In today's episode, Laura and Sarah share their progress with date nights this year. Sarah wanted to go more regularly, and Laura had some fun adventurous ideas.

Then, both hosts share 5 of their favorite Obscure Facts! Sarah's skew towards health and human biology, whereas Laura may have snuck in some Paleolithic trivia plus some facts that center around time!

Finally, a listener writes in asking for advice: she's in a stressful tech job and pregnant with #2. Would it make sense to take a ~2 year break at this juncture, or are the tradeoffs going to be too great?
