Missed Corrections

“On Episode 88: Monkey Buskers, around 25:48, Lee mentioned that he thought Ellen Page was motion captured for the role of Ellie in The Last Of Us 2013 video game. Well, it was actually actress Ashley Johnson, who was also the speaking voice for Ellie in the game. Ellen Page WAS motion captured (and her exact likeness used) for the main character, Jodie, in another PlayStation exclusive game that same year called Beyond: Two Souls. The cordyceps fungus Marc asked about was actually the fungus that inspired The Last of Us' fictional zombie infection. ("What if cordyceps, but people") But I must inform Marc that it was, in fact, David Attenborough, not Richard, who narrated the BBC special: Cordyceps: Attack of the Killer Fungi.” - Mo

“Remember when I was trying to give an example of a thing that older people don’t know much about and I said “MARINA DEL REY”?! - Erin

“What is the difference between bugs and insects? True bugs have a stylet (a mouth shaped like a straw) that they use to suck juices from plants.” - Lee
