Summary
Susie is mad about birds and chipmunks and Sarah is mad about noise pollution, but it's clear they're both old ladies. Susie also had an e-bike accident, and it's a fun reminder to drive sober. Also, if you love data, get a keychain breathalyzer. Sarah talks about a mosaic of a bull at an Italian mall that needed some sprucing up, but apparently the artist who restored it sucked, well, balls. We also learn about other art Sarah is mad at including the Art Basel Comedian piece where a banana is taped to a wall, and the reason it's in the news again. Plus, we hear about a man who won the lottery because his wife was being annoying, and now we think we should win the lottery with our listeners.
