Hey, weird fam! It is the Year of the Rat, and this week's episode is all about these long-tailed rodents that tend to be looked down upon within our society. Rats, however, are intelligent, clean, social, and resourceful animals that can survive almost anywhere.
During our current-ish news section, we discuss the CDC's new guidelines on masks and how Trump is a big, fat liar (though, what else is new in that regard).
Then we delve into the history of rats. What makes a rat, a rat? How are rats used in scientific research? (Spoiler alert, rats are used for a lot of research that impacts your daily life without you probably even realizing it.) How are rats perceived in culture? Listen to our latest episode to find out more.
Note: The movie Jennifer referenced is Sinister 2. The website of the zodiac origin that Amber mentioned can be found at the following link:
