  • 860: Dream On, Organ Donation Hell, & Robot Dating
    Oct 31 2024

    Sarah is grappling with her diminished enthusiasm for sPoOoOoOoky season and the reason she's less into it these days. We hear about the women's basketball Olympic team from 1996, and how they ushered in the creation of the WNBA, and the tragedy that befell one of the gold medalists. We discuss the British game of Conker and the championship scandal that is cracking us up (pun intended). And Sarah's got a theory about what really happened... We learn about a horrific organ donation story that will make you question the whole process. We hear what European countries that are the most...romantic (horny) and why Sarah's theory about this might be wrong. We discuss the men who are dating AI robots and why they are misguided in their approach to handling their loneliness and fears of rejection. Plus, Sarah asked ChatGPT to tell her something about herself and she was brought to tears with its answer.

  • 859: Cemetery Shenanigans, Elephant Evolution, & Winslet’s World Record
    Oct 28 2024

    Sarah was feeling left out of the crazy spider bite conversation. She got one of her own, so she and Susie can be Spider Bite Besties. We hear about Sarah’s recent obsession with Love Is Blind: Habibi, and why it's so much better than the American version. We learn why elephants are evolving at a faster rate to cope with humans hunting their tusks, and Susie thinks it’s a real win for the species. A man was fined for being too spooky in a cemetery, but we’ve got some questions before we pass judgment. Sarah fills us in on the Guinness World Record holder for longest breath held underwater, which leads to a shocking discovery about Kate Winslet–as if she wasn’t impressive enough already! Plus, NASA’s LunaRecycle Challenge is asking us to shift how we think about waste and come up with some new solutions. Sarah reports on the shocking brain changes in teens during COVID lockdown, but there’s one gendered aspect that doesn’t surprise us.

  • 858: Darwin Awards, Daydream Believer, & Antarctica Mail
    Oct 24 2024

    Susie brings a few nominees to the Darwin Awards--one is a snake influencer (?) who said anit-venom was for p*ssies who then, of course, was bit by his pet viper and the other was a man who was observing a friend drink an assisted suicide drug cocktail and then decided to take a sip for himself. We learn about a man who circumnavigated the globe on foot instead of getting a divorce and the unbelievable events that he went through for this dubious distinction. We hear about a daydreaming contest that tests whether you can remain lost in your thoughts for 90 minutes. Susie describes a couple who waited 12 years for access to Disney's Club 33 only to lose access based on what they say was a misunderstanding. Hear the incredible lengths they're going to get back in and what it's like to be a member of this exclusive club to begin with. We find out how mail is processed in Antarctica and who is sending mail there. We learn why Hope Solo was ostracized from the women's professional soccer team. And we discuss the forthcoming posthumous memoir by Lisa Marie Presley with help from her daughter Reilly Keogh, and the generational trauma of fame and addiction.

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 .
