recent
Speaker 1: Vault episode. The Moses effect, again, is a phenomenon that
Speaker 1: falls under the category of knowledge neglect, where if you
Speaker 1: ask somebody how many of each type of animal did
Speaker 1: Moses take onto the arc, most people will say too
Speaker 1: even though they know that it was in the story,
Speaker 1: it was Noah and not Moses. So you just like
Speaker 1: ignore that part of the question. It just like doesn't
Speaker 1: even register in your mind. Um so, so Shannon says, Hi, guys,
Speaker 1: I don't know if you explicitly mentioned it, but it
Speaker 1: seems to me that the Moses effect is dramatically lowered
Speaker 1: when a foreign language is involved. I speak German, and
Speaker 1: if I were to translate a question to or from English,
Speaker 1: I know that I would detect the trickery much more
Speaker 1: quickly than if I simply answered when I was more
Speaker 1: fluent in German, I might have been more prone to
Speaker 1: fall for the deception. I assume the same is true
Speaker 1: for any non native English speaker, that they would notice
Speaker 1: that Moses is the incorrect actor in the question. I
Speaker 1: think the implication of this is that the trickery in
Speaker 1: the Moses illusion relies on fluency, and the trickster quote
Speaker 1: surfs the wave of that fluency to get past our
Speaker 1: usual breakers. Thanks for all you do, Shannon, Uh yeah,
Speaker 1: I'd say on his face that that totally makes sense
Speaker 1: to me. In fact, it's been a while since we
Speaker 1: did that episode, so I don't remember for sure. But
Speaker 1: I think some of the studies that looked at the
Speaker 1: Moses effect looked into whether altering processing fluency, like doing
Speaker 1: something to make it harder to understand the question or
Speaker 1: make it go slower as you absorb it, would increase
Speaker 1: people's chance of noticing it. But again, I don't remember.
Speaker 1: It's been a bit alright. As some of you know,
Speaker 1: we have a discord, uh message board? Is that what
Speaker 1: you call it? Discord? We have a discord. I guess
Speaker 1: it's maybe the way of saying it. I've still never
Speaker 1: been there. Yeah, I I poke around in there, and
Speaker 1: there's a a number of users in there. It's it's
Speaker 1: very chill. If you were interested in joining the discord,
Speaker 1: just shoot us an email. You doing the email address
Speaker 1: at the end of this episode, and I'll shoot you
Speaker 1: back the invite code UM, because I don't think there's
Speaker 1: a way to just automatically point you to it. But anyway,
Speaker 1: we heard from a listener by the name of ev
Speaker 1: EVI writes in and says the following. From the episode
Speaker 1: Music and Memory, Rob mentions a song in the beginning
Speaker 1: uh m nine. This is by Boards of Canada from
Speaker 1: a Few Old Tunes, Volume one. They include a link
Speaker 1: to both the discogs page about it discogs dot com
Speaker 1: of course, tremendous resource anytime you're you're researching albums and
Speaker 1: artists and in particular releases and so forth. And they
Speaker 1: also include um YouTube clip uh and they say this
Speaker 1: song reminded me of music featured in the computer animated
Speaker 1: movie The Mind's I. The similarities in the music were
Speaker 1: not as close as I originally thought, but I figured
Speaker 1: you all might enjoy this classic and maybe someone will
Speaker 1: hear the song M nine and spark a memory of
Speaker 1: something else that gets closer. And for your auditory and
Speaker 1: visual pleasure, here's the sequel, Beyond the Mind's Eye, and
Speaker 1: they include a link to that as well. Um, Joe,
Speaker 1: do you remember The Mind's I? Uh, not by title alone.
Speaker 1: I don't know, maybe if I watched it. So this
Speaker 1: was especially the first one i've I've kind of finally remember,
Speaker 1: because there were a lot of TV ads for it
Speaker 1: you could you could send off to get a copy
Speaker 1: of this. It was a like a VHS of all
Speaker 1: of this just cutting edge computer animation stuff that I
Speaker 1: don't know. I haven't I haven't rewatched all of it,
Speaker 1: but some of it would probably come off a bit
Speaker 1: rough by today's standards for sure, But you know, it's
Speaker 1: very like dreamy and kind of new a G and
Speaker 1: futuristic and I had to look it up one. James
Speaker 1: Reynolds did the music for the first one. I think
Speaker 1: some different artists were involved in music for the subsequent releases,
Speaker 1: but yeah, this one, this one was advertised all over
Speaker 1: the place, and I think I may be rented it
Speaker 1: from a VHS store at some point. So this was
Speaker 1: like a mail order computer animation clip show. Yeah. Yeah,
Speaker 1: there's like an eight hundred number you could call and
Speaker 1: you could order your own copy of The Mind's Eye.
Speaker 1: And uh. I remember at the time it was like
Speaker 1: you would you would see these commercials and you're like, wow,
Speaker 1: the future is here. Look at this. It's like pure
Speaker 1: moods for the eyes. Oh yeah, I mean I would.
