We recorded on April Fool's Day, so we had to complain about pranks and prankers who commit them. But Susie thinks Sarah is a prank enabler. We discuss a large cluster of people in a small town who contracted ALS, and we learn what might be causing it. Sarah explains how a person gets a star on the Walk of Fame and why it's not on merit alone. But we are enraged about one particular star, and how it desecrates the whole Walk. We learn why women are always marrying "down" these days at least on one metric, and why the pandemic made gender differences greater. We discuss a scholar who is known as "Dr. Dance" and the benefits that dance provides for Parkinson's patients. And our theory about some people don't like to dance. Sarah explains why we all secretly love to assemble our furniture ourselves.
