The episode kicks off with a discussion on new California laws designed to combat the recent surge in smash-and-grab robberies, car thefts, and shoplifting, offering insights into how these legislative changes aim to restore public safety. Andy and Sara then take you on a historical journey, revealing that the world's first known university, Al-Qarawiyyin in Fes, Morocco, was founded by a visionary Muslim woman, Fatima al-Fihri, in 859 A.D.—debunking the myth that higher education institutions are a modern Western concept. In the Tech Spotlight segment, they pit the MacBook against Windows laptops, weighing the pros and cons to help listeners make an informed tech choice. The episode also features a surprising Fact of the Day: the first American English dictionary, "A School Dictionary," was published in 1798 by a rebellious schoolteacher named Samuel Johnson Jr., predating Noah Webster’s famous work by over three decades.
