About this episode
Episode 557
Nick the Rat cracks open a torch seltzer and dives into the week's weirdest science headlines — a full fruit fly brain map with 130,000+ neurons, and researchers implanting human brain organoids into living mice. Between rants about AI, Black Mirror plot holes, and a very confused pest control call, this episode somehow also becomes a full Halloween candy tier list ranking everything from Reese's to candy corn.
Live callers join in to argue over Jolly Ranchers, debate whether Kit Kats deserve top tier, and question just how much taxpayer money goes into slicing fly brains with electron microscopes. It's science news, Halloween candy chaos, and sewer nonsense all in one unhinged broadcast — value-for-value, no scripts, just vibes.