Speaker 1: I would very much classify in the same category. Have
Speaker 1: pure moods is another one of those that is the
Speaker 1: Your Moods was a purely a musical release, of course,
Speaker 1: but there were a lot of TV ads for it,
Speaker 1: and it had had some great tracks on it. I
Speaker 1: still think about Pyramids at least once a month. Wait,
Speaker 1: my memory can't be right because I'm remembering. It had
Speaker 1: like the Exorcist theme and the theme from the X Files,
Speaker 1: but also India and stuff. It was pretty great. Great.
Speaker 1: I definitely had a copy together. Yeah, and it I
Speaker 1: think it actually it introduced me to a number of
Speaker 1: these artists. Yeah, you had Enigma, Anya um uh. A
Speaker 1: number of big evangelist is on there, Micah um oldfield In,
Speaker 1: Neil Morriconi, the Orb, Brian Eno. You also got a
Speaker 1: little Kinny g in there. But yeah, a lot of
Speaker 1: big names and sort of the like the New Age
Speaker 1: and electronic uh uh, you know world U Tubular Bells
Speaker 1: part one being the Exorcist theme song. See now I
Speaker 1: want to listen to it. Can practically I can hear
Speaker 1: that Enigma song returned to Innocence. I just pounding through
Speaker 1: my head. Now, wow, what a strange idea, But like,
Speaker 1: I don't know, I just it was one of those
Speaker 1: things you see it on TV as a kid, You're
Speaker 1: just like, Okay, this is what culture is. Yeah, this
Speaker 1: this is the world I was born into. Let's see, Rob,
Speaker 1: I'm taking a look at some of these other messages
Speaker 1: you brought in from the discord, since I haven't seen
Speaker 1: these before. Oh we have one from Robin tying back
Speaker 1: to Jim's message about the about the Ketchup Vault episode.
Speaker 1: Robin says, with regards to the Ketchup episode, if you
Speaker 1: folks have not yet tried kim chi on your hot
Speaker 1: dog type food of choice, I will highly recommend it. Uh, well,
Speaker 1: Robin would go right along with that, because obviously, you know,
Speaker 1: a cabbage type vegetable, especially in some sort of fermented
Speaker 1: or dressed form, works well on a hot dog, and
Speaker 1: some people put cole slaw on there or Sauer kraut. Yeah,
Speaker 1: kimchi works great as well. But then Robin goes on
Speaker 1: to say, um may I also recommend squigging some q
Speaker 1: P Japanese style mayo on there, in keeping with Joe's
Speaker 1: recommended go chu jong and mayo dipping sauce. Um. I
Speaker 1: don't think I've ever tried exactly that QP spelled k
Speaker 1: e w P i e in in English is a
Speaker 1: I don't know how exactly it's different than just regular
Speaker 1: American mayonnaise, but but there there's something different about it,
Speaker 1: has a different kind of richness or something. The bottle
Speaker 1: looks very cute too, like I wanted to squeeze it.
Speaker 1: But but I don't think I've ever actually had it myself.
Speaker 1: I always end up using um mayo or vegan mayo
Speaker 1: just from the grocery store. Um, but I want to
Speaker 1: try it. I'm actually having kim chi with mayo on
Speaker 1: veggie dogs for dinner. Tonight. Wow, I'm excited. Well, what
Speaker 1: a coincidence. So I don't think I would normally, under
Speaker 1: regular circumstances just go with a type of mayonnaise on
Speaker 1: a hot dog, but yeah, I can go well when
Speaker 1: paired with other types of condiments like sharper condiments or
Speaker 1: something that secidic, like like kim chi or something. Um.
Speaker 1: I remember many many years ago when I went to Iceland.
Speaker 1: There they have a special way of dressing their pilcer
Speaker 1: the hot dogs there, like you would get it basically
Speaker 1: any any gas station there. That's like, uh, there's like
Speaker 1: I don't remember, like four or five condiments that go
Speaker 1: on everything. It includes like some onions and some kind
Speaker 1: of sharper kind of sweet and sour sauce, and then
Speaker 1: I think also some type of mayonnaisy creamy sauce. It
Speaker 1: sounds good. It sounds very good. Anyway, Thank you, Robin.
Speaker 1: All right, Well, it looks like we're at a time
Speaker 1: we had we had some weird house listener man we
Speaker 1: wanted to read. We're gonna save that for next time. Uh,
Speaker 1: and when is next time? Well, it's gonna be next Monday.
Speaker 1: That's when we do listener mail and the stuff to
Speaker 1: Blow Your Mind podcast feed We do our core episodes
Speaker 1: on two season Thursdays, we do a short form artifact
Speaker 1: or monster fact on Wednesdays, and then on Friday, that
Speaker 1: is time for Weird House Cinema. That's when we set
Speaker 1: aside most serious matters and we just discuss a strange film.
