TAPE 72 - "Nonprofits, No Profits, and the Quick Witch”

from The Unorganized Township of Bootstuck · host Richard Vandentillaart / Nick Vardon

A simple attempt to discuss “ideas that make sense” quickly collapses into a Bootstuck philosophy: if it doesn’t make money, why bother making sense at all? This sparks a wildly misguided dive into nonprofits (or “no profits”), leading to a charity built entirely around collecting scrap metal… somehow resulting in wheelchairs, though no one is quite sure how—or for whom. As logic continues to unravel, the conversation veers into government relations (limited to a mysterious “King of Canada”), homemade ocean hockey using frozen moose poop, and finally, a high-speed experiment in aviation involving a leaf blower, a broomstick, and a man named Caleb. By the end, Caleb has launched himself into the sky as a “quick witch” and vanished, prompting Bootstuck’s most casual search party yet—complete with drinks, clapping, and very low expectations of success.Send us Fan Mailwww.bootstuck.com
