About this episode

The episode discusses various topics including the speed of the ISS, hydronics, and experiences during Winter Storm Fern.

Episode 695: How fast is the ISS traveling? By what factor is it calculated? Is parallax for pooping or a method of measurement? Andrew learns hydronics so he can heat his floor before he shoots a wolf in the face with rock-salt. A PGH bus runs over another student. Andrew and Brett brave Winter Storm Fern for 3 days clearing all their driveways and providing their workers with sub-par Arby’s sandwiches. A Chevy Malibu loses its bumper.
