Hannah was super busy fending off water bugs this weekend, and apparently forgot to email herself the notes she's prepared for this week's episode (and didn't realize that fact until 2 minutes before Katy arrived for recording.) So, this week is kind of a cobbled together, last minute, pulled from the archives of Evernote, episode. And, to keep with the chaotic theme of recording, we picked a chaotic topic: the humanzee (aka: the hypothetical human--chimpanzee crossbreed). Is it real? Is it possible? Is it ethical? The girls discuss all the questions while sipping on milkshakes (sorry) and wine. From adorable (real) crossbreeds like zonkeys and grolar bears, to scientific questions that probably shouldn't have been asked in the first place (and definitely shouldn't have been answered), you'll be a little smarter whether you want to or not, by the end of this.

So pour the drinks, or go out and get a Reese's Peanut Butter Cup milkshake from wherever makes the best milkshakes in your town, and join us for this weird, and a little bit creepy, episode!
