Summary
Sarah won't quit talking about horses, and her love for them, but she explains why it turns out, we're not really meant to ride them. We hear about the quadruple amputee who is accused of committing murder, but wait, there's more, he's also a cornhole champion. He's full of surprises! Susie hooked on bowling ever since she got her own ball, and now she's watching the HBO docuseries, Born to Bowl. We learn about the recent (accidental) discovery that queen bees can live underwater, and we find out how it's possible. There's a restaurant that's causing a literal stink and getting citations for it, so we debate whether it's racist or fair play. We discuss the French trial Gisele Pelicot's husband, who drugged his wife and let men assault her, and the surprising dynamic between her and her daughter that reveals the complexity of trauma. Plus, we find out why dreaming is a complex bodily function, how it helps your memory, and why lucid dreamers might have an advantage.
