Smallest living thing in the human body?
Summary
James O'Brien hosts Mystery Hour, where listeners pose questions and others provide answers. Topics include why chefs wear checkered trousers, the texture difference between Whispers and Flakes, and the evolutionary purpose of crying. Callers also address where drought water goes, why mice gnaw wires, and why smells cannot be recalled. O'Brien shares trivia about Frank Sinatra’s contractual obligation for the role in Die Hard and mocks Kemi Badenoch’s political gaffs.
