Welcome back to This Is My Circus — the podcast where parenting meets pop culture chaos, and goat cuddling is cheaper than therapy. This week, we’re bringing stories that range from adorable to unhinged, including TikTok trolls, cruise ship heroes, and a real-life Dexter you won’t believe.

In this episode, we cover:

• 🐐 Our literal goat cuddling experience (yes, we paid extra and yes, it was worth every penny)
• ⚠️ A Disney Cruise dad jumps overboard to save his daughter — and treads water for 20 minutes like a legend
• 🩺 A new nurse spreads affair rumors… about a daughter and her dad? Yikes.
• 🧴 Drugstore beauty wins: The $1.25 bronzing drops you need now
• ✈️ Meredith’s obsession with Emirates airline and why we were meant to fly first-class forever

🧼 Real Talk + Life Lately:

• Our chaotic Dollar Tree finds (thank you Nina Pool!)
• Tried the new local spot, The Cattle Car — rustic glam + great food? Yes please.
• Gas station pranks, and the weirdest storms of summer

🎙️ “Am I the A-Hole?”

A hospital social worker gets a nurse fired for spreading gossip that she’s having an affair with...her dad.
Verdict: Not the A-hole. But also...what’s going on in that hallway?

🧠 Deep Dives + Weird News:

• A real-life Dexter in Brazil: Pedro Rodriguez, aka “The Brazilian Vigilante,” claimed over 100 victims — but only the “bad guys”
• Four 5th-grade girls plot a classmate’s murder over cheating rumors. WHAT.
• A wind turbine blade falls into traffic — Final Destination flashbacks incoming
• Conspiracy TikTok alert: CIA files, Mandela effects, and the rabbit hole you’ll never crawl out of

📚 Book Chat: What She Left by H.K. Christie

We wanted to love this one — the mystery, the flawed PI mom, the buried secrets — but the robotic narration and stiff dialogue took us out of it.

⭐️ Rating: 2.5/10
💬 Strong premise, poor execution. The addiction arc was solid, but the pacing dragged and the delivery was dry.

📖 Next Read: You by Charles Benoit

A dark YA thriller told in second person. It’s short, intense, and under 4 hours — let’s see if it redeems our reading week.
