In this episode, the boys tackle human evolution. Why did we stop being monkeys? Were cavemen humans or something else? And are we still evolving today? Stream away to hear Brandon explain it all (despite being quite a bit higher than usual). Plus, they manage to squeeze both Jack Nicholson and Bill Nye impressions in there, so that’s something.

What's Blood?

In this episode, we talk about everyone’s favorite red liquid: blood! (Sorry, fruit punch fans...). We cover all the basics, like how do bones make our blood? How did blood evolve?

What’s consciousness? And why does weed make it so much better?

In our 4/20 special, Matt and Brandon discuss how weed affects your perception of the world around you—how does the brain work and how could a chemical alter that? We also get into a host of other topics, like what best rhymes with “New Year’s”, how to pronounce “Alzheimer’s”, and the different kinds of memory a computer uses. And you thought we were exaggerating when we said it was a special episode...
