The Brain Candy Podcast

Susie is trying to call a truce with the airlines. We'll give a little, they'll give a little. Sarah discussed a recent plant theft she participated in and the karmic repercussions she incurred as a result, but Susie is more intrigued by a pattern of plant burglaries Sarah has conducted over the years. Turns out, Sarah is in an actual plant gang. It's hilarious. Susie finally convinced Sarah to join Arnold's Pump Club, and her reaction was shocking. Susie talks about an article on the author of The Body Keeps the Score, and why he's a hero and a villain (and so are the rest of us). We mourn the death of Paul Reubens and Sarah shares what PeeWee meant to her. We discuss the release of one of Charles Manson's "Family" members from prison and debate whether their sentences were fair. We analyze the decision of one man to spend $14,000 on a realistic Collie costume and Sarah explains why someone's childhood might be the driving force to such a strange choice. Plus, we can't stop laughing about the Chinese zoo that was accused of having humans dress up as bears, and we truly can't decide whether we think they are animals or humans in costume.Listen to more podcasts like this: https://wavepodcastnetwork.comRead this week's Newsletter: https://mailchi.mp/thebraincandypodcast/is-this-a-real-bear-or-a-person-in-a-costumeJoin our book 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 Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/braincandypodSusie's Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/susie_meisterSarah's Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/ImSarahRiceSponsors:Get 20% off when you go to https://www.liquid-iv.com and use code: CANDY at checkout!Open a Chime Checking account with at least a $200 qualifying direct deposit to get started at https://www.chime.com/braincandyGet an exclusive 20% off your first order when you visit https://thrivecausemetics.com/braincandyGo to https://nutrafol.com and enter the promo code: BRAINCANDY to save $15 off your first month’s subscription!See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Sarah has a new persona, and she is a Southern Belle. She. Can't. Stop. Bless her heart. Susie found out an Old Gossip celebrity lives five minutes from her house, and she needs tips for how to have a meet cute. Sarah shares scholarship on what power does to the brain, and it is horrifying. Apparently, all it takes is the smallest amount of power and you're basically suffering from a traumatic brain injury, what! Sarah has an equivalent to Susie's love for Arnold Schwarzenegger, and Susie has a theory about him. Sarah had an allergic reaction to her plants, but Susie has finally decided to bite the bullet and get a mammogram, so it's not all bad news around here. We learn what her big Shark Tank plan is for a million dollar idea, and we debate whether bleaching creams are the same as tanning. Sarah talks about a new company that claims it can decode your dreams, and we're kinda convinced.Listen to more podcasts like this: https://wavepodcastnetwork.comRead this week's Newsletter: https://mailchi.mp/thebraincandypodcast/how-power-affects-the-brainJoin our book 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 Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/braincandypodSusie's Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/susie_meisterSarah's Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/ImSarahRiceSponsors:Get 10% off your next purchase at https://www.carawayhome.com/braincandy or use code: BRAINCANDY at checkout!Head to https://www.smalls.com/braincandy and use promo code: BRAINCANDY at checkout for 50% off your first order PLUS free shipping!Head to https://embracepetinsurance.com/braincandy and sign up for pet insurance today!Get 15% off your first order when you use promo code: CANDY at https://www.bollandbranch.comSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Sarah went to a bridal shower and it was like a Crocodile Dundee experience where there were fancy finger sandwiches and tea and she was still trying to throw down in the shower game. Susie is still immersed in sports, and this time it's NBA legend (and alleged womanizer) Wilt Chamberlain. We discuss why his reputation in the bedroom is more well-known than his basketball talent. Susie talked about a financial whistleblower who turned over billions to the government and had to go to jail anyway (but we think his $104M payout probably softened the blow). We learn why old people actually are buttholes, and the reasons we become cranky in old age. We had a good laugh about our theories about Benihana hibachi chefs and whether we could do that job. We think it's a lot of smoke and mirrors (and shrimp tails) and not a lot of chef skills. Sarah also wants Susie to drop by Panda Express and pick up their latest menu item, and she said ok, so standby for that Sooz Reviews Food Edition. We discuss the Rat Pack and why Dean Martin was a real standup guy. Plus, we revel in Barbie mania and how awesome it is that a "female" movie is such a hit.Listen to more podcasts like this: https://wavepodcastnetwork.comRead this week's Newsletter: https://mailchi.mp/thebraincandypodcast/how-power-affects-the-brainJoin our book 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 Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/braincandypodSusie's Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/susie_meisterSarah's Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/ImSarahRiceSponsors:Go to https://www.greenchef.com/braincandy50 and use code: braincandy50 to get 50% off plus free shipping!Get an extended 30 day free trial when you go to https://www.dipseastories.com/braincandyVisit https://ritual.com/braincandy to start Ritual or add Essential Protein to your subscription today!Modern Fertility is offering our listeners $20 off the test when you go to https://modernfertility.com/braincandySee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Today we get a full Croatia Catchup from Sarah Louise, and it's a hilarious journey. We hear why people flock to the country due to their Game of Thrones passion. Sarah naturally had a run-in with an AirBnb host who basically shamed Sarah for asking a question. Susie says Sarah deserves a gold medal in packing and we hear how she managed to pack two weeks worth of clothes AND FOUR PAIRS of shoes in her carryon bags. Sarah has decided she is now a fan influencer, and if you see anyone ANYONE in Denver using a handheld fan it is because Sarah influenced them and not any other reason. We discuss some strange European fashion trends that Sarah wants to embrace despite being what Susie claims is the uniform of a bad cult. We learned some things about mosquitoes that are whatever the opposite of a fun fact is, and Susie would like to eradicate them off the face of the Earth consequences be damned. Finally, we discuss the Long Island Serial Killer (LISK) who lived a double life for decades.Listen to more podcasts like this: https://wavepodcastnetwork.comRead this week's Newsletter: https://mailchi.mp/thebraincandypodcast/bwa1i0joutJoin our book 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 Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/braincandypodSusie's Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/susie_meisterSarah's Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/ImSarahRiceSponsors:Get 5 free AG1 Travel Packs and a FREE 1 year supply of Vitamin D with your first purchase at https://drinkag1.com/braincandyGet 20% OFF @honeylove by going to https://www.honeylove.com/braincandy! #honeylovepodGet 30% off your entire order at https://www.mykitsch.com/braincandyGet $30 off the first box - PLUS free Croissants in every box - when you go to https://wildgrain.com/kya to start your subscription!See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Sarah is home from her Croatian vacation, and she's back in the Brain Candy saddle. We talk about how her summer is shaping up much better than Susie's, and we're wondering if her "year of adventure" is cursed. We hear her latest sports doc commentary on competitive eating, and why her sister couldn't keep watching it, but it made Susie emotional. We debate whether Vanna White deserved a pay increase in the last two decades, and why she apparently has the world's worst agent. We talk about The Dress that went viral years ago for dividing the world about what color it was: blue and black or white and gold. We find out some interesting research that determined the types of people who thought it was dark vs. light, and why their lifestyle informed how they saw it. Plus, we are aghast at the wild twist the Dress took recently with the groom turning out to be a complete psycho. We also hear some Old Gossip about Bruce Lee that we did not see coming. Plus, Susie interviewed Rainn Wilson about his wonderful book, Soul Boom: Why We Need a Spiritual Revolution, and why spirituality is so important for The Office actor and the rest of us too! (Note: This interview was conducted before the SAG AFTRA strike.)Listen to more podcasts like this: https://wavepodcastnetwork.comRead this week's Newsletter: https://mailchi.mp/thebraincandypodcast/24o3vht5paJoin our book 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 Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/braincandypodSusie's Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/susie_meisterSarah's Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/ImSarahRiceSponsors:Get 20% off during your first month at https://ritual.com/braincandyTreat yourself to the best shapewear on the market and save 20% off at https://www.honeylove.com/braincandySee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Sarah explains why she's nervous about her vacation, and the reasons this year's trip might turn things around. We are furious about the complete moron who carved his and his girlfriend's name on the coliseum, and Susie thinks his punishment is too harsh and not harsh enough at the same time. We learn about an airport moving walkway that caused a serious injury and a roller coaster that is literally falling apart, and we speculate about why these technical issues are more common than they should be. We hear about a man whose racism was cured through the use of drugs, and we are thrilled about the possibilities of hallucinogens for "changing our minds."Listen to more podcasts like this: https://wavepodcastnetwork.comRead this week's Newsletter: https://mailchi.mp/thebraincandypodcast/24o3vht5paJoin our book 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 Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/braincandypodSusie's Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/susie_meisterSarah's Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/ImSarahRiceSponsors:Cancel unwanted subscriptions – and manage your expenses the easy way – by going to https://rocketmoney.com/braincandyGet an exclusive 20% off your first order when you visit https://thrivecausemetics.com/braincandyGet 15% off your first pair when you go to https://paireyewear.com/braincandyGo to https://nutrafol.com and enter the promo code: BRAINCANDY to save $15 off your first month’s subscription!See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Susie is on a serious bender with sports documentaries, which is pretty surprising since she thinks sports should be banned. She's fine with steroids, just not sports. Ok. We discuss the punishment Olympics track and field phenom Marion Jones received for cheating in the Olympics, and why Susie thinks the punishment didn't fit the crime. We compare it to the story of Lance Armstrong, and the reasons he feels somewhat justified for his decision to dope. We talk about the ways it's often the cover-up not the crime that causes the real problems. And we hear how the situation with the American Gladiators sounds very similar to our life experiences on the Challenge including pay, injuries, the lack of agency, and the long-term consequences. We hear what histrionic personality disorder is, and why a popular teen movie is the best way to understand the mysterious illness. We learn why synesthesia is different depending on your age. Plus, we learn why the person who popularized the Wizard of Oz viewing while listening to Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon and smoking pot sort of wishes he'd kept the trick to himself.Listen to more podcasts like this: https://wavepodcastnetwork.comRead this week's Newsletter: https://mailchi.mp/thebraincandypodcast/f4oboq4cbsJoin our book 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 Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/braincandypodSusie's Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/susie_meisterSarah's Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/ImSarahRiceSponsors:Head to https://embracepetinsurance.com/braincandy and sign up for pet insurance today!Control Body Odor ANYWHERE with @lumedeodorant and get $5 off off your Starter Pack (that’s over 40% off) with promo code: BRAINCANDY5 at https://lumedeodorant.com/offer/BRAINCANDY5! #lumepodGet $20 off the test when you go to https://modernfertility.com/braincandyVisit https://ritual.com/braincandy to start Ritual or add Essential Protein to your subscription today!See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

