Episode 14: Dazed and Confused by Steffan & Elliot
This week we recall embarrassing stories from the recent and not so recent past, and Steff provides a glimpse of what it's like to be part of the landed elite of "tall people". ## Notes Centralia has been on fire since 1962 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Centralia,_Pennsylvania List of lists of lists https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_lists_of_lists List of unusual deaths https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_unusual_deaths Omnifocus https://www.omnigroup.com/omnifocus Forvo http://forvo.com/ Adam Ruins Everything https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLuKg-WhduhkksJoqkj9aJEnN7v0mx8yxC http://www.trutv.com/shows/adam-ruins-everything/index.html

We couldn't both be in the same room this week because Christmas so please accept this bonus episode as our gift to you this festive season. No refunds.
Steff and Elliot are joined by a special guest to talk about Christmas, homework being stolen by dogs, foxes and albatrosses, and an in-depth conspiracy about the Wu Tang Clan's creation, Mr Stinker. Also, Steff edited this one for the first time but it's ok because it sounds ok - just don't direct your complaints at Elliot this time.
In this week's slightly late episode, the boys discuss the cultural phenomenon that is and was Carmarthen Park in the '00s, while Steff plots yet another top secret segment to sour Elliot's tastebuds. Also in this week - overpopulated Christmas markets, the best German words, and teapot webcams.
