The Well

In this episode: How Jonathan joined a scientific expedition to Antarctica and how the fathomless abyss became a psychedelic bikini bottom – it was also like going to the moon. This conversation makes a few side quests to Chile and Tasmanian trees older than the Roman empire. Also, how to tell your friend you don’t like their band. Plus, Jonathan assigns homework -now go Google magnetostrategraphy.

Plus, Anson sees his first Metallica show and conforms the rumors: they still rule, especially when they’re channeling Ennio Morricone.

Anson & Branan launch a new segment.  Anson scrolls to the bottom of Danny Trejo’s IMDB page and asks him about that little known credit, then challenges him to remember the names of characters past.  Enjoy!
