Summary
7:40 - Table Of Content, Episode Topic Breakdown. - Sarah is feeling extra tough today because her testosterone levels are through the roof and people think Susie looks like a villain, so we're quite the pair. Hear what traits you need to be perceived as cool. We have a new catchphrase and we think it's super book (you heard us). People are getting AI Avatars of their family members to talk to them after they die, and we see a few issues with this form of grieving. We debate which animals are the gayest (shoutout to flamingos). Susie watched visually impaired kids compete in a Braille reading competition, and she explains why Braille is a dying language. We hear what pretty much every famous man is doing to avoid going bald, but we think they're nuts because bald is beautiful.
