Mouse Wheel Fun Run

from We Have Concerns Hosted by Jeff Cannata/Anthony Carboni

Anthony and Jeff's debate about the joy to be found in running and exercise contuinues. This time, Jeff has an article from the New York Times about a study which showed that mice will spend time on a running wheel, even when they don't have to. When placed out in the woods, completely unattended, mice and other creatures would jump onto a wheel, and spend time running on it... for fun. Is this the proof Jeff has always wanted, or are these just Anthony's alpha Brock mice? This show is entirely listener supported.
