Summary
Susie has a theory about a scubadiving accident Sarah had ten years ago. We wonder why anyone wears a visor. We discuss the 30 for 30 short film about Black "hand clap" games that girls play, how they originated, and why we don't continue them into adulthood. We debate the virtues of locker room nudity, why it's becoming antiquated, and why some people (including Sarah want to bring it back). Susie had an accident in an Uber, and she wants everyone to know, it was not what it looked like. We talk about the filmography and comedy of Eddie Murphy, and the new documentary that chronicles his career. Plus, Susie celebrates the death of the penny, but Sarah is feeling ambivalent.

And you know how sometimes it feels like there's a, the cold is coming or there's moisture in the air, like the snow, it kind of has a look like, oh, snow. Not now. It looks like everything's going to catch on fucking fire out here. Oh, no. So let's just pray for no, no fires or anything like that. But |
