Episode 78 - 05/28/18 - Producer Mike’s Longest Episode

Join Six Degrees for producer Mike's longest episode, in which he is so angry his co-hosts started late that he cuts them off even before their first segue...

The world doesn't disappoint in its strangeness; this episode's articles range from trying to prove small talk can actually be interesting to how a turtle can breathe through its genitals.  Oh, and did you already think platypuses (platypi...) were impossibly weird?  Well, prepare yourself to be blown away yet again by their bizarre genetic make up.
