Shownotes

Sharks are quietly fixing their own DNA, politicians are milking perks that would never survive the pub test, and the DeLorean turns out to be a stainless-steel flop. Luke and the Millennial pinball from fake road-law panic, giant chicken pranks and Australia’s weirdest Google searches into James Ward’s brutal DeLorean autopsy and Dr Rob’s shark-cancer science lesson, before parking it in the Man Cave with Jason Morrison and Adam McDonald to ask who’s really evolving faster – us, them, or the sharks.
