What do bussies, the Finnish language, and economic inflation have in common? Absolutely nothing, of course. But somehow, we still discuss them all on this week of Yapping. We'll tackle the mythos of the "gold star gay," unpack the ever-growing "-ussy" industrial complex, and go on a bit of a linguistic deep dive (namely, we mispronounce long words in languages we don't speak). We also explore the cold-hearted, reserved charm of Northern Europeans (and why smiling at a stranger in Poland is basically a crime). Samir contemplates embarking on a tattoo pilgrimage to Bulgaria, and, in a shocking turn of events, we take a hard left into extinction events and possibly dubious science. Also, this podcast needs to go video (hint: Samir’s hair is on a journey of its own and we spend like 20 minutes discussing it without showing photos!). Buckle up—this episode is a rollercoaster of chaos, culture, and -ussy appreciation. Apologies for the audio this episode!
