Summary
Zoos are at it again, and this time it's a "sexy" gorilla causing a stir. Allegedly, this gorilla is so darn handsome that zoo admissions have skyrocketed, but we aren't so sure it's just ladies that are flocking to see him. We learn the definition of a "vibe pope" and Sarah explains why she thinks Susie is one. If it's anything like a real pope, that's going to be a lot pressure, so we'll see how this goes. Susie wants you all to get out of your pajamas and get out there and socialize even if it's just for the lolz. Sarah describes a new night club that uses the body heat of the patrons to fuel the building's electricity and we are intrigued. Sarah describes why families don't have "trees" as much any more because people are having fewer children. She shares how this structure is more narrow and lengthy--like a beanstalk--and is changing the dynamic of families and how we engage with cousins and other relatives.
