In this episode we discuss the 10th Pokémon, Caterpie! We talk about how caterpillars use both chemical defenses (like stink and venom) and physical defenses (like mimicry)!
Margaret and Camden are joined by their friends Michael and David to discuss if violent video games really make people violent, if urine is sterile, and if contacts can get stuck in your eye.
(Parental advisory: this episode will contain some adult themes!) On the 2nd episode of our special "After Hours" misconceptions, Camden and Margaret discuss if pineapple juice affects semen and if you can get an STI from a toilet seat.
