This very special holiday episode starts with Ben on vacation and the holiday spirits he's consuming during the show. The guys talk about Apple TV remotes and then the food safety talk really kicks in with a long meandering discussion on dishwashers, and dish washers (and chicken washers who wash dishes). The conversation goes to some follow-up fake USDA (and FDA) inspection logos on food. The show ends with a AB CDC+ (but of the FDA BCDC+ variety) on three outbreaks of an unknown source, and some COVID talk.

What explains the gap? There are several explanations , but first, remember these numbers only represent probabilities." / Twitter
