910: Flow State, Sperm Racing, & Balloon Boy

from The Brain Candy Podcast

Susie is sharing a tragic tale of why her dancing at the gay wedding was cut short. They also had a peek at each other's sacral dimples and will update you about their size, scope, and scale. Is bigger better? Find out. Susie watched a documentary about songwriting and they discuss the mystery and wonder of the "flow state," what we think causes inspiration, and why it's so curious. We learn about an unhoused person who won the California lottery, and while we're happy for him, Susie is a little judge-y and she has some tough news for him about the price of life these days. We think he might be being a little optimistic about how far that money can go. We discuss a new "sport" where men are, wait for it, racing their sperm. Sigh. Scientists are very excited about narwals playing with their food, but we can't quite figure out why. Susie watched a documentary about tornados, and wants to remind people to stay safe out there. Plus, we reminisce about the lunacy of Balloon Boy, who for one hilarious day was the star of the internet.
