Episode description

In this week's episode, Julian tracks the history of toilet paper to its source, Trace gives a gorilla some workout advice, and special guest Vanessa Hill grows a whole human after an unfortunate fireworks accident.

QUESTIONS

Julian: "Before the invention of toilet paper, how did people relieve their bottom as to not clog the pipes?" From Vanessa

Trace: "How strong could a gorilla be if it knew proper bodybuilding techniques?" from listener Jaren K.

Vanessa: "With just a little chunk of my tissue and blood, how much could an alien figure out about what humans are and look like, and specifically what about me could they find out?" from listener Aaron H.
