Sarah had a near-death experience. Well, she had an experience. And we find out why a shopping cart became a sign to change her plans. We learn what her new hobby is, and why Susie is hoping it's less snobby and "white privilege" forward than snowboarding and skiing. Susie played Scattergories and would like the Brainiac community to settle a debate with her opponent. We discuss the Louis Theroux: Inside the Manosphere documentary, and hear why there's no happy ending for YouTubers, their audience, or the general public. We talk about the HGTV Home Rehab host whose show was cancelled due to leaked footage where she said the n-word, and the reason Susie's experience on Road Rules made her a little bit more sympathetic than she would otherwise be (but still not!). We learn about the Reuters investigation into uncovering Banksy's identity, why it was like finding a needle in a haystack, and the reason we're not amused by the artist or his anonymity.
