Susie got an email about a class action settlement for a telescope she bought, but she was asked to answer a very spooky question about it and we have questions. We hear about the new Spanish Scrabble champion and how he was able to win despite not speaking the language, and why we hope he retires from competitive Scrabble. We discuss a goose that was born without feet, the adorable solution to his disability, and the shocking way he died. And we theorize who was responsible for his demise. We reminisce about Mike the Headless Chicken who lived for 18 months without a head, and how Susie could've forgotten about this unforgettable story. We learn about the man who skateboarded from coast-to-coast and find out why Sarah supports his unusual mode of transportation. We discuss a teacher who found a bat in her classroom and died after being bitten and contracting rabies. Plus, we he hear Old Gossip about Billie Holiday's tragic life and the women of color of that time who created amazing art, but had to suffer tragic circumstances regardless.
