Comedy writer Andrew Fernandez (@frankwarden) returns to discuss artificially intelligent robots that can help doctors on their bedside manner, brand new science on the poop rates of different mammals, and a math teacher who claimed to have figured out it how might be possible to go back in time, plus we look into where missing socks go and try to figure out the slowest thing on the planet.
