1021: Hey Bear, Noise Festival, & Cursed Cursive

Sarah is hyped about her new look. We're calling it athletic chic. We learn about a religious festival where people compete to make the most noise, and in so doing, priceless art pieces were destroyed. We find out the details of the world's most expensive home, and Susie wishes the owner a lifetime of pain and agony. Susie's sister is fact checking Sarah about how to deal with a bear sighting, and we just hope we're never in that position because there's some confusion. A gym is being sued because the "grunting" of the members is so loud the neighbors can't get a moment's rest. We lament the death of cursive handwriting and also (the atrocious) spelling of humans. We are mad about horse-drawn carriages. Why do they still exist? But good news--cereal boxes are bringing back toys. Finally! Plus, we hear how scientists discovered that fog is ALIVE.
