Summary
Sarah AND Susie had MRIs (separately, but still), and let's just say it didn't go well. Hear them trauma bond about it. We learn that cows have accents depending on where they live, and even their mood and what they're mooing about. And we learn how we even know that. We discuss how inspired we are by the work and life of Jane Goodall, and how her legacy will live on. We talk about how there are different expectations for different circumstances and how standards change all the time and expectations affect our perceptions. We learn about a school that is limiting the number of times students can use the bathroom, and we debate whether this is a good policy or not. And Sarah reveals the difference between having an orgasm with a woman vs. having an orgasm with a man.
