After a discussion on the proposed drone “superhighway”, the confirmation of the existence of ECHELON, and how drinking 28 Redbulls a day might not be the smartest dietary choice, we examine the new scientific field of plant neurobiology and the questions it raises about plant consciousness.

In the later part of the show we then switch gears to cover heart stealing dwarves, gnome abductions, and X-Games Exorcisms.