We consider the possibility of a Sarah proposal and whether she would ever get down on one knee. We hear about a woman who had a gift registry for her doctoral graduation, and Susie is weirdly mad about it. But Sarah thinks it's a cool way to celebrate something other than marriage and kids. We talk about paper weights and antiquated office supplies, and learn they actually make paper weights that aren't useless. We discuss the Harvard morgue manager who was selling body parts, and we realize the media didn't accurately portray him. We learn the origins of pink lemonade, or do we? Apparently, pink lemonade is a confusing and possibly racist drink. Or it's just gross. Or both. We celebrate wieners (not that kind) and talk about how terrible horse racing is. Oh, and we're pretty sure Susie just talked Sarah into starting an OnlyFans.Listen to more podcasts like this: https://wavepodcastnetwork.comRead this week's Newsletter: https://mailchi.mp/thebraincandypodcast/f4oboq4cbsJoin our book 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 Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/braincandypodSusie's Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/susie_meisterSarah's Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/ImSarahRiceSponsors:Sign up for Chime today, and make this summer the best one yet - for yourself and your wallet at https://www.chime.com/braincandyGet an extended 30 day free trial when you go to https://www.dipseastories.com/braincandyGet 20% off when you go to https://www.liquidiv.com and use code: CANDY at checkout!Head to https://www.smalls.com/BRAINCANDY and use promo code: BRAINCANDY at checkout for 50% off your first order PLUS free shipping!See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

We wonder how future is doing in Croatia, and we hear what Sarah has to say to her future self. We discuss the American Gladiator documentary and all the wild ways it is EXACTLY like the Challenge. Hear why the creators of American Gladiators share the same drama and documentary dichotomy as the Challenge, and why the injuries of the participants are seen as just collateral damage for the "honor" of being on the show. We lament the ways our present self always screws our future self and how humans aren't as evolved and sophisticated as we like to imagine. We discuss nude bowling and theorize why the women are allowed to wear bottoms and we discuss whether a nude model might have motives for his profession that have nothing to do with kinkiness. We hear the history of sharks before and after Jaws, and hear why the movie had a negative impact on the animal kingdom.Listen to more podcasts like this: https://wavepodcastnetwork.comRead this week's Newsletter: https://mailchi.mp/thebraincandypodcast/the-impact-managers-have-on-their-employees-mental-healthJoin our book 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 Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/braincandypodSusie's Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/susie_meisterSarah's Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/ImSarahRiceSponsors:Go to https://www.reliefband.com and use promo code: CANDY to receive 20% off plus free shipping!Try AG1, and get 5 free AG1 Travel Packsand a FREE 1 year supply of Vitamin D with your first purchase at https://drinkag1.com/BRAINCANDYControl Body Odor ANYWHERE with @lumedeodorant and get $5 off off your Starter Pack (that’s over 40% off) with promo code: BRAINCANDY5 at https://lumedeodorant.com/offer/braincandy5! #lumepodSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Sarah thinks they should change the phrase "it's just like riding a bike" to mean that something is very hard, doesn't come naturally, and causes great pain because mountain biking is brutal! This is why Susie is very passionate about her hobby of not moving. It's much better for bruise control. We lament the immaturity of the "billionaire community" and wonder why these man babies can't put their energy toward things that make the world better instead of ego inflation. Millionaires have discovered Dollar Stores and their minds are blown. Ants are aplenty, and we are thoroughly grossed out. Hear why a governmental employee quit her job after just a few days because she was the target of a deep fake campaign and doxxing--just for telling the truth. We discuss the "psychic" who sued a doctor for $1M for causing her "psychic abilities" to "vanish," and what the court had to say about this lawsuit. Sarah is starting a new category of research that she is calling "duh studies."Listen to more podcasts like this: https://wavepodcastnetwork.comRead this week's Newsletter: https://mailchi.mp/thebraincandypodcast/the-impact-managers-have-on-their-employees-mental-healthJoin our book 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 Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/braincandypodSusie's Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/susie_meisterSarah's Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/ImSarahRiceSponsors:Get $30 off the first box - PLUS free Croissants in every box - when you go to https://wildgrain.com/braincandy to start your subscription!Visit https://ritual.com/braincandy to start Ritual or add Essential Protein to your subscription today!Visit https://www.carawayhome.com/braincandy to get 10% off during their Summer Refresh Event!See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

