Menstrual synchronization, female fights, and targeted advertising

Today's show took a very female point of view. We start with a discussion about Elizabeth Smart, who was kidnapped at knifepoint many years ago. She lived with her captors for 9 months before being rescued. We talk about why missing white women capture so much media attention. We also learn how our ovulation and menstrual cycle affects everything in our life including when and why we buy things. This same theory also might help explain why women on the Challenge end up in verbal and physical fights with each other (but why we can still blame the men ultimately). Plus, Sarah reveals why women shouldn't eat their placenta (as if we needed a reason besides the ick factor). Finally, we get totally creeped out by robots taking over the planet.
