Episode 58 - 1/20/16: Does Planet Nine have salty marshmallows??swollamhsarm ytlas evah eniN tenalP seoD

Does texting ruin a relationship?  Host Nina and producer Mike take a break from texting each other to weigh in.  Then producer Mike takes everyone on a tangent to overly discuss the details of their first few dates.  In other news, marshmallows play a part in predicting a child's willpower throughout their life.  [EDIT: the "marshmallow test" has long been incorrectly described as an experiment in willpower, but actually focuses on predicting personality traits from childhood to adulthood.]  Flint Michigan's water crisis is discussed, as well as the logic holes in David Avocado Wolf's endorsements.  But most interestingly, scientists theorize that the Big Bang may have created a "mirror universe" where time runs backwards--and Reno gets really excited about math.