In episode 727, we discuss some feedback we got from a listener who was none-too-pleased with our belief that drag queens are fun for the whole family, but what got Susie wound up is that the listener was only mad at Susie. She wants to know why people never get mad at Sarah. Let's spread the hate around a little, people. We debate whether we should talk about the submersible and why it's so horrifying. We hear the history of kissing, and learn what animals kiss romantically besides humans. Sarah thinks it all comes down to oral, but Susie thinks it's an evolutionary hack. We get some old gossip about David Letterman and his head writer in the 80s, Merrill Markoe. We learn why she was fired and how it's an industry-wide issue. Hear why men are still outnumbering women even in cartoons and why the Challenge is part of the problem. Plus, we learn why friendship is different in other countries and the government plays a role in the who you consider a "good friend."Listen to more podcasts like this: https://wavepodcastnetwork.comRead this week's Newsletter: https://mailchi.mp/thebraincandypodcast/6q0y0bbjxvJoin our book 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 Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/braincandypodSusie's Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/susie_meisterSarah's Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/ImSarahRiceSponsors:Get 30% off your entire order at https://www.mykitsch.com/braincandyGet 15% off your first order when you use promo code: CANDY at https://www.bollandbranch.comCancel unwanted subscriptions – and manage your expenses theeasy way – by going to https://rocketmoney.com/braincandySee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

In episode 726, we find out the crazy connection between Wordle and one of our favorite documentaries. We question why so many people are buried alive, and suggest putting in some safeguards so we don't have any more zombie funerals. We lose our minds about the fact that neither one of us is listed among the famous alumni of our schools, but some bozo who was on an episode of the Voice and a celebrity's assistant made the cut. Hear some of the worst jobs we've had to take--we're talking recently here--and why we never stop hustling. We learn about "beige flags" and discuss some of our own as well as those of our partners. We realized we're pretty weird, and frankly, we should be glad we found people to live with us. We took a moment to say thank you to books. And we hear why more parents are getting involved in their adult kids' careers, and we are not happy about it.Listen to more podcasts like this: https://wavepodcastnetwork.comRead this week's Newsletter: https://mailchi.mp/thebraincandypodcast/6q0y0bbjxvJoin our book 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 Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/braincandypodSusie's Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/susie_meisterSarah's Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/ImSarahRiceSponsors:Go to https://www.greenchef.com/braincandy50 and use code: braincandy50 to get 50% off plus free shipping!Get an exclusive 20% off your first order when you visit https://thrivecausemetics.com/braincandyThis episode is sponsored by BetterHelp.

In episode 725, we start with a brand new segment we're calling Sooz Reviews where Susie tells us which things to watch or read. Today she's giving her thoughts on a bunch of stand-up specials made by women comics including Sarah Silverman, Amy Schumer, Hannah Gatsby, Wanda Sykes, and Leanne Morgan. She talks about how exciting it is to have more perspectives on the stage instead of the same old jokes. We try to understand people who insist on believing in conspiracy theories about things that are not really up for debate (we're looking at you Flat Earthers) including people who think the Titanic didn't sink or was sunk purposely. We discuss the 1972 Best Documentary film, MarJoe, and how we can't believe we didn't hear about it before. Marjoe was a child preacher who decided to return to revivals just to make money even though he didn't believe his message any more and let a film crew document his methods of swindling people. Plus, we talk about the issues SNL has had over forty years, and the reasons Lorne Michaels hasn't been held accountable for the deaths, alleged assaults, and misconduct among the cast.Listen to more podcasts like this: https://wavepodcastnetwork.comRead this week's Newsletter: https://mailchi.mp/thebraincandypodcast/is-sarah-returning-to-the-challenge-sooz-reviewsJoin our book 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 Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/braincandypodSusie's Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/susie_meisterSarah's Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/ImSarahRiceSponsors:Get 5 free AG1 Travel Packs and a FREE 1 year supply of Vitamin D with your first purchase at https://drinkag1.com/braincandyControl Body Odor ANYWHERE with @lumedeodorant and get $5 off off your Starter Pack (that’s over 40% off) with promo code: BRAINCANDY at https://lumedeodorant.com/braincandy! #lumepodSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Hear why Sarah says she's not going back on the Challenge (but Susie is trying to persuade her to change her mind). We hear about a woman who went viral with an image of Satan at Hobby Lobby and the conservatives got really scared they might have to boycott. UPS finally got air-conditioning for their vans thanks to union efforts, but Susie is hoping they move to better uniforms next. Chinese people are making fun of "white people lunches" because they look like "rabbit food." Sarah is loving it, but Susie is getting defensive about her raw carrots. We celebrate a boy who got hired to work on the SpiderMan movie after his LEGO creation went viral, but Susie would rather talk about a hilarious LEGO rivalry/mystery. We learn about the "glamorous" life of a hand model, but get real sidetracked when we think about other body parts that have models, and Susie finds out that Huey Lewis has a giant wiener (aka The News). We debate whether women have "dick amnesia" and hear why Susie thinks she has dick photographic memory. Plus, we revisit the Duggar discussion, and hear why Susie related to their story.Listen to more podcasts like this: https://wavepodcastnetwork.comRead this week's Newsletter: https://mailchi.mp/thebraincandypodcast/is-sarah-returning-to-the-challenge-sooz-reviewsJoin our book 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 Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/braincandypodSusie's Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/susie_meisterSarah's Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/ImSarahRiceSponsors:Get an extended 30 day free trial when you go to https://www.dipseastories.com/braincandyGo to https://nutrafol.com/ and enter the promo code: BRAINCANDY to save $15 off your first month’s subscription!Head to https://www.smalls.com/braincandy and use promo code: BRAINCANDY at checkout for 50% off your first order PLUS free shipping! See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Today we wonder if we'll ever run out of things to talk about (and then quickly realize we never shut up, so we're probably ok). We celebrate the genius of Swedish pancakes and Sarah confesses to a typo on Brain Candy merch. Susie has decided to join a cult, and her leader is none other than Arnold Schwarzenegger. She explains why he is her newest obsession and his motto is something she is going to embrace because it's wonderful, but also because it's the antidote to self-pity. Susie can't believe what her son had to do in school, but Sarah says she had to do it too, and it's no big whoop. We learn the new name for synchronized swimming and the reason why these amazing athletes pass out underwater. Plus we discuss the legacy of Little Richard, and how he was a trailblazer for the gay community, but never fully accepted himself despite his presentation as a flamboyant and fabulous musical genius.Listen to more podcasts like this: https://wavepodcastnetwork.comRead this week's Newsletter: https://mailchi.mp/thebraincandypodcast/check-out-this-hollywood-memorabilia-auctionJoin our book 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 Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/braincandypodSusie's Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/susie_meisterSarah's Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/ImSarahRiceSponsors:Get a FREE 1-year supply of Vitamin D AND 5 free travel packs with your first purchase at https://athleticgreens.com/braincandyControl Body Odor ANYWHERE with @lumedeodorant and get $5 off off your Starter Pack (that’s over 40% off) with promo code: BRAINCANDY5 at https://lumedeodorant.com/braincandy! #lumepodVisit https://ritual.com/braincandy to start Ritual or add Essential Protein to your subscription today!See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Our lives are so crazy that even Sarah's roof's membrane has been punctured and we don't even know what that means. There has been extreme weather events and she has swarms of birds chasing her, so several of the biblical plagues are already affecting this poor woman. We talk about how dumb people are and airlines are even dumber. We discuss the Hollywood auction that is making us want to save our pennies or start a GoFundMe. We learn why men are fickle about the size of women they date. We celebrate the four children who survived forty days in the jungle, but worry that the worst is still ahead for these amazing siblings. Sarah explains why her dreams have been disappointing lately, and she is trying to become a kid again, at least while she sleeps.Listen to more podcasts like this: https://wavepodcastnetwork.comRead this week's Newsletter: https://mailchi.mp/thebraincandypodcast/check-out-this-hollywood-memorabilia-auctionJoin our book 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 Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/braincandypodSusie's Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/susie_meisterSarah's Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/ImSarahRiceSponsors:Get $30 off the first box - PLUS free Croissants in every box - when you go to https://wildgrain.com/braincandy to start your subscription!Sign up for a Chime Checking Account today to link your paycheck.

