The countdown resumes after a short break with what at the time was a very edgy episode. Now that times have changed 25 plus years later is it still edgy? We discuss that plus lot's of other things along the topic of this episode, including John Waters, Country Breakfast and what is possibly the all time funniest moment in the history of The Simpsons. Join us for #12 on the countdown as we continue to creep closer to the all time greatest episode on Smells Like Ottos Jacket. X - @smellsj Instagram - @simpsons_ottosjacket
Assistant Professor David Keith (pictured at the Melbourne Energy Institute's Symposium23 on Friday, December 8, mounted a convincing argument about why public transport will never replace, totally, the privately owned motor car. His argument overlooked, I would argue, the fact that the modern mind had been colonized by the individualism promoted and encouraged by capitalistic and neoliberal thinking.

“You can propagate the work by sharing the work. And so its exciting for me to sit down with all walks of life - every genre of person possible, professionally, athletically - and this translates to them.” In honor of National Honey Month, we're in great company with Daniel Sullivan, Owner of Shipwreck Honey and Resident Beekeeper of three iconic Pacific Northwest lodges - Salish Lodge & Spa, Cedarbrook Lodge and The Lodge at St. Edward. In partnership with these lodges, Daniel has created bee programs that raise awareness around American beekeeping and sustaining the honeybee population, while also ensuring these lodges are able to produce enough honey to share with every visiting guest and local alike, giving all access to honey as it should be - always fresh and all natural. As we close on Season 3 of this series and look forward to the change in seasons this fall, Daniel paints a picture of what it is like to host honey bees and humans in harmony, sharing a sweet taste of what a future with a world full of bees and honey abound looks like. Top Takeaways [1:45] As a child growing up in Washington watching his Grandfather tend to his own bees, Daniel found himself in early adulthood wanting to similarly live a life that was self-sufficient, had a sense of freedom, and promised a sustainable and positive future. [9:00] Honeybees create honey to keep themselves warm and to feed their own colonies during the winter. Beekeepers like Daniel must be responsible in only taking what could otherwise go to waste. [13:50] The flavor, perfume, color and bouquet of honey depends on the time of year and the plants the bees are pollinating. [17:15] Honey has numerous health benefits…topically for your skin and hair, in wound or burn treatment, as an anti-inflammatory and antibacterial ingredient in recipes, in soothing your throat and acting as a cough suppressant when you're sick, just to name a few. [27:40] How Daniel creates an environment that is safe for the honey bees and the hotel guests alike. [39:40] Salish Lodge & Spa has been famous for over 100 years for its four-course Country Breakfast with the iconic Honey from Heaven™ service where honey from Daniel's own hives is poured from high above guests' plates onto buttery house-made biscuits. [46:35] Cedarbrook Lodge highlights an inspired menu elevating the honey from the on-property apiary that Daniel manages inclusive of seasonal scratch cocktails such as the aptly named “Bee's Knees.” [49:55] The Lodge at St. Edward features Daniel's apiary near the bountiful chef's garden steps from Cedar & Elm restaurant, which is led by Chef Luke Kolpin, former chef at Noma in Copenhagen and Canlis in Seattle. [56:40] The future is sweet for Daniel and his community of farmers as they collectively look to open a farm school for children and parents alike to learn about the importance of honey bees.

There's not much more to be said about this series. Nope. We've spun reels as long as a professional ocean fishing rig. We've dug holes for ourselves deeper than the Mariana Trench. Our professional careers are officially done (probably) (hopefully not). It was a genuine pleasure to do this, and we hope you enjoyed it. If you didn't, you can treat yourself to Rage Radio and go f*** yourself.
THIS WEEK!! Country Breakfast and Dr. Orgasmatron are bringing plates of heaping sonic glory to your table once again...and...well, we are Adam. There are TIRE TREADS on Adam from being thrown under the bus for basically this whole episode by Graham and Rodney. Or, is it a love letter? I can't tell. NOBODY KNOWS!!! Luckily, our amazing guests steer the truck towards an inevitable, beautiful cliff inspired by Graham's suggestion: A rap battle. WE'RE ALL ADAMS.
THIS WEEK!!! Dr. Orgasmatron 4000 and Country Breakfast are here for the second (OF FOUR!!) episodes where we climb into the big pool, put the horse blinders on, and grope in the dark for reality and a sense of purpose. We fail--miserably--in that regard, but we DO come up with a song about (the) Amazon, Candiru, Cayman, and proceed to kick it into high gear with a tale of a man who shoots fish from his pee hole, as a super hero. Yeah, a super hero, for sure. Marvel, you have our email. SHOOT, THE, FISH, CANNONNNNNNNN!!!!!!
THIS WEEK!! Two of Adam's old bandmates from late-90's Lynchburg Legend, The Wakovia Bank Robbers, come to the studio for a long-overdue reunion. On this, part one of a four part epic series, we delve into Soft Teeth, Human Beans, Bird Wives, The Divorce of Amadeus Mozart, and other juicy, relevant, hot topics. The air crackles with delight; the molecules dance and sing; the atoms run in horror! Prepare your Umami teeth, the next four weeks will be a RIDE.
