The Brain Candy Podcast

Today we hear why Sarah is glowing thanks to her new routine. Susie does a spoiler-free discussion of You Can See Everything. We learn about a woman who jumped off a cruise ship, and her explanation is hilarious, but Sarah adds some fan fiction to her story. Susie talks about the double slit experiment and Sarah explains why it sent her into a whole quantum physics rabbit hole to figure out "what is real." We debate the Victoria's Secret model who was an angel in the fashion show six weeks postpartum, and the various reactions people had about it. We discuss aging musical artists who are touring well into their 80s and 90s, and whether it's cringey or inspiring.00:00 - Sarah Shares Her New Running Routine and 'Runner's Glow'12:26 - The 'You Can See Everything' Documentary and Exploitation15:37 - Woman Jumps Off Cruise Ship and Other Tragic Accidents29:18 - Exploring the Double Slit Experiment and Quantum Reality36:15 - Victoria's Secret Model Six Weeks Postpartum and Unrealistic Expectations50:30 - Debating Aging Musical Artists: Cringey or Inspiring?01:00:07 - Supporting the Podcast and Final ThoughtsBrain Candy Podcast Website - https://thebraincandypodcast.com/Brain Candy Podcast Book Recommendations - https://thebraincandypodcast.com/books/Brain Candy Podcast Merchandise - https://thebraincandypodcast.com/candy-store/Brain Candy Podcast Candy Club - https://thebraincandypodcast.com/product/candy-club/Brain Candy Podcast Sponsor Codes - https://thebraincandypodcast.com/support-us/Brain Candy Podcast Social Media & Platforms:Brain Candy Podcast LIVE Interactive Trivia Nights - https://www.youtube.com/@BrainCandyPodcast/streamsBrain Candy Podcast Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/braincandypodcastHost Susie Meister Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/susiemeisterHost Sarah Rice Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/imsarahriceBrain Candy Podcast on X: https://www.x.com/braincandypodBrain Candy Podcast Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/braincandy (JOIN FREE - TONS OF REALITY TV CONTENT)Brain Candy Podcast Sponsors, partnerships, & Products that we love:Visit https://carawayhome.com/braincandypod to take advantage of this limited-time offer for up to 25% off.Let Rocket Money help you reach your financial goals faster.

Sarah explains how men are weaponizing pooping, which is enraging. Apparently they hide in there to avoid being a good husband and dad. Susie has a laughing fit over the (not true) idea that Sarah might've had a hysterectomy because she ate too many red peppers. We find out why doodling actually increases your ability to pay attention. Justice for doodlers! We hear about a man who climbed El Capitan with his 7-year-old to set a new record for youngest climber on the mountain. We hate it. Scientists are making cookies out of plastic now.00:00 - The Embarrassing Reality of Being a Podcaster04:51 - Navigating Laryngitis and ADHD Medication Challenges09:51 - Men Using Bathroom Time to Avoid Family Responsibilities19:01 - Brazilian Steakhouses and Food Sensitivity Discoveries26:27 - Doodling Improves Attention for Neurodivergent Brains37:45 - How Parental Phone Use Affects Children More42:16 - Outrage Over Dad Climbing El Capitan with 7-Year-Old49:16 - Scientists Create Protein-Rich Cookies from Plastic Waste53:30 - An Embarrassing Dog Treat and Pita Chip Mix-Up56:44 - Connect with Us in the Brain Candy ClubBrain Candy Podcast Website - https://thebraincandypodcast.com/Brain Candy Podcast Book Recommendations - https://thebraincandypodcast.com/books/Brain Candy Podcast Merchandise - https://thebraincandypodcast.com/candy-store/Brain Candy Podcast Candy Club - https://thebraincandypodcast.com/product/candy-club/Brain Candy Podcast Sponsor Codes - https://thebraincandypodcast.com/support-us/Brain Candy Podcast Social Media & Platforms:Brain Candy Podcast LIVE Interactive Trivia Nights - https://www.youtube.com/@BrainCandyPodcast/streamsBrain Candy Podcast Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/braincandypodcastHost Susie Meister Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/susiemeisterHost Sarah Rice Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/imsarahriceBrain Candy Podcast on X: https://www.x.com/braincandypodBrain Candy Podcast Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/braincandy (JOIN FREE - TONS OF REALITY TV CONTENT)Brain Candy Podcast Sponsors, partnerships, & Products that we love:Get your new everyday favorites with 20% off your first order at https://thrivecausemetics.com/braincandyTDM-RESERVATION: 1.

Susie is very obsessed with the Kelly Clarkson/animatronic bird ordeal involving a Brooklyn toy store. Whose side are you on? We discuss the doomsday problem that all the rich will face where their veneers are going to need maintenance, but we're in an apocalypse so... We learn about a new study that showed that the rich are more likely to be shitty on the road, lie at work, and literally steal candy from a baby. We discuss the recent airline incident where a pilot tried to hijack the plane, but a man saved the day through skills he learned watching a show about airplane crashes. We discuss the problem of an "intelligence gap" in a relationship, and why it's more complicated than just brains or IQ. Learn the three traits that actually matter!00:00 - Spooky Season, School, and Fred Armisen Live10:17 - Who's Right: Kelly Clarkson or the Toy Store?20:57 - Study Shows Wealthy Are Less Well-Behaved27:45 - Hero Passenger Saves Plane from Machete Attack37:04 - Should Robots Fly Planes and Drive Cars?41:06 - Biting Flight Attendants and Tragic Theme Park Accidents44:55 - Dumped for a Library Card: An Intelligence Gap?53:28 - Where to Find More Brain Candy ContentBrain Candy Podcast Website - https://thebraincandypodcast.com/Brain Candy Podcast Book Recommendations - https://thebraincandypodcast.com/books/Brain Candy Podcast Merchandise - https://thebraincandypodcast.com/candy-store/Brain Candy Podcast Candy Club - https://thebraincandypodcast.com/product/candy-club/Brain Candy Podcast Sponsor Codes - https://thebraincandypodcast.com/support-us/Brain Candy Podcast Social Media & Platforms:Brain Candy Podcast LIVE Interactive Trivia Nights - https://www.youtube.com/@BrainCandyPodcast/streamsBrain Candy Podcast Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/braincandypodcastHost Susie Meister Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/susiemeisterHost Sarah Rice Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/imsarahriceBrain Candy Podcast on X: https://www.x.com/braincandypodBrain Candy Podcast Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/braincandy (JOIN FREE - TONS OF REALITY TV CONTENT)Brain Candy Podcast Sponsors, partnerships, & Products that we love:Get $15 off your first month’s subscription and free shipping when you visit https://nutrafol.com and enter promo code BRAINCANDYTDM-RESERVATION: 1.

