We hear about a man who took a woman to target as their first date, and we debate whether this even qualifies as a date. We get an update on a study from years ago about mosquitoes that was a real emotional roller coaster. Sarah tells us about an animal that will live in our nightmares because of it's "teeth" that are actually metal hooks that are also it's hands??? We discuss a condition that explains what an "empath" really is and why some people feel other people's pain.
