Summary
Sarah was feeling left out of the crazy spider bite conversation. She got one of her own, so she and Susie can be Spider Bite Besties. We hear about Sarah’s recent obsession with Love Is Blind: Habibi, and why it's so much better than the American version. We learn why elephants are evolving at a faster rate to cope with humans hunting their tusks, and Susie thinks it’s a real win for the species. A man was fined for being too spooky in a cemetery, but we’ve got some questions before we pass judgment. Sarah fills us in on the Guinness World Record holder for longest breath held underwater, which leads to a shocking discovery about Kate Winslet–as if she wasn’t impressive enough already! Plus, NASA’s LunaRecycle Challenge is asking us to shift how we think about waste and come up with some new solutions. Sarah reports on the shocking brain changes in teens during COVID lockdown, but there’s one gendered aspect that doesn’t surprise us.
