In this caffeinated episode of Tell Me What You Know, hosts Michael and Michael dive deep into the world's most beloved stimulant - coffee. From discussing their personal brewing methods (including Michael's moka pot technique and his honest admission about using a Keurig) to exploring the fascinating history of how coffee may have fueled the Enlightenment and Industrial Revolution, this episode covers everything from bean to cup. The hosts break down the science behind light, medium, and dark roasts, explain the differences between espresso drinks like cappuccinos and flat whites, and even venture into some of the world's most expensive coffees - including the infamous civet cat poop coffee that can cost up to $600 per pound. Whether you're a casual coffee drinker or someone who considers coffee a hobby, this episode offers insights into how this simple beverage has shaped human culture and continues to drive our daily routines. Plus, you'll get Michael's take on why hipsters love coffee shops so much and a frank discussion about coffee's, shall we say, digestive effects.

After 100 episodes covering everything from cicadas to NFTs, hosts Michael and Michael celebrate this milestone by diving into the surprisingly limited world of blimps. With only 25 active blimps worldwide and half of those actually flying, the duo explores how these "true marvels of technical achievement" have evolved from military surveillance tools to floating billboards. Along the way, they uncover the Goodyear blimp's $20 million upgrade from non-rigid to semi-rigid, Led Zeppelin's connection to Keith Moon's "lead balloon" joke, and why Michelin—yes, the tire company—started rating restaurants to sell more tires.

I am just completely changing the show note. And adding a different link to Borderline Media Company.

We’re dining out (heh) and discussing the crème de la crème when it comes to restaurants. Most everyone knows about Michelin tires, but did you know that this same company is responsible for grading the top restaurants in the world? That’s right — the company that makes the tires many of you drive on every day is responsible for handing out Michelin Stars.

Blimps are a true marvel of technical achievement. I guess you’d say that. It sounds like the pep talk blimps need in order to keep going. Don’t worry about the setbacks of the Hindenburg, the further advancement of the airplane, and nowadays don’t even worry about the increase use of drones. I mean you don’t hear people asking if their new drone is rigid or semi-rigid. Take that flying car industry. Like that’s gonna catch on. Stay tuned for Blimps as we take you from non-rigid to semi-rigid on this centennial episode of Tell Me What You Know. Here's to the next 100 episodes.

In this episode of Tell Me What You Know we’re taking a look at a couple conspiracies. We’ve covered conspiracies in the past but we thought we would return to a couple that might make your neck hair tingle. First up, we look at another one of these right wing stories of a child sex trafficking ring, this time at a butterfly center in Texas. Those spreading this story would lead you to believe the National Butterfly Center in Mission, Texas is not actually helping caterpillars make their metamorphosis into a beautiful butterfly but in fact the center of a plot to facilitate child sex trafficking. We dig into how this story got started and why the 100-acre preserve decided to close it’s doors. Then, we’re looking at that big shiny object in the sky, earth’s little cousin, the Moon. Learn about a number of conspiracies that have spread through the years and at least one that has an annoying man punched in the face by Buzz Aldrin. Take this journey with us as we find out what’s on the Dark side of the moon, welcome to Tell Me What You Know.
