Show Notes
Jeb and Blake head into cold as we look at the episode titled "Cryogenics." Yes, there is a lot of legitimate discussion of the science of freezing - but there's also a lot of optimistic coverage of "Cryonics," the much more questionable idea of freezing people for a later thawing and restoration. CONTENT WARNING: This episode contains images of dead people, frozen semen, animal harm, terrible puns, and some naughty curse words.
