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.Brain 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.

Today we're talking about the Death of a Pastor's Wife documentary, which, with it's religion, cyberstalking, and marital control themes, got us going down a dark path. We hear about the scammer, Daejon Love, who convinced 26 women he was the star player for the 49ers, and got them to give him $1.3M. We learn about "Baby Jessica's" recent run-in with the law, and while we don't condone her actions, we can see how someone could resent having their identity hinge on being infamous from their toddler years. We discuss a man who hiked Mt. Fuji with his 7yo, and after the boy started whining, he left him there with only a snack as he continued his hike for hours. We talk about the Lindsay Clancy trial, the conspiracy theories, and why her case is about the need for postpartum care, good therapy, and good doctors. We debate a recent conversation we had about how long one should keep their undies. And we find out what a 3,000 year old mummy smells like, and what scholars are doing to keep the smell alive.00:00 - Autumn Anticipation, Rocky Mountains, and Flea Infestation08:39 - Unpacking the Dark Truth of a Pastor's Wife20:24 - Love: Scamming Women as a Fake 49er29:36 - Baby Jessica's Infamy and Domestic Violence Arrest44:24 - 3000-Year-Old Mummy Smells and Underwear Debate53:24 - Join Our Patreon and Candy Club Book DiscussionsBrain 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 OneSkin with the code BRAINCANDY at https://www.oneskin.co/BRAINCANDY #oneskinpodHead to https://cozyearth.com and use our code BRAINCANDY for up to 20% off home and sleepwear.TDM-RESERVATION: 1.

Sarah wants people to stop with the obscure and niche wedding dress codes that make no sense. We learn about a study that showed how the brain scans of people can predict who they'll be friends with regardless of common interests and personality types. We hear about "local sleep," which allows you to "sleep" in tiny increments throughout the day when you are otherwise fully awake. Sarah explains how primates arrange playdates for their babies just like humans. And we relive the worst sushi experience of our lives.00:00 - Reliving Childhood Fashion Trends and Style Choices06:53 - The Absurdity of Niche Wedding Dress Code Demands17:20 - How Brain Scans Predict Future Friendships and Connections26:02 - A Delicious Dive into Olives and Dirty Martinis27:39 - Understanding Local Sleep and Brain's Need for Rest40:36 - Primates Arrange Playdates Just Like Human Parents45:00 - Why Bear Attacks Are on the Rise in Colorado51:20 - The Best Leftovers and Our Worst Sushi Experience01:04:48 - Episode Wrap-Up and How to Connect with Brain CandyBrain 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:For 50% off your order, head to https://www.dailylook.com and use code BRAINCANDY 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 braincandyLet Rocket Money help you reach your financial goals faster.

