In this episode we’re meeting the 19th century humorist, journalist and author known for his witty satirical columns and depictions of western life.

1. Mush and Melody has Mr. Nye attempting to provide a grand solution for a non-problem, providing that if you squint hard enough anything can turn into a crisis. 
2. ‘Flying Machines’ showcases a range of aerial contraptions that hover somewhere between ‘mildly impressive’ and ‘why on Earth would anyone try that?’ 
3. In ‘The Amateur Carpenter’ Nye really  leans into the amateur part; the results of these carpentry projects may resemble disasters.
4. Up next is ‘One Kind of Fool’ with Nye’s portrait of a young drifter who’s about as skilled at lying as a toddler trying to play poker. 
5. And to wrap up, Bill Nye draws a curious parallel between his prose and the illustrious Noah Webster, proving that even in writing, comparisons can stretch the limits of credulity.
