Lift and Separate - S03E19 Tower of Technobabble

In a slightly-abbreviated episode, we look at the hormonal minefield that is teenage dating, why cosplay armor would be a terrible idea in actual battle, and look at the next technological innovation that Congress won't understand but will try to legislate anyway.
