Our girl Sarah was a good citizen and performed her civic duty of jury duty, so we hear about all the insanity, nonsense, and protocol she went through just to perform the thankless task of justice. Plus, she had a post-birthday snowboarding experience with a bunch of ladies, and she is riding the high of powder playtime. We hear why friction gets a bad rap when it's actually important to survival. We discuss a man who thought he had lung cancer, but really he had inhaled an everyday household item. We learn which men Sarah counts as "safe men" even though she doesn't want them romantically. Plus, we learn about "facial conformity" and how if an actor doesn't get botox or plastic surgery they're perceived as more talented.Join Susie and Sarah for The Brain Candy Podcast's 1000th episode celebration: https://thebraincandypodcast.com/product/brain-candy-1000th-episode-event/00:00 - Sarah's First-Hand Account of the Jury Duty Process20:00 - Dismissal and Reflection on the Flawed Jury System23:37 - Finding Joy and Community at an All-Women's Snowboarding Event28:52 - Unpacking the Foundational Role of Friction in Life and Technology33:47 - The Wild Story of a Man Who Inhaled a Toy at Age 742:06 - Discussing Competence and Protection in the "Safe Man" Archetype46:59 - Facial Conformity in Hollywood and the Power of Empathy56:28 - Upcoming Events, Partner Codes, and Patreon ContentBrain 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://www.brodo.com/CANDY for 20% off your first subscription order and use code CANDY for an additional $10 off.Get 15% off OneSkin with the code BRAINCANDY at https://www.oneskin.co/BRAINCANDY #oneskinpodSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Eric and Lauren take a look at two very different sides of the Disney parks experience. First, they dive into the strange, frustrating, and sometimes hilarious examples of bad guest behavior that cast members deal with every day. Then they flip the script and explore the world of Disney content creators - highlighting some of the nicest influencers in the community and breaking down how people actually turn Disney fandom into a career online. HIGHLIGHTS Weird guest behavior in the parks: From guests interrupting performances to someone walking into Animal Kingdom with an entire bag of hard-boiled eggs, Eric and Lauren share some of the strangest stories pulled from Disney fan forums. Cast member frustrations: The duo discusses the kinds of guest behavior that drive cast members crazy - including entitlement over “pixie dust,” arguing about ride safety rules, spoiling character magic for kids, and hoarding limited-edition merchandise. Guests behaving badly: Stories range from public arguments over reality TV in Disney restaurants to runaway scooters smashing trash cans - plus the uncomfortable reality of guests ignoring common courtesy in the parks. The nicest Disney influencers: A Reddit deep dive reveals a surprisingly wholesome consensus about creators like Paging Mr. Morrow, while Lauren shares why Disney Dish co-host Len Testa stands out as one of the most beloved figures in the Disney fan community. How Disney creators actually make money: Eric and Lauren explain YouTube monetization, sponsorships, Patreon communities, and the reality that many influencers still keep full-time jobs while building their Disney platforms.

Other veteran creatives this season included Jim “The Oz” Olivia, who helps run the World's Largest Trivia Contest, and Doris Hardoon whose years as an Imagineer at Disney yielded many insights for us into what it took to create “the happiest place on earth” at EPCOT and later at Shanghai Disney Resort. We uncovered the parlor game and puzzle obsessions of Broadway legend Stephen Sondheim with author Barry Joseph, who has published an in-depth look at a little-examined facet of Sondheim's genius. Adam Bellow detailed the process of developing escape room-inspired educational kits for classrooms all over the world through the work of his company, Breakout EDU. Of course, we had many standout escape room owners share their trials, tribulations, and moments of triumph. Will & Kim Rutherford, owners of Escape Artist Greenville, Stephen & Stevie Kristof of 60 to Escape in the Chicago area, and Jonathan Driscoll & Sacha St. Dennis of Escaparium in Montreal, where RECON will be held in August of 2026.

This week, Phillip and Jeremy sit down with Aaron, a Disney College Program alum who spent his time keeping Magic Kingdom spotless as part of the custodial team. Aaron pulls back the curtain on what it's actually like to work one of Disney's most overlooked and most essential roles, from navigating massive crowds on Main Street to handling the kinds of messes that would make most people quit on the spot. And if you thought custodial meant just sweeping up popcorn, Aaron is about to change your mind completely.Aaron also dishes on what it was like occasionally crossing over to other parks, and how the vibe, the guests, and the chaos level differ more than you'd expect depending on where you're clocking in that day.Then things get competitive. Phillip puts Aaron's Disney instincts to the ultimate test with The Sound Check, a game where Aaron has to identify locations around Walt Disney World using nothing but ambient sounds and audio clues. Queue music, attraction effects, crowd noise. If you've spent enough time in the parks, you know the sounds. But can Aaron's ears hold up under pressure?It's insider stories, park secrets, and a whole lot of laughs. This one's not to be missed.
