    Where Is Justin?

    That's what he wants to know. Where in his brain does his mind actually lie? Why does the brain have to reward him to do necessary behaviors like eating? Where is the fun in living with a Big Brother brain?

    We also discuss: the massive power generated when you combine millions of jellyfish into one; Scanning the brains many states; Just how many alien civilizations might there be; Colonizing outer space; Why robots should have babysitters on the battlefield; How mosquito bites are helping medicine; and the best way to calculate where water on Earth came from.

    Music on the show was by Unbalanced Wheel, Daniel Messer, The Amygdaloids, and The Gifted Apes.

    Listen to it all here.
