Gerard Dean Peters returns to talk to us about the recent discovery that there's way more Black Holes than we thought, the fact that marathon runners have a special runners' biome and what's the deal with roving jewelry. Plus we look into what Neil Armstrong or Buzz would have done if they had gotten stuck on the moon.
