Sarah is living her best childless life and Susie has a cat with an unfortunate habit. We discuss the wildly disturbing documentary Unknown Number about the high school girl who was bullied by her own mom, the reason the documentary was more disturbing than the articles we've already discussed on the show, and why experts are calling this a new form of Munchausen Syndrome. We learn about an amputation doctor who has a fetish for cutting off body parts, why he got arrested, and how he manifested his fetish in himself. And we learn about celebrity children's books, why they always cover the same two topics, and why celebrities do them in the first place.Brain Candy Podcast Presents: Susie & Sarah's SpOoOoOoOoktacular Spectacle, October 30, Oriental Theater, Denver, Colorado: Get your tickets! 00:00 - Welcome to the Show and Our SpOoOoOoOoktacular Spectacle04:37 - Embracing Spontaneity and the Joys of a Childless Life10:15 - Uncovering the Bizarre Habit of Susie's Toilet-Loving Cat13:32 - Manage Your Finances with Rocket Money App15:31 - Deep Dive into the Disturbing Unknown Number Documentary27:44 - Discover Your Style with Daily Look Personal Stylist31:02 - Unpacking the Disturbing Case of the Amputee Doctor42:04 - Simplify Meal Prep with Hungry Root Delivery47:34 - The Cash Grab Behind Celebrity Children's Book Publishing58:36 - Redefining Dreams and Podcast FarewellBrain Candy Podcast Website - https://thebraincandypodcast.com/Brain Candy Podcast Book Recommendations - https://thebraincandypodcast.com/books/Brain Candy Podcast Merchandise - https://thebraincandypodcast.com/candy-store/Brain Candy Podcast Candy Club - https://thebraincandypodcast.com/product/candy-club/Brain Candy Podcast Sponsor Codes - https://thebraincandypodcast.com/support-us/Brain Candy Podcast Social Media & Platforms:Brain Candy Podcast LIVE Interactive Trivia Nights - https://www.youtube.com/@BrainCandyPodcast/streamsBrain Candy Podcast Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/braincandypodcastHost Susie Meister Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/susiemeisterHost Sarah Rice Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/imsarahriceBrain Candy Podcast on X: https://www.x.com/braincandypodBrain Candy Podcast Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/braincandy (JOIN FREE - TONS OF REALITY TV CONTENT)Brain Candy Podcast Sponsors, partnerships, & Products that we love:For 50% off your order, head to https://www.dailylook.com and use code BRAINCANDYCancel your unwanted subscriptions and reach your financial goals faster at https://rocketmoney.com/braincandy today.Get 40% off your first box PLUS get a free item in every box for life when you go to https://www.hungryroot.com/braincandy and use code BRAINCANDYSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Edwin's story grabs you from the first moment—in 2008, while heading to his computer science night course, a car hit him at a bus stop, resulting in the amputation of his right leg. Unlike many similar stories, Edwin was conscious throughout the traumatic experience. Yet what strikes you most isn't the tragedy itself, but Edwin's remarkable response to it.With unwavering faith and family support, Edwin rebuilt his life while discovering new purpose. A lifelong singer who performed since his  school days, he delivers a soul-stirring rendition of "My Life is in Your Hands" that reveals how deeply faith anchors his resilience. Though trained in computer science, Edwin now works in financial services with a mission to democratize financial knowledge typically reserved for the wealthy. He's also become a passionate advocate for people with disabilities, exemplifying his belief that "the best dreams are ones vast enough to include more than just you."Edwin's philosophy—"neither God nor nature requires perfection, but they both do require growth"—offers profound wisdom for anyone facing challenges. His story reminds us that our value isn't diminished by physical limitations but enhanced by how we respond to life's unexpected turns. Join us for this chance encounter that feels divinely orchestrated, and hear Edwin's powerful message about finding purpose beyond yourself.Like, comment, subscribe, and as always, take a breath with me as we continue exploring what it means to live life to the max.inspirational stories 2025, overcoming adversity, Edwin's story, disability advocacy, faith and resilience, amputee motivation, life after trauma, Christian inspiration stories, survivor stories real life, finding purpose after loss, financial literacy for all, democratizing finance#InspiringStories #EdwinsJourney #OvercomingAdversity #FaithAndResilience #DisabilityAdvocate #AmputeeStrong #PurposeDrivenLife #MyLifeIsInYourHands #FinancialLiteracyForAll #ResilienceMatters #ChristianMotivation #LiveLifeToTheMax #RealLifeTestimony #TraumaSurvivor #DisabledAndProud #EmpowerThroughFaith #Motivation2025 #DisabilityInspiration #LifeAfterAmputation #GrowthNotPerfection

The name Terry Fox is synonymous with courage, perseverance and promise. After losing his leg at just 18 years old, his run across Canada inspired generations to come – and to date, has raised over $900 million for cancer research. His journey was deeply rooted in wanting to do more, by raising awareness and to help others see strength, not weakness. These same sentiments were true for George Hincks and Marshall McDougall, two Canadian men who both had a leg amputated as a result of injuries sustained in World War I. Their hike across our nation is a story you may not have heard - but once you do, you will never forget.Host Melanie Ng speaks with Eric Story, the author of a feature about George Hincks and Marshall McDougall. Eric is an adjunct professor at Wilfrid Laurier University and a postdoctoral fellow at Western University. We love feedback at The Big Story, as well as suggestions for future episodes.

