Today's theme is AWHs (accidents waiting to happen) and, well, because there were a lot of accidents that actually happened this week. Susie's brakes in her car stopped working, so she's just glad to be here... until we hear about a man whose penis and testes were bitten by a cobra. It didn't go well. We learn how trauma affects your dreams, and why scholars are starting to take dreams more seriously. We find out why you really don't know how you actually look and your personality determines whether you think you're hot or not. We find out about a trend in book covers and why it might not benefit women and people of color. We discuss the blandification of restaurants. Plus Susie reveals why the story of Lynyrd Skynyrd is even crazier than she thought.
