Summary

We’re Duscher-less this week but we’re joined by George and Demi from Grin and Dandy to help answer another incredible pop culture question. This time we’re going back in time with only the information contained within our rotten brains to try and exploit those past-os for personal profit or financial gain. The only problem is we aren’t clever nor do we retain information well. Zammit tries a harebrained scheme to invent the wheel but gets too caught up in coconuts and doesn’t fundamentally understand how wheels work, Jackson wants to domesticate dogs early and wants to immediately break the rules and bring back a dog, George has a brilliant idea to make a cult and Demi wants to bring back an ear worm which made Zammit think of that horrible film he hates Yesterday so changes his answer to ensuring that he Yesterdays Yesterday.
