Kira checks in from Florida and joins Ross to discuss the issues involved in cloning pets and celebrities (and celebrities cloning pets).  Tangents include:  "Spray Burn"; Moper dogs; Custody battles; Lula; Moper kids; Vincent Van Gough; personal pan Taylor Swift; sheep as pets; "Diaper" Bjork; Friedrich the dog; closet clones.  That chewing sound you hear during the first half of the show is not a sound effect: it is a real dog chewing (the dog is NOT a clone however).
