Summary
Molly, Tess and Emily embrace the many-sexed indeterminately specied newly discovered blob creature of our dreams. Then we talk about how scientists implanted birds with false memories (chill!) and devices spying on podcasts you listen to and serving you Swedish fish ads. Then we are joined by special guest Karina Longworth, who tells us about the new season of her podcast You Must Remember This, focused on Disney’s Song Of The South. Why did Disneyland build a whole ride about a racist cartoon they scrubbed from existence? Why did Bob Iger call it the one thing you’ll never find on Disney Plus? Did humans truly land on the moon? And will we ever live on an exoplanet? Find out on a Night Call to remember.

| 1:31.5 | Hi, this may be too soon following the worm with eyes on its butt, but the pair of zoo has a blob that has no mouth, no stomach, and no eyes, but it can detect food and digest it. It also has 720 sexes, can move without legs or wings and heals itself when cut in half. Oh, and it apparently learns, too. Sleep well, Josh. I will sleep well. I, because I love this blob. I'm obsessed with it. It looks kind of like yellow lace. Yeah, it kind of has a coral |