What do NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Disney, and Nordstrom have in common? They've all turned to Betsy Lopez-Riley to navigate their biggest moments of reinvention. A senior transformation leader with over 20 years of experience, Lopez-Riley knows that big ideas only work when they work for the people executing them. Ahead of her sessions at SPARK HR 2026, HR Daily Advisor sat down with Lopez-Riley to discuss why traditional HR strategies often fail and how to bridge the gap between corporate vision and everyday execution. Check out the latest episode of the HR Works Podcast for the full discussion!
“Plus it" is a Disney term - or a philosophy - often linked to Walt Disney himself. Its meaning is to take an idea, project, or detail and make it even better, more magical, or more detailed than originally planned. It emphasizes enhancing the Guest experience or creative product beyond the expected. Scott recently went to Walt Disney World and the surrounding areas for his birthday. He ate some amazing food, rode a bunch of rides, and saw some incredible shows including a couple that he's never seen before and one that he hasn't seen in about 40 years! The best part of it all was that he got to spend some quality time with his wife and friends. Everyone went above and beyond to make this trip so amazing and memorable. There were so many laughs and magical moments and a few surprises and unique experiences were bestowed upon Scott. Because of all of this, “Birthday Trip 2026 - Plus It” seemed like a perfect name for this recap.Enjoy!Email: TheMouseAndMePodcast@gmail.comSupport: www.patreon.com/themouseandmeFB and Instagram: “The Mouse and Me”Music by Kevin MacLeod from https://incompetech.filmmusic.io
In Disney and Pixar's delightful new film Hoppers, a young woman (Piper Curda) learns a beloved glade is under threat from the town's slimy mayor (Jon Hamm). But luckily, she discovers that her college professor has developed technology that can let her live as one of the critters she loves – by allowing her mind to “hop” into an animatronic beaver. And it just might just allow her to help save the glade from serious risk of destruction.Follow Pop Culture Happy Hour on Letterboxd at letterboxd.com/nprpopcultureSubscribe to Pop Culture Happy Hour Plus at plus.npr.org/happyhourTo manage podcast ad preferences, review the links below:See pcm.adswizz.com for information about our collection and use of personal data for sponsorship and to manage your podcast sponsorship preferences.Learn more about sponsor message choices: podcastchoices.com/adchoicesNPR Privacy Policy
From medieval France to ancient Greece, these chilling cases of accused werewolves reveal a dark history where shapeshifting confessions, devil's pacts, and gruesome crimes blurred the line between legend and reality.==========HOUR ONE: On a barren field in the U.S. state of Georgia, five granite slabs rise in a star pattern. Each of them weighs over 20 tons and on top of them, there is a capstone. Nobody knows who built it or why they were placed there, but one popular opinion that their purpose is to guide humanity after a predicted post-apocalyptic event that will come in the not so distant future. (The American Stonehenge) *** When you think "fairies," what comes to mind? You probably picture an adorable and sparkly creature akin to Disney's Tinker Bell, a lovely - and above all, friendly - presence. You may even want to make contact with them. Unfortunately, glittering humanoids with butterfly wings are the stuff of children's books. Retrace faerie folklore, and you'll discover their secret scary origins. (The Dark Side of Fairies) *** In the Summer of 1949, a geologist named Vadim Kolpakov discovered a strange feature on the surface of the earth in the Bodaibo, Irkutsk, region of South-Eastern Siberia. Encircled by a largely treed area, this anomaly is oval with a conical crater that contains a small ball-like mound in its middle. The geologic mystery has baffled scientists who are uncertain of what caused this weird formation. (What Caused the Patomskiy Crater) *** Is there any truth behind the enduring legend of the werewolf? (Planet Werewolf) *** The Red Pen==========HOUR TWO: Love, money, divorce, anger, and murder. One Pennsylvania family had it all and then some in the late 1800's. (The Butler County Tragedy) *** Count Saint Germain and Jacques Saint Germain, John and Wayne Carter, the Casket Girls of New Orleans. Despite many years between all of their lives, they all still have one grisly thing in common. All were thought to be, and possibly were, real vampires tied to the Big Easy… a place where real blood-suckers continue to live and roam the streets even now in the twenty-first century. (Vampires of New Orleans) *** They have a long history in the United Kingdom, stalking the moors and fog-carpeted streets in the night. But it appears hounds from Hell have also made their way to the Americas.
