Brent’s out sick (again—we suspect “banana flu”), so Kevin Crispin of Behind Beautiful Things returns to the co-host seat, bravely facing the weird without a net or a breathalyzer.
First up: were our primate ancestors a bunch of jungle drunks? New research says our ability to metabolize alcohol might trace back to apes that got buzzed on fermented fruit. Evolution’s happy hour, anyone?
Then we cast our bleary eyes skyward at Comet 3I (aka ATLAS), which some folks think might not be a comet at all… but an alien probe. Is it just icy space junk—or are E.T.’s creepy cousins doing a flyby?
It’s an interstellar cocktail of cosmic conspiracy and evolutionary inebriation this week as Kevin and Conspiracy Bot try not to spill their drinks... or their dignity.
