This week, Sam and Chris talk robot dogs with hyper-realistic Elon Musk faces that "poop" art at Miami’s Art Basel, a stolen $33,000 Fabergé egg locket that takes a wild trip through the digestive system, and a $10 million solid gold toilet up for grabs.

AI loopholes, a man with a world record for most T-shirts in a half marathon, and the great rare plant market crash also make appearances.

Plus, there's some bonus bowling, prediction market weirdness, and old-man quiz night stories. All this and plenty more randomness in this episode!
