Put Out the Fire

In materials science, quenching is the rapid cooling of a workpiece in water, gas, oil, polymer, air, or other fluids to obtain certain material properties. A type of heat treating, quenching prevents undesired low-temperature processes, such as phase transformations, from occurring. It does this by reducing the window of time during which these undesired reactions are both thermodynamically favorable and kinetically accessible; for instance, quenching can reduce the crystal grain size of both metallic and plastic materials, increasing their hardness. All that has fuck all to do with this week's episode.

If Randy were to title this episode, he'd probably call it "There's nothing burning!" or possibly "Why didn't Rog' put gong on this track?"

Today's episode covers the side two opener to Hot Space, Brian's gun-law-hoo-haw, "Put Out the Fire"

NOTE: Skip forward to 11:58 if wanna get straight into the manifestations and wheel spin.

The song featured at the end of this week's episode is Bode's Galaxy, by Randy's former band, Absofunkinlutely. Check it out here: https://youtu.be/lB7iaAnZOZc
