Susie's 30 for 30 journey continues with the documentary about Dude Perfect, the YouTube sensations (and megahit) who specialize in trick shots and other sports spectacles. We hear how they got started, how they were able to harness their virality, and what it's really like creating content as a full-time job as middle-aged men. We hear the latest science on patients with brain damage, and how researchers realized that a significant number of them have cognitive "awareness" despite being considered vegetative or minimally conscious by the traditional bedside tests. We discuss the questions about their methodology and speculate about what we would want to happen if we were in that position. Susie talks about Michael Oher, who is the Black high school football star who was taken in by a white, wealthy family portrayed in the Blind Side film (made famous by Sandra Bullock's Oscar performance), and his lawsuit against the family. He claims they exploited him and profited off of him without compensating him. We debate the merits of his case and the claims made against him by the author of the book on the subject and what the family has to say. We hear about Poland's innovative technique for monitoring the contaminants in their water supply, and how they are relying on animals to alert them of any concerns.
