Show Notes
-Do men appear more desirable when seen with attractive women? What does the science say? -Stanley Milgram's famous study demonstrated people's capacity for obedience to an authority figure in the name of the common good. Recently, Milgram's work was replicated. The results may surprise you. -One transgender athlete has made it to the spotlight in competitive lifting. Listen to what happened. -In honor of Darwin, we present a Darwin Award whereby someone unwittingly takes themselves out of the gene pool in an unbelievably silly manner. Runner-up award may be given to those who only injured themselves.
