Today is a fun but also thought-provoking episode -- Sarah and Laura chose "would you rather?" questions to pose to each other, and both the questions and answers provide a lot of interesting fodder for thought and reflection!

Would YOU choose to be more attractive or more intelligent (and what did the hosts pick)?

Would you rather work the job you have now for a year at double pay, or take a year off with regular pay?

. . . and many others.

In the Q&A, a listener writes in asking for a "permission slip" to outsource cleaning even though her current hourly rate is less than that of a service.
