Ep. 80: Math Gave Us Bananas: Unlucky Numbers


Listen Later

It's everyone's favorite topic: numbers! Is the number 13 really that unlucky? Or is Friday the 13th actually the perfect day to get married, start a journey, and sit in row 17 on a plane? Well, even with Emma’s inability to count, she decided to tell Shannon about the reality of unlucky numbers and how it might actually be misogyny’s fault (isn’t it always). If only Emma and numbers were friends. Maybe then she’d be lucky all the time.
