(Don’t worry, though: Aaron successfully derails him with funny voices.) Also, Aaron asks how we can guess the number of asteroids we’re not aware of, and YR4 challenges Donald Trump for some reason or other.

Trending today: a new national survey shows sustained support for LGBTQ rights in America, despite political attacks from the right. 67 percent of Americans are in favor of legalized same-sex marriage (including a majority in all 50 states), and 75 percent support laws protecting LGBTQ people from discrimination. (And yes, that includes transgender folks too.) Also, Victor urges everyone (yes, everyone) to run for office this year, and Aaron remembers the smartest thing he’s ever heard a politician say.

Trending today: an imbalance in US-Canada relations, with Canadians feeling much worse about Americans these days. Victor’s got the numbers, from a recent cross-national survey – but Aaron’s got the anecdotes, from his trip to Montreal last week. (It’s not Americans that Canadians hate, it’s the U.S. government – but that still leads to tension, with “BUY CANADIAN” signs all over downtown and noticeable discomfort when the Star-Spangled Banner is sung before hockey games. For example.)
