866: Disney Disabilities, Dating Cliches...

Susie Meister & Sarah Rice - Wave Podcast Network
About this episode

Sarah's got a Pow Report, and she is as happy as a clam. Susie wants her to start a menopausal snowboarding group. We'll see. Susie talks about Mary McGee, who was the first motorcycle racing woman and the first PERSON to race the Baha 500 solo, and how she was a trailblazer without even really trying. And how her flippant attitude about a tragedy seemed well-adjusted rather than detached, and we analyze how that could be. We debate whether the Menendez brothers deserve to be resentenced, and the strange development of true crime fandom affecting actual criminal situations. We learn about the new rules for skipping the line at Disney for people with disabilities, why some people in the disabled community are furious, and why Disney said they had to change the rules in the first place. There's a pee related mystery in Los Angeles, and Susie makes Sarah theorize about the motives of the urinator. We hear why baseball players are the only athletes who can't stop eating, and Sarah gives the best reason for why food is important to them. Plus, a dating site made it possible to mute accounts who use certain words and phrases, and we consider some of the cliches, tropes, and platitudes that should/would get your bio hidden.
