Welcome back to This Is My Circus — where parenting is wild, hot tubs are overcrowded, and mermaids might just be real. In this final episode (for now), we’re going out with chaos, conspiracies, cringe, and a little cry. Buckle up — it’s a ride.

✨ Inside This Episode:

• 🛁 Vacation recap: 5 teenage boys + 1 tiny Airbnb hot tub + double-fisting honey buns = chaos we did not plan for
• 🚪 Wrong door + stolen Oreos = peak awkward
• 🦙 Capybara obsessions, otter encounters & a Charlotte-area zoo with a sketchy website that needs a Honey Drop glow-up
• 🐬 Area 51’s on fire (literally), mermaids may be locked in Nevada, and dolphins might be telepathic
• 👀 Public cheating caught at Coldplay and a credit union office. It’s giving main character energy (but not in a good way)
• 🛏️ Creepy bunk bed request for 36 kids leads to a registry check and a police arrest — thank you, Texas furniture guy
• 🎤 And… we’re officially hitting pause on the podcast. (For now!) We love y’all and explain why we’re stepping back.

🎙️ “Am I the A-Hole?”

A wedding guest performs the entire Catholic ceremony (organ, vocals, the whole thing)… then finds out he was never invited as a guest. So he sues the couple — and wins.
Verdict: Everyone’s the a-hole. Including the groom, who said “I’ll talk to her” and never did.

📚 Book Chat: Zodiac Academy: The Awakening by Caroline Peckham

Twin sisters with all four elemental powers are thrown into a magical school full of bullying, betrayal, and elite fae chaos. It's giving Harry Potter meets Vampire Diaries with a splash of Gossip Girl and a whole lot of hot underwear.

⭐️ Rating: 8/10
🌶️ Spice: 2 chili peppers for Book 1, but it definitely heats up in future books
🎧 Audiobook: Distracting sound effects + identical twin POVs = mild confusion
💬 Our verdict: Confusing but addictive. We’re already three books deep.

📖 Next Book Pick (For Those Continuing Along):

All This and More by Peyton Shepherd
A twisty “choose your path” novel about big life decisions and multiple realities. Perfect for fans of Sliding Doors, The Midnight Library, and interactive fiction.

📣 ANNOUNCEMENT: Taking a Break

Between new businesses, football seasons, and our senior-year mom feels, we’re taking a pause from regular podcasting to soak up every second. This isn’t goodbye forever — it’s just a break.

We love you. We’ll miss you. And we might just randomly drop back into your feed.

It’s a mini episode, but we’re still bringing the chaos. This week’s snack-size episode is packed with bizarre headlines, dark history, and weird facts you didn’t ask for — because we know you’d miss us. No books this week, bookies — take a breather and read something wild.

✨ Inside This Mini Episode:

• 🦷 The Toothbrush Murder: California dentist poisons husband via $25,000 gold-plated toothbrush. You read that right.
• 🇪🇨 Real Life Purge in Ecuador: Cartels, military curfews, motorcycle executions — it’s giving Hunger Games meets The Purge.
• 🐜 Weaponized Mosquitos & Exploding Cigars?: CIA Project MK Naomi files exposed. Bio-weapons, anthrax, and rat delivery systems… nothing weird here.
• 🐱 $20 Million Cat Spy Fail: The CIA put microphones in cats. You can guess how that ended.

💡 Mini But Mighty Topics:

• Why gold toothbrushes = murder weapons
• How South America’s cartel violence looks eerily like a dystopian film
• More shady CIA projects you didn’t learn about in history class
• The cost of bad government decisions (spoiler: millions wasted on cats)
• Why Inspector Gadget might be more fact than fiction

❌ No Book Chat This Week

Bookies, enjoy the break! We’re resetting the A-Z challenge next week with “A” — get ready to start fresh.

🛑 Friendly Reminder:

If your neighbors have surveillance and your spouse has life insurance… don’t clean their toothbrushes with potassium chloride.

Run Time: 49 Mins

Theme: 4th Of July recaps, Car Scams, Weird land Marks, CIA Projects, AITA, Book Club Review

Welcome back to This Is My Circus — where suburban parenting meets petty rage, true crime tangents, and a garden full of zucchini no one asked for. This episode is giving chaos, conspiracy, and cult classic vibes.

In this episode, we cover:

• 🍅 Tomato thieves, garden hose justice & why community pantries aren’t always wholesome
• 🚙 Oil change scams, warranty games & dealership drama — car ownership is a scam
• 🧨 Viral Fourth of July TikTok drama that turned a potluck into a public dragging
• 🌱 The great zucchini takeover (and why our gardens are better than yours)
• 🐐 Weird small-town statues, creepy Marilyn Monroe legs, and our ongoing Hendersonville confusion

🔍 True Crime + Government Files You Didn’t Ask For:

• MK Ultra’s 149 subprojects revealed — and it only gets weirder
• Project MK Often: CIA-funded black magic, psychic warfare, and voodoo priest experiments
• Final Diddy Trial Update: Found guilty on two charges, facing up to 28 years in prison
• Real-life spiritual warfare? We’re not okay.

🎙️ “Am I the A-Hole?”

A gardener hoses down trespassers stealing tomatoes from his yard after a neighbor sets up a community pantry.
Verdict: Not the A-hole. We stand with petty horticulture warfare.

📚 Book Chat: You by Charles Benoit

Told in second-person narration, this dark YA tale about teen Kyle’s downward spiral didn’t land for us. Harsh parents, bad influences, and a twist that fizzled. We wanted more redemption, less monotone.

⭐️ Rating: 3/10
💬 “Zach was a manipulative psychopath, the parents were trash, and the ending? Meh.”
