Episode 51: Chip Off The Old Block

This week Shauna and Dan talk about the origins of "Chip Off The Old Block", including when we added the extra 'F' to the phrase. Plus, they get lost down a Bunny Trail of Michelangelo and the Sistine Chapel which spawned a bonus episode on Patreon. Also, Dan gets confused about crabs... and animals in general. #BunnyTrails
