Wil complains bitterly about the lack of good science in the children's television programme: "The Little Einsteins". Also, their faces. Gil tries to make things better by reminding Wil that the best episodes had crocodiles.
Show notes: The original, massively misused research on Mozart's music and IQ - Rauscher FH, Shaw GL, and Ky CN. (1993). "Music and spatial task performance". Nature. 365 (6447): 611. doi:10.1038/365611a0. PMID 8413624. Turns out the original study wasn't about babies at all, and Wil's memory of this research is completely different that what it really involved.
