Ep 9090: Reading is FUNdamental
Today is all about books, but somehow we got into a long conversation about murderers (leave it to Susie to make that happen). We find out what books changed the way we see the world, why we're so book crazy, and what type of things we like to read. But seriously, there is a lot of talk about murderers. Susie tells the story of a murderer she knew growing up. We discuss how the BTK autobiography is TOTALLY FASCINATING. Plus, we talk shit on the Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up and we make book recommendations for all you bookworms out there. Most importantly we interview Tom Krattenmaker author of Confessions of a Secular Jesus Follower. He is amazing and you will love him.Listen to more podcasts like this: https://wavepodcastnetwork.comJoin our Candy Club, shop our merch, sign-up for our free newsletter, & more by visiting The Brain Candy Podcast website: https://www.thebraincandypodcast.comConnect with us on social media:BCP Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/braincandypodcastSusie's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/susiemeisterSarah's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/imsarahriceBCP on X: https://www.x.com/braincandypodSusie on X: https://www.x.com/susie_meisterSarah on X: https://www.x.com/ImSarahRiceSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Ep 8888: Dating & Relationships
Even though we're old married ladies now, we were once swinging singles, and doing a whole lotta mingling. Well, Sarah was. We have horror stories aplenty. Find out why Sarah abandoned her car in the middle of the road, while it was running, and her weird boyfriend was in the passenger seat. Find out why Susie had self-fulfilling prophecy and had performance anxiety with her first kiss. We talk about dating etiquette--should feminists always go "Dutch" (and why do we even call it that)? We learn about Sarah's ridiculous flower demands. Plus, Sarah had an ex-boyfriend who wore a football inside of his shirt. It's weird.

Ep 8787: Coping in Trump's America: A How-To Guide
We still aren't over the election results (we're sore losers, and we know it). So we decided to discuss how we're coping (spoiler alert: it involves shopping, drinking, sulking, and eating). In the middle of our political pontification, we suddenly have a discussion about 80s sitcoms and we even pay tribute to the late great, Alan Thicke by singing the Growing Pains theme song. It's pretty special. We also decided to find out from the experts whether the election really was hacked, whether there's any hope of a Clinton upset thanks to the electoral college, and how the HELL Trump won in the first place. We have questions and we need answers! Dr. Chris Bonneau and Dr. Oliver Bateman are here to help.Listen to more podcasts like this: https://wavepodcastnetwork.comJoin our Candy Club, shop our merch, sign-up for our free newsletter, & more by visiting The Brain Candy Podcast website: https://www.thebraincandypodcast.comConnect with us on social media:BCP Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/braincandypodcastSusie's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/susiemeisterSarah's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/imsarahriceBCP on X: https://www.x.com/braincandypodSusie on X: https://www.x.com/susie_meisterSarah on X: https://www.x.com/ImSarahRiceSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Ep 7171: Donald Trump & Election 2016
Welp. We realized there is no way we can talk about the election in a way that's even close to being fair and even-handed, so we called Susie's mom to talk about her love of Donald Trump.
