Hey, Thanks for the mention on the podcast… felt like an honor. I forgot I emailed you and really got a kick out of it when I heard you review my email. In regards to how long human body parts can last without blood: not long. Brain and heart, likely...

Your Dislike of the Westworld Player Piano

First off, I apologize. I can’t recall which of you disliked the player piano oldies so much, so I can’t properly address this email. When I was a kid my favorite music was by the Doors, Jimi Hendrix, Pink Floyd. The reason for this is the same for almost all...
