Summary

Everyone loves a good reboot! MIT decided to do their own reboot of the classic fat shaker machine of the 1950s with a new weight loss pill. The pill doesn’t have medicine, but rather, it has a teeny tiny little motor in it that makes the pill vibrate. Somehow this vibration makes your belly think “I’m full, thank you very much!” Speaking of full let's talk about pregnant women. Specifically, pregnant women who get nauseous. Turns out it can all be linked to a specific hormone and gene! Talking to whales is impressive, sure, but can you tell a whale to sit down, shake hands, and then give it a treat for being a good boy? No. You can’t. But you can however have a confusing 20-minute conversation with one by saying the same word to them in their own voice over and over again driving them absolutely insane by the end of it all. Finally female tears lower aggression in males. All it takes is one big sniff. Join the post-episode conversation over on Discord! https://discord.gg/expeUDN
