About this episode

The episode discusses the Enhanced Games, the significance of forest bathing, and the evolution of accents, while reflecting on online culture and dreams.

Sarah got an invite to attend the Enhanced Games (the competitive sports where anything goes in terms of performance enhancement). We find out how a crime was recently solved thanks to the nerdy expertise of a botanist. We hear why the Boston and Southern accents might become obsolete, and we're pretty sad about it. We lament the shallow nature of some online culture, and basically we want to bring back Peruvian bowler hats. 00:00 - Reflecting on Our 1000th Episode Party & Interstellar 01:59 - How the Linda/Louise Prank Taught Me About Love 05:39 - Heartfelt Fan Gifts and Sarah's Lost Phone Adventure 10:47 - Scientists Finally Map the Clitoris, 30 Years After Penis 17:38 - Sarah Gets an Invitation to the Enhanced Games in Vegas 23:27 - Why We Rebrand Simple Pleasures Like Forest Bathing 27:38 - The Key to Restorative Sleep: Vivid, Immersive Dreams 35:33 - How a Botanist Used Moss to Solve a Criminal Case 39:30 - The Disappearing Boston Accent and a Matthew McConaughey Encounter 50:01 - Lamenting Homogenized Culture and Peruvian Bowler Hats 54:08 - Can Robot Restaurants Replicate the 'Breath of the Wok'? 58:23 - Supporting the Show and Leaving a Five-Star Review Brain Candy…
