    The Brown Note- AYSM (SILWARR)

    In this AYSM - Something I Learned While Avoiding Real Responsibilities solo episode, Brett dives into one of the internet’s most infamous scientific myths: The Brown Note—the supposed ultra-low sound frequency powerful enough to make you instantly lose bowel control. Is it real? Could a deep bass tone actually turn your intestines into a malfunctioning subwoofer? And why has this myth survived for decades despite being busted harder than a cheap speaker at a Metallica concert? Brett breaks down the strange science of infrasound, the spooky ways low frequencies mess with your brain, the South Park episode that launched the legend into pop culture, and the moment MythBusters literally tried to weaponize acoustics in the name of science. Spoiler: no pants were harmed. You’ll learn where the story came from, why people swear it has to be true, and what infrasound really does to the human body (hint: wrong end). It’s weird, it’s hilarious, it’s slightly unsettling — classic AYSM. If you’ve ever wondered whether a sound can actually make you poop… this episode hits all the right frequencies. Cheers! Brett

    The Great Cranberry Scare of 1959

    This week on Are You Sh!#ing Me?, Something I Learned While Avoiding Real Responsibilities, Brett goes solo to unpack one of the weirdest, most unnecessary, and most delightfully chaotic moments in American holiday history: , The Great Cranberry Scare of 1959 — the year the government basically told everyone, “Happy Thanksgiving… maybe don’t eat anything red.” Just two weeks before Thanksgiving, officials announced that some cranberries might be contaminated with a weed killer that could cause cancer in rats. The result? Panic. Outrage. Angry telegrams. Politicians flexing by chugging cranberry juice on TV. And an entire country looking for emergency backup side dishes (spoiler: it wasn’t pretty). President Eisenhower skipped the cranberry sauce. Grocery stores pulled cans off shelves. Life Magazine suggested pickled watermelon rind. AMERICA. LOST. ITS. MIND. Buckle up, because I discovered something while procrastinating that sent me into a spiral. Brett breaks down: • Why the warning happened • How bad the science actually was • Why Nixon ate four servings on camera like a deranged berry martyr • The letters the White House received (including Canadians demanding an apology) • And how this panic shaped modern food safety laws All that plus jokes, rants, and whatever Brett was supposed to be doing instead of researching 1950s cranberry drama.
