Summary
Susie tried to send Sarah a gift and it went terribly wrong. We find out why Susie and Sarah have very different relationships with their trainers and Sarah almost had a comically bad run-in with a cactus. We learn why online ratings are no longer helpful due to "data panhandling." Sarah shares why book blurbs are useless and definitely "inspiring and illuminating." Sarah wants to ban all reviews of any kind. She wants a free for all situation instead. We couldn't help but talk about the recent incident on an airplane where they had to turn the whole thing around because somebody had explosive you know what. But not to be outdone, Sarah tells a story about someone at her doctor's office that left a big mess on the floor, and it wasn't who you might think. You know how we've been trying to "save the bees" for years, well turns out, we've been saving the wrong ones all this time.

| 0:39.4 | preface. You know I care a lot about dumps us. Well, I was trying to send Sarah a |
| 0:47.9 | plant because she loves plants. Yes. And I thought instead of going through a |
| 0:53.5 | florist, which sometimes, sometimes, you know, they, you get like one bud and it's |

| 2:09.3 | and how my apartment is so dark and how, I mean, it's not. Well, because I just wanted |
| 2:14.3 | to do how she would react if I was like, well, yes, I did. I, and I'd be like, okay, |
