Sarah explains what "distance self-talk" is and why it can be helpful or hurtful depending on how you use it. We talk about a "very haunted" hotel that has very strict rules about pranks, and since Susie hates pranks, she's on board. We debate the "correct" way to cut food and we learn why Susie is stressed about doing it wrong. Susie explains her rubric for what makes a one-hit-wonder, and hear why a lot of people are very sensitive when they learn an artist they happen to like only had one hit (we're looking at you Oasis fans). Plus, there's a college football program that is known for taking ridiculous player photos, and their new coach put a stop to it. Susie and Sarah disagree about whether the coach did the right thing...
