The Bugle: Bugle 4017 – Evolution special

February 19, 2017 1:00 PM

Andy is joined by Helen to look at a few stories of human endeavor, including: creation of the MAMMOPHANT, beauty spot stag do’s and traffic lights versus Darwin. What are we doing to prolong humankind? Not much AND too much.

Re: the wolf dick bones. Had no idea about this. Here's a coyote baculum from the La Brea Tar Pits...

Enjoyed him having Helen on, though, since I'm a big fan of the The Allusionist and Answer Me This!

Finished this episode up yesterday on the drive home. I really like the sibling dynamic between Andy and Helen - he tries to bag on her (crashing mum's car) and she turns around and zings him back double. Not only are two clever people riffing on the week's events, their life-long relationship comes into play as well. Their "family shorthand" for some experiences came through, and not in an exclusionary way, but as a way to move past give and take and get to the good stuff.
