426: Biosphere 2, Roast Me, Rapping Stroke Victim

from The Brain Candy Podcast

Today we discuss Biosphere 2, which was way more involved & fascinating than we realized. Hear why the experiment didn't get respect from their academic community & bananas don't make great wine. We discuss the psychology of the Roast Me subreddit, & the reasons people w/ terminal illnesses & disabilities do the best w/ the insults. We learn about a man who had a stroke that made him rhyme constantly, so he became a 63-year-old rapper. Plus, we find out about anti-fap & porn addiction groups.Listen to more podcasts like this: https://wavepodcastnetwork.comRead this week's Newsletter: https://mailchi.mp/thebraincandypodcast/426-427Join 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 Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/braincandypodSusie's Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/susie_meisterSarah's Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/ImSarahRiceSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
