David and Del

Overview
Episodes

Details

A frequently thoughtful and sometimes whimsical examination of the world around us as seen through the cataract-clouded eyes of two long-time friends and explorers. Sporadically funny, invariably insightful, sometimes we're not sure.

Dave makes the mistake of exploring his attic. This was followed by serious thigh muscle pain 24 hours later. Don't do this.

184: Dave's Birthday Gift, Word of the Day, Winners and Losers, Voyager Lives!

Send us a Text Message.

Dave can't decide between a Velveeta lip fang and a flame-throwing robot dog as his birthday present to himself. So he settles on a 40+ year old bike frame.  Weird.

Del seemingly stumps Dave with the word SEEMLY.  
Seems a drupe is a fruit,What's your word of the day?

Bridey Thelen-Heidel's preorders of her book Bright Eyes put her at #1 in two Amazon categories.  Go, girl!    Dave also mentions In Universes by Emet North.

A Gentleman in Moscow, an all-time favorite book of the Bucks is now a mini-series on Paramount-Showtime. 

Killing Eve season 4 gets thumbs-down from Dave while Baby Reindeer is highly recommended. Note that this true story is very dark with graphic themes.

Bucks recall the course Problems of Democracy thanks to VV1.  Here's a modern problem of democracy.

Your bonus track by Bruce Hornsby is 10 minutes long this week. If that's too long, here's Don Henley's version. They co-wrote the song so long ago.

Caitlin Clark signs with Indiana of WNBA for a whopping $76, 000. Shed no tears, though, as she'll make 8-figures in endorsements. Not bad for a rookie.

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis signed a bill to require the teaching of the dangers  and atrocities of communism in grades K-12.  OK, but why did we need a law  to do this? Aren't Florida schools already teaching political and economic isystems?  Sounds like grandstanding by the Gov one more time.  Poke an easy target while his party refuses to provide aid to Ukraine, who was invaded by you know who and what. Sad.

Del goes into McGyver mode to essentially wreck both our microphones. Bucks are starting a Gofundme page to raise $500 for new mics. In the meantime, Dave sounds like he has cotton in his mouth and Del is in a tunnel.

Join the California Sober movement by drinking weed-infused beverages. Not making this up.  Thanks to Axios for this high-flying story.

Crocs, the beloved overpriced rubber boot, has teamed up with Pringles to give something we never knew we needed. Seriously.

Del and Dave whine about the usual stuff = they're old.

You can now pre-order Bright Eyes, the debut book by Bridey Thelen-Heidel.
Here's how.

The Bonus Track this week is dedicated to Caitlin Clark.