Susie thinks people at the gym probably think she's a stripper. Sarah is ambivalent about SpOoOoOky Season. We learn about a robot recycling program where they're thrown into a lake of fire, and it sounds like a real waste of money, but it looks hilar. Sarah shares the story of the first ever all-female town council, how it came to be, and why they were ahead of their time. As an aside, Susie wants to know why men (e.g. fraternities) don't clean their rooms and are fine living in squalor and filth. Susie watched a documentary about the guy who was "swallowed" by a whale and lived to tell the tale, and how it changed her perception of the story behind the silly headline. Sarah describes a testosterone study that examined whether T levels rose during competition, chopping wood, and at rest, and the answer was surprising, but we have follow-up questions.00:00 - Sarah's Ambivalence About Spooky Season03:25 - Susie's Gym Outfit Looks Like a Stripper Shift05:28 - Sarah & Susie's Beth Stelling Friendship09:07 - Robots Jump Into a Lake of Fire16:18 - Unlock Your Healthiest Skin with OneSkin19:00 - Jackson, WY's Pioneering All-Female Town Council23:32 - The Man Swallowed by a Whale Documentary32:29 - Middle Schoolers Take Over NPR Spotify Comments38:50 - Chopping Wood Boosts Testosterone More Than Soccer48:37 - How Testosterone Levels Change with Age55:55 - Support the Podcast & Join the Candy ClubBrain Candy Podcast Website - https://thebraincandypodcast.com/Brain Candy Podcast Book Recommendations - https://thebraincandypodcast.com/books/Brain Candy Podcast Merchandise - https://thebraincandypodcast.com/candy-store/Brain Candy Podcast Candy Club - https://thebraincandypodcast.com/product/candy-club/Brain Candy Podcast Sponsor Codes - https://thebraincandypodcast.com/support-us/Brain Candy Podcast Social Media & Platforms:Brain Candy Podcast LIVE Interactive Trivia Nights - https://www.youtube.com/@BrainCandyPodcast/streamsBrain Candy Podcast Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/braincandypodcastHost Susie Meister Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/susiemeisterHost Sarah Rice Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/imsarahriceBrain Candy Podcast on X: https://www.x.com/braincandypodBrain Candy Podcast Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/braincandy (JOIN FREE - TONS OF REALITY TV CONTENT)Brain Candy Podcast Sponsors, partnerships, & Products that we love:Let Rocket Money help you reach your financial goals faster.

Susie got to hang out with some other Rices, and it was glorious. Sarah started horse school, and she is loving it, but she doesn't think she can ever ride a horse again (!). Susie watched a documentary about a hotel that gives their guests dolls to do, um, very not safe for work things to, and we are debating whether this is harm reduction for men who would otherwise treat women poorly or just enabling men to live in isolation. We debate the virtues of a comedian who went viral for doing impressions of his perimenopausal wife. Plus, we hear about a man who wrote online about his distaste for Norm Macdonald and a bunch of weird men online tortured him and his wife for three years by sending SWAT teams to his house 55 times!00:00 - Sarah's Early Morning Airport Run and Susie's Cold04:44 - Susie's Dinner with Sarah's Family and Horse School Beginnings17:40 - Why Sarah Might Never Ride a Horse Again24:51 - Debating the Harm Reduction of the Sex Doll Hotel41:36 - A Comedian's Nightmare: 55 Swatting Incidents48:44 - Viral Comedian's Wife Impressions and a Doobie Brothers Reunion01:02:12 - Final Thoughts and How to Support the PodcastBrain Candy Podcast Website - https://thebraincandypodcast.com/Brain Candy Podcast Book Recommendations - https://thebraincandypodcast.com/books/Brain Candy Podcast Merchandise - https://thebraincandypodcast.com/candy-store/Brain Candy Podcast Candy Club - https://thebraincandypodcast.com/product/candy-club/Brain Candy Podcast Sponsor Codes - https://thebraincandypodcast.com/support-us/Brain Candy Podcast Social Media & Platforms:Brain Candy Podcast LIVE Interactive Trivia Nights - https://www.youtube.com/@BrainCandyPodcast/streamsBrain Candy Podcast Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/braincandypodcastHost Susie Meister Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/susiemeisterHost Sarah Rice Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/imsarahriceBrain Candy Podcast on X: https://www.x.com/braincandypodBrain Candy Podcast Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/braincandy (JOIN FREE - TONS OF REALITY TV CONTENT)Brain Candy Podcast Sponsors, partnerships, & Products that we love:Get 40% off your first order PLUS get a free item in every box for life when you go to https://www.hungryroot.com/braincandy and use code braincandyGo to https://cozyearth.com and use code BRAINCANDY for up to 20% off home and sleepwear. TDM-RESERVATION: 1.
