It's Sarah's birthday month, and Susie is debating what to get the woman who only wants snow. We discuss the SNL documentary, and hear why auditioning for the show is a nightmare, we all need more cowbell, and there is one very weird season of the show that almost ended its run forever. Plus, we predict the show will have much more daming documentaries that come out later. We hear about a man who gave up automobiles after an oil spill in the 70s, took a vow of silence that went on for a VERY long time, got a PhD, and changed the world. Susie shares a disturbing new product to hit the market: soup hard candy. Progresso is making lozenges that taste like chicken noodle soup for all the sickos out there who should see a physician rather than eat soup candy. We explain why "flaking" (cancelling plans) is on the rise, why Susie says people shouldn't do it, and how mental health is used as a shield from accountability. We discuss the reality tv show, The Swan, twenty years after its airing, why it was worse than we remembered, and the surprising reason the contestants don't regret doing it.
