Today we talk about how mess & success are sometimes strange bedfellows. Sarah updates us about who is called a "genius" & who isn't. Susie updates us about the gendered concept of the phrase "battle axe". We discuss vocal fry, & why it's unfairly maligned. Hear the history of the Lion Sleeps Tonight. And we realize we're on team "Free Britney".
