"How can you say to your neighbor, 'Let me take the speck out of your eye' while there is a wriggling bioluminescent parasitic worm attracting fish in your own eye?" At least, I'm pretty sure that's how that saying goes...

This week we carefully wade into the world of parasites, symbioses, child birth, and the general decimation of large populations. Fun, right? We did the math, and this episode should take far less time to listen to than extracting a guinea worm.

What's hairy, sneaks up on you and has 8 ... erm... sentences? Why, it's the description of this episode, of course!

Join us as we come to the realisation that we are really bad at estimating quantities while learning just how hungry spiders can get. We discuss why cities are paving the way for the spider apocalypse. There's a cooking segment. It's really got something for everybody.

Unless you're arachnophobic. Or a finch.

What do we want? Tim to make race car noises! When do we want it? Neoooow!

This episode is devoted to all things adrenaline filled: eating foie gras, driving into swamps (plural!!), amateur Ben-Hur remakes, booby traps, painting cane toads, racing while blind, racing while drunk.

Basically everything but Bathurst.

JJ also popped by to give us his side of the teddy bear haunting story from our Tattoos episode.
