Podcasts about animal attacks

Susie is in the throes of Beatlemania, and she found out who Sarah's favorite Beatle is, and it's hilar (especially the reasoning). We learn about people who cannot see visual images or pictures in their mind, what conditions often correlate with the condition, and the pros and cons to having it. We hear why Susie thinks she has an auditory version of it and we discuss people who have something called "blindsight," where their eyes and brain can see things, but they aren't conscious of it, so they are ostensibly blind, but behave as if they aren't. Sarah describes a documentary about a school principal who hypnotized his students and three of them wound up dead. We discuss a nanny who was hired for a wealthy family and moved into their guest house, but when she was fired she refused to leave and invoked "squatter's rights." We debate the virtues of these strange laws that allow people to take over other people's residences.Brain 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:Want to feel safer in online dating?

As the wave barreled ashore on Thailand's west coast, people were sucked under a powerful wall of water that was so strong it ripped the clothes off their backs. It separated husbands from wives, and parents from their children. Six miles out to sea, fisherman Wimon Thongtae raced to figure out how to position his small boat, so it could survive as one giant wave after another sped toward him.Order your copy of the new Against the Odds book, How to Survive Against the Odds: Tales & Tips for Animal Attacks and Natural Disasters, for stories of everyday people confronted by life-or-death situations, showing you how they survived—and how you can too.

Susie and Sarah are psyched about the Louvre heist especially because there was a woman involved, but Sarah's mom is not so pleased. We hear why one UFC fighter is being challenged about his use of a diabolical tactic of tickling, and we learn why it's seen as "unsportsmanlike." We debate the ethics of free diving and why some people think inhaling pure oxygen beforehand is "cheating." Susie watched the Aileen Wournos documentary, and despite being very familiar with the murderes, she still learned a lot that complicated her opinion of what happened. Finally, we debate a viral DoorDash delivery issue where a woman claimed to be "assaulted" by a customer, but believe it or not we're on his side...Brain 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 a limited time get 40% off your first box PLUS get a free item in every box for life.

We survived our live event! And better still we got to meet amazing Brainiacs and Susie got to witness Sarah embody the ghost of PeeWee Herman. It was incredible. We share how we violated one of our sacred principles when we participated in an activity we've previously railed against (we did not climb Mt. Everest). We discuss the woman who was left behind by a cruise ship on a deserted Australian island, and we debate how she died. Sarah reveals the age of the oldest crayon, but more importantly, we learn what it tells us about the human spirit. We talk about a controversial OnlyFans policy that is creating a MLM structure to the site. Sarah theorizes why costumes are getting hyperspecific, and Susie is mad about it. Plus, we learn about the female pitcher who struck out Babe Ruth, and why some people are calling foul.Brain 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:Black Friday has come early at https://cozyearth.com!

On the morning of December 26th, 2004, a 9.1 earthquake struck in the Indian Ocean, triggering a tsunami. Along Thailand's west coast, tourists like Ed and Helen Muesch, and residents like fisherman Wimon Thongtae went about their days, as usual. They were all unaware that a massive wave was heading straight toward them. By the time they realized the threat, they had only seconds to react and try to survive what would become the deadliest natural disaster on record.

We were worried we might not have anything left to talk about on the show (spoiler alert, we were wrong). We discuss the good and bad uses of AI, why it can be a better doctor than a human, why it's more dangerous than plastic, and why Sarah can't quit ChatGPT. Sarah explains why misinformation is causing more marriages than anything else. We share what our "favorite" conspiracy theories are, and why we sort of believe them. Sarah almost got struck by lightning, and why she wants people to be more careful during storms. We hear why there might be a cure for the vision issues of growing old, and we find out that essential oils actually are...essential.Brain 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:Cancel your unwanted subscriptions and reach your financial goals faster at https://rocketmoney.com/braincandy today.Download Hily from the App Store or Google Play, or check out https://hily.comSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Send us a textThe stories behind some lesser-known true crime events. A pair of horror franchises that flopped on television. Some of the craziest wild animal attacks.Episode 218 ends spooky season with a bang and a scream.It all begins with a look at two iconic horror franchises that ultimately flopped on television. A Nightmare on Elm Street crossed into TV with Freddy's Nightmares, while Friday the 13th had a show of the same name. Though powerhouse films in the 1980s, the TV shows didn't fare as well. We'll look at both shows and some about why they did not succeed. Many horrific true crime stories spring to mind when thinking of the worst of the worst. For this segment, we are going to go deeper and look at some of the lesser-known but just as terrifying true crime cases of the 20th century. Some might be familiar, some new to you, but they are all equally disturbing. Animals can be cute and cuddly, but many are extremely dangerous. In this week's Top 5, we will look at some of the craziest wild animal attacks ever. There is, as always, a brand new This Week In History and Time Capsule looking at the life of beloved actor John Candy.You can support my work by becoming a member on Patreon.

