777: One Hit Wonder, NASA's Worm, & The Dingo Took My Baby

from The Brain Candy Podcast

Susie is still deciding on her 2024 theme, but she does have some goals picked, and they are hilarious. Let's just say she is doing some serious research about one hit wonders, and has some big musical plans. We discuss the cultural phenomenon of the "dingo took my baby," where it came from, and what it really meant. Turns out that global joke came from a tragic story that kept getting worse the more we learned. We hear about a decades old murder that shows how racism and one man's lie had huge consequences throughout Boston and almost prevented justice. We discuss the history of NASA's logo, and why their real logo isn't the one you see on merch. We talk about how hearing aids need a redesign and Susie has some awkward questions about Jimmy Carter and people who are nearing the end of life. Sarah's tech bro pal who wants to be forever young is on the dating scene and if you see him on Tinder, run for your life. A Senate staffer got caught doing the nasty in a the judiciary committed hearing room and we cannot believe what some people put on their Instagram close friends after watching the footage.Listen to more podcasts like this: https://wavepodcastnetwork.comRead this week's Newsletter: https://mailchi.mp/thebraincandypodcast/a-nursing-home-rock-star-the-power-of-body-heat-moreJoin 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/ImSarahRiceSponsors:This episode is sponsored by BetterHelp. Visit https://www.betterhelp.com/braincandy today to get 10% off your first month!Go to https://nutrafol.com and enter the promo code BRAINCANDY to save $15 off your first month’s subscription!Get 20% OFF @honeylove by going to https://www.honeylove.com/braincandy! #honeylovepodGo to paireyewear.com and use code BRAINCANDY for 15% off your first pair!See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
