Summary
Henry shares a disastrous anecdote about buying yogurt, which spirals into a chaotic discussion about yogurt's sentient nature and Ben’s dangerous home alchemy experiments, including microwaving honey into a siege weapon. The trio then shifts to Ben’s fruitless attempts at growing an orchard and his family’s dubious historical claims, including a relation to a Welsh hero who defeated French invaders. Finally, they analyze the British line of succession, joking about the potential for royal tragedies and the bizarre prospect of Kiefer Sutherland becoming king.
