On this week's episode the boys investigate popcorn lung and how many holes the human body really has. Is it 2? 7? maybe a couple trillion? I'm not really sure tbh Jeremy got a little philosophical towards the end. It's kinda like the ending to 2001: A Space Odyssey where get to come up with your own interpretation. This episode was not directed by Stanley Kubrick.
