Anvils Raining from the Sky

In this podcast episode, the hosts explore the question of 'What if it rained anvils?' The hosts discuss the potential dangers of anvils falling from the sky and how it would impact daily life. They imagine people using umbrellas to shield themselves from falling anvils, drawing inspiration from Looney Tunes cartoons. Although the hosts admit to never having seen an anvil in person, they speculate on the few occasions when they might encounter anvils, such as at a Renaissance fair or in a blacksmith's shop.
