Summary
Sarah met a newborn baby, and she is still riding the high. We find out what it costs to get bodycam footage and why the government is so behind the times. Susie wants to know why no one is doing gender reveal parties anymore (not that we're complaining!). We discuss the Martin Short documentary, and think about why he is so positive and stable and how he is a comedic genius without the tortured soul. We hear about The Crash documentary on Netflix, and the story of Mackenzie Shirilla who drove her car into a building, killing her boyfriend and another friend, and whether we think the crash was an accident or intentional. We learn about the "Accutane nosejob" that happens to many people when they take the acne medication, and why Susie is convinced it happened to her.
