2 – Extra, but on a Different Level – Buster Keaton


August 10, 2021

About the Episode

Buster Keaton was a man who hated peach trees, loved trains, and definitely should’ve died a lot earlier in his life than he did.

Sierra learns about vaudeville performers and the price of trains while Colin talks about Buster Keaton, a man who seems to have lived for way too long. We talk about gender reveal parties, the strength a child needs to pick up a brick, and how one man wrecked an entire river with a train.
