| 0:00.6 | Hey, Wendy Zookam in here. Our new season will be kicking off in just two weeks. |
| 0:06.8 | That's right. Set the calendar. Just getting some finishing touches on it. |
| 0:11.2 | But today we have something very special. So for the last month, we've been replaying our greatest |
| 0:16.4 | hits episodes that you guys voted for. And we've gone through the drugs category, the wellness |
| 0:21.6 | category. But today is a very special day because we are announcing which episode was voted |
| 0:29.7 | the best science versus episode of all time. And with me here is our editor, |
| 0:36.8 | Black Terrell. Hi, Black. Hey, Wendy. So we tallied up the results and two episodes tied |
| 0:45.3 | for the top spot. Again, we had another, another tie breaker. One of them, I think, benefited |

| 1:44.4 | loved it or they were like, nope, nope, nope, nope, nope, nope, don't even want to listen to it. |
| 1:50.8 | Never polarizing. Polarizing. Polarizing episode. Yes. Love it. |
| 1:54.9 | And I'm here to congratulate you, Blithe, because you produced this episode. |
| 2:01.3 | It is, in fact, composting human bodies. What? What? What? Yes. That is surprising. |
| 2:10.4 | Our episode on whether you should die by composting your body. How do you feel, Blithe? Yeah. |
| 2:16.8 | I mean, right. I'm afraid it's like that one askers where they open the, they say the wrong name |
