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

Del battles the helpline...again.  Did he win? What do you think?

Watch the music video, Dumb Ways to Die.  You'll like it. Thanks, Valentin!

Bucks  ponders space junk, crosswords, google, wordle, and nosy neighbors.

Florida imports snakes while Pennsylvania man loses his emotional support gator.

Bye bye to Duane Eddy and his twangy guitar. Del would rather lead a band.

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.

The Bucks are recording this episode AS THE ECLIPSE IS HAPPENING but we don't see anything. Wishing clear skies for those in the totality zone.

Del is on a quest to get his blood drawn for testing. He didn't lie down on the floor this time but made his presence known in so many ways. He lived to tell us his story.

Google Podcasts is going away and any listeners there can find us on Apple, Spotify, or Stitcher. Google recommends shifting to YouTube Music. Here's how.

Dave gives the Sarasota Film Festival two thumbs up. He watched the five live action shorts nominated for an Oscar. These include:
The After,
Red, White and Blue,
Knight of Fortune,
Invincible , and
  The Wonderful Story of Henry Sugar.
Henry won the Oscar but they were all excellent films.

He also saw the full-length feature  Thelma, about a 93-year old woman who is scammed and decides to do something about it. Richard Roundtree's last role. This was June Squibb's first movie at age 94!

His main objective at SFF was to see The Mammoth Hunt, the Lithuanian documentary about theatre director Jonas Jurasas and how he was forced to leave the country in 1972 after running afoul of the Soviet censors. Here's the letter that made it to the West. 
The film director is Aistė Stonytė’ 
The Kaunas National Drama Theater director is Egidijus Stancikas.
The singer is Mindaugas Jankauskas, a soloist of The National Opera Theater in Vilnius.

Del tidies up his nightstand...or not.

Listen to the Lithuanian operatic tenor at the end of this episode.
