1019: Red Panda, Drowning in Space, & Choking Signal

Subscribe:

Show Notes

Susie talks about Red Panda, the half-time phenom, who rides a 7ft tall unicycle whilst throwing plates with her feet onto her head. It’s a whole thing. We find out about an astronaut who almost drowned on a “routine” spacewalk, which has Sarah reeling. We find out how Sarah almost choked to death, but more importantly, Susie found out she does NOT know the international sign for choking. We hear how WiFi can identify people in the room, and it’s creepy af. Susie’s sister questions Sarah’s advice about saying, “Hey, bear!” to scare off bears. We learn why American horses are obese. And Sarah cries about Temple Grandin. Enjoy!
