SPX18 What you thought you knew, but didn't.

This week's episode is a fan request!  Teresa B. discovered through an online post that something she thought was beneficial wasn't. She wanted more. We responded!

Dive in with Joe and STEMBoT to see if you actually know the things you think you know.  Are you really warmer sleeping naked? Should you really buy a cotton bag to avoid plastic while shopping? Should you put something on your pasta to keep it from sticking?  Is having breakfast every day a good thing? While bouncing from topic to topic you'll find out a few things and have a good time in the process.  Enjoy!
