Sociologists are constantly searching for the answer to what makes us who we are. Is it nature? Is it nurture? What if you had DNA that originated in the same egg as someone else at the same time as you? That’s exactly what we have this week. We invited our pals the Sklar Brothers, from their own earwolf podcast sklarbrocountry, to talk about what it’s like to be twins. What’s a moose knuckle? Do they feel pain when one is hurt? And all the other hacky twin questions you can think of. Check it out now at earwolf.com

hey hatchlings,
just wanted to drop a comment (not a huntsberger) about david’s venice beach story. i had a similar experience in mallorca, spain. i was traveling there with some friends in 1995 or so – we were riding mopeds along the rocky coast at dusk and basically enjoying a sunset which was so beautiful that it was actually distracting, so much so that i wished it was a little less beautiful so i could enjoy it more. it wasn’t long before something even more distracting developed – a king sized huntsberger which demanded to be set loose asap. i went through the panic, the sweats, everything david described. we were pretty far from anything, so i had to signal my friends and pull over to the side of the road for emergency evacuation. i hopped over an embankment, and crept down a rocky hillside, all the while scoping out potential innocent bystanders. the only people i could see were in this fishing boat, pulling in nets. they were pretty closeby, but i basically decided that they were on the boat, so what were they gonna do about it? i dropped trou and squatted down, and in the waning light of a mediterranean sunset, with the sounds of crying seagulls and church bells pealing across the gently rolling waters, i utterly disgraced that hillside with what is perhaps the biggest turd i’ve ever laid in my life. the icing on the cake was the napkins from lunch which i happened to have in the pocket of my shorts. as i stood up and returned to my moped, i could hear what may have been congratulatory shouts from the fishermen, and i was confident that i had just taken the most picturesque dump in the history of mankind. so, david, the brotherhood salutes you.
great episode, keep it up!
