Sarah passed her therapy licensing test, and now she feels like a new woman. We discuss what personal life information influencers “owe” their followers, why some people believe the influencers lose their privacy in exchange for online success, and how the two of us navigate our personal lives in the public eye. We hear which achievements in science won Ig Nobel Prizes this year. We talk about a second grade teacher who got sick of her students passing gas in class, so she came up with a strange “solution.” Hear our thoughts. Sarah explains what she will do in order to avoid using Port-a-potties, and the insane way one man fell in one. Susie talks about the Wheel of Fortune announcer who was fired after someone allegedly saw him in a predator chatroom on a flight. We find out why some people are claiming meditation can actually be harmful and cause terrible side effects in certain people.
