We're obsessing about teeth today (more than usual)! Hear why Susie thinks she got confirmation that wisdom teeth removal is done too frequently, and why she and Gen Z finally have something in common. We discuss the viral accusation of "Gen Z stare," and theorize why it's happening. We learn about a study done on persuasion that made a bunch of people furious on Reddit. We get an update on the Grandma Scam that Susie experienced a few years ago. We talk about "mind blanking," and find out who is more likely to go into this unconscious state, what the brain is doing when we are thoughtless, and why it happens. And let's just say we have some idea of which gender this happens to more frequently. Plus, we hear about a woman who does the work of the Tooth Fairy, and we decide the whole ritual is just a byproduct of capitalism and consumerism.
13:52 - The "Gen Z Stare" is is what many people are labeling this blank look of confusion.
21:33 - Could an AI chatbot change your mind? People on Reddit are pissed it changed theirs.
34:41 - What are men thinking about? Have you ever experienced a completely blank mind?
44:38 - Do you really have to get your wisdom teeth taken out? Or is it a dental conspiracy?
