Spring has sprung, but we don't understand why babies are born this time of year. Sarah explains what happens when you pass gas during surgery (and Susie is not happy). We hear why naming cows has an impact on their milk production. Susie says she always tells people in her life to be sweet to her when she's "fussy" and we debate whether she is infantilizing herself or whether it's proof women are tough. We discuss a robot race and hear whether humans are still winning against machines. There was a situation at a carnival that made Sarah feel like the whole fair industry is an AWH (accident waiting to happen). Plus, we get an update on the Hantavirus cruise situation, and it really calls into question whether anyone should be doing a particular hobby.
