11/6/13 Episode 7: Randomizer!

Because all podcasts, at one time or another, have their random moments.  Sometimes, those moments comprise a whole episode!  Reno and Nina talk about how blind people see, how your smart phone might know you better than you know yourself, how seemingly cute animals are hiding their true natures, and how a newly developing drug may reverse the negative trajectory that leads to Alzheimer's.  These topics and more are discussed with the usual mix of puns, shortly followed by groans from producer Michael.  

Oh, and electrocution may be good for you after all.  Get out a fork and find the nearest outlet.
