David and Del Episode 204

Send us a text

Bucks discuss Hurricane Helene as Del's prognostication on water is validated again, unfortunately.

Bucks mourn the passing of Frank Young, a two-time guest of the show. Frank was witty, brilliant, firmly grounded and just a great story teller. You can listen to him talk about his sophomore year in India in Episode 135 and his career in the foreign service in Episode 150. We'll miss him.

Welcome to listeners in Dundee, Scotland. It might be Scott Galloway from the Pivot podcast as he just celebrated a birthday there.

Dave reads a note from his biking buddy Rich, who had a heart attack while biking with a flat tire and a storm brewing. Just another day for Rich. Glad he made it.

Dave reads Fires by Rick Bass and Bucks discuss. What do you think?

We have three bonus tracks in competition this episode. The song is Sweet Jane by Lou Reed. Lou sings one of his many versions and then we hear from the Cowboy Junkies and Miley Cyrus. Vote for your fave.

Lou Reed    Basic 4-chord rock and roll

Cowboy Junkies    Haunting

Miley Cyrus   Yes, she's really good.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY
