Summary
Susie had a magical birthday thanks to a serendipitous meeting with one of her favorite people on the planet. Plus, she got her wish to own an accordion! We try to figure out why Sarah hates traditional music (allegedly). We discuss the viral sensation and Olympic unlikely athlete, Australia's b-girl who broke the Internet with her breaking. Is she an inspiration or a problem? Sarah reminisces about a woman who found a loophole to get onto an Olympics' ski team. Susie recounts the infamous piece of scholarship that claimed women used to be treated for "hysteria" by doctors wielding, how should we say, personal massagers. Turns out this was a work of wishful thinking, but its popularity has perpetuated this myth despite the flimsy evidence supporting it. Susie wants to debate Sarah about whether companies should offer "menstrual leave" for people with periods in addition to sick leave, but it turns out they share the same opinion.
