Join us as we attempt to assemble this fragmented monster of an episode! So many legs. So many pop culture references. So many research papers to sift through! We try our best to separate fact from video game, and find ourselves caught in the crossfire between science and media. Our reputation may be at stake, but in the end…our mutual fascination with poop may unite us all!
