On this episode, Brett regurgitates some of the most "creative" backronyms scientists have ever pieced together. (Sprites, Ghosts, Elves, etc.) But it's worth the trouble because upper-atmospheric lightening is fascinating. Then Josh deep dives into a Tom Clancy action classic with enough hyper-specific military jargon to justify his throbbing tactical boner. Set in the '90s, with "quaint" terrorists (that still apparently deserve red-misted skulls), the world-ending viral plot feels different in a post-Covid world. It's time for the thick but perfectly-paced novel: Rainbow Six.
