Summary
In today's episode, Laura and Sarah share their progress with date nights this year. Sarah wanted to go more regularly, and Laura had some fun adventurous ideas.
Then, both hosts share 5 of their favorite Obscure Facts! Sarah's skew towards health and human biology, whereas Laura may have snuck in some Paleolithic trivia plus some facts that center around time!
Finally, a listener writes in asking for advice: she's in a stressful tech job and pregnant with #2. Would it make sense to take a ~2 year break at this juncture, or are the tradeoffs going to be too great?
