    Heraclitus' fragments come together, to life, and towards its antitheses, in this fantastic metaphysical journey. Forty years after Orion's Cartwheels hitchhiking circumnavigation of the planet, Steve of the Jacuzzi returns to accompany the good doctor, on another series of road trips, to Alsace and Central Africa and Tennessee, in a penultimate bucket list Grand Tour. Together, they experience issues of survival on an interstellar Worldship, the epiphanies of perfect late harvest wine, tracking of gorillas in the Impenetrable Forest, a general who fought too much (while another fought not at all), and the thrill of the world's most famous barbecue competition. Catch it, in the air.

    Figure skater training in the Christmas capital, and torn between becoming a pair skater or staying on the synchronized skating team, receives a weird message. [Instagram] Pickles on toast wants to send you a message. *** I have one major rule in my life when it comes to talking to people: always say the same thing when they want to know more about you. "See Germany, France and Switzerland? Great, see the city where the European parliament is? That's where I live. And train, I'm a sync skater." Usually, they start asking about synchronized skating. No one ever knows what it is, as all they hear about is figure skating. So, as always, I explain this sport, which prevents me from actually talking about myself. Oh, well... I used to be a sync skater and I can no longer use this technique anymore. And now, he wants to know more.
