89. Hoarders, IPAs, Backpacking (w/ Micah Mason)

Phil & Jake are joined by friend-of-the-pod Micah to rank the reality TV show Hoarders, the craft beer style known as IPA, and the activity of backpacking on the List of Every Damn Thing.

If you have something to add to the list, email it to list@everydamnthing.net (or get at us on Twitter, Instagram and Facebook).

SHOW NOTES:

  • The Collyer Brothers were famous hoarders who died in the 1940s. There was a musical made about their lives.
  • Aida is a Verdi opera, first performed in Cairo in 1871. Of course Phil pronounced it wrong. What did you expect?!
  • During the episode Jake drinks a Picnic Lightning by Brouwerij West. It’s a top-notch Hazy IPA.
  • Shop ‘n’ Wash was a laundromat & convenience store in Ukiah, CA. It's name is pure description, zero wordplay. Phil feels that laundromats should have some wordplay in their names eg "Get the Funk Out" 
  • "Escamoles" or "Mexican caviar" are ant eggs eaten as food by adventurous eaters like Micah.
  • Phil referred to Shackleton’s Endurance as Sir Edmund Hillary going to the North Pole in the Perseverance. The wreck of Endurance was just discovered in March of 2022!
  • "The Ride" by David Allan Coe is a 1983 country song about an encounter with the ghost of Hank Williams while hitchhiking from Montgomery, AL to Nashville, TN.
  • Phil mentions Plagues and Pleasures on The Salton Sea, a documentary about the area. It's a very strange place both culturally and geologically.
