R for Rachtea r_for_rachtea

Excuse the really bad pun that has nothing to do with the episode. Although it is sort of related, Angela shares with us another fascinating fact about the animal kingdom and the wet-nursing hierarchy in the meerkat society. We also go off tangentially about platypuses and echidna's, which are the two remaining egg-laying mammals still on the planet!

Yes, we're running out of words that start with R, and yes, serial killers don't often offer ransom. But we explore our fascinating with serial killers and the potential ramifications of turning their actions into movies. With this content, we wish to once again iterate that we neither condone any of these actions nor do we seek to justify them. We only hope to share our thoughts as a discussion with one another.

You'd think that once someone is decapitated, it's over, meaning no feelings, no pain, no nothing. However, Sophia tells us that this may not be the case. We go wildly off topic in this, but when do we not? Join us as we think about what we could become if we had only our heads to take care of.

Full disclosure: this episode started with the idea of R standing for Refrigerator, but it did not stay there for long. A more appropriate name might be R for Random, Riot, Chaos (if that started with an R). Listen for discussions about weird laws and Sophia's insistence on how our teeth should've evolved! Trust me, you're not going to want to miss out on that theory.

Chainsaws, a Halloween horror movie staple, were not actually meant to be the chosen weapon of Halloween movie villains. But what were they for, actually? Angela shares this fact in light of "new beginnings," spurring our discussion on how medicine and health have evolved. 

Welcome to Season 2 of R for Rachtea! We're so excited to start this new year, talking about our resolutions, the unhidden (yet still mysterious) lives of celebrities, and movies we're currently binging. Warning: we get deep.
