907: Pop the Balloon, Greed & Gold, & Sock Sniffer
Johnny Bananas is up to his old tricks (and we do mean OLD) on the Netflix *live* dating game, Pop the Balloon, where he may or may not have been accused of racism, but either way he was giving extreme creepy uncle cringe vibes. We follow-up on our discussion on the Gold & Greed documentary on the treasure hunt that cost some people their lives and caused many controversies over a decade. Sarah describes the Bad Influence docuseries about a group of child influencers, the parent who exploited them, and the ways it was similar to a cult. Plus, we hear about a man who got a lung infection from a disgusting daily habit, and we'll never get over it.Listen to more podcasts like this: https://wavepodcastnetwork.comRead this week's Newsletter: https://mailchi.mp/thebraincandypodcast/make-the-whistling-stop-theres-no-such-thing-as-porn-addiction-is-luck-realJoin 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:Get 40% off with my code BRAINCANDY at https://cozyearth.comCancel your unwanted subscriptions and reach your financial goals faster with Rocket Money.
