Summary
Today we find out about a very real and very weird phenomenon known as Couvade Syndrome, where a man develops pregnancy symptoms while his partner is pregnant. We debate whether this is attention-seeking, pouting, or sympathy pain. We learn about Pablo Escobar's "coke hippos" and a little more than we wanted about hippopotamus testicles. Sarah shares a hilarious story about her community college days. Susie teaches us how to feel small (in a good way). We hear about an woman who made elaborate, intricate scissor art and was compared to Rembrandt until people decided her art was too feminine. We discuss how bird enthusiast debate changing bird and organization names due to concerns about racism. We learn about the effects of Facetune on body image. Plus, we interview Nancy Jo Sales, author of Nothing Personal, about the disturbing world of dating apps.
