Summary
Susie is in a one-sided feud with Amy Poehler, which makes no sense, but is quite funny. Susie thinks Sarah should consider getting into the handyman business. We find out how to get on Jeopardy, why Brain Candy is basically the trashier, podcast version of Jeopardy. Susie watched the new Richard Simmons documentary about his amazing life and mysterious death, and we provide our theories about what went wrong with him at the end of his life. We learn why some men are trying to make their balls humungous, and we want to know what the hell they're thinking. We debate whether Wrigley field is right to sue a local business who they claim is preventing ticket sales. We find out the latest surprising science on colors, and it is blowing our mind.
