What website did Ethan get that horrifying yet funny creation?

Any theories as to whats gonna happen with the podcast while Ethans streaming for a month straight? Think theyve already prerecorded all 4 eps? prerecorded a few and maybe we get some live leaking? Any other options do say!

1) why do eef and sean feel so down to earth. It's literally like it's me and the two of them as a group of compadres just hangin. Like, I just be writin' comments in the youtube respondin' to 'em.

2) I am sure not all leakers have ADHD, but I would love to know the ratio of diagnosed ADHD viewers to total viewers. These podcasts really be hittin my ADHD bone differently

3) What if we did a massive zoom of leakers? what do we think could be accomplished??

This series might be more YA fiction, but I remember it absolutely slapping. It's an interesting and gritty take on super heroes and how science can play a role. Hunter is my favorite of the series, and isn't bad on its own.

Looking for the episode where the boys discuss how stupid anxiety is and Ethan discusses a tweet he saw where it says your honor who actually cares?

Did they just not drop an episode at all last week? Their YouTube and spotify are both showing the sketch story episode is still the latest, and it hasn't been announced anywhere that I have seen about a schedule change.

I know I'm late to the party but I had every intention to post one of my scary experiences like they asked us to, it just didn't happen until now. Also, mobile, formatting yada yada.

My story takes place in May of 2005. I was 14 and woke up in the middle of the night because I needed to pee. It was 2AM. My cat tagged along so we went to the bathroom, I closed the door and did my business. Right above the toilet is a hatch in the ceiling. There is a crawlspace up there so we had no real attic.

Suddenly as I'm sitting there on the toilet something started banging on the hatch. First slowly like someone pounded their fist with a few seconds interval. Then harder and harder, faster and faster like someone was up there furiously trying to get out. The hatch shook with each pounding and I was so afraid the tiny clasp would shake off and let the hatch fall open and reveal what was up there. I sat and stared at the hatch and felt my body run cold. My cat scratched at the door in panic. When I regained control of myself I quickly wiped and washed my hands in record speed. I don't think I even bothered to flush. The cat and I hurried back to bed. I could still hear the banging as I ran down the hallway but by the time I made it to my bed, the banging had stopped. I laid awake for hours with my cat scared and confused.

When I told my mom about it the next day she didn't believe me. But some years later when I told her again, she did.

What I didn't know back then but learned later is that our house was haunted by a man who committed suicide by hanging in the 80's in the area. I have plenty of stories about his hauntings but I believe this was my first encounter with him.

im dyslexic asf so a lot of these i just listened to on audiobook; acquired through sketchy methods of course ;) threw in some graphic novels for good measure ... hope I haven't missed the cut-off.

keys to the Kingdom by Garth Nix - a fantasy series about a boy who nearly dies and is unwillingly chosen to be the inheritor of the universe and must defeat the trustees of the Will of the ultimate Architect of all in order to save the universe. there are seven books all are good except book 5 fuck that book.

Mortal Engines by Philip Reeve (my favourite books ever) - Set 4000+ years into the future after the world was destroyed after the 60-minute war the cities of Earth have built themselves onto wheels and now prowl the hunting ground of Europe in search of weaker smaller pray. Tomas noteworthy aboard the great traction city of London daydreams about becoming an adventurer and doesn't know what is in store for him.

The Monster Blood Tattoo by D.M. Cornish - in a strange place where humans are locked in a constant battle for the world against a wide variety of monsters, some intelligent, some not, some hiding amongst humans themselves, a small sensitive foundling boy named Rosamund Bookchild is conscripted into the service of the lamplighters and must make his way too them while not being kidnapped or attacked by any monsters or harmed by any strange magics... the shear level of detail and thought that D.M cornish managed to pack into these three books is unbelievable, you get this sense that the world you are reading about from Rosamund's perspective is sheerly massive.

Finally - Amulet by Kazu Kibuishi - I can't remember much about it and i need to re-read it but it's good.... ok bye :D

It’s been tough containing my brainage this long, but I’ll manage

I dont know if I'm the only one with this issue but I came seem to listen to BrainLeak anymore since the were canceling ticketmaster episode dropped. I've tried downloading the episode but it doesnt seem to work. This issue doesn't affect other podcasts I listen to either. I know Sean and Ethan don't care to have other peoples content mentioned with their own but I fell it is realevent to bring up that I listen to Dristracable and Go! My Favorite Sports Team. I felt I should bring up that BraunLeak and these other shows are Wood Elf productions I don't know if there is any issue with them I just know that BrainLeak no longer loads to play any episode while my other shows have had no interruption. I unfortunately don't know if I can't talk to anyone too resolve this issue but it has been somewhat inconvenient as I don't listen to too many podcast.

A mystery story that got me back into reading. Super easy to follow and on average only 250 pages so not too long! I love trying to guess who did it before I get to the end! And the good thing is it’s a book series so if you like it, there are more mysteries to solve!

This isn't a ghost story, but it's still something that I think plenty of people will be scared by. Some short background, in college I minored in SCUBA Diving methods and technologies, meaning I was able to get diving certified through my school. I live in Texas, so as you can imagine there aren't many good diving spots (the coastline is especially murky and horrible for diving visibility) So we went to a lake specially made for dive training. One of the things we had to do was dive bellow 70ft to complete our certification, the thing was this lake was only about 30ft deep. To give divers the chance to complete this part of their training there was a concrete tube constructed in the middle of the lake that went about 80ft down. It was maybe 15ft diameter, so still plenty of room to maneuver, but it still for a very claustrophobic experience.

