The internet can feel like magic. You send a video of a squirrel eating an acorn to your friends and BOOM! A few seconds later, they can watch it! But how does the internet actually work?

They also call on Shark Manchez the computer hacker to explain the secret language computers speak. Plus, another tricky mystery sound!
