In November, 1970, a dead whale washed ashore the Oregon coast.  After some deliberation, officials decided to blow up the carcass.  KATU news ran a now-famous story about the event which has been examined, parodied, and inspired a few songs.  Mike and Dan talk about the news coverage as "a perfect movie."  So be sure you're far away from the blast radius and give it a listen!
