The Brain Candy Podcast

Sarah talks about restaurant owners who are sick of patrons letting their children run amok. Sarah learns about a study that determined a love for chocolate isn't just for humans. Turns out, rats can't get enough either and they scream (literally!) for it! Sarah is prepping for her next career as a shopping consultant to help us become smart shoppers. We learn why Ozempic has changed the food industry and increased spiciness in foods. We theorize why eating ice cream defies logic because for some reason it makes people healthier and live longer.00:00 - Susie's Meme Rampage and Lesbian Chic Video04:30 - Rethinking Men, Wives, and Household Contributions13:02 - Restaurant Rules: Kids, Diapers, and Fines21:10 - Secretly Grafting Fruit Trees in Public Spaces34:32 - Rats Scream for Chocolate, Plus Smart Shopping Tips50:21 - Ozempic's Impact on Food and Ice Cream Longevity58:37 - Grandma's Secret to Longevity: Eat Ice CreamBrain 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 20% off your first order at https://thrivecausemetics.com/BRAINCANDYSign up and get 10% off at https://www.betterhelp.com/braincandyHead to https://airdoctor.com and use promo code CANDY to get UP TO $300 off today!TDM-RESERVATION: 1.

Susie has a shocking new poo story about an athlete who soiled herself in a competition, kept going, won, and then made everyone mad.

Scientists have analyzed decades of school pictures, and found that people smile much wider than they used to, and we want to know why. Cats are trying to talk to us, and researchers are figuring out what they're saying.

Sarah's a horse whisperer, so when she goes riding she gets the naughty boys. We learn why a Utah lake is drying up. Sarah believes school notebook colors correspond with certain subjects, and even though it makes no sense, she's right. A new show, Not a Sound, about a hearing-impaired woman, cast an actress who is hearing, and some people aren't happy about it. Hear our thoughts. Sarah explains why walking amongst trees physically changes your body. We talk about invasive species and how we hate their guts. Susie states the obvious, and explains why she can't hack it in the out of doors. But she sure knows a lot about owls, and if you listen, you will too.00:00 - Episode Introduction and Lou Dog's Antics02:17 - Sarah's Estes Park Horseback Riding Adventure09:20 - Environmental Impact of the Drying Great Salt Lake13:30 - Special Discount from Caraway Home Cookware16:14 - Unanimous Agreement on School Notebook Colors25:57 - Exclusive Deals from Hungryroot and Cozy Earth28:19 - Ellen Pompeo and Hearing-Impaired Casting Debate36:12 - How Trees Physically Change Your Blood Chemistry41:00 - Invasive Species, Outdoor Aversion, and Unknown Knowledge49:08 - Amazing Facts About Owl Auditory Systems54:10 - Scientist Deciphers Zebra Finch Vocalizations59:27 - Teaching Lou Dog to Communicate with Buttons01:04:50 - 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 braincandyVisit https://carawayhome.com/braincandypod to take an additional 10% off your next purchase.TDM-RESERVATION: 1.

Sarah passed her therapy licensing test, and now she feels like a new woman. We discuss what personal life information influencers "owe" their followers, why some people believe the influencers lose their privacy in exchange for online success, and how the two of us navigate our personal lives in the public eye. We hear which achievements in science won Ig Nobel Prizes this year. We talk about a second grade teacher who got sick of her students passing gas in class, so she came up with a strange "solution." Hear our thoughts. Sarah explains what she will do in order to avoid using Port-a-potties, and the insane way one man fell in one. Susie talks about the Wheel of Fortune announcer who was fired after someone allegedly saw him in a predator chatroom on a flight. We find out why some people are claiming meditation can actually be harmful and cause terrible side effects in certain people.00:00 - Celebrating Sarah's Therapy License Achievement07:52 - What Do Influencers Owe Their Followers?24:14 - Unconventional Research Wins Ig Nobel Prizes34:38 - Teacher Creates 'Gas Station' for Students42:49 - The Insane Porta Potty Accident Story48:20 - Shocking Celebrity News and Public Figures55:50 - Exploring the Unexpected Risks of MeditationBrain 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)TDM-RESERVATION: 1.

We're not blowing our whistles anymore, but if we were we would do it about thong underwear. Susie used to swear up and down that they were her preferred cut, but now she says that wasn't true. And she has a way to find out whether you think they're the most comfortable underwear as well. We discuss the problem with American bananas, and why a monocrop could lead to losing them altogether. Susie explains why produce can't compete with junk food. Sarah describes a study where people have to name the things they would give up to live ten years longer, and why Susie would be happy to give up any of them.00:00 - From Thongs to Boxers: The Quest for Underwear Comfort09:02 - Achieving Long, Luscious Hair with Nutrafol Supplements11:38 - Calling the Police: A Bystander's Dilemma and No Closure18:26 - Disneyland Paris: When a Ride Breaks Down and You Walk Off26:38 - The Looming Threat to Bananas: Monocrops and Fungus32:26 - The Inconsistency of Produce vs. The Reliability of Junk Food34:06 - The Undeniable Benefits of Therapy for Personal Growth37:44 - What Americans Would Give Up for 10 Extra Years of LifeBrain 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:This episode is sponsored by BetterHelp.
