191 - Irregular Verb Story: The (Funny) Invention of the Microwave

It helps you make your oatmeal in 90 seconds and reheat your pizza in 30. Some of you love it; others are skeptical, with concerns it might cause brain damage. What am I talking about? Microwaves, of course!

The story of how the microwave was discovered (or invented!) is weird and very funny—and it all went down in Massachusetts.

To make this story extra valuable, I've added 20 irregular verbs to it. How many did you catch?
