843: Baseball Betting, Starving for Perfection, & Racing Women

Sarah is showing what can happen when you put yourself out there and we're here for it. We debate whether a baseball player who is banned from the sport should still be eligible for the Hall of Fame (aka Pete Rose). Sarah begins on one side of the argument, but Susie persuades her to change her mind. We discuss the Karen Carpenter documentary that shows what led to her death by eating disorder, how her family dynamic played a role, and why disordered eating is a spectrum of severity. We talk about the guy who smoked 800 cigarettes in 6 minutes, and why the Guinness Book of World Records disqualified him, and we hear about other odd record holders who defied death. We celebrate the baseball player who recently played for BOTH teams in the same game, and how that was able to happen. And we learn about the first woman to qualify for the Indianapolis 500, and why sexism cause her to leave the sport.
