Both hosts are getting an MRI soon, and now they're worried because some dude got killed by a machine recently when he wore a necklace into the MRI room. We hear what really happened today. We speculate about what we would get arrested for if we ever get arrested. Susie recounts the time she almost went to jail over breakfast, and Sarah claims she almost had to sue someone over mismatched carpet. Sarah watched an incredible documentary, and we can't believe what the topic of it is: extreme birdwatching. We learn why these birders are very competitive, strict with the rules, and are willing to spend a lot of money looking to see more species. Hear about the birding scandal that rocked their "honor system" and what they think about apps that help you identify and track birds.Brain Candy Podcast Presents: Susie & Sarah's SpOoOoOoOoktacular Spectacle, October 30, Oriental Theater, Denver, Colorado: Get your tickets!