Sarah went gay line-dancing, which is like regular line-dancing, but awesome! And now she's hooked. We discuss the Lilith Fair documentary, how the festival compares to Woodstock 99, why women should run more stuff, and why we have a lot of concerts to go to now. We learn about three nuns who broke out of their retirement home and returned to their convent, and the Vatican is not pleased. Hear why Ed McMahon's Publisher's Clearinghouse winners are getting screwed, and now they're going broke despite being lottery winners. We discuss the viral Karen baseball incident, why old people need to can it, and why one of our friends has a crazy hot take about it. Plus, a lot of colleges are now allowing students to bring their pets into the dorms, and Sarah thinks it is a very bad idea.Brain Candy Podcast Presents: Susie & Sarah's SpOoOoOoOoktacular Spectacle, October 30, Oriental Theater, Denver, Colorado: Get your tickets!

Sarah almost got swindled by her mechanic, but she's putting her foot down on the brakes. We learn what McDonald's claims Grimace is, and why Susie thinks they are lying and doing revisionist history for lolz. Sarah found out a fun fact about the David statue, but she is convinced it's a Mandela Effect situation. We learn why Disney theme parks are no longer trying to be affordable in any way, and they are fully embracing income inequality. Plus, Sarah teaches us roller coaster lingo.

In the summer of 1910, a severe drought turned Idaho's Coeur d'Alene National Forest into a tinderbox. Spot fires cropped up around the mining towns of Wallace and Avery and it was the job of forest rangers like Ed Pulaski to put them out. But when a massive windstorm swept through in August, those smaller fires converged into the largest megablaze in American history.Order your copy of the new Against the Odds book, How to Survive Against the Odds: Tales & Tips for Animal Attacks and Natural Disasters, for stories of everyday people confronted by life-or-death situations, showing you how they survived—and how you can too.

Sarah dropped a Great British Baking Bomb on the show today and shattered our love affair with the culinary reality show. They have officially jumped the shark, and we're none too pleased. We hear why one of a League of Their Own real-life legends is promoting women's baseball, but they're taking a different approach than the WNBA.

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.

How to survive bear or shark attack? What should you do if you are bitten by a snake? Here're some tips on what to do when you encounter a wild animal and how to survive wild animal attacks. When we meet some wild animals on a picnic or in the woods, we get scared. But we usually don't know what to do in each case as we might not fully realize the danger and act properly. Any warm-blooded animal might be a carrier of rabies. This is a lethal disease that can't be cured. The disease is transmitted through a bite or spit. However sweet an animal seems, you'd better not touch it. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Susie learned about a shocking situation developing at a French aquarium housing killer whales where animal rights activists caught the trainers, um, handling the whales to alleviate adult desires brewing between the whales. We hear why it's happening, and why it's so upsetting (beyond the obvious). We discuss the situation between 74yo former NFL coach Bill Bellichek and his 24yo girlfriend, why we can't decide who the villain is, and why it's flipping the script of May/December romances. We learn the story of the Great British Bakeoff, why they take casting so seriously, and why the bakers hold disdain for a particular type of cast member. Susie talks about the lawsuit against airlines who charge people for windowless window seats on flights, and why we think it'll shake up the industry. We learn why many adults are ordering kids meals and why Sarah won't do it. And we discuss whether it is important to be able to read an analog clock and write cursive, and why learning handwriting is about far more than it seems.Brain Candy Podcast Presents: Susie & Sarah's SpOoOoOoOoktacular Spectacle, October 30, Oriental Theater, Denver, Colorado: Get your tickets!

