543: Quakers, Bronze Medals, & French Culture Wars
Today we debate whether dreams can be interpreted and whether they're meaningful. Susie talks about a woman who made an incredible astrophysical discovery, but her male mentor got the Nobel Prize for it. We find out who invented price tags, and are blown away that they even needed to be "invented." Susie updates us on the Mike Tyson documentary, and explains why everyone should value his redemptive life story. We find out why France gave all teenagers $350 and they're buying comic books with it. We learn the history of peanut butter and jelly and Susie is amazed that Sarah is still making these culinary wonders. Finally, we hear a scientific discovery about insects that Susie worries will contribute to homophobia.
