Topic: Dijon

Dijon, France, experienced significant unrest as armed Chechen gangs clashed with local groups, leading to calls for increased police intervention. The mention of Dijon prompted an anecdote about the quality of French's Dijon mustard and a story from 1989 involving a Rolls Royce Silver Shadow II running out of gas in the Lincoln Tunnel, much to the chagrin of New York commuters.

Producers from Westerwald, Germany, and Gross Point, Michigan, contributed to the show, sparking a discussion about the quality of Dijon mustard in America. One producer suggested Edmund Fallot as a remedy for "flat" American mustard, while others noted that Trader Joe's (owned by the German company Aldi) offers a more authentic version. The segment concludes with birthday wishes for listeners and a call for continued support of the independent network.

A discussion regarding the declining pungency of Dijon mustard sold at Costco leads to an anecdote about driving a Rolls Royce Silver Shadow II in Manhattan during the 1980s. The story details how frequent references to the "Pardon me, do you have any Grey Poupon?" television commercial prompted the keeping of a jar in the glove box. Differences between American-licensed Grey Poupon and authentic French-made versions found in Canada are also noted.

The French national railway SNCF mistakenly posted a report on its website claiming 102 people died in a high-speed train explosion between Paris and Dijon. The company later clarified the post was a pretend scenario for an internal training exercise that was accidentally made public. Skepticism is raised regarding the specificity of the casualty numbers and the timing of the release.