Sarah was having the time of her life in the creepiest national park that may or may not have alien life. We learn about a horse who died under mysterious circumstances and how a cult got started nearby. And we hear about her experience at a hot spring in her area that freaked her out and made her foot feel like it was on fire. We learn about a flesh eating maggot that is threatening America's lifestock, and it's making us wonder if Paul McCartney was right all along about eating meat. We learn why tennis is the best sport to play for overall health and longevity. And we debate the use of GLP-1s by Serena Williams, and the reason Susie is confused about why her coach wanted her to lose weight in the first place.Brain Candy Podcast Presents: Susie & Sarah's SpOoOoOoOoktacular Spectacle, October 30, Oriental Theater, Denver, Colorado: Get your tickets!

After Joe Simpson fractures his leg, his climbing partner Simon Yates begins lowering him down the mountain, 300 feet at a time.

And Simon, anchored above, can't pull him back up. They trapped in a deadly stalemate.Our story consultant for this series is Simon Yates.

Sarah wants Susie to see T-Pain with her in Denver, and Susie's up for it, but had to confess she doesn't know any of his songs. We discuss one-hit-wonder band, Devo, why they were misunderstood, why they never had another hit, and how expectations determine how a band deals with only having one hit. We find out the origin story for Sweet Caroline being played at sporting events, why a tragedy caused the ritual to spread, and why Susie is still confused about how the song became interactive. Plus, we learn why Sarah hates "swaying" songs. Susie and Sarah have a sing-a-long with church and camp music. And Susie explains why Keanu Reeves is the most impersonated celebrity of all time, how scammers use fandom to prey upon victims, and why men and women fall for different tricks.Brain Candy Podcast Presents: Susie & Sarah's SpOoOoOoOoktacular Spectacle, October 30, Oriental Theater, Denver, Colorado: Get your tickets! 0:00 - Susie's T-Pain Blind Spot & Overalls Fashion09:58 - The Misunderstood Genius of Devo and One-Hit Wonders22:13 - Unpacking Sweet Caroline and Camp Sing-Alongs39:34 - Why Keanu Reeves is the Top Celebrity Scammer TargetBrain 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:Visit https://www.carawayhome.com/braincandy10 to take an additional 10% off your next purchase.Get 25% off your first month of Ritual when you visit https://ritual.com/braincandy & add Essential Protein 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.

Brain Candy is pumped up for their live event--if you haven't gotten your tickets, now is the time! Sarah is in charge of grassroots promotions, and it reminded her of the importance of being a part of our communities in real life. We discuss the trend of moms going hog-wild decorating their children's dorm rooms, why we think they're doing this, and why it makes us yearn for less polished lives. Sarah explains why people often laugh at her when she is being serious, and why Susie is guilty of accidentally doing this. And Sarah had an incident in a parking lot where a man called her out on her parking, and she can't quit thinking about it and the regrets she has about the interaction.Brain Candy Podcast Presents: Susie & Sarah's SpOoOoOoOoktacular Spectacle, October 30, Oriental Theater, Denver, Colorado: Get your tickets! 0:00 - Sarah's Grassroots Promotion and Community Connection12:09 - Experience Unmatched Comfort with Cozy Earth Sheets14:21 - The Problem with Over-Parenting and Aesthetic Perfection29:42 - Cure Nausea Fast with the Relief Band33:01 - Sarah's Frugality and Misunderstood Serious Tone42:31 - Sarah's Parking Lot Confrontation and Episode Wrap-UpBrain 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:Head to https://cozyearth.com and use my code BRAINCANDY for 40% off!

But high on the mountain, Joe suffers a catastrophic injury, forcing Simon to make an agonizing decision: risk his own life to try and save his partner… or leave him behind to die.Our story consultant for this series is Simon Yates.

