In this episode, Donny Almonds walks us through the complexities of the Coefficient of Thermal Expansion, how he met Professor Delgado, and yet another bad life decision by Ralphie LaBella. Join us as we go back to 1975, where the bell-bottoms are wide, the polyester suits are tight, and the mood rings are always purple.
