episode 116: WHY IS THE DOG IN THE GREENHOUSE? (and where does the bee keep his oils?)


We begin this week with a looooong discussion about the movie “Little Joe”. It’s fun (talking about the movie, not the movie itself. Don’t watch it). Also we have new research about epimutagenesis, grain-free ice cream and the benefits of weeds.
