This episode is packed with the most serious of topics: everything from science to dystopia to farts. We start with an in-depth discussion of fart jar science and connoisseurship. We then learn that the Earth is getting a Black Box (like in planes!) and we quote Carl Sagan. Do we really need a lickable TV? Bryan's not buying one anytime soon. There is more speculation about biological life on Venus and we quote Carl Sagan again. Tom gets very excited about Hamsters being able to drink. The Pope says "Have Kids not Pets" and Bryan has a lot to say about that. And we close out with dumb people's obsession with celebrity.
