Kidnapped by scientists who dress like Nazis, but aren’t actually Nazis, the trio is pushed to try a radical new procedure that would make them temporarily gay. With the life of a young child on the line, they have to confront their own concept of sexuality and identity and make a potentially life changing choice and end up offending just about everyone. Then it gets kind of boring, but there’s a twist ending and a guy with mutant feet.

Andrew, Brian and Justin answer some listener scenarios. After revealing Brian’s deep-seated desire that the world go pantless post apocalypse, we find out how shockingly willing Brian is to switch teams and genders without actually being asked to do so. We explore the practical problems of someone who looks like Justin claiming to have a magical genii and find out about his experience in the wild frontier of Chat Roulette where he is accorded the dignity and respect he deserves for going there in the first place. We also talk about our admiration for men in leather and sometimes no leather at all wrestling and trying to kill each other.
