It's getting steamy in Carthage, as Aeneas and Dido find themselves alone in a cave, separated from the hunt, chased there by an Olympus-sent thunderstorm. But what exactly happens therein? Two lovers simply giving into their desires or is it, as Dido (and Juno) believes, an actual marriage? Is the worst part that Dido has forsaken her vows to her dead husband or that this wedding is shamwow by Roman standards? Where's the overpriced DJ? Where's Achates' overlong and embarrassing “best man” toast? Where's the can-shackled chariot with the off-kilter “Nuper Nupta!” sign? The guys (with a little help from Brooks Otis and William Anderson) spelunk their way to the answers. And don't miss the special Princess Bride intro—fans of the movie might see where this is going, but don't expect a fist bump from Dave. Mawage?

“Fidus Achates” by Rigby Glass (Horror Story)
The fateful romance of Aeneas and Dido begins, as the prince of ancient Troy escapes his city's destruction and sails to Africa with Trojan survivors. There he discovers the mighty new city of Carthage, and meets its leader, the capable and beautiful queen Dido. But the gods, who decree that Aeneas must lay the foundations of the Roman Empire, have other plans… A story from Roman mythology (Vergil's Aeneid, Books 1 and 4 ), featuring: Aeneas, Dido, Juno, Jupiter, Venus, Ilioneus, Achates, Sychaeus, Pygmalion --- CREDITS: Music by Kevin MacLeod Episode Thumbnail Image: Roman fresco of Dido on her throne, with attendants; personified Africa stands to the right, with Aeneas' ship in the background WDS Logo Image: Kylix with Apollo playing the lyre and pouring a libation: c. 470 BC, Delphi Archeological Museum --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app
Achates is a noun that refers to a faithful friend. Our word of the day comes from an epic poem called Aeneid. In the story, Achates accompanies a Trojan leader named Aeneas everywhere in his adventures. Prior to being featured in the poem by Vergil, both characters originated in Greek mythology. When trying out a new standup comedy routine, I like to rehearse it in front of an Achates or two. Only a faithful friend will have the courage to tell you when you’re not funny.
Alyssa and Shelby have a delightful and humorous conversation about the loss of Shelby's grandmother - surrogate mother, best friend, compadre, partner in crime, numero uno, ride-or-die, fidus Achates.

There is no shortage of innovative thinking when it comes to internal combustion technology. And, as this week's guest will demonstrate, Achates Power is no exception. David Johnson is the President and CEO of the company, which is developing an innovative opposed-piston engine that will be more fuel efficient and less expensive to produce than conventional power plants. But, we'll be asking him, is the world ready for such a radical new design? Will a mainstream automaker take a chance at adopting an untested technology? Plus we'll get into the news of the week including the game of musical chairs going on amongst the executive ranks of Chrysler and Nissan. And, Edmunds projects that 40-50 percent of new car sales will be hybrids... in the year 2040. Joining John McElroy in studio to discuss this and a whole lot more is co-host Peter De Lorenzo, the Autoextremist, and Gary Vasilash from Automotive Design and Production.
