Minute 62 - The Metric System

Hello and welcome back to Cabin Boy Minute - Minute 62! What will we discuss this week? In fact, it has much to do with the metric system. We learn about the International System of Units, why the United States did not adopt the system, and talk about the greater societal and cultural implications of that refusal. We also touch on record players, dimmers, and the color red, and then discover a call-out to our poor lost Kenneth subtly placed within the scene. The multitude of Calli's arms inspires us to a multitude of ideas, complete with new systems of measurement and a reckoning with that eternal question: Do you really need 6-armed pants? And of course, we find a way to get past our differences and determine who won the scene, calculate gags per minute and decide if the scene was funny or not funny. Don't get caught up too much in your climbing, calling or plumbing practice, make sure you save time to join us next week on Cabin Boy Minute for Minute 63!
