Episode #162: Six Million Dollar Fish

What can you say about a great white shark that died? That he was beautiful. That he was brilliant. And that he'd gladly trade a dorsal fin for one clear shot at your abdomen. Yes, this is the episode you've heard about. The one with some outstanding R&B from the years 1974 to 1976. And the one with a most dramatic spiritual shift around the 44-minute mark. You might say we jumped the... no, on second thought, you mightn't.
