Jarvis Johnson joins Hank to ask him where DVD commentaries went, how to know when you're clean, how much power does the royal family have, and are sponges gross?
00:00 Introduction
0:51 Have streaming services reverse engineered old-school cable packages? When is enough, enough?
5:20 What happened to DVD commentaries? I love them. Why can’t Netflix just put the audio track on their player like a different language? Am I the only person who enjoyed DVD commentaries? Is this just lost media?
12:09 Are baths inherently dirty? I’ve always thought that a bath is a bad way to get clean because you’re just soaking in your own dirts and oils. Is that true? Showers make sense because scrubbing, and gravity, and also the drain.
24:21 What’s the best way to take a shower? How do we know if soap is working? Is it good enough to just see dirt go away or is it just vibes?
35:35 Why do media companies keep making movies and shelving them for tax benefits? And Are sponges really disgusting? I use wash cloths because I just have all my life, but sponges seem like they never get dry and collect a bunch of bacteria.
