Six Degrees takes on another guest, Amanda Kelly Van Winkle! After she is properly intiated by producer Mike, she jumps in the discussion of cryogenics, two brothers who are paralyzed during the day, and talking sex robots with warm genitals. Also, Nina and Reno have a heated debate on why AI judges and lawyers could never argue the existence of Santa Claus.