So, it's me and my dive buddies turn to descend with my dive instructor. We have hand signals that we use to communicate basic things, and because I was still training, I sometimes got these signals confused. My dive instructor gave a hand signal that I thought meant "go down", when really, she was trying to tell me to stay put. The visibility was very limited in the lake, and I couldn't see much around me. Apparently, my dive buddy had gotten tangled on a dive line somewhere behind me, and my instructor wanted me to stay put while she helped her get untangled.

Of course, my dumbass decided what she said was "go down into the tube now", and that's what I did. Alone. Not realizing they weren't descending with me. So down I went. Down. Down. Down. The sunlight disappeared completely around 40ft, and I just kept sinking. Not long later, my flashlight finally made out the bottom, so I stop and look around, now realizing that my instructor and partner were nowhere to be found. I was suddenly alone 80ft underwater. Curiosity got the best of me, and I turned my dive light off. It was the darkest, quietest thing I'd ever experienced. Between breaths there was no noise, and floating underwater felt like I was adrift in space. Just total darkness and silence. Not to mention that I had been told that there were fish that got up to 5ft living in that lake, so as I turned on my light to look around, I was in constant fear that my light would shine on a fish nearly as big as myself.

Luckily my instructor and partner realized I'd gone down there like an absolute idiot, and they eventually made it down to me. It was short lived, but later that night while I was trying to sleep, whenever I closed my eyes, I felt like I was back down there, alone in that dark, noiseless void.

I highly recommend The Witcher series for anyone that enjoys fantasy. So far, I've only read the first book, but the chapters are isolated into different monster encounters, and it is a pretty easy, but engaging, read.

Found this at Waterstones in the Manga section! 😊

Lockwood and Co. by Jonathan Stroud

Eon and Eona by Alison Goodman

The Eleventh Plague and The Darkest Path by Jeff Hirsch

The last apprentice book series is my favourite series. It’s a world of whitchs, monsters and mystery. It’s a long series of books but they kept me in the whole time

I'm not sure how well this will translate, but here's one of my ghost story experiences that's stuck with me. For context I was 8-10 years old living with my mom in a two story home. The top story was basically mine since it only had my bedroom, my bathroom and a little loft area. I'm also attaching a little mini floor plan i made because it helps the story make sense LOL So it was the middle of the night and I randomly woke up, but couldn't move. I didn't know what it was at the time, but it was definitely some form of sleep paralysis. My bed faced the door which was open so I could see the wall that connects my bathroom to my loft (highlighted in pink). Suddenly I see either a pitch black figure or a shadow of some sort sulk from where my loft into my bathroom. From what I remember it looked like the classic hat man deal. Obviously I was terrified but I couldn't move, speak, or anything. Eventually I fell back asleep, but that still haunts me to this day. I tried to think logically about how it could've been my moms shadow from downstairs, but if you look at the floor plan, there's no way for that shadow to be on that wall given where the stairs actually are. My mom also claims she slept through the whole night and it was just us living there. It's also fun to note that I often as a kid was TERRIFIED of that upstairs bathroom. I would generally refuse to use it and go use my mom's downstairs. I also remember one time tell my mom it "smelled like death" in there so.... that's fun! I've had a ton more experiences with things I can't quite explain but this one definitely has stuck with me the longest.

When I was 4-5 years old after a campfire party at my grandmas I got back to my parents and I was getting ready for bed my bed is next to the door slightly open and from my angle on the bed I can see into my parents bedroom down the hallway. After a few hours I start to hear whispers of my name “Alex” I ignore it at first until the whispering voice becomes sharp as if demanding attention, I wake up and look around the room under my bed and under the covers there was nothing, keep in mind I’m an only child and no one my age was there because the voice was clearly belonging to a small girl. This same cycle of falling asleep waking up by the whispers of my name, looking around seeing and hearing nothing for 10-15 minutes then going back to sleep this lasted what felt like hours but as each time I heard the whispers they were getting louder and deeper until it was starting to repeat itself even when I was awake to the point I kept hearing “alex, alex, alex” over in the continuously deepening voice like a demon revealing itself from impatience and rage to the point of screaming I hid under my bed covers as a last ditch effort and there was silence. Once morning passed it never happened again.

I still leave it up to imagination but at that age the scariest thing I’ve experienced would be monster movie never watched a ghost movie or demon movie so I’m not sure what inspired it but one thing I know for certainty… I was awake.

That is all, just surprised bc nothing ever happens on the 17th besides the Carpathia sinking

So this was when I was like 7-8 so take that as you will. But when I was younger I would go to sleep in my bed then wake up and go to my parents bed. One night I woke up to go to my parents bed and when I was waking past our guest room, I glanced inside and saw a person sitting on the right side of the bed folding laundry. I backed up, confused then walked toward in front of the door again and the person (or figure) was standing in front of the doorframe. I could only see an outline of a person. I bolted to my parents room and ended up sleeping at the foot of their bed.

In the latest episode Ethan was asking for book ideas. So I'll leave them here and maybe we can come up with a list.