Sarah had a drunken weekend, and her arch supports were working overtime on the dance floor. Susie reviews the Duggar documentary series, Shiny Happy People, and we hear why the child predation, religious extremism, and patriarchy are predictable, but the shock came in seeing how the Discovery channel seemed complicit (or at least incompetent/negligent in stopping) the abuse. We learn about a woman who was catatonic for twenty years, and then awoke with memories from her childhood, the ability to talk, and an awareness about her identity. Susie thought a beluga whale was a robot, but found out it was just Flipper with a Go-Pro strapped to its back. She was giving Russian way too much credit. We discuss the Curious Case of Natalia Grace, and why we had originally fallen for the lie that a Ukrainian orphan was a woman instead of a child. Plus, Susie reveals who is responsible for the capture of Anne Frank and why her dad never pursued revenge on the man who caused his family to die in World War II.Listen to more podcasts like this: https://wavepodcastnetwork.comRead this week's Newsletter: https://mailchi.mp/thebraincandypodcast/is-sex-going-to-become-an-official-sportJoin our book 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 Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/braincandypodSusie's Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/susie_meisterSarah's Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/ImSarahRiceSponsors:For a limited time only, get 25% off with the code BRAINCANDY at https://www.trueclassic.comIf you go to https://www.reliefband.com and use promo code: CANDY you’ll receive 20% off plus free shipping!Go to https://www.fastgrowingtrees.com/braincandy NOW to get 15% OFF your entire order!Head to https://www.smalls.com/braincandy and use promo code: BRAINCANDY at checkout for 50% off your first order PLUS free shipping!See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Sarah is leaving her crop top era and entering her roomy sweatshirt era. It's a vibe. We hear a symptom of her aging process that requires the help of Dr. Scholl's. And only Sarah could mess up the cure for what ails her in such a hilarious way. We learn about a strange trend on Amazon that Sarah is convinced is the work of a ring of fetishists who can't get enough of a good product review. We discuss some contenders for this year's Darwin Awards including a man who drank gasoline thinking it was an energy drink. We hear why some think social media and YouTube content encourages indentured servitude and the exploitation of kids. And we debate the Swedish Sex Federation's proposal to make sex an official sport complete with categories of seduction and posing to be judged for proficiency. All of the sudden Susie is pro-sports.Listen to more podcasts like this: https://wavepodcastnetwork.comRead this week's episode: https://mailchi.mp/thebraincandypodcast/is-sex-going-to-become-an-official-sportJoin our book 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 Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/braincandypodSusie's Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/susie_meisterSarah's Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/ImSarahRiceSponsors:Cancel unwanted subscriptions – and manage your expenses theeasy way – by going to https://rocketmoney.com/braincandyGrab your Liquid I.V. in bulk nationwide at Costco or you can get 20% off when you go to https://www.liquid-iv.com and use code: CANDY at checkout!Get an exclusive 20% off your first order when you visit https://thrivecausemetics.com/braincandyVisit https://www.carawayhome.com/braincandy to get 10% off during their Summer Refresh Event!See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Today we hear about the history of moms in advertisements, and the ways companies have adjusted their portrayal of and advertisements to moms. We hear what changed and what has stayed the same from the 1950s through the 20th century. We discuss the debate about whether a top sheet is necessary, and Sarah and Susie are on team millennial on this one. Susie describes a wardrobe malfunction she had as a kid that created some of her darkest (not really) moments and it turns out Sarah is still experiencing this nightmare of the haste-makes-waste variety. Susie watched the new Hillsong church documentary, and she explains why it is so effective at challenging the structure of many Christian churches and how the "bad apple" model that undid Pastor Carl Lentz's career was a smokescreen for the actual issues. Plus we hear why casinos are making more money than ever even though they are getting less business.Listen to more podcasts like this: https://wavepodcastnetwork.comRead this week's Newsletter: https://mailchi.mp/thebraincandypodcast/what-should-they-do-with-hitlers-houseJoin our book 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 Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/braincandypodSusie's Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/susie_meisterSarah's Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/ImSarahRiceSponsors:This episode is sponsored by BetterHelp.

