It's a very silly (but sober!) edition of our Friday happy hour.

You may have heard the expression “thick thighs save lives.” And we have a story today about a rat who’s kept people in Cambodia safe from landmines. What about a rat with thick thighs? It’d probably be unstoppable. We’ll get into all of it on this very silly episode of Economics on Tap, but first we have to talk about Florida reopening and how big banks are spending this campaign season. TGIF!

Here’s a list of stories we talked about today:
