Brain Smarts Episode Alert: Lion Blood Pressure, Clean Water, and a Vet Student Who Just Might Beat the Game

This week on Vet Candy’s Brainsmarts, the veterinary comedy game show you didn’t know you needed, hosts Caitlin and Clay Palmer dialed up the laughs—and the chaos—welcoming Jeremiah Pouncy, a fourth-year vet student from Cornell whose CV reads like an action-adventure movie. From the African savannah to underserved communities, this guy has done it all.

Brainsmarts isn’t your average veterinary podcast. It’s rapid-fire trivia, quirky challenges, and surprise twists—all served with a side of pure comedy. And Jeremiah? He brought stories that made us drop our jaws: checking lion blood pressure, contributing to wildlife conservation, and even helping provide clean water where it’s desperately needed.

But don’t let the jokes fool you—there’s real heart here. Between rounds of ridiculous questions and unexpected challenges, Jeremiah’s dedication shines through, showing why veterinarians do what they do: protecting animals, improving public health, and inspiring the next generation of animal lovers.

Think you can handle this level of brain + bravery? Tune in and watch Jeremiah take on Brainsmarts—and maybe even beat the hosts at their own game. Spoiler: you’ll laugh, you’ll learn, and you’ll say, “Wait… he actually did that?” more than once.
