Episode Guide:

Beers of the Week:

• Hop Raider by New Belgium (Asheville, NC) - 3.50
• Bigfoot by Sierra Nevada (Mills River, NC) - Rating: 2.50

Facts of the Week:

• Your brain is constantly eating itself. This process is called phagocytosis, where cells envelop and consume smaller cells or molecules to remove them from the system. Don’t worry! Phagocytosis isn't harmful, but actually helps preserve your gray matter.
• The largest piece of fossilized dinosaur poop discovered is over 30cm long and over two liters in volume. Believed to be a Tyrannosaurus rex turd, the fossilized dung (also named a 'coprolite') is helping scientists better understand what the dinosaur ate.
• Animals can experience time differently from humans. To smaller animals, the world around them moves more slowly compared to humans. Salamanders and lizards, for example, experience time more slowly than cats and dogs. This is because the perception of time depends on how quickly the brain can process incoming information.
• The world’s oldest dog lived to 29.5 years old. While the median age a dog reaches tends to be about 10-15 years, one Australian cattle dog, ‘Bluey’, survived to the ripe old age of 29.5.
• The world’s oldest cat lived to be 38 years and three days old. Creme Puff was the oldest cat to ever live.
• NASA genuinely faked part of the Moon landing. While Neil Armstrong's first steps on the lunar surface were categorically not faked, the astronaut quarantine protocol when the astronauts arrived back on Earth was largely just one big show.
• Platypuses sweat milk. This is because it doesn't have teats. Milk appears as sweat on a platypus, but it's an aquatic mammal so it doesn't actually sweat at all.

Friendly Advice:

• The next time your significant other gets angry, drape a towel over her shoulders (like a cape) and say, “ now you’re SUPER ANGRY!” Maybe she’ll laugh. Maybe you’ll die.
• My advice to anyone at an unpaid internship - steal from them. Big stuff too. Take the copier. Roll it right onto the elevator.
• Alcohol does not give you answers, but it certainly helps forget the question.
• If you swim with a friend, your chances of getting eaten by a shark will drop by 50%.
• Don’t make snow angels in a dog park.
• My father once told me, "Son, if you want people to listen to what you have to say, claim it's something your father told you."
