Myths and Humanising the Homeless (Sorry For The Audio)

We apologise for the Audio!
Strap in for an eye-opening discussion that will leave your perceptions upended and your mind buzzing with questions. From the myth of tap water snobbery amongst physicists to a heart-tugging examination of our interactions with the homeless, we leave no stone unturned.
Imagine an episode that takes you on a journey through the maze of superstitions and beliefs. Are black cats and superheroes just symbols, or do they hold a deeper meaning? We dissect these notions, and then shift gears to revisit our childhood misconceptions. We'll bust the myths around the famous "5-second rule" for food dropped on the floor, and dissect how location and price could determine whether you'd pick it up.
Hold on tight as we reveal the secrets of self-checkout in the retail industry. We'll enlighten you on the tricks of bagging freebies at certain stores, the importance of scanning receipts, and the consequences of skipping this simple step. We'll also introduce you to the concept of a "magic trolley". So, ready for a roller-coaster ride of thought-provoking discussions and hearty laughs? Tune in, sit back, and enjoy the ride.
