Listen "S2 E8: Saguaro, Sahuaro, Let's Call the Whole Thing Off"
Episode Synopsis
In this delightfully dusty episode, Ken and Doc dive headfirst into the linguistic desert of Arizona, where even the cacti spark debate. Ken insists on “Sahuaro” like a true old-school Sonoran, while Doc defends “Saguaro” with botanical conviction—sparking an unwitting pronunciation standoff that’s as thorny as the cactus itself.But the real chaos begins when a monstrous dust storm rolls in, toppling trees like matchsticks and coating everything in a fine layer of desert drama. The duo wrestles with the absurdity of calling these storms “Haboobs”—a term that sounds more like a rejected band name than a meteorological event. Cue the jokes, the disbelief, and a few awkward attempts to say it with a straight face.Then things take a darker turn as Doc unearths the chilling tale of the Oatman Massacre—a brutal 1800's ambush that left seven members of the Oatman family dead and led to the capture of young Olive and Mary Ann Oatman. The story unfolds by tracing Olive’s survival, her years among the Mohave, and the haunting legacy she carried back into settler society.Expect dry wit, historical grit, and a whole lot of desert weirdness. This episode is a whirlwind—literally and figuratively.