Susie teased Sarah about her compulsion to comment on the number of every single episode, which reminded us about the importance of accountability, and how people who live alone too long getting a little...weird. Sarah talks about the tech mogul who is trying to extend his life (or be immortal?) by injecting his son's blood, but we think he's basically inviting the universe to smite him dead. We learn about a woman who smuggled dozens of snake in her carry-on luggage, and many of these NOT SMALL snakes got loose on the plane. Susie thinks she deserves the death penalty, but her punishment was way less than that. We hear why people are mad at the police for their helicopters and Susie describes the time she was chased by a police helicopter. We hear about a lawyer who needs to learn the reasons why you can't fact check ChatGPT with ChapGPT. Plus, we learn about a flight on which everyone died even though the plane didn't crash.Listen to more podcasts like this: https://wavepodcastnetwork.comRead this week's Newsletter: https://mailchi.mp/thebraincandypodcast/what-should-they-do-with-hitlers-houseJoin our book 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 Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/braincandypodSusie's Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/susie_meisterSarah's Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/ImSarahRiceSponsors:Go to https://www.greenchef.com/braincandy60 and use code braincandy60 to get 60% off plus free shipping.Get an extended 30 day free trial when you go to https://www.dipseastories.com/braincandyGet 20% OFF @honeylove by going to https://www.honeylove.com/braincandy! #honeylovepodGo to https://nutrafol.com and enter the promo code: BRAINCANDY to save $15 off your first month’s subscription!See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Susie is worked about the Anna Nicole Smith documentary, and the lies she told throughout her life to make money, the price she and her family paid for her lies, and why reality tv wasn't her biggest problem. We hear some old gossip about why Eddie Murphy called out David Letterman for racism, and the way interviewers treat Black celebrities. We hear the history of the home pregnancy test, and how women used to be stigmatized if they even wanted to know whether or not they were pregnant, they waited months for confirmation, and were forced to wear gigantic tents instead of normal human clothes during their pregnancies. We discuss people who "lurk" online (i.e. consume everyone else's content, but don't contribute much of their own), and why it drives Susie crazy. We fact check an article that claimed priests would be forced to wear QR codes that say whether they're predators or not. Plus, we find out what the record is for the person who has birthed the most babies in history, and we think it's a lie.Listen to more podcasts like this: https://wavepodcastnetwork.comRead this week's Newsletter: https://mailchi.mp/thebraincandypodcast/efwmmamq8hJoin our book 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 Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/braincandypodSusie's Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/susie_meisterSarah's Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/ImSarahRiceSponsors:Get 25% OFF @trueclassic with promo code BRAINCANDY at trueclassictees.com/BRAINCANDY! #trueclassicpodGet 30% off your entire order at https://www.mykitsch.com/braincandyControl Body Odor ANYWHERE with @lumedeodorant and get $5 off off your Starter Pack (that’s over 40% off) with promo code BRAINCANDY at https://lumedeodorant.com/braincandy! #lumepod! #lumepodSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Sarah was a celebrity judge for a wing contest, and Susie thinks they picked the wrong winner. But she's probably just on edge because her favorite restaurant burnt down recently! We discuss why the chicken community has a lot of scandals and you don't always get what you order. Sarah learned about a crazy sport that has inmates competing for small sums of money, and we debate whether this is an ethical practice and who is getting rich off of people who are incarcerated. We hear about a pod (or should we say gang?) of orca whales who have banded together to seek revenge against a group of ships, and Susie is rooting for the humans while Sarah is team orca. We also learn about a poll where people said which animals they could beat in a fight, and we are shocked at the confidence (and/or strength??) of a lot of people who seem to think they could be victorious against lions, king cobras, and bears. Come on now. We got an update on Sarah's upcoming "marathon" (aka Sarahthon), and why she thinks her optimism about her abilities might have bit her in the butt this time around. Plus, we learn what a "lifetime supply" of various products actually is, and it's ridiculous.Listen to more podcasts like this: https://wavepodcastnetwork.comRead this week's Newsletter: https://mailchi.mp/thebraincandypodcast/efwmmamq8hJoin our book 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 Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/braincandypodSusie's Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/susie_meisterSarah's Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/ImSarahRiceGet $30 off the first box - PLUS free Croissants in every box - when you go to https://wildgrain.com/braincandy to start your subscription!Get $20 off your first purchase at https://rothys.com/braincandyGet a FREE 1-year supply of Vitamin D AND 5 free travel packs with your first purchase at https://athleticgreens.com/braincandySee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Susie starts telling a story about how she and Adam got into a fight over their estate planning and living wills, but she is suddenly interrupted in a stranger-than-fiction actual emergency while we're recording. When we reconvene, we hear what happened, and discuss the strange coincidence of the timing. It's wild. She talks about her new interest in chess, and tries to understand why chess might attract a certain kind of person, like Bobby Fischer, whose genius offers incredible skill at the game, but ends up causing their demise. And we discuss a scandal in the chess world involving b-holes, but Susie thinks it's more related to the type of person who is obsessed with chess. And we learn about the woman with the highest IQ, the reason why she isn't more famous, and why she was treated so predicably bad by interviewers over the years. We hear about a possible serial killer stalking the streets of Chicago and how one TikToker thinks he is going to solve the mystery with his "investigation." Hear why YouTubers keep doing cringey and dangerous things, and it's making us nuts. Susie shares why a lot of Asian-American women are named Connie, and how representation is so important. Plus, we debate who sold out more: Maury Povich or Judge Judy.Listen to more podcasts like this: https://wavepodcastnetwork.comRead this week's Newsletter: https://mailchi.mp/thebraincandypodcast/the-woman-with-the-highest-iqJoin 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 Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/braincandypodSusie's Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/susie_meisterSarah's Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/ImSarahRiceSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Sarah went to a concert where the "music" was so experimental, she wasn't even sure when to clap or how to dance to it. Susie has a sneaking suspicion white men are behind this "musical" innovation, and someone should tell these fellas to stick to the classics. Sarah's been thinking about the cow tongue mystery we covered recently and she found some other mysteries that might also fall into the alien invasion theory. Apparently infrasounds were recorded in space that do not have a clear origin, but Susie is more interested in hearing how someone managed to make a balloon the size of a basketball court. There were also tremors detected in Denmark that did not come from an earthquake and experts have no idea what caused it. We would like to know who is calling the geological association to report these tremors instead of going to Twitter like a normal person. We discuss the mystery of hundreds of pounds of pasta dumped in the woods, and Susie thinks the case has definitely been solved, but Sarah needs some convincing.Listen to more podcasts like this: https://wavepodcastnetwork.comRead this week's Newsletter: https://mailchi.mp/thebraincandypodcast/the-woman-with-the-highest-iqJoin 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 Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/braincandypodSusie's Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/susie_meisterSarah's Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/ImSarahRiceSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Today we hear about a Jewish family who had a daughter that did not look like them. In fact, she looked Black. And it turned out her mom had an affiar with a Black man, but just never mentioned it to her husband, the daguther (who thought her familial dad was her biological dad until she was in college even though she was dark skinned), or anyone else. It is wild! We discuss how we can convince ourselves to believe things if we are invested in doing so. Susie details a story of a Jeopardy! contestant whose five episode streak in the 80s disappeared from reruns and all streaming and digital archives of the show and she was not invited to Tournament of Champions in the year of her victories, which led to wild speculation about the reason for her omission. Some thought she was just a big old b-word, some thought she was combative with Alex, and others thought she lied about her identity on her application. It turned out the reason was far more hilarious and the perfect story for our show. We cannot quit laughing about this. Sarah deemed this segment among our greatest of all time. We hear why Susie's sister has become one of the faces of AI. And we discuss the man who became known as Patient Zero for AIDS in America, why that designation was inaccurate, why he made some mistakes after being infected, and how his willingness to cooperate with doctors probably saved many lives. It's a story of how we can be a hero and still be flawed and fallible. Listen to more podcasts like this: https://wavepodcastnetwork.comRead this week's Newsletter: https://mailchi.mp/thebraincandypodcast/our-favorite-brain-candy-story-of-all-timeJoin 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 Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/braincandypodSusie's Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/susie_meisterSarah's Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/ImSarahRiceSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Sarah is $400 richer thanks to a tip from Susie, and you might have money waiting for you too! Sarah watched a series on Amazon that is a must-see, and had her in stitches, but also raised some ideas about our gullibility, the legal system, and reality tv. She also watched a film that was marketed as a documentary, and only after she had started the SEQUEL did she realize it was a completely scripted movie. She wants her money back, Bezos! We discuss a trend called "Bare Minimum Mondays" where people ease into the work week to help with burnout, and Susie is rolling her eyes about it. Sarah thinks she would prefer a Foot Off the Gas Fridays instead, but Susie wants people to realize 1) we all do have to work whether we like it or not, 2) a gimmicky life hack isn't the solution to the systemic issues that cause our burnout and malaise. We debate whether a kid who drew on a museum piece in crayon was a hooligan, has bad parents, or was doing exactly what any kid would do if the museum handed him a crayon in an art gallery...or all of the above. Plus, Sarah provides Goodwill tips and a cleaning hack that is saving the day in her closet.Listen to more podcasts like this: https://wavepodcastnetwork.comRead this week's Newsletter: https://mailchi.mp/thebraincandypodcast/our-favorite-brain-candy-story-of-all-timeJoin 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 Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/braincandypodSusie's Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/susie_meisterSarah's Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/ImSarahRiceSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