At 16, Jordan Thomas lost both legs in a Keys boating accident—and turned it into purpose. He launched the Jordan Thomas Foundation to help kids get the prosthetics and community they need through age 18, and he's now a top adaptive golfer competing at the US Adaptive Open in Pinehurst. We get into mindset and trauma, why running blades aren't covered, real talk on water safety, community beats hardware, and pushing policy so access is affordable and durable.

Welcome back to the Working Perspectives Podcast! In this brand new, exciting episode, the three hosts are turning the show into a game show! Each host has brought a current news story, but there's a catch: they've intentionally left out key details. Can the other two hosts guess who the story is about, where it took place, the age of the person, or the surprising outcome? This week's stories are as wild as they come and they're from all over the world. We've got a surgeon who goes to extreme lengths to become an amputee, a family member who gets revenge with a pair of scissors, and a tale about someone biting the head off of a snake. The guesses are wild, the deductions are hilarious, and the real stories behind the headlines are often stranger than fiction. Tune in to find out who's the best at "Guessing the News" and let us know in the comments if you'd like to play along at home!

On a quiet March afternoon in 2008, Kentucky resident and father of two, Jason Koger, climbed onto his four-wheeler for what should have been a routine ride. Moments later, 7,200 volts of electricity ripped through his body, stopping his heart and changing his life forever. Jason woke up in flames, his body burning from the inside out. Doctors told his wife to prepare for the worst. To survive, Jason would lose both arms. What followed was a journey of pain, resilience, and miraculous second chances that would take him from a hospital bed to becoming the first person in the world with two bionic hands.

Specifically, his early works Six Figures Getting Sick (Six Times); The Alphabet; The Grandmother; The Amputee; The Cowboy and the Frenchman; and Lumiere, or Premonitions Following an Evil Deed.In this brisk, energetic episode, we debate the value of these early works and their influence on things we would see in his later films.

Duty, Sacrifice, and Character: The Unshakable Resolve of LTC Daniel Gade This week's Team Never Quit guest, Lieutenant Colonel Daniel Gade, brings us a story of courage, sacrifice, and resilience that will leave you deeply inspired. A two-time Purple Heart recipient, LTC Gade served with distinction in Iraq, where he led soldiers in some of the most hostile environments and endured life-altering injuries in the line of duty. But as you'll hear, his story didn't end in combat—it began a new chapter of leadership, healing, and purpose. Born on a North Dakota farm and raised with a strong sense of patriotism, Daniel always knew he was destined to serve. After graduating from West Point, he rose through the ranks as an armored officer, company commander, and eventually a wounded warrior whose leg injury nearly claimed his life. Through a long and painful recovery, his faith, family, and unrelenting grit propelled him to become a policy expert, White House veteran, Ph.D. holder, and educator at the very academy that shaped him. This conversation goes beyond the battlefield to explore themes of honor, duty, and the character that defines true greatness. Whether you're in the military or not, Daniel's story will challenge you to reflect on your own purpose and what you're willing to sacrifice for it. In This Episode You Will Hear: • I worry about whether the wars that we fought in – were they the right thing to do? I wonder if our national leadership is courageous enough to understand that these young men and women - their blood should not be sacrificed in vain. (9:53) • I hope our generation will do a better job of deciding when and where to go to war. (10:59) • I graduated West Point in '97 (13:47) • [Marcus – On 9/11] They sat us down. They hey had all the TVs on the wall. As we were watching it, the second one [plane] hit. (18:46) • My tank was hit by a rocket-propelled grenade on November 10th, and it killed the soldier next to me and wounded me mildly. (23:35) • I remember looking at him and the next day was veteran's day. And I remember thinking: “I know he's dead, but his parents don't know he's dead yet. And they're gonna find out on Veteran's Day.” (25:53) • At 26:25 Daniel recalls the experience of being hit by an IED. • It's a miracle that I'm alive, honestly. (28:41) • I end up spending a year in the hospital. (28:57) • People ask me if I have PTSD and I don't, but when I was unconscious, I had horrible, horrible dreams. (30:55) • I went from user-level wounded warrior, just a guy in a hospital bed, to being the guy whose office is overlooking the west wing from across the street. (38:05) • The book is called “Wounding Warriors”. It's on Amazon. (43:4) • The generosity that we do have for veterans is actually too much and in the wrong direction because it incentivizes all the wrong behaviors. (44:18) • The system itself disincentivizes wellness and positivity. It causes people to quit and to disengage from society. (48:08) • The whole system is basically welfare. (50:24) • What we need to do is re-orient the system towards employment and thriving, and towards changing goals from seeing how much money people can get to seeing how good an outcome they can get. (55:06) • We ought not label someone disabled until they've gone through the full rehabilitation process. (55:28) • If you want more of something, incentivize it. If you want less of something, tax it. (56:15) There's 6million people getting disability compensation, and 3.2 million of them are getting it for Tinnitus – ringing of the ears. (58:40) • We should take care of veterans the right way. Not turn them into welfare queens.

