  • 866: Disney Disabilities, Dating Cliches, & Motorcycle Mary
    Nov 21 2024

    Sarah's got a Pow Report, and she is as happy as a clam. Susie wants her to start a menopausal snowboarding group. We'll see. Susie talks about Mary McGee, who was the first motorcycle racing woman and the first PERSON to race the Baha 500 solo, and how she was a trailblazer without even really trying. And how her flippant attitude about a tragedy seemed well-adjusted rather than detached, and we analyze how that could be. We debate whether the Menendez brothers deserve to be resentenced, and the strange development of true crime fandom affecting actual criminal situations. We learn about the new rules for skipping the line at Disney for people with disabilities, why some people in the disabled community are furious, and why Disney said they had to change the rules in the first place. There's a pee related mystery in Los Angeles, and Susie makes Sarah theorize about the motives of the urinator. We hear why baseball players are the only athletes who can't stop eating, and Sarah gives the best reason for why food is important to them. Plus, a dating site made it possible to mute accounts who use certain words and phrases, and we consider some of the cliches, tropes, and platitudes that should/would get your bio hidden.

  • 865: Real World Reunion, Wet Dog Shake, & Monkeys on the Run
    Nov 18 2024

    Sarah returned to her Real World house and wasn't prepared for how emotional it would make her, and now she's considering why the experience brought out so many feelings. We talk about "wet dog shake," what causes it, and why some mammals have that response to certain stimuli, while others, like cats and mice, don't. We learn about dozens of monkeys who escaped from a research lab, and debate whether we're on team monkeys or team science. Either way, those monkeys are clever and free. We discuss a man who uses a medical voice board to communicate and how he modified the device to make it more personal and reflective of his identity. We consider which accents we like in the world and which grate on our nerves, and why so many people hate the sound of their own voice. Sarah explains how chocolate exposed racism within the movie industry, and how things have improved since the 70s. Plus, we discuss the Sweet Bobby documentary where a woman is catfished by someone for a decade, and we debate how someone could allow that to happen, why it could happen to anyone, and why there wasn't much punishment for the person who tricked her.

  • 864: Alien Abduction, Surgery Scandal, & Strongest Bird Breeder
    Nov 14 2024

    Sarah and Susie are fresh off their New York adventure, and they spent one night in their hotel room getting spooked by the Manhattan Alien Abduction documentary. Hear why we are kind of convinced that a woman was abducted, and feel bad that people question it. Susie met a man who gave himself a vasectomy (don't worry, he's a urology surgeon), and got the scoop on whether it really is as bad as men claim it is. We learn about a Strongman champion who recently died, and how he was a successful bird breeder who said the color and beauty of the fowls brought out his "gentle side." We also discuss the founder of the JanSport company and inventor of the backpack, mummy sleeping bag, and modern hiking bag, and how his innovative designs are so ubiquitous we can't imagine a world without them! We talk about new advances in the science of itching and the reasons why pain gets all the attention, while itching is understudied. Plus, we have a theory (well, Lincoln does) about why one basketball player refused to admit his actual height.

love the Brain Candy Podcast

Sarah and Susie are so fun to listen to. They have you laughing, they have you surprised or mad with them.
Game time debate our teens have rules to follow in order to play. They do have to be done an hour before bed no screen time unless it's to listen to a bed time items on the calm app.
Cereal as a soup debate from last episode cereal not a soup because you can eat the cereal out of the box with no milk, you cannot eat soup out of the box or liquid. It would not be soup then.

Excuse Me While I Gush 🧡

Susie and Sarah truly never disappoint. I am a long time listener and never tire of their banter, hilarity, and most importantly the incredibly fascinating topics they discuss and break down all while keeping you laughing! My life mirrored Susie’s life & upbringing in many ways and hearing her discuss it has helped me process loads, and feel so understood. These ladies are the real deal, unapologetically smart, cunning, & witty! So grateful for the community they’ve created with the BCP!

Love them, however...

I know Susie loves to run her mouth and whatnot but this time she got it wrong ... Bob Saget DIDN'T die of Covid, it was a head injury from a fall. he had multiple skull fractures. quit saying all deaths are Covid , you're as bad as the media .