We hear what Sarah learned from the grieving process after losing her dog. Susie shares why it's so hard to teach someone not to procrastinate. We discuss the amazing fortitude and tenacity of Michael J. Fox, and what he says is the secret to staying optimistic despite difficult circumstances. Susie is convinced that aliens are killing cows and taking out their tongues, and Sarah explains why it makes perfect sense for aliens to take tongues and b-holes. We learn about a woman in Australia who was convicted of murdering several of her children over a decade, but now she might be freed due to new evidence. But we are absolutely stumped about whether she did it or not. Susie explains why the limousine industry has changed dramatically over the last twenty years from the car of choice of the rich and famous to being a prom and wedding mobile for the middle class. And we discuss a review we received that was critical of Susie, and she explains why the reviewer should take heart about Susie's personality.Listen to more podcasts like this: https://wavepodcastnetwork.comRead this week's Newsletter: https://mailchi.mp/thebraincandypodcast/can-you-describe-a-feeling-you-never-feltJoin 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 Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/braincandypodSusie's Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/susie_meisterSarah's Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/ImSarahRiceSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Today we find out why Sarah regrets signing up for a marathon and Susie is saying I told you so, but she's also suggesting Sarah hop in a car and cheat in the race. Sarah thinks Weird Al is the sweet and square version of Howard Stern, but it turns out he's the gentile Howard Stern. Susie tells us about the time she met Weird Al and shares a sad story about his life. Sarah talks about an extremely rare condition where the person cannot feel anything at all--pleasure, pain, or pressure. We learn how a woman who has this condition has struggled to understand lots of phrases because of how frequently language relies on metaphors that refer to touch and feeling. We get an update about the principal who was fired for letting students look at the Michelangelo David statue, and how she's making lemonade out of the lemons. We hear about a test that can determine whether a child has been sexualized too early.Listen to more podcasts like this: https://wavepodcastnetwork.comRead this week's Newsletter: https://mailchi.mp/thebraincandypodcast/can-you-describe-a-feeling-you-never-feltJoin 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 Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/braincandypodSusie's Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/susie_meisterSarah's Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/ImSarahRiceSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Happy Cinco de Mayo, Americans! Hope you enjoy some tacos and margs. Sarah tells a story about how Eli denied her alcohol, and Susie truly feels bad for him for making this "rookie mistake." We discuss the amazing Judy Blume documentary, and how she championed free speech and openness about our bodies way before her time. We learn about a woman who cheated in an ultramarathon, and claimed it was just a "misunderstanding." The woman rode in a car for part of the race! Oopsie daisy! We discuss the Paralympics Tiktok and why it rubs some people the wrong way, but it's right up our alley! Susie talks about the man behind the SNL cue cards, and why he is a New York City legend.Listen to more podcasts like this: https://wavepodcastnetwork.comRead this week's Newsletter: https://mailchi.mp/thebraincandypodcast/qvh1qm8v8tJoin 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 Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/braincandypodSusie's Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/susie_meisterSarah's Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/ImSarahRiceSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Sarah describes her dog Bo's final day, and why he held on til the very end. We discuss a new show that highlights extreme personalities and fringe lifestyles including one man who spends his days and night prepping for the zombie apocalypse. She explains why simple therapeutic tools helped him make headway on curbing his obsession. But we're less optimistic about a woman who believes she's a time traveler. Susie reminisces about a man she met who claimed he was a time traveler, and why a simple fashion choice made her realize he probably was a fraud. We speculate about the cause of sinkholes and Sarah said she believes there was an underground forest beneath one sinkhole, and we have follow-up questions about that. Plus, we hear what the world's oldest joke is (from 1900 BC!), and why we will never run out of things about which to laugh.Listen to more podcasts like this: https://wavepodcastnetwork.comRead this week's Newsletter: https://mailchi.mp/thebraincandypodcast/qvh1qm8v8tJoin 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 Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/braincandypodSusie's Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/susie_meisterSarah's Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/ImSarahRiceSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

We get a follow-up on Sarah's habit of eating muffin cups and it somehow got even more insane than it already was, but the good news is that there are apparently many people who indulged in baking cup cuisine, so Sarah isn't alone. Susie makes an observation about the show's men watch, and points out how women are willing to watch male hosts, but men are reluctant to watch women. We discuss the Boston bombing documentary and the way photographic evidence and video footage actually made the case more difficult in the beginning of the investigation. We learn why the story was even more shocking than we remember and how moving the documentary was. We hear how the Waco Branch Davidian cult and siege is related to the Boston and Oklahoma City bombings, and why the human brain can get fooled into religious extremism. We hear about a French man who pretended to be an American boy and even fooled the boy's family. And Sarah is hilariously furious about a woman who lived underground for 500 days. Listen to more podcasts like this: https://wavepodcastnetwork.comRead this week's Newsletter: https://mailchi.mp/thebraincandypodcast/2t972z7tmqJoin 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 Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/braincandypodSusie's Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/susie_meisterSarah's Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/ImSarahRiceSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Sarah is in a war with her neighbor, and Susie is strategizing ways to torment him. Sarah thinks they're in a competition for who will open their blinds, but mostly she's mad that he doesn't have a sense of whimsy. This is the most low-states feud in history. Sarah says the personality test to which you subscribe says more about your personality than the results of the personality test itself. It's confusing. Basically, if you love astrology, enneagram, or Meyers-Briggs, it says a lot about who you are. Susie hates all of them equally, and that says that she is just an a-hole. We discuss how famous men rebound easily from their public scandals, but Sarah thought of a woman who seems to have avoided consequences for her crimes. We discuss why the hole in the ozone layer seems to be repaired and why it is probably a fluke. We hear why ice cream is actually healthy and nutritionists have been trying to keep it from you for decades.Listen to more podcasts like this: https://wavepodcastnetwork.comRead this week's Newsletter: https://mailchi.mp/thebraincandypodcast/2t972z7tmqJoin 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 Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/braincandypodSusie's Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/susie_meisterSarah's Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/ImSarahRiceSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Susie goes on an epic rant about people who try to mental health their way out of accountability and the way they use therapy speak to avoid responsibility. She's fuming, people! Sarah explains how a-holes are always going to find ways to be jerks, so this is nothing new. She also shares why comedy commentary is pushing her towards conservatism, and she feels like people need to have more of a sense of humor about human foibles and not be so gee dee sensitive. We debate the Kathy Griffin Trump pic scandal, Roseanne's cancellation, and more. We hear some of the best life hacks, but for once Susie disagrees with Sarah about the best way to cut a cake. We hear from writer and Sasquatch enthusiast Val Brkich about that new footage that has some people convinced of Bigfoot's existence and other people like Sarah even more certain it's all fantasy, and he shocks Susie with some new info about Bigfoot's anatomy. Grab Val's book about Bigfoot and the Civil War!Listen to more podcasts like this: https://wavepodcastnetwork.comRead this week's Newsletter: https://mailchi.mp/thebraincandypodcast/masking-adhd-almond-moms-all-the-greatest-hacksJoin 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 Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/braincandypodSusie's Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/susie_meisterSarah's Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/ImSarahRiceSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Sarah is fueling up for this episode with a party size platter of hoagies, and it is glorious. This isn't the only fun food-related incident today, though. Oh no, we also learn that Sarah loved muffins so much as a child that she ATE THE WRAPPERS as well. She blames this habit on having an "almond mom," and we learn why these moms were common in the 90s. She also laments Eli's abstention from bread and admits she's not cut out for the Keto lifestyle. We hear from two food critics who teaches us how to order from a menu like a pro, and they include some tips we did not see coming. Hear what they have to say about classic foods, the reason soups are overlooked, and why short ribs are for rookies. We strategize the best order in which to eat your food, learn how to talk to servers, and talk crap on people who refuse to share. Plus, we learn why turtles hibernate for several months each year and we are livid about the Dali Lama scandal.Listen to more podcasts like this: https://wavepodcastnetwork.comRead this week's Newsletter: https://mailchi.mp/thebraincandypodcast/masking-adhd-almond-moms-all-the-greatest-hacksJoin 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 Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/braincandypodSusie's Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/susie_meisterSarah's Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/ImSarahRiceSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Sarah found out she is a "true summer," so she can't wear the look of Gwyneth Paltrow at her trial, so now she's getting rid of her clothes and embracing her color glow-up. We hear why "silent luxury" is all the rage and ostentation is out. We discuss the Brooke Shields documentary, Pretty Baby, and how she coped with being a child in an adult's world including provocative roles and nudity at a young age, having an alcoholic mother, and the pressure of Hollywood as a child star. Hear why a woman is in jail for three years because she swore and made a gesture with her arm, and Susie is freaked out. We discuss a popular movie from the 90s that focused on the lead actress's nudity and didn't bat an eye at assault from the (male) main character. Susie shares the history of boys wearing blue and girls wearing pink and how medicine, capitalism, and consumerism drove the trend. Finally, we learn about a man who refused to split the cost of medical bills with his partner for the birth of his child, and we are livid.Listen to more podcasts like this: https://wavepodcastnetwork.comRead this week's Newsletter: https://mailchi.mp/thebraincandypodcast/is-bigfoot-realJoin 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 Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/braincandypodSusie's Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/susie_meisterSarah's Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/ImSarahRiceSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

