Show Notes
Susie got into some trouble (again) and almost got booted from a concert. We hear what Boomerasking is and theorize why it's so common now. Susie tries to figure out why an old clip of Road Rules that she posted was so evocative. We discuss a documentary short film about swimming and consider why it's such a fundamental human skill. We learn about scientists who created mice using the DNA from two males, and why they would want to make people with two dads. Sarah explains what "optimal stopping theory" is and why you should never stick with the first guy you date or the first apartment you look at. We find out scholars are offering $1M to anyone who can decode an ancient language.
