This week Farra and Scott dive into the topic of perfectionism. The two get honest about their own struggles with perfectionism both in their academics and their careers. What makes us want to be perfect? Why do we work so hard often to the point of anxiety to avoid even the appearance of shortcomings? Scott and Farra discuss how perfectionism has been built into the culture of the United States, and how it has even influenced our political candidates over the past few decades.  The duo also dives into what the heck is going on with President Biden's so-called ban on beef.
