Episode description

Hayley experiences the sunken lost cause fallacy and brings us a lesson on how the Oxford English Dictionary was created. There are a lot of dick-tionary jokes and we all learn and re-learn some words. TLDR: this lesson is better than it sounds. Next, Kat stays on brand and talks about horses for 45 minutes. Learn about the time Dancer's Image won the Kentucky Derby in 1968 and the conspiracy (real) reason as to why he was disqualified. Bonus segment: best horse names. We have dibs on Pistachio Diplomat and Snip Snap.
