Matt and Ryan pop the cork on a finely matured r/nostupidquestions inquiry in which an asker needs to know the carnal dangers of combining toots and toys. Then they do their best not to get tripped up by another r/nostupidquestions topic seeking to know the etiquette of watching someone else take a spill. Next they try to figure out how the world would be a different place if men experienced menstrual cycles. Then they do their best to describe their eggplant emojis with a movie title. Finally, they discuss an image of a book met with controversy and anger on r/antinatalism.

Matt and Ryan kind of sort of answer a listener question about who was worse between two Byzantine Empresses. Then they address a report from the Daily Beast about a South African man who fell victim to a Jaeger induced illness. Then they go to an r/NoStupidQuestion about how a magician turned off a TV in the early 1990s without using the remote. Then they discuss a post from r/conspiracy calling into question the authenticity of images from the James Webb Space Telescope. Finally, they discuss an alleged act that caused a mass melee on the open seas.

On this week's episode, Ryan tracks Matt down and forgets to make a Dr. Livingstone reference. The hosts record live and in person for the first time, sacrificing audio quality like a fatted calf on the altar of basic human companionship. They tell you what they did in Philly, take on the folks next door having loud, obnoxious hotel . Then they dig into why humans need to cook their food while our fellow animals get to tear into the raw stuff. Finally, they parse out what to call a straight guy who prefers the friendship of men.

Shakin' Shaner from What's Shakin' With Shaner keeps Matt's seat warm as he and Ryan get under the hood of Pixar's Cars franchise to figure out what's going on with Lightning McQueen's Finn McMissile. Then they discuss a photoset making the rounds on social media that depicts a surprisingly conventional Fourth of July party in an unconventional place. Then they discuss the mysterious appearance of a Viking runestone in Minnesota, home of the late great artist formerly known as Prince. Finally they finish with a California court ruling that makes a surprising taxological decision. 

On today's episode, Ryan's old boss Dr. Brad Hafford fills in for Matt to talk about a couple popular myths associated with the ancient city of Ur. This episode is 100% archaeology. Ryan and Brad talk about a busty Roman hanging out at a thrift shop in Texas, and seek to answer the all important question "what IS a museum" without smoking any OG kush at all. Then they discuss a pair of ancient Mesopotamian businessman (one of whom you may already know). Finally they take on a claim from r/conspiracy that asserts that mysterious artifacts may be the key to powering ancient flood lights.
