Summary
Today Susie shares a hilarious story about a knife, that reveals a lot about our families. This led to another story about Sarah's friend who dropped her phone in the toilet (and the story somehow gets more disgusting). We discuss the Tide Pod Challenge, and how people are idiots. We debate whether we like that a pub in England banned swearing. Plus, we interview author, Kate Bowler, who wrote Everything Happens For a Reason, about her diagnosis of stage 4 cancer, and how it affected her faith.

| 0:00.0 | Hi Susie! Sarah was not prepared. No, my headphones were not on when I heard the beep |
| 0:21.1 | that indicates it is time to begin, but now they are on. I am ready. And it's episode |
| 0:25.9 | of 193. Hello everyone! I love catching Sarah off guard really because there's absolutely |
| 0:33.6 | no difference whatsoever between when she's ready and when she's not. Sarah is very good |
| 0:39.8 | at being herself. You know what, you're really good at putting me in a good mood. I was |
| 0:44.2 | in a crummy mood and I even had like a whole speech prepared of how I was going to get |
| 0:47.9 | here and I was going to be like, look Sus, I'm like not in a good mood. You're saving me. |
| 0:52.8 | Susie, I don't know what I'm going to give you if it's like not going to be that good |
| 0:55.4 | of a podcast. So, man. What? Yes. Is there something, like is there a reason? You know, |
| 1:03.2 | maybe it's just like the times they are changing. I don't know. You know what? I was thinking |
| 1:09.7 | about a lot is the episode that we did on gratitude. Okay. And on. And then I watched, I was |
| 1:20.2 | doing my own therapy last week and kind of processing some stuff. Yeah. And then I watched |
| 1:27.2 | Pixar's Inside Out and it's all about how important sadness is. When we talked about that. |
| 1:33.0 | Yeah. And then I'm like, maybe I need to get more in touch with times where I feel crummy. |
| 1:38.8 | Yeah. And not try to, maybe the reason why those times come up and rear their head every now and |
| 1:44.2 | then are because I don't really get the chance to process the whole feeling of sadness or sorrow |
| 1:50.5 | or grief or loneliness or loss or whatever it is. I just kind of skip on over it because I was |
| 1:55.4 | watching the movie and I'm like, oh my god, I'm joy. Yeah. And then like I need to be more like |
| 2:02.2 | sadness sometimes. Yeah. Well, especially if there is sadness and you're just trained, especially |
| 2:08.8 | the woman to pretend like there's not. Yeah. Because that's why when you ask a woman, what's wrong? |
| 2:13.8 | She always says nothing because we're trained to even though we're very bad at it. |
| 2:20.8 | Where's it supposed to push it down? Yeah. Let it out. |
