Summary
Hear about a shark who is either old or not really old at all. We find out that dolphins recognize themselves in mirrors way earlier than we thought (and earlier than humans). We discuss the psychology of poverty, and why the lottery is considered a tax on poor people. Plus ice sheets on Mars, space bears, viral videos, and more. And we finally talk to Bern Fisers about her book, The Little Book of Big Weight Loss.

| 0:19.0 | Ah, welcome! 180, no, 190. 190. 190? This is creeping up. Oh my god, I wrote 188 in my |
| 0:28.1 | notes like a crazy person behind at the time. No, we had like some confusion about like |
| 0:32.6 | show numbers. Yeah, so I believe that's 190. We think that's where we are. Here we are. |
| 0:40.2 | How are you doing, Sus? Really good. Thank you so much for joining us everyone. We |

| 0:58.6 | Oh, thanks. The funny thing is Sarah sent me an email. I'm trying to be more organized in the |
| 1:06.8 | new year. The email was like, here's everything I'm going to talk about in the episode. Don't read |

| 1:57.8 | Ice sheets. Sheets like tons of ice. Not just a little bit of ice. A lot of ice. Meaning there |
