848: Behind the Mask, Feather Collector, & What's in a Name

Sarah is nursing her finger back to health, but believes the injury will bring something good into her life (optimistic as ever). She talks about the Behind the Mask docuseries, which examines the people who are team mascots. Sarah is reading the Feather Thief for Candy Club, and is thinking about people who collect animal parts and how these natural items become valuable and sought after. We find out how the cost of your wedding can predict the likelihood of divorce. Turns out Susie's theory about last names, officially known as "nominative determinism" might not be true (impossible!), but we think it's truth-y, so it's fine.
