Summary
On this episode of The Brain Candy Podcast, Sarah Rice and Susie Meister discuss the viral scientific study regarding LEGO digestion. We explore the pediatric research that determined exactly how long it takes for a swallowed LEGO brick to pass through the digestive system and the hilarious acronym scientists created for the process. The conversation then shifts to the rise and fall of 90s fitness icon Susan Powter. We discuss the documentary detailing how the Stop the Insanity spokesperson went from leading a multimillion-dollar wellness empire to working in the gig economy, and the complex legal battles that led to her decline.
We also investigate the rare medical condition known as Foreign Accent Syndrome, where patients suddenly speak with an unlearned accent. Finally, we break down the conspiracy theory involving the San Francisco 49ers and their practice facility, examining the speculation that toxic field conditions are contributing to the NFL team's high injury rate. Plus, Sarah shares stories from her girls' weekend and Susie celebrates her new bowling ball ownership.
