Show Description

Do you mind if we do a 'deepie' tonight? Necessities to stay alive Aphrodisiacs - Absinth, Durian Shep reads an article about the Durian and why it is so controversial - it STINKS. In East Africa the elephants eat a fruit from the trees which forments in their bellies and intoxicates them. Shep closes the show by asking what is the name of that fruit? He doesn't say. It is the Marula
