Episode 81 10/01/18

In episode 81 (the second installment of a two part episode) Six Degrees covers the "nurture" side of "nature vs. nurture."  This installment is the darker of the two--well, except for the cannibalism in the first installment!--and includes such gems as a vending machine dispensing crack pipes, street corner urinals shaped like mailboxes, and what happens when you leave contact lenses in for twenty-eight years.
