All this, along with our usual derailments and ratholes for your listening “pleasure”.

Content was good, funny as usual. Found the backwards thing to be a bit confusing. The downside of this episode is that its hard to listen to in a number of spots. There’s a lot of people talking over each other in this episode.
Thanks for the feedback, we’re glad you’re enjoying the show. I’ll do my best as a host in the future to make people shut up when they’re supposed to, but until TCP/IP allows for electric shocks as a supported protocol, it may be difficult.
Awesome episode as always. I feel much safer now that i know the world’s best scientist are aware of the potential dangers of space kimchi.
HIHI
the show was great, confusing as usual, but still awsome.
XD Kimchi is awsome, I’ve had it explode in my fridge too.
I wonder what would happen if I feed it to a monkey in space and then stuck the monkey near the solar rays?
hehehe I know XD
anyway Awsome show like usual
