Episode Description
It's Pi Day at the Grit City Podcast! The crew tackles the big questions: Is it a crumble, a crisp, or a cobbler? Why are people panic-buying for 4 inches of snow? And how many minutes are we actually from a nuclear holocaust? Mike shares harrowing stories from his submarine days, Jeff reminisces about the "glowing" history of Hanford, and the guys preview the upcoming PNW Pinball Convention. Plus, a look at the horror-western Bone Tomahawk and why Jeff carries grandpa-sized bags of Werther’s Originals.
