Episode notes
The speaker shares their disbelief at encountering quicksand on a Massachusetts beach near their home, questioning why there were no warning signs. They express surprise that quicksand, typically associated with exotic locations, could be found so close to everyday places like Dunkin' Donuts. The speaker humorously relates to comedian John Mulaney's realization that quicksand, a prominent feature in cartoons, is not a common occurrence in adult life as anticipated from childhood media.
