This week, Ben and Pascual chat a bit about being pedantic, and how it sometimes can be a good thing. Ben is skeptical about some new developments in the "Blue Whale" urban legend, and Pascual takes some sketchy claims about sunscreen and cancer to task. As always, Celestia drops in for another awesome fortune cookie.

For our Patrons, we've included a bonus segment at the end of the episode about Amelia Earhart and the current investigation into a mysterious photo that has recently surfaced.
