Knoxville and Tremaine tell the story of how a truck-driving, exotic pet-dealing, all-American hunk singlehandedly created the field of civilian space exploration, and how he eventually lost his life to that pursuit.

This week, we're joined by self taught snake venom scientist Tim Friede. Over the years, he's self administered over 200 snake bites, and 700 injections of venom, all in an attempt to create the world's first universal anti-venom. He tells us about flatlining after taking two bites in the same night, how he amputated part of his leg (without booze!), and the power of honesty.
