Dogs as Zombie Detection, Meat Vending Machines, Sicario Bologna, The Pretentious Gold Cube Artist, Showdown at the Golden Corral

Our accidental theme this week is Dogs and Meats. Our first story includes an "expert" on dogs' olfactory senses and their ability to sniff out zombies. Our second story is about meat-based vending machines in Germany and Singapore (thanks, COVID!). Then, we continue with a story about contraband bologna brought into the US from Mexico. Tom discloses another art story. This time it's about a very pretentious artist who believes highly in the magic of . . . gold. We then detour and talk about what profession Tom will take up during the apocalypse. We meet a "Mother of the Year" who told her kids to stay in the basement and "Just eat candy," while she vacationed in Florida.  Our last story involves a showdown over steak at The Golden Corral. This week in Duh includes crime and Florida.
