Summary

This week is high octane! We get an update on the preserved tattoo skin of Chris Wenzel. Turns out human remains are fair game when it comes to seizure of assets. Then some FANTASTIC news coming out of the EU. The European Space Agency has opened up its application for its next batch of astronauts. Added to the list of accepted applicants are folks living with physical disabilities! We break down this news and hear from our past guests Caden and Jim Teneycke who live with dwarfism to get their take on the exciting space exploration announcement! Finally, we cover a case report that is too fast & too furious. Find out what happens when you mistake NOS octane booster with NOS energy drink... Yikes.
