Tooth Hurty, Gen Z Stare, & Mind Blanking

We're obsessing about teeth today (more than usual)! Hear why Susie thinks she got confirmation that wisdom teeth removal is done too frequently, and why she and Gen Z finally have something in common. We discuss the viral accusation of "Gen Z stare," and theorize why it's happening. We learn about a study done on persuasion that made a bunch of people furious on Reddit. We get an update on the Grandma Scam that Susie experienced a few years ago. We talk about "mind blanking," and find out who is more likely to go into this unconscious state, what the brain is doing when we are thoughtless, and why it happens. And let's just say we have some idea of which gender this happens to more frequently. Plus, we hear about a woman who does the work of the Tooth Fairy, and we decide the whole ritual is just a byproduct of capitalism and consumerism. 13:52 - The "Gen Z Stare" is is what many people are labeling this blank look of confusion. 21:33 - Could an AI chatbot change your mind? People on Reddit are pissed it changed theirs. 34:41 - What are men thinking about? Have you ever experienced a completely blank mind? 44:38 - Do you really have to get your wisdom teeth taken out? Or is it a dental conspiracy?

Jayne Mansfield, Poop Cruise, & Sally Ride

3:18 - Today's Topic Breakdown - It's a Documentary Roundup on today's show, with Sooz Reviews of the My Mom Jayne, the latest installment of Trainwreck (Poop Cruise! Oh my!), and Sally Ride. We learn how Jayne Mansfield was a victim of a Hollywood system that objectifies women and society's decision to put women, especially beautiful women, into a very small box, and the ways secrets can tear families apart. We discuss the cruise that lost power and became a floating toilet in short order, and our theories about why the passengers got along and left with pretty good memories anyway. We talk about astronaut and badass bitch Sally Ride, and how the very reasons she became a trailblazer also made her hard to get to know and somewhat unlikable. Plus, we hear about the "birthday effect" where people are more likely to die on their birthdays, and we learn whether it's actually true or an illusion, and if it's true, why that might be. 3:18 - Episode Table Of Contents 7:34 - Susie and Sarah on the field at the Pirates game 11:06 - Our favorite makeup ever 13:40 - Jayne Mansfield Documentary 23:40 - Poop Cruise Documentary 36:06 - Our favorite comfy athlege clothes. 38:06 - Sally Ride Documentary 46:45 - The Birthday Effect 57:20 - Share your comments about the Birthday Effect.
