917: Tick Fiasco, Pigeon Bandit, & Parrot Video Calls
06/02/25 • 60 min
Sarah had a "tick fiasco" in the wilderness, and she'll never be the same. We get some updates from Susie about Pete Rose's eligibility for the Baseball Hall of Fame since his death and we hear the scandal involving the Napalm Girl image we discussed recently, and how the wrong photographer may have taken credit for the last fifty years. We hear actually useful happiness tips that are more fun than the usual ones we already know. We learn about scientists who trained parrots to video call each other, and why Sarah wants to know if they were actually "talking" to each other. And we hear how the social birds were also the most likeable. Plus, there is a pigeon thief in New York City, and some people think they're being stolen to be sold for a sport involving the birds in Pennsylvania.

916: Eyeball Privacy, Cicada B-holes, & Therapy Breakthroughs
Sarah thought she was being frugal and industrious, but now she has a stained sink and a broken olive oil dispenser. We learn why an AI tech bro wants to see your eyeballs, and Susie's mad about it. We hear cicadas play Pachelbel's Canon in D on their abdomen (or buttholes?). Sarah says an adult star got a billboard to advertise her OnlyFans, but Christians are defacing it for Jesus. We find out what causes someone to have a breakthrough in therapy. And we hear how the whale equivalent of acne allows them to navigate and migrate successfully.
