Summary
Susie checked something off her bucket list by seeing Jerry Seinfeld live and in the flesh even though it meant going to West Virginia and eating at a dive bar. We discuss the documentary The Greatest Reality Show Never Made about a series from the early aughts that people signed up for after quitting their jobs and leaving their homes, but it turned out to be a scam. We learn what happened and what they think of it all now. Susie talks about a woman who went to Africa to start a charity to distribute food, but things went terribly wrong after she got arrogant about her abilities. We hear about an Accident Waiting to Happen that, well, happened at the World Sauna Championships. We discuss the British bird that flew away, learned Spanish, and now has a problem with someone named Larry. Plus, we find out why Sarah was *thisclose* to being a bird lady.
