Summary
Susie got a letter from the Unabomber and that inspired this episode all about mental illness, serial killers, and good vs. evil. We explore why some people choose good and why some don't, and whether they are even choosing anything at all. We explore mental illness vs. tendencies. We even go off on a tangent about Forever 21. It's a lot to handle!

| 0:18.6 | We weren't going to have a super serious episode that I was pressuring Sarah to do about |
| 0:25.1 | sexual abuse and her feelings about the challenge because she was all worked up about the naked |
| 0:32.4 | episode and we were just getting ready to do it and she was like, you know what, I'm not |
| 0:37.4 | ready. So we're going to save that for another day. Yeah, you know, because I really do feel |
| 0:41.6 | like it's a subject that I want to give all of my energy to. Yeah. And I have to be a |
| 0:49.6 | two-parter to probably will be because I think it's really important. There's a bunch |
| 0:53.6 | of stuff that we need to talk about. Even just like the Stanford swimming rate. Oh, see, |
| 0:59.3 | now you want to. I'm pissed about that. I'm talking pissed. It's discussed. It's really gross. |
| 1:06.3 | And so there's a lot to unpack. So it does warrant alert. Like here's why we're drained. Yeah, |
| 1:13.7 | you have to. It's because you want to sue you and like not talk about our problems. But |

| 1:46.9 | a local school district and I help them like it, you know, implement social. I'm like, |
| 1:50.7 | oh my God. Yeah, they're really great. Nobody's like, oh, you know, just whatever. |
| 1:58.1 | Fill the blanks and crummy job. No, nobody says they go to clubs to do appearances like |
| 2:03.3 | people from the real world. Yeah. I mean, it's really cool. So anyway, we did that for |
