This episode contains: We talk about how quarantine continues to affect us and our lives. Steven is having a tough time with his kids and Ben is having a better time with work.

Why don't we replace more body parts with jello?: The first cartilage-mimicking gel that's strong enough for knees has been developed. Cartilage provides a combination of cushiony-yet-strong that hydrogels haven't been able to match, until now. New hydrogel consists of stretchy spaghetti-like strands, rigid and basketlike strands, and a meshwork of cellulose fibers.

Science Fiction: Ben received the Tales From the Loop book and gives us the run-down. Some of the book reminds Steven of a book he read in 1997: Footprints of Thunder. Ben (and his son) played 'A Short Hike' on PC and highly recommends it. Steven continues to play The Last of Us Part 2 and it still very taken with it. Slight spoilers for the beginning of the game. Steven has been reading the 2015 book Star Wars: Aftermath and talks a bit about it. Ben has seen the pilot for Doom Patrol and says it's really good.
