What do college course numbers actually mean? Why don’t schools teach us how to do taxes? And most importantly—can a fish double as deodorant?

This week on Really… with Sierra & Michael-Thomas, we’re bouncing from the things that have disappeared from our hometowns to the questionable usefulness of some college classes, the mysteries of registrars, zoology, weird animal facts, therapy, anatomy, and an unexpectedly long journey from Carpe deodorant to carp at Bass Pro Shop.

Plus, we share what’s coming up for us outside the podcast, including new educational YouTube projects, more adventures out in the community, and some of what we have planned for Season 2.

Somewhere along the way, Michael-Thomas says, “Slap that fish under your pit.” And frankly, there was no recovering after that.

Really… with Sierra & Michael-Thomas is a GrifChap Studio production.
