Corrections, Conclusions and Clarifications:
- Rissa said it was a Lore podcast about the Little Mermaid, it was actually the Myths and Legends podcast.
- Gastroenterologists are the doctors that do colonoscopies.
- A Proctologist is a doctor specializing in the colon, anus and rectum.
- Is the Lions mane jellyfish endangered? It has not been evaluated by the International Union for the Conservation of Nature and is not in danger of extinction.
- Rissa said the game on Wii was “Blue Ocean,” but it’s actually “Endless Ocean,” and it’s sequel, “Endless Ocean: Blue World.”
