Episode 1: My Dad and Pre-Socratic Thought

A man recalls the crazy stories his father told him, and within those stories he attempts to explain his father, which requires that he talk about the peanut butter torture, discipline by prosthetic arm, and a trustworthy drunk. After you hear the world's greatest oatmeal salesman tell the story of the turpentine miracle, you may find yourself pondering the stories you remember from your own father. This can be a very philosophical thing to do, because the stories of the father always shed light on the story of the storyteller.
