The show starts on a discussion about home improvements, landscaping and cutting trees. The guys talk about COVID risks and the challenges related to explaining public health statistics and how viruses infect. They talk about vaccines and post vaccination symptoms (or lack thereof). The conversation goes to talking about food safety in food banks and an incident in Spain impacting food insecurity. After a quick Bassett hound break, the guys talk about lawsuits involving if online retailers should be responsible for ensuring the safety of stuff sold by third party sellers through their site (and how to manage that). Don and Ben go on to talk about feedback on leftovers, flour risks, animal sharing laws and leafy greens and nut cheeses.
