Sarah went to see Wicked, and she wants a little commotion for her ability to not sing out loud in the theater during the film. We also got a pro-tip--never get a matching tattoo with someone. If you do, your relationship is cursed according to Sarah. We learn what robot pants are, how they could help people who are disabled and/or elderly, and how much they'll cost you. We debate the virtues of having calorie counts on restaurant menus. Sarah explains what happens to astronauts's cognition after they come back from space. And she explains how she changed her mind about people who have no desire to travel or go on adventures, and why she thinks they're more useful than she used to. We hear some of the inventions and discoveries that their creators chose not to patent, which led to innovation, societal benefits, and saved lives as a result.