When Kellogg's Craig Wortmann lost a portion of his leg to cancer, he felt like he lost part of his identity, too. On this episode of The Insightful Leader podcast, he offers a guide to “bouncing back better.”

The day he left for basic training, Aaron Ritter renounced Jesus and all religion. Living a life of selfishness, and as he puts in "the life of a rock star" (whatever that is). Years in the Navy, as a firefighter, living on the edge daily. Several failed marriages and then a horrific motorcycle accident that ripped part of his right leg off.  A faithful father and mother who never stopped praying for their son. A passion for the outdoors, and finally a life surrendered to Jesus.  Limb-itless Outdoors is a program for amputees to find hope and fulfillment through the outdoors and archery. Aaron shares his journey into a life of hope and a desire to help others find it also.    www.limbitlessoutdoors.com  www.taurususa.com www.cva.com www.himtnjerky.com www.murrelloptics.com www.jumpmedic.com www.christianoutdoors.org www.citrusafe.com www.elimishieldhunt.com

After a below-the-knee amputation due to Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS), Lexi refused to let disability define her.

The Reality of the Numbers and What We Can Do About It   The stats on amputees is staggering. In the US 1 in 200 people have undergone amputation! Over 2.1 million people live with an amputated limb. Worldwide, 1 million ampuatations happen annually, that's 1 amputation every 30 seconds!!!   1 EVERY 30 SECONDS! Amputee Coalition's diagram of statistics taken from Promedeast.com 2023   Even more alarming is the projection of the 2.1 million in the US doubling by the year 2050! (

Resilience and Recon: The Inspiring Journey of Davey Lind In this week's Team Never Quit episode, Marcus and Melanie meet with Master Sergeant Davey Lind, a United States Marine, combat veteran, and motivational leadership speaker whose life story is a testament to resilience, courage, and the power of perseverance. Born and raised in Titusville, Pennsylvania, Davey embarked on his military journey immediately after high school, joining the Marine Corps in 1989. Over the years, he honed his skills and leadership as a Recon Marine, serving in pivotal roles from scout to team leader and participating in key operations, including Desert Storm, Operation Enduring Freedom, and the Iraq War. On June 14, 2007, Davey's life changed forever when a pressure plate IED in Iraq led to the loss of his legs below the knees. Incredibly, he took his first steps just two months after the injury and has continued to inspire others with his unyielding spirit and dedication to recovery and service. Today, Davey is a sought-after motivational speaker, sharing lessons learned from the battlefield and life, focusing on leadership, adaptability, and grit. He resides in Corona, California, with his wife Lisa and their four children, where he continues to make a difference in the private sector with his involvement with PXG Golf. It became a great outlet for him and something to look forward to. He is actively involved in helping veterans heal in the context of golf outings and they have made more friends and memories from various golf adventures. Join us as we dive into Davey's incredible journey, from the challenges of combat to overcoming life-altering injuries and emerging as a beacon of strength and inspiration.  In This Episode You Will Hear: • 35 in the Marine Corps, that's old. (14:04) • We were part of a surge in the summer of '07, and my vehicle struck and activated a pressure plate IED. This IED went off directly underneath me, and from that blast I became a double leg amputee. (15:02) • I rolled over on my back to try to use my left leg to push, and when I tried to do that, that's when I realized my left leg was gone. (24:50) • I'm married, I have kids, I have goals, and I was immediately aware of how challenging my life was gonna be. (25:17) • As a platoon sergeant, I was armed with both a rifle and pistol. That pistol was on my hip, and I had the conscious thought to end my life right there. I could do it before they could finish working on me. (25:33) • I had a very clear moment of calming, reflection of “everybody did their best.” I'm just gonna die here on the battlefield. (26:54) • My initial assessment was “You're gonna walk in about 10 months to a year. (33:32) • Being in a wheelchair, even as a gunny, is like the kids table at Thanksgiving. Nobody's talking to you; they're talking about you. (35:08) • There's a great relationship you have to have with your prosthetic doctor. The fit has to be tight, but not too tight. Then there's alignment. There's a lot that goes into it. (37:39) • Guys like me – a double leg amputee, I call guys that are single leg below the knee – we refer to that as a paper cut. (38:48) • Perspective is everything. (39:35) • I was able to retire though, which is important because I did a full 20 years, 6 months, and 3 days of active duty time. (46:15) • In 2018 I got one of the greatest phone calls I've ever received. Kevin Hudson from PXG called me and said, “We got a program going on - PXG Heroes. If I help you with this program, do you think you could golf a little bit more, and talk about the program, and introduce people to PXG. Would you be willing to do that? (48:19) • Golf is the only thing you can do competitively for the rest of your life. (62:45) • [Marcus] In the beginning you wonder why you got hit. You got hit so you can show people what it's like and stay up.
