| 0:10.0 | Being at the eclipse is kind of a funny term. |
| 0:12.2 | But anyway, he was in the path of |
| 0:13.6 | totality so we're going to hear from him on the bonus show, but I want to start |
| 0:17.2 | today with some of the various ways in which the eclipse and a mere phenomenon of astronomy and physics seemingly broke the brains of so many of the |
