Brian wonders if a bizarre method to get high is real or fake when the boys get word of a new FBI directive.

All Drug Olympics
Andrew begins the show by talking about the history of steroids in sports. He points out that many substances that are banned in the Olympics are perfectly legal for everyone else to use. They then bring up the fact that using steroids gets you vilified, yet surgical procedures that allow you to perform better are perfectly acceptable. And even with the drugs that are allowed and not allowed, the rules seem so arbitrary; for example caffeine is ok, by cocaine is not ok.
The conversation devolves into the "butt hash" craze that is sweeping across Nigeria. Apparently, they get high off of the fumes of fermented sewage. It is important to note that one of the tell tale signs that your friends have been getting high on butt hash is bad breath.
Avatar Could Have Taken Us to Mars
The first Honorary member of the Weird Things triumvirate, Elon Musk, is back in the news. With all this talk about the end of the Space Shuttle missions and the "dawn of the Russian Space Age", Musk says that he is totally serious about going to Mars. He says that they can send one of their Dragon capsules to Mars by 2018 for just $400 million, or as Andrew points out, "just two Green Lantern movies.
Also, SpaceX and NASA have tentatively agreed to move up their ISS docking mission to November.
Bigfoot Murder
Brian's new family murdering alter-ego is a grizzled, half-cyborg, veteran detective named Brownfeld. He is joined by his old-timey partner Blowfellow, played by Justin. They get a call from a guy that wants to confess to a murder. Unfortunately the man doesn't confess over the phone, he just gives them GPS coordinates and tell them that he is in a forest. So, not having a car, Brownfeld uses his robot legs to run to the forest with Blowfellow riding piggyback.
Four days later they find the man in the forest and the man wants to tell them what happened but he asks the two detectives not to overreact and start shooting. The man leads them somewhere and tells them to close their eyes. After a few moments of walking blindly through the forest, the man tells them to open their eyes and they see two dead bigfoots on the ground. Brownfeld uses his cyborg computing cells to calculate that there are four "big feet" in front of them.
Nervously, the man asks them if a crime has taken place here. Brownfeld, having murdered his family, doesn't think that murdering bigfoots is a crime. Blowfellow, on the other hand, tells the man that he has in fact committed a crime and is going to jail and is going to die.
Now back to the real world. In a report on Bigfootsightings.org, a man in California admitted to murdering a mother and child bigfoot and was afraid of going to jail.
