If you have ever found yourself wondering what it would be like to go on a date with Elizabeth this is the episode for you. This week Elizabeth spends a good portion of the episode info dumping on her favorite subject of all time - sharks. However, when she isn't pleading with listeners to recognize sharks as our friends she tells the true story of the 1916 New Jersey shark attacks and the infamous USS Indianapolis story that may have been the inspiration for the 1975 blockbuster hit Jaws. This episode has a little bit of everything for everyone... giant tunas, flat earth discussions, German trained killer sharks... the list goes on.
