Ever considered taking a puffin to the rave? Rob suggests you do just that on this week's show. PLUS talk of lizards, spiritual (and literal) third eyes, and the potential correlation between glowing beaks and avian sexytimes. You're welcome.
Is everything just a simulation? Rob's losing sleep over the prospect of brains being transplanted into computers in the future. Look out, you terminal disease haters!
In what is destined to become a recurring topic, Rob begins an exploration of the finer points of time travel and those who claim to have done so. In the words of a texter: "What do we want? / Time travel! / When do we want it? / That's irrelevant!"
What the sh*t's a 'fatberg'? Well, apparently there's one in the British Museum, so they must be cool (or stolen). Made from coagulated fat and human leavings, you can even get one on a t-shirt. A picture of one. Not an actual.
