Gary’s Q&A

Listener question & Gary’s response · Transcript passage

Kyle Kenyon asks What are some fun rabbit holes to go down? Historical mysteries, etc.

It is impossible to answer that question because there are so many. Literally, every episode of this podcast can lead you down a rabbit hole if it is something that you are interested in.

Just as an example, last night, I found myself reading about jerry cans. These are square fuel cans that were debuted during the Second World War.

I don’t know if I’ll ever devote an entire episode to the jerry can, but there is a whole lot more to them than I ever realized. They are incredibly well-designed and engineered. You could fill an entire ship with jerry cans filled with fuel and then deliver them to individual vehicles immediately off the ship.

The jerry can is just an example, but I go down rabbit holes like this all the time, which I suppose is why I do this podcast.

Everyone has their own interests, and what we are interested in at any given moment will also depend on chance based on what we encounter.
