1025: Bushes Are Out, Maternal Instinct, & Hot Animals

Susie went off on people with misophonia out of nowhere. Sarah teaches us about "analog rules." We discuss the insane documentary, Maternal Instinct, where a woman pretended to be pregnant and then kills a pregnant woman and steals her baby. We learn how this happened and discuss how the medical professionals who knew she couldn't be pregnant claimed they couldn't alert anyone because of HIPPA rules. We find out why young people are growing out their bushes, and we are not sure we support this. Maybe a little bush maintenance would be a nice compromise? An Amazon worker was delivering a package when he was confronted with his own lost cat at the home of his neighbor (who had stolen it), and after he took his cat back he was fired. We find out how climate change is affecting animals, and it turns out, we're not the only ones who are sweating our balls off. 00:00 - Why Toy Story's Message of Imagination Matters 03:14 - From Space Analogs to Personal Growth and Cozy Comfort 15:18 - Gen Z's 'Bush in a Bikini' Trend and Pubic Hair Debates 27:58 - The Amazon Driver Who Found His Lost Cat at a Delivery 34:57 - Unraveling the Web of Lies: Maternal Instinct Documentary Part 1 42:35 - The Horrific Fake Pregnancy, Murder, and Baby Theft 59:18 - HIPAA's Role and the Bystander Effect in a Tragic Case 01:01:49 - Climate Change's Effect on Behavior and Episode Takeaways Brain Candy Podcast Website - https://thebraincandypodcast.com/ Brain Candy Podcast Book Recommendations - https://thebraincandypodcast.com/books/ Brain Candy Podcast Merchandise - https://thebraincandypodcast.com/cand...
