Summary
Sarah has a PSA for ladies thanks to Trivia Pursuit and her aging feet. Hear why you're probably wearing the wrong shoe size. We learn why we were wrong about Octomom, how she is a victim of an unethical system and why she should get more credit. Susie is worked up about the P Diddy documentary, how messed up he seems, and how the documentary made us love Fifty Cent even more. A woman whose hobby it is to throw messages in a bottle out to sea got a response from someone who is none-to-pleased with her leisure activity. Hear why Sarah agrees with the woman's new enemy. Sarah teaches Susie about "string foot," which she claims is a common problem for birds, and Susie is dubious.
