Summary
Is Alex Honnold a "bad dad" for scaling the Taipei skyscraper? Susie and Sarah react to his latest feat and debate where the line is between bravery and recklessness.
In this episode, Sarah also reveals her secrets to becoming an all-time Yogurtland champion, including how to maximize toppings to get the absolute most bang for your buck. We also dive into some wild science news: what scurvy actually is (and why you definitely don't want it), plus the discovery of a brand new "kingdom" of living things that is unfortunately for us, already extinct.
Finally, we cover the latest breaking Olympic news. We discuss why we might be future Olympians, and break down the ridiculous controversy coming out of Norway involving uniforms, stitching, and a very awkward wardrobe malfunction.

- Science Class: The horrifying reality of Scurvy and a lost biological Kingdom.
