This week’s show covers a wide range of topics, including secret candy stashes, the Golden Can and other odd-object giveaways, popular Christmas stories viewed as time travel literature, the holographic projection concept of time travel, faulty submarine propellers, and the people who design the challenges which contestants must go through on reality shows like Survivor. Then they wonder why no one has created a reality show styled after the The Running Man or Hunger Games, but with paintball guns etc instead of permanent elimination. Get on that, Hollywood!