Susie watched the Biggest Loser docuseries, and it just confirms everything we've been saying about reality tv for decades, but it leaves the question of whether we should expect more from our "entertainment." We find out whether twins have "telepathy" or any kind of special biological ability that allows them to understand each other better, read each other's thoughts, and feel physical pain the other is experiencing. There's a new record for the longest lightning bolt, and we're glad we weren't there for it. We get an update on our old pal James Howells who accidentally threw away his hard drive (and the key to his crypto) that is now worth about a billion dollars, and his efforts to retrieve it from the garbage dump.Brain Candy Podcast Presents: Susie & Sarah's SpOoOoOoOoktacular Spectacle, October 30, Oriental Theater, Denver, Colorado: Get your tickets! 00:00 - Feeling Good, Booking Appointments, and Our Spooktacular Spectacle05:15 - Unpacking The Biggest Loser: Reality TV's Harmful Impact14:46 - The Biggest Loser's Temptation Challenges and Ethical Dilemmas25:18 - Motivation, Shame, and the Role of Therapy in Weight Loss34:13 - Is Twin Telepathy Real?

Susie's shirt sparked a whole conversation about Ayn Rand, red flag books, Catcher in the Rye, incels, back-to-school hauls, PacSun jeans, the great jeans/genes scandal, and Lauren Sanchez. And none of it was planned. So buckle up. We debate whether/how we can regulate adult content online to limit its exposure to children without compromising free speech and ushering in a surveillance state, and well, we get nowhere. We find out about a UK drug lord whose undoing came from an unlikely informant, and it taught us why you should never trust someone with an unusual pet. We learn how much birds are pooping, and we're not ok. And scientists found out which type of music mosquitoes hate, and let's just say Susie feels vindicated.Brain 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:Cancel your unwanted subscriptions and reach your financial goals faster at https://rocketmoney.com/braincandy today.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

After weeks on the River of Doubt, Theodore Roosevelt's expedition is on the verge of collapse. But hope emerges when they find clues that Brazilian frontiersmen may be living and working in the wilderness nearby.

Susie found out that the lesbian community has a real affinity for fingers, and she might have what they're looking for, but she wonders if the gays are keeping secrets about their romantic ways. We learn about a man who announced his intention to do assisted suicide, but asked people to invite him to dinner beforehand. We find out how his dinner tour is going, why mental health experts are not impressed with him, and why he might abandon his original plan. We discuss an all-women commune and find out why they forbid men, how they arrange their community, and why it's so popular. Susie talks about the new documentary about the Yogurt Shop Murders, and how the film shows the ripple effect of violent crime in families and communities, and why it extends beyond crimes's victims.

We are super excited to announce our very first live event in Denver on October 30! We discuss all the details of what we have planned for our inaugural IRL Brain Candy event! (get tickets here!).

Challenges mount as the expedition travels farther down the river. With the end of their journey nowhere in sight, hunger and disease take their toll on the men. Colonel Rondon wonders if members of an indigenous tribe are following them … and waiting to attack. Tensions between the men simmer, until they explode in violence.

In May 1986, a group of high school students and faculty embarked on a journey to the top of Mount Hood, Oregon's tallest mountain. The climb was part of an annual wilderness program, and was usually uneventful. But during this climb, a brutal and massive storm engulfed the mountain, stranding the climbers near the summit, and forcing them into a harrowing battle for survival.Order your copy of the new Against the Odds book, How to Survive Against the Odds: Tales & Tips for Animal Attacks and Natural Disasters, for stories of everyday people confronted by life-or-death situations, showing you how they survived—and how you can too.

Susie has an update on her cat situation, and Sarah is learning more than she ever wanted to know about cat cafes. We debate the cake smash tradition at weddings, and we hear why the more violent and abusive examples of this are going viral on TikTok. And we consider why men resort to this aggressive ritual even when they're humiliating or hurting the bride. We learn about a group of shark bite survivors who have formed a community to help each other with side effects both physical and emotional, and we discuss the human urge to connect. Amanda Knox wrote a piece on why we shouldn't call people "evil," and how this does a disservice to victims of violent crimes. And we learn some surprising effects your first name can have on your life.Brain 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:Go to https://paireyewear.com and use code BCP for 15% off your first pair.
