837: Nun Brains, Acidic Lake, & Holiday Cards

Sarah is hoping high heels don't come back in style because she has to work on her toe spread. We discuss. We hear how hundreds of nuns were able to show the secret to a healthy brain, and we learn why your vocabulary could predict your likelihood of cognitive issues. Sarah joined a queer water polo team for "seniors," and we are psyched that she's going to find her soul mate in the deep end. We discuss whether sports have become "whiny," and why people treat referees and umpires disrespectfully. And we wonder whether we should rely on robots for regulations instead. We celebrate all the joy, victory, and athleticism at the Paris Olympics. We find out what the "normal" amount of friends people have in adulthood and why it's hard to find people you trust. Plus, we learn why Yellowstone's number one killer isn't a wild animal or even cliffs, but something far stranger.
