Lauren speaks to us across the airwaves from Portugal. Listen along as she gives us all the details on her business class transatlantic flight in true nouveau riche, basic b fashion. Chanler discusses her upcoming plans for her birthday and strategies for avoiding a meltdown. Finally, we intro a new segment, "What Lauren's Reading." This week, Lauren's tome of choice is "T: The Story of Testosterone, the Hormone that Dominates and Divides Us" by Carole Hooven. The book seeks to illustrate how the hormone to testosterone can explain the documented, cross-cultural differences between men and women. We start at the beginning, though, and chat about how ancient practices of castration were the first indicators of a powerful substance in a man's nether regions ultimately leading to the discovery of Testosterone.
