62: Down to Business pt.2: Down Under

Grant takes the opportunity to share some "weird stories from Australia." He introduces us to an underground, deadly underwater cave system in the middle of a cow field known as "The Shaft" in Australia. Next, he covers the disappearance of Harold Holt. The Australian Prime Minister (and spear fisher) who was abducted by aliens, eaten by a shark, or something way more normal and boring. Finally, we learn about what happens when you try to take on mother nature. Specifically, when you launch "The Great Emu War". Along the way you’ll hear why Grant keeps getting recognized by former students, how Maia’s boomer side emerges in the snack-basket aisle, and what happens when two podcasters debate the morality of road-trip bathroom breaks. Buckle up; it’s a long, strange ride beneath (and sometimes above) the Southern Hemisphere. Plus, stick around for a lightning round on potato loyalties, hot-pot lullabies, and morbidly funny “famous last words”—proof that history pairs perfectly with late-night chaos.
