We've got an update on the wounded hawk on Susie's property and an update on the wounded boobs in Susie's body. We hear how her second MRI went, and why she's mad as a hornet. Sarah had a breakdown about her haircut, but we cracked the case on what was really causing it. We debate what song we'd like to hear again for the first time. Susie is continuing her year of lesbian intrigue after she got hit on by a lady at a bar. We learn about the hack some people are using to beat the algorithm of dating apps that intentionally keep you from getting the people you really want for free. Susie discusses the John Candy documentary, why he was such a treasure, and how special it is when a man has a tender heart. We talk about the BTK serial killer documentary, and his relationship with his family. Plus, we welcome Chris Dalla Riva, author of Uncharted Territory: What the Numbers Tell Us About the Biggest Hit Songs and Ourselves, and hear what we can learn from all of the #1 hits in history.
