Bionic Bodies and Solving the World's Problems

What does it look like when we merge with tech? And how do we get people to solve the world's biggest problems? [21:56]

This week, special guest Matt Ward, Joey, and Aaron talk about Jack Horner, "our fat, lazy selves," the Bystander Effect, a series of extremely bleak world problems, hamburgers, and great robes. They don't talk about which host would match to which Hogwarts house if they were wizards.
