Gargantua and Pantagruel, by Francois Rabelais, and Benriach the Smoky 12, Part 2

Michael and Ethan continue their discussion of Gargantua and Pantagruel, by Francois Rabelais, as translated in one case by Thomas Urquhart and Peter Motteaux and in the other by M.A. Screech, while drinking Benriach distilliery’s The Smoky Twelve.

In this episode:

  • If you don’t understand something, don’t get upset about it

    • Just accept it and find the humor in what you do understand

    • (These are not bumper stickers, just Michael sayings. But if enough people want, they could be bumper stickers)

  • Education, Education, Education and Stupid War

  • Freedom and Responsibility

  • Magic blood

  • The last seven minutes or so are pretty deeply embarrassing for Ethan, you can just skip it

  • 788 fart jokes