We discuss Sarah's religious dabbling, and how she's been pretty much every religion on Earth for a minute including once when she had to wear a wig for religion. We hear about the famous Bigfoot video that has been the foundation for Bigfoot lore for decades, and how it has been remastered. Sarah claims the video is proof it's a hoax, while Susie's friend who is a Squatcher (?) says the video confirms their existence. We hear how an impaled bird proved what happened to all the birds in the winter (and for some reason people thought they went to the damn moon for a while). We learn about animals that glow-in-the-dark and why we have no idea why or how that's happening. A helicopter was flown on Mars (but yet the helicopters at those mall kiosks can't fly on Earth for more than a day). Sarah had a VERY momentous occasion in her relationship and Susie thinks it will change everything. We got good news about heart health and longevity, and we celebrate having a party of one late at night while the rest of world sleeps.Listen to more podcasts like this: https://wavepodcastnetwork.comRead this week's Newsletter: https://mailchi.mp/thebraincandypodcast/is-bigfoot-realJoin 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 Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/braincandypodSusie's Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/susie_meisterSarah's Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/ImSarahRiceSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Susie is going to meet one of her comedy heroes, and she needs Sarah's advice on what to wear, what to say, and how to become best friends with him. We learn about a Catholic group who bought user data to track the online activities of priests and monitor whether they're using dating/hook-up apps. We discuss the idea of the "gay lifestyle," and somehow ending up debating Bert and Ernie power dynamics. Susie describes AI-generated images depicting groups throughout history and the reason the photos do not accurately show how they would behave. We also hear why Russians think Americans are idiots and we all smile too damn much. We discuss culture that most people don't realize is rooted in racism, and whether these things should be "cancelled" or if it's just racism clickbait where white people police each other. In the end, now we know more than when we started, and as GI Joe says, "Knowing is half the battle."Listen to more podcasts like this: https://wavepodcastnetwork.comRead this week's Newsletter: https://mailchi.mp/thebraincandypodcast/700-701Join 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 Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/braincandypodSusie's Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/susie_meisterSarah's Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/ImSarahRiceSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

700 episodes! It's pretty remarkable that we're still talking and, more importantly, you're still listening! Thank you!!! Sarah was very eager to share some news in the culinary world that has actual animal meat being produced in labs. So she wants to know if vegans/vegetarians will eat it since no animals were killed in the creation of it. We discuss Levi's decision to have model "diversity" by using robot models instead of, you know, actual human beings. We are furious about the principal who was fired because a teacher showed her students Michelangelo's David statue and some morons thought it was obscene. Sarah talks about some new laws that limit social media for kids and we consider whether this is good or will be effective. Plus, we hear why Botox might be limiting emotions of its users.Listen to more podcasts like this: https://wavepodcastnetwork.comRead this week's Newsletter: https://mailchi.mp/thebraincandypodcast/700-701Join 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 Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/braincandypodSusie's Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/susie_meisterSarah's Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/ImSarahRiceSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Anyone know what happens at cemetaries in New Orleans, because we've heard some things and we're confused and intrigued. Sarah talks about how a piece of the sun broke off and got sucked into a polar vortex, and it's wild. Bad news though, an astroid is headed straight for Earth and we only have twenty years to have Bruce Willis and Ben Affleck solve the problem. Susie saved Sarah and Eli's relationship with a cleaning hack that will prevent future fights. Sarah might become a cat mom and Susie is thrilled. We discuss the gigantic blob of seaweed that is headed for the U.S. and Susie somehow is blaming Walt Disney for it. We hear the science behind why nostalgia is good for you, and how you can take the fast track to the goold old days when you're feeling depressed. And Sarah realized this week she's officially an old lady, and Susie is here for it!Listen to more podcasts like this: https://wavepodcastnetwork.comRead this week's Newsletter: https://mailchi.mp/thebraincandypodcast/698-699Join 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 Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/braincandypodSusie's Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/susie_meisterSarah's Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/ImSarahRiceSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

We're in the comfort business today because we're losing one of our own. Bo Louise Rice is in her final days and her person is very sad! We know you all can relate to how painful it is to lose a dog, so we hope you'll show Sarah some love. We discuss some crazy things that have happened to us recently with Sarah having a good (!) experience with cops at Target and Susie's husband having the cops called on him! We hear why giving the finger is your god-given right officially in Canada, and we've decided to give more things the thumbs down. We hear about a man who found $550,000 cleaning out his car! We learn about a study about penis growers and show-ers and why scientists think it's important to study. Plus, Susie explains why people are digging holes for no reason.Listen to more podcasts like this: https://wavepodcastnetwork.comRead this week's Newsletter: https://mailchi.mp/thebraincandypodcast/698-699Join 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 Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/braincandypodSusie's Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/susie_meisterSarah's Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/ImSarahRiceSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

It's always a good time to have an apology tour (it's kind of our specialty), so we kicked off the episode setting the record straight about our love and affection for our LGBTQIA+ listeners. Susie might've overcorrected because now she thinks everyone should be gay. We debate Hugh Grant's viral red carpet interview with Sarah saying he's a jerk and Susie saying red carpet interviews suck and he probably just wanted a little more substance. Susie talked about the documentary on Jared the former Subway spokesperson who is now in jail. We hear how bears manage to hold their bodily functions for the month's when they're hibernating and it's more disturbing than we were prepared for. There has been a study about the most unsettling noise, and Sarah thinks it's spot on. We learn about the missing Malaysian airliner and why its disappearance is so baffling. Susie gets real judge-y about the cultural obsession with the Vanderpump Rules cheating scandal and wants people to cool their jets about it all.Listen to more podcasts like this: https://wavepodcastnetwork.comRead this week's Newsletter: https://mailchi.mp/thebraincandypodcast/697Join 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 Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/braincandypodSusie's Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/susie_meisterSarah's Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/ImSarahRiceSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Today we learn why Susie is feeling nostalgic about the Challenge and Sarah never got full closure after her season. We hear about an author who Susie suspected of misrepresenting scientific facts, who now was found to be a plagiarist, and she feels vindicated in sniffing out a scammer. We discuss the girls basketball team who was forced to play in a boys tournament, won, and then was denied the trophy because they are...girls. Susie talks about a man who hasn't worn shoes in twenty years, and she is not happy about it at all. We discuss the privilege he is leveraging to do this, and we debate why shoes are even necessary. Susie reveals how Reuters caught one company claiming to recycle shoes while it turns out they were just dumping them off for donations and resale. Plus, Susie reveals some unsavory gossip about Charlie Chaplin that is changing our opinion of the film legend.Listen to more podcasts like this: https://wavepodcastnetwork.comRead this week's Newsletter: https://mailchi.mp/thebraincandypodcast/695-696Join 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 Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/braincandypodSusie's Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/susie_meisterSarah's Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/ImSarahRiceSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

