S2-Episode 3: Del ponders words of wisdom, Dave meets the KGB in Russia-or not, Del does DAP, Special Czech cows?
Del plumbs the depth of his brain for words of wisdom learned along the way, especially fatherly advice he received as a dumb young buck. Dave, when put on the spot, can only come up with John Lennon and Mick Jagger lyrics. Del chides him for not remembering the words of a bunch of dead Greek guys. Upon further reflection , they share some father and son episodes from the distant past.
Dave tells his story of visiting Russia in 1992 on tungsten business. After an endless string of visits with bureaucrats during the day and vodka dinners with them every night in Moscow, he flies to the tungsten plant in Nalchik, a far different world in the Caucasus mountain. He is shadowed by a man who may or may not be a KGB agent. Why does he like this guy?
Del expounds on the miracle of DAP-the goo, not the handshake. Dave somehow manages to stay awake. Del then tops himself by worrying about how they get the perfect black grill stripes on burgers on TV ads. Finally, and thankfully, he challenges listeners to tell us what keeps them up at night.
In a Letter from Afar, Bernd from Germany feels the Konik ponies in central Florida cannot be "normal," i.e. real. He then extols the virtues of the "special cows" in the Czech Republic bred to walk level on hillsides. Really, Bernd? Really?
