As we anxiously but stoically await the impending Rapture, Sylvie and Alyssa visit some of life's most important questions, like, "should something be called a ketchup if it's made with bananas?", and "is knowing your dog's body fat percentage the true key to happiness?" Ponder those and more, in our collective final moments before the eclipse whisks us away to the next plane of existence. Hey, Chums!
