Summary
Today we hear how Susie's mom lost thousands in a scam. Susie bought a spray tanning machine, and Adam had to get university certification to use it. We hear about a woman who got stuck with a blind date for weeks because of Covid lockdown rules in China. Sarah reveals why she loves know-it-alls and mansplainers, and Susie thinks it's because of what she experienced on the Ruins with Kenny. We discuss the movie Don't Look Up, and why people aren't afraid of the end of the world. We debate the best oxymorons. Susie describes an essay about losing things and people, and why it was so moving. Plus, we learn why trends only last a few days or weeks now and why it's a bad sign of our collective well-being.
