Summary
We revisit the most shared New York Times article by a woman who trains animals (and husbands). We discuss Sarah's new dog and her efforts to teach a new dog old tricks. Susie gives an update on her trivia night debacle where she was ROBBED (but it's FINE). We hear why Sarah is obsessed with Love Island. We learn why less than 50% off cultures mouth kiss romantically, but we're not buying it. We discuss the artist who got exclusive rights to the "blackest black" paint and how an artist who made the "pinkest pink" got revenge. And we find out about a woman who saved a crow and got many gifts in return.
