    541: Mike Tyson, Appeal of Chaos, & Influencer Speak Aug 12, 2021
    Show notes

    Today we talk about the documentary Dick Johnson is Dead, and the ways that a filmmaker is confronting her dad's mortality. We examine the legacy of Mike Tyson, and how befuddling it is to have a man who is at once a champion, an underdog, and a villain. We learn about the appeal of perversity and why people are inclined to look at train wrecks and be violent without any apparent payoff. Susie reveals the ways influencers, YouTubers, and TikTokers adjust their speech for their videos unknowingly. And we hear why Norway is cracking down on influencers' altered images.

    540: Sarah's Romance, Feminine Energy, & Simone Biles Aug 09, 2021
    Show notes

    Today we get the best news ever--there's someone in Sarah's life who is getting her motor running, and we are HERE FOR IT! She tells us how they met (on Brain Candy!), why they're connecting on a deep level, and why she is so optimistic even though they've never met in real life. We discuss divine feminine energy, and why Sarah said she hid her softer side for so long. She also tells us why you should never throw your pet goldfish in a lake (which seems obvious, but apparently a lot of people don't know this?). Just so we're clear, you shouldn't throw ANY of your pets into lakes. We revisit the strange phenomenon of all of Sarah's pets prematurely dying. Plus, we discuss the Simone Biles Olympics story, the importance of mental health, and why we have a long way to go.

    538: How Sarah Got Her Groove Back Aug 02, 2021
    Show notes

    Today we find out how Sarah is starting to feel more herself, and participated in an unusual ceremony with a Buddhist ritualist to make it official. We discuss her affinity for heart shapes, and why they tend to appear when she needs a sign from the universe. Susie wonders aloud how it's possible that Sarah never joined a cult, and we're starting to think she should join a religion. Plus, we find out about a community in Florida where people are purposely (maybe) cutting off body parts to get a financial windfall.

We learn about very strange mystery packages that showed up across the country, and we are stumped about what is actually going on. We hear why resting bitch face has always been an accusation leveled at women--even 450 years ago. We find out why the national spelling bee brings immigrants closer together. And we discuss why reality tv imposes unnecessary shame on its participants for the sake of "entertainment".

Plus, we hear about a vast community of weirdos who truly believe birds don't exist, and think they are secret government drones rather than, you know, actual animals.
