Episode notes

Food lion is a normal size lion who happens to be near or in front of food. So he's just near food, that makes him a food lion. A big bear plenty of bears are big already. I don't think a panda of any size could fight off an animal like an eagle of any size. He can starve the rest of them out. No, this is not a war of attrition. This is they're in a pit and they're fighting each other. Alright, maybe the food lion uses his food to like barter with the other animals. Okay, so is now a bear went just to start is already bigger than an eagle.

We double-dip a bit in this week's show, reading two short stories and proving that you don't have to have a ton of time to read something thought-provoking. The theme is "female authors writing about controversial-at-the-time ideas," and the stories are The Yellow Wallpaper by Charlotte Perkins Gilman and The Lottery by Shirley Jackson.

One is about a misdiagnosed "hysterical" woman slowly going insane through lack of mental stimulation, one is about a seemingly innocuous small town that is slavishly devoted to its own traditions. Both remain subversive and retain their impact even today.

Oh yeah and we also talk about which grocery store animal mascot would win in a fight.
