This week, Jamie and Chris go from “wait… that’s in my food?” to “how is this dog smarter than me?”—and finish with someone casually breaking a world record at Everest altitude.

In this episode:

• Microplastics in everyday food and drink—including chewing gum, salt, produce (apples/carrots), hot drinks (tea/coffee), and seafood—plus how exposure can vary wildly and why packaging matters.

• The microbubbles angle: how water itself may help break plastics down into tiny pieces that spread through rivers and oceans and into the food chain.

• The “is this real?” moment: claims about microplastics in the brain and the broader discussion about potential health links and “obesogens.”

• A shelter dog named Dawson pulls a full Houdini—escapes his kennel, unlocks the front door, and strolls out like he owns the place.

• A Belarusian daredevil, Olga Naumova, sets a record with a sky surf jump at 20,945 feet over the Mount Everest region.
