Summary
Sarah is keeping her 2024 resolution of stretching, but she doesn't want you to get any ideas, she is not going to be doing "the splits" or even a split for that matter. That would be too much of a good thing. We are wound up about method actors and the fact that it is a quirk reserved for white, male actors. If you ever wondered why there are no skeletons in the Titanic, Sarah's got the answer. We discuss the history of marathons and Susie just wants everyone to stop with all this running nonsense. There's a woman who never ran a marathon before, but did her first one to qualify for the Olympics, and she actually succeeded. Sarah loves this story and Susie hates it. According to her everyone just needs to calm down. New Zealand is giving "gold star" stickers to people who recycle properly, and despite the stars being worthless the reward is actually inspiring people to recycle because human brains are so very dumb.
