Hello Mindless Fam! This episode goes off the rails almost immediately. Ripley can't sit straight (Jordon has to physically direct her posture), she inhales her coffee within the first few minutes, and from there it's a full blown animal kingdom deep dive.
First up: newly discovered walking shark that has Jordon asking the real questions, like whether he needs to worry about sharks coming for him on land. Also up for debate: deodorant. Before or after your shirt and whether that's somehow a gendered thing.
From there, we swerve into questions about the Cars universe and some darker topics like Typhoon Maysak and the small army of snakes it unleashed, a horror-story-worthy article about 16 kids found hidden in a basement (that Jordon only clicked because the mugshots looked like something out of Resident Evil 7) which reminds Ripley of Josef Fritzl. Which then leads into a genuinely important conversation about the foster care system.
Finally, a palate cleanser: a tour through subreddits like r/chairsunderwater and r/neverbrokeabone. Bonus elephant fact at the end. Buckle up, because it is a lot.
