Kat's cousin, Aaron is the perfect guest because he was a philosophy major & nerd. This week the crew reviewed Michael Schur's book How to be Perfect: The Correct Answer to Every Moral Question". This episode is like a philosophy 101 class: the question is asked, what makes you a good person? For instance, is Moni a better person than Kat because she finished the book and Kat didn't? Hmmm, food for thought. As you might guess, Kat attributes her unfailing moral compass to Star Trek, and Moni suggests that Kat record a rap song titled, "Star Trek Raised Me Son!".
