Description

Sarah is on a hilarity roll, and we're here for it, but she's going to need some humor to get through her water polo (for seniors) injury. Hopefully her new hot doctor will make her feel better. We discuss the ending of Chimp Crazy, and the wild ways people cope with trauma, loss of identity, and a search for meaning. We talk about the latest serial pooper running loose, and the reasons Sarah thinks he is justified (!) in his targeted defecation despite the fact that Sarah does not know his motives. We learn what Americans want to "kill" based on Google analytics, and why it illuminates a fundamental truth about psychological behavior and our "wise minds." Susie watched the 30 for 30 documentary, False Positive, about track and field star Butch Reynolds. He was told he tested positive for steroids, was banned from the sport, and lost all of his sponsors, but the lab had made an error. We hear what happened after his name was cleared, and discuss the ways people can cope with injustice. Susie is mad about blue balls again, so we discuss this (made up) affliction and why some women claim they've had it too (despite being ball-less).Listen to more podcasts like this: https://wavepodcastnetwork.comJoin our Candy Club, shop our merch, sign-up for our free newsletter, & more by visiting The Brain Candy Podcast website: https://www.thebraincandypodcast.comConnect with us on social media:BCP Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/braincandypodcastSusie's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/susiemeisterSarah's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/imsarahriceBCP on X: https://www.x.com/braincandypodSponsors:This episode is sponsored by BetterHelp.