We kick the show off by hearing why Sarah got KICKED OUT of a McDonald's. Think of how bad you'd have to be to be kicked out of a McDonald's. We hear why Susie made an inappropriate joke while pregnant, and Sarah had to take a field sobriety test. We debate whether oral sex, handjobs, and other explicit acts qualify as sex or not. Sarah reveals why the penis has changed in artwork, and we have some theories about why the size changed dramatically in the last 100 years. For some reason we find out what's in saliva and we play a disgusting game of Would You Rather, where no one really wins. We discuss a NASA astronaut who revealed shocking claims about aliens that have some people thinking he's lost his marbles and other people thinking he's the only person telling the truth. We learn why clowns are such a common phobia and we're surprised to learn it's not really due to childhood clown-related trauma.Listen to more podcasts like this: https://wavepodcastnetwork.comRead this week's Newsletter: https://mailchi.mp/thebraincandypodcast/695-696Join 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 Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/braincandypodSusie's Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/susie_meisterSarah's Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/ImSarahRiceSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Susie kicks off the show sharing a story about a friend of hers who is using an app to meet new friends, and how hard it is to make friends as an adult. Sarah talks about the idea of a "best friend" and how this is a new phenomenon that is especially espoused by women, and is sort of ridiculous. We learn about people with extreme introversion and are known as "nocturnals" because they adjusted their schedule to sleep all day and stay awake all night to avoid human interaction. We find out why the cure for hiccups exists, but no one knows about it. Susie discusses the TikTok filter that makes you look like your teenage self and her theory about why Generation X and older are emotional about it. We are mad at Tiger Woods for playing a prank where he gave a male golfer a tampon as an insult. And Susie explains why the Be Real app couldn't keep users interested in authenticity.Listen to more podcasts like this: https://wavepodcastnetwork.comRead this week's Newsletter: https://mailchi.mp/thebraincandypodcast/693-694Join 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 Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/braincandypodSusie's Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/susie_meisterSarah's Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/ImSarahRiceSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Sarah shares her birthday tales, which included drunk snowboarding, fireball shots, and a ski lift near miss. It did not disappoint. She also describes how our listeners inspire her to be a better version of herself, which encouraged Susie who is starting to feel like nice gals finish last. We discuss motivations for success, and why Susie's isn't healthy, but possibly effective. Hear why some people think movies should have more sex scenes, and the myriad reasons they have decreased recently. Susie describes her first experience watching a movie that got her hot and bothered and why Road Rules introduced her to porn. We explain why kissing is more erotic than most full sex scenes, at least for women. Sarah talks about a radioactive capsule that went missing in the Australian outback and why it's even worse than finding a needle in a haystack (which, by the way, would take 18 hours according to science). Plus, we have a drunk science session about bananas, x-rays, soda, and boobs. It's a lot.Listen to more podcasts like this: https://wavepodcastnetwork.comRead this week's Newsletter: https://mailchi.mp/thebraincandypodcast/693-694Join 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 Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/braincandypodSusie's Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/susie_meisterSarah's Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/ImSarahRiceSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

We're kicking March off (or as we like to call it, Fool's Spring) with a story about testicles--yay!!! It turns out men with bigger balls are crappier dads. We debate whether this is a product of low testosterone or some other physical issue or whether it's a societal construct where men with bigger balls just don't think they should or want to be active parents. Either way, we're mad. Susie describes Foreign Accent Syndrome, where after a person has an injury, disease, or traumatic experience they suddently start talking with an accent from a country from which they do not hail. It's one of her favorite maladies, but we find out why it causes more problems than you'd think in terms of relationships. We hear about a reported dead body in a lake that turned out to be a sex doll, and we were having a grand old time until we learned more details about the "body" that are MAJOR red flags. Now we think a crime might actually have occurred after all! Finally, we discuss the decision by the Roald Dahl company to edit his books to remove offensive language.Listen to more podcasts like this: https://wavepodcastnetwork.comRead this week's Newsletter: https://mailchi.mp/thebraincandypodcast/691-692Join 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 Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/braincandypodSusie's Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/susie_meisterSarah's Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/ImSarahRiceSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Today's episode is a doozy! Sarah is feeling a little non-commital about making plans, but we're determined to start thinking ahead and making plans to look forward to. We can't let the pandemic ruin the future anymore. We hear about the Stolen Youth documentary about the Sarah Lawrence mind-control cult, and Sarah is having a completely physical reaction about their mental hell. We learn the purpose of beards, and it turns out they are not for keeping your chinny-chin-chins warm. Sarah discusses a zookeeper in Mexico who is accused of EATING the zoo animals. Plus, we debate which zoo animal we would eat if we were in a pinch.Listen to more podcasts like this: https://wavepodcastnetwork.comRead this week's Newsletter: https://mailchi.mp/thebraincandypodcast/691-692Join 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 Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/braincandypodSusie's Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/susie_meisterSarah's Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/ImSarahRiceSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

We have a rebuttal to a keyboard warrior who took issue with our commentary on Hitler's medical history, which is a sentence we never thought we'd write. Susie explains why discussing shame is critical to understanding human behavior. We learn about a dog who inherited $500M when his owner died, and why things are not at all what they appear to be. The documentary Gunther's Millions tells the story of this dog (and it's heirs), his handler, and the strange way depression, a search for meaning, and tax law all play into the story of this fortune. Susie discusses the Volcano documentary that tells the story of a popular tourist attraction that seemed like controled risk turned into a life or death situation for some unsuspecting people on vacation. We talk about a book about autism that argues for the public perception to shift instead of resorting to "traumatic" behavioral therapy for people on the spectrum. We debate the word "trauma" and how it is being used more frequently now as a synonym for discomfort. We hear about scholars who have finally decoded Mary Queen of Scots's letters sent from prison after her cousin Queen Elizabeth I imprisoned her. Listen to more podcasts like this: https://wavepodcastnetwork.comRead this week's Newsletter: https://mailchi.mp/thebraincandypodcast/689-690Join 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 Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/braincandypodSusie's Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/susie_meisterSarah's Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/ImSarahRiceSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

We discuss how our problems suddenly seem bearable when we consider switching them for someone else's. Sarah describes her Valentine's Day surprise from Eli and why not everyone should be cracking jokes on a microphone like we do. Sarah got a physical and it turns out she's 100% that old lady, and she does not appreciate the insinuation that just because she's old she's not a big old slut. We discuss how our vaginas are still mysterious even though we've had them our whole lives. Hear why Sarah is mad as a hornet about a comic book movie coming out, and why men seem to live without consequences.

Susie breaks down the Pam Anderson documentary (produced and directed by our buddy, Ryan White) and the ways she represents the dynamic between men and women culturally. The documentary looks at Pam as a sex symbol, cultural icon, and reflection of gender dynamics in the West. Sarah shares a shocking story about a Baywatch actor who insulted her at a club many years ago. We hear about a woman who was ordered to stop breastfeeding so her ex-husband could maintain equal custody, and we debate whether the judge did the right thing. Sarah explains how women can wield their motherhood as a way to leverage power. Susie talks about a woman in a wheelchair who wants social media platforms to do more to protect her from people with a "disability fetish," and we discuss why we think she's being unrealistic about life online. We learn about the "millennial pause" and "Gen Z shake" and why different generations behave differently online. Plus, we hear the history of digital Easter eggs and how they make people feel superior.Listen to more podcasts like this: https://wavepodcastnetwork.comRead this week's Newsletter: https://mailchi.mp/thebraincandypodcast/687-688Join 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 Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/braincandypodSusie's Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/susie_meisterSarah's Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/ImSarahRiceSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
