Today we discuss how humans don’t do well being alone, and how the Challenge and other reality shows can demonstrate what happens when we are alone with our thoughts. Sarah explains how lakes can explode and how one hilariously named man is trying to prevent the next lake explosion. We discuss animals in captivity and how scientists are coming up with creative ways to avoid hurting animals while still satisfying the desire people have to connect with them. Sarah lists the signs that you’re dying (and Susie is now convinced she’s a goner), and why dying from “natural causes” is unclear and varies around the world. Join our book club, shop our merch, sign-up for our free newsletter, & more by visiting The Brain Candy Podcast website: Connect with us on social media: BCP Instagram: Susie’s Instagram: Sarah’s Instagram: BCP Twitter: Susie’s Twitter: Sarah’s Twitter: Sponsors: Go to Go to & use code: braincandy65 for 65% off plus free shipping!
