962: Thong Song, Seed Silverware, & Living in Total Darkness

Sarah learned a fun (??) fact about persimmon seeds, and now we have to talk about it. Susie is less impressed, and skeptical about its implications. We hear the history of, wait for it, the Thong Song, and are delighted by the vocal stylings, song construction, and cultural impact of this one-hit-wonder. We learn about an imprint in a piece of cement in Chicago that has become an unlikely tourist attraction, and despite it's connection to things that scurry, Sarah is bewitched. We hear how scholars solved the mystery of what caused it, and we have ideas for how to make the most of it. A man went on a three day retreat into total darkness, and we discuss the strange side effects of this sensory adventure. And we get an update on Susie's secret (totally not secret) crush on her eye doctor.
