582: Frickin Bats, Dust Mite Invasion, & Listener Complaints

Today we discuss why some middle names are chosen a lot for seemingly no reason. We discuss the funny gifts Susie & Sarah gave each other for Christmas. We get a play-by-play of Susie's mom's house fire (why are our moms cursed lately???). Sarah loses her mind at the thought of dust mites "burrowing into" her skin. Susie talks about a book she read about Columbine, and why it changed how she thinks about the tragedy. And she reveals how she visited the Columbine victims in the hospital, and how it being before social media changed her memory of it. Sarah regrets not knowing what sea shanties are. Susie reads a mean note from a listener, and we think it's Linda's daughter. We debate the female-focused alternative to AA and the science of predicting when we'll die.
