We completed the bit of Susie not watching Interstellar, and now we're hearing Sooz Review of the film. Sarah is still emotionally recovering from it. It was emotional! So we're getting existential, philosophical, and galactic! We hear why humans are the only animals with chins, and it turns out it's kinda wacky. We find out why one scientist thinks ADHD is best defined as a hypercuriosity, and Sarah is a real big fan of this spin on it. There is a dog poop problem in New York, and it's causing a divide between people who see their dogs as equal to people vs. people who think they should be treated like animals, not humans.

24:24 - Redefining ADHD as a Persistent Pattern of Hypercuriosity

Sarah got an invite to attend the Enhanced Games (the competitive sports where anything goes in terms of performance enhancement). We find out how a crime was recently solved thanks to the nerdy expertise of a botanist. We hear why the Boston and Southern accents might become obsolete, and we're pretty sad about it. We lament the shallow nature of some online culture, and basically we want to bring back Peruvian bowler hats.

We are loving season two of Jury Duty, Company Retreat, and we talk about how the show does an amazing job at casting their unsuspecting foils. Susie has an update on the anal bead scandal that rocked the chess world, and why it turns out the rumor has an unlikely origin. We celebrate the incredible Artemis II crew, and their incredible mission to space (and also how hot they all are). We discuss the Moriah Wilson documentary about the murder of the gravel cyclist by a jealous woman, and how we never get sick of analyzing the unhinged behavior of sociopaths. Scientists were able to watch a sperm whale birth, and made some shocking revelations about how it happens, why it's similar to humans, and why it was a mystery until now. We find out about a surprising trick to keeping seagulls away from your food that scholars recently discovered.

We did it! 1,000 episodes! Today we celebrate our achievement by talking about a scandal on Mt. Everest where we don't even know who the villain is. We find out what an everyday superpower is and we discuss what ours are. We learn about the woman who created the star categorization system that is still used. We hear why some people are getting exposed for their non-Christian attitudes through their treatment of a statue of Jesus. We discuss a man who flew 16,000 feet in the air using a lawn chair and some balloons. And we debate the virtues of the Irish Goodbye.

Sarah won't quit talking about horses, and her love for them, but she explains why it turns out, we're not really meant to ride them. We hear about the quadruple amputee who is accused of committing murder, but wait, there's more, he's also a cornhole champion. He's full of surprises! Susie hooked on bowling ever since she got her own ball, and now she's watching the HBO docuseries, Born to Bowl. We learn about the recent (accidental) discovery that queen bees can live underwater, and we find out how it's possible. There's a restaurant that's causing a literal stink and getting citations for it, so we debate whether it's racist or fair play. We discuss the French trial Gisele Pelicot's husband, who drugged his wife and let men assault her, and the surprising dynamic between her and her daughter that reveals the complexity of trauma. Plus, we find out why dreaming is a complex bodily function, how it helps your memory, and why lucid dreamers might have an advantage.

We learn about a lawsuit a Lion King songwriter filed against a comedian for "misrepresenting" his song that made us furious. We delight in the defamation trial of one-hit-wonder and national treasure, Afroman, where he made fools of the police who wrongfully searched his home and destroyed his property. Sarah is watching the Age of Attraction dating reality show, which claims to fight against dating only people of your same age, but we think it just reinforces existing stereotypes. We discuss the dinosaur documentary on Netflix and how it feels like people that believe any crazy conspiracy theory on TikTok are the ones questioning the science of dinosaurs. Sarah says who in her relationship is sportier. Plus, we find out the downside of being a lesbian.

Today we learn what happens to your body when you're struck by lightning, why some people don't feel anything, and why many victims believe they are human lightning rods. We find out about the one Minnesota town that is not on Google Earth, the reason they don't want to be included, and why we think they're hypocrites. We find out why some sick people who defy their terminal prognosis are mad when they continue to live. We find out what "microcheating" is and debate whether it's fair to get mad if your partner "likes" another person's pics on Instagram or sends flirty texts. We discuss an article that argued there is no such thing as psychopaths, and why we're pretty sure it was written by a psychopath.

We have a new sound effect--so brace yourself! We learn about an artist who stole the top one inch from a mountain summit, and we have to debate whether we hate the artist or the mountain climbers who are mad at him. Sarah shares why her new hobby is her destiny, and she is going full-hog into her equine lifestyle. Sarah explains the concept of an "alpine divorce," why she's experienced it many times, and how if you want to know whether you're in a good relationship you have to go on a hike. We discuss the man who is a mountain serial killer who takes his girlfriends mountain climbing just to let them perish. Sarah describes something called "hype aversion," and the feeling some people have about things that are widely popular.

Sarah had a near-death experience. Well, she had an experience. And we find out why a shopping cart became a sign to change her plans. We learn what her new hobby is, and why Susie is hoping it's less snobby and "white privilege" forward than snowboarding and skiing. Susie played Scattergories and would like the Brainiac community to settle a debate with her opponent. We discuss the Louis Theroux: Inside the Manosphere documentary, and hear why there's no happy ending for YouTubers, their audience, or the general public. We talk about the HGTV Home Rehab host whose show was cancelled due to leaked footage where she said the n-word, and the reason Susie's experience on Road Rules made her a little bit more sympathetic than she would otherwise be (but still not!). We learn about the Reuters investigation into uncovering Banksy's identity, why it was like finding a needle in a haystack, and the reason we're not amused by the artist or his anonymity.

Sarah tapped into her Horse Girl history during her vacation in Costa Rica. Hear about an AirBnB lawsuit where a man having an affair got caught because of his host's review. We get some very bleak news about Gen Z men/boys, why they're more misogynistic than older generations, and what we think is going to happen. We find out how men's stripper spending habits can predict a bad economy before economists can. We learn about oversharing, why some people do it, why they shouldn't, and why Susie loves it.
