Hear why Sarah realized she cannot let herself go without food for too long or she'll lose her mind. We learn a way to help prevent dementia, and we're thinking maybe we're sitting pretty as a result.

640: Butthole Girl, Seat of the Soul, & Near Death Experiences

Susie's kitchen is still being renovated and she had to perform a real life "floor is lava" scenario that was a real hoot (all those Challenge shenanigans really paid off). We discuss the documentary The Most Hated Man on the Internet and how people got caught up in the cult of personality of a sociopath including one woman who lost her kids as a result. We learn why Amazon is making life easier for people with disabilities. Susie watched the Janet Jacksdon documentary and has thoughts about abuse, family relationships, and the entertainment industry. We debate whether near-death experiences are "real" and why Susie thinks people who claim to have them remind her of Jesus's apostles. Sarah reveals why she is going to pierce her own ears.

Hear one souvenir Sarah brought home from camp that she did not want. We learn new insight into Sarah's childhood that Susie cannot believe, and it remains mind-boggling that we're still learning new info about Sarah after all these years. The Miss Universe pageant has changed its rules to be more inclusive, and we discuss the new rules. Plus, Susie confesses to her history paritcipating in pageants and the reason she didn't win. Plus, we debate whether pageants are exploitative or empowering.

We discuss an article that argued that rich people think their comfort should supercede other people's joy, and Susie is worked up about it. Susie talks about a female journalist who had to have her skirt measured to cover the execution of a criminal.

634: Victoria's Secret, Male Trees, & Magical Thinking

Hear what it was like for Sarah to rewatch Exes II with her boyfriend, and why it gave her a whole new perspective of the show. Susie discusses the Victoria's Secret documentary and how the "fantasy" they were creating was really toxic and driven by, you guessed it, the patriarchy.

633: Backyard Burial, Gulliver's Hallucinations, & Tennis Scores

Hear why Sarah feels bad about her broccoli theft, but Susie changed her mind about Sarah pulling the stems off. Sarah teaches us why scoring in tennis is so weird, and for some reason Susie is mad about it. We learn whether it's legal to bury someone in your backyard, and hear why there are rules about it beyond just location. Susie tells Sarah she should become a psychic because of her "fan fiction" mental game. We learn about a very strange mental disorder that makes people see teeny tiny people doing crazy things. It's wild.

632: Girls Gone Wild, Dark Web, & Dead Tattoos

Sarah makes a very good point about parenting, and it might just seal the deal on whether she wants to have kids or not. We discuss the Britney Griner detention in Russia, and Susie is worked up about the fact that she is still there and that many female athletes have to work in Europe in the off-season just to make ends meet. Susie watched the Girls Gone Wild Exposed documentary, and it is truly disturbing. Girls Gone Wild was definitely not just a spring break romp, it is full-on porn and they didn't pay the talent, had them sign contracts under the influence, and some of them were underage. It's beyond. We discuss an interview of Michael Jackson that Susie sees in a whole new disturbing light. We discuss a new trend where people are saving the skin of their deceased loved ones to preserve their tattoos. Sarah reveals why she changed her mind about Amazon and it's hilarious.
