954: Bird Rehab, Organ Donation, & Placebo Cures

Sarah was nail biting sober for two years, but a reality show pushed her off the wagon. Hear why she thinks men are not ok, and why her nails are paying the price. We hear Susie's review of the extreme birding documentary, and the crazy coincidence that allowed her to have a birding experience on her property this week. We find out why we as a society were obsessed with To Catch a Predator, why it's more complicated than it seems, and why the show didn't really do any good. Susie reveals why there is a scandal in the organ donation industry, and why it is feeding into her fears about being buried alive. Plus, we learn why your meds might be placebos without you realizing it, but why that's kind of a good thing...
