  <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;An attempt to clean up the mess we made last episode. Ben still doesn't figure out how not to yell into his microphone, and Vaden finally realizes what Ben was saying and it was … perhaps not so interesting in the first place? Ben, all too pleased with himself, starts yammering on about future generations. Should we care? God — we promise that next week we’ll try to stick to whichever subject we pick. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;em&gt;References: &lt;/em&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;
