Summary

In 1893, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle "killed" Sherlock Holmes. Eight years later, the popular detective returned in The Hound of the Baskervilles, much to the delight of Doyle's mother.

Why was Doyle unable to abandon his creation? Why have the zany detective and his Everyman sidekick Watson endured for over a century? Maybe we'll answer those questions. At the very least, we'll talk about how nerds have kept the crime-fighting duo alive for new generations to enjoy in print and onscreen.

In this week's episode, we'll also discuss the adventures of Sir Arthur "Iggy" Conan Doyle, Professor Challenge, nerd rage, and (last but not least) hellhounds.

0:47.6	Do you find when you're making any food that you dirty more dishes than you need to?
0:51.3	Oh yeah, always. In retrospect, I always look at the pile of dishes that I've made and there's
0:57.2	gotta be. I have to have done something wrong. There has to be some inefficiency in my process somewhere.
1:03.6	Well, and the problem too is that when I took that cooking class a couple of weeks ago,
1:08.9	the woman running it had these little bowls with trash bags in them that was put all of your
1:14.5	detritus in here. You know, if you're peeling stuff or you're cutting stuff up and you've got
1:21.0	stuff to throw away, just toss it in there and you'll get it later. Don't worry about it.
1:24.2	Okay, and so I feel like now I'm dirtying like three to four extra bowls every time I make a meal
1:29.7	because I'm just like throwing onion pieces in one bowl because you don't have a detritus bowl.
1:34.6	Well, no, I'm making detritus bowls. I'm just using too many of them.
1:38.0	Oh, so okay, you just need to have one detritus bowl. I needed to try this bucket.
1:43.2	That's what a trash can is for. I need it on the countertop.
1:47.8	Can't put it next to the countertop.
1:50.9	No, why are you just throwing detritus everywhere?
1:54.9	Willie Nilly just because you can't like think ahead enough.
