Join us in Minneapolis for a special live recording of "That's a Good Question" with our delightful guest, my grandmother, Clara Korb. We kick off with the logistics of my flight and a funny story about a game download gone awry. Grandma Clare brings her unique perspective on Midwest living, the quirks of hay fever, and precious family memories. We even chat about how foods like hummus impact our health and the value of community support for our elders.
Next, we ponder the fascinating idea that humans might experience up to 27 different senses. From proprioception to the sense of gravity, we explore how these senses influence our daily lives and set us apart from animals. Our chat delves into the cognitive abilities that make humans unique and what a richer sensory experience could mean for our understanding of the world. It's an enlightening conversation that spans science, philosophy, and everyday life.
Finally, we take a trip down memory lane with stories of fire dancers, firecrackers, and playful pranks like soaping windows. Our nostalgic journey continues with reflections on 1930s Christmas traditions, childhood belief in Santa Claus, and the magic of metaphors. We wrap up with some whimsical musings on creative collaboration and metaphorical motorcycle trips, underscoring the importance of taking initiative and savoring humorous moments. Tune in for a heartfelt episode brimming with laughter, wisdom, and thought-provoking insights.