Susie watched the Boeing documentary, Freefall, which exposes the company's negligence that likely led to many of the recent airplane crashes, malfunctions, and fatalities. We learn about a Titanic-themed slide a family installed on their farm, which infuriated residents who thought it was insensitive. We debate whether making light of the tragedy is inappropriate or people are being overly sensitive. We learn the crazy reason clownfish lose all but one of their stripes as they age. We hear about a man paying a ton of money for a matchmaker, but has been on 40 first dates, and hasn't found Mrs. Right. We think we know why. In the middle of recording Susie receives dozens of texts about Dolly Parton's death, and we eulogize her on the fly. We learn what happens in the brain when we have an "aha moment." And we find out that humans are not the only animals who have pets.00:00 - Personal Updates, Exam Stress, and Comedy Show Mishaps11:27 - Unpacking Boeing's Negligence and Air Travel Anxiety20:29 - Is a Titanic-Themed Slide Insensitive or Harmless Fun?29:15 - Peer Pressure Makes Clownfish Lose Their Stripes34:09 - Why a $25,000 Matchmaker Client Stays Single44:30 - An Emotional Eulogy for Dolly Parton (False Alarm)49:25 - Exploring the Science Behind Our "Aha" Eureka Moments01:00:32 - The Evolutionary Enigma of Animals Keeping Pets01:08:17 - Reflecting on Cultural Grief and Saying FarewellBrain 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 learn what people think are the most romantic cities in the U.S. to go on a date, and we're just glad Vegas wasn't on the list. Sarah reveals the most disturbing fact Susie says we've ever learned on the show--it's a statistic about men's underwear and we are NOT OK (and clearly, neither are men). We find out about Matt Damon's (female!) stunt double, and why she is our badass bitch of the week. We hear what the secret is to being a "supermover" in old age, and we aspire! Sarah talks about her love of Thrifty Ice Cream, and how one business owner is keeping it alive. We hear how a group of students is solving cold cases and we discuss how some relatives of criminals like Charles Manson worry the evil acts of their family member might reflect on their own characters.00:00 - Brain Candy Club and Tombstone Philosophy02:06 - Keypad Installation and Appliance Woes11:52 - Unveiling America's Top Romantic Destinations18:01 - The Disturbing Truth About Men's Underwear Habits26:49 - Meet Devin Dalton, Matt Damon's Female Stunt Double29:26 - Simple Tests to Gauge Your Functional Fitness34:14 - The Unsung Heroines of Stunt Performance41:21 - How Fast Walking Boosts Brain Health in Old Age47:02 - The Surf Shop Keeping Thrifty Ice Cream Alive51:23 - Al's Job Impact and the Joy of Fidget Toys53:36 - High School Students Reignite Unsolved Murder Investigations56:51 - Exploring the Legacy of Charles Manson's Family01:02:44 - Final Thoughts and Community EngagementBrain 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:Go to https://thrivecausemetics.com/braincandy for an exclusive offer of 20% off your first order.Visit https://www.carawayhome.com/braincandypod to take an additional 10% off your next purchase.Head to https://airdoctor.com and use promo code CANDY to get UP TO $300 off today! TDM-RESERVATION: 1.

There is a new documentary coming out about Olympic breakdancer and academic, Raygun, and we don't know how we're going to be able to wait for its release. In the meantime, we talk about Amanda Knox's decision to try her hand at comedy, and why we think maybe she should do literally anything else. We debate whether it's inappropriate for her to make light of a murder or whether being wrongfully accused means she is a victim too, thus giving her more freedom to make jokes. We hear about a golf cheater and how his life is ruined over the dumbest lie ever told. We find out about an uber driver who has been in jail for years for accidentally transporting marijuana. We debate the rights of a surrogate who refused to terminate her pregnancy despite the agreement she'd made with the birth parents. We discuss why microwave beeps are so annoying. We hear about a football team who used "color theory" to intimidate their opposition in the locker room. We find out why wedding gifts in Japan have less value now and we learn why reading literally any book makes you less likely to die.00:00 - Dog Adventures, High School, and Licensing Exam Prep05:47 - Anticipating the Raygun Olympic Breakdancer Documentary12:02 - Debating Amanda Knox's Controversial Comedy Act17:14 - The Bumbling Amateur Golfer Caught Cheating32:34 - The Messy Surrogate Contract Dispute40:02 - Innocent Uber Driver Jailed for Marijuana Transport44:50 - The Quest to Silence Annoying Microwave Beeps53:24 - Coach's Sexist Pink Locker Room Tactic56:59 - The Fixed Value of Japanese Wedding Gifts01:03:21 - How Reading Boosts Longevity and Podcast Wrap-upBrain 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.

Susie spun the birthday wheel at her favorite dive bar, and she'll be riding that high for a while. Sarah watched a documentary called Big Chicken where a comedian looks into the health effects of fast food fried chicken for 28 days, and we learn what he experienced by eating a ton of fried chicken. We discuss the ways your personality can change if you want it to, and we consider how our personalities changed after we were on reality tv. Sarah explains why she is accused of being a "pick me" girl, why she chooses optimism, and how she adjusted her natural tendencies over time. Susie shares what it felt like when she went on tv at 18 and how it changed how she experienced the world and gave her social anxiety in certain environments. We debate whether people should be making out in public, and discuss the rise in people policing public displays of affection.00:00 - Susie Spins the Giant Birthday Wheel at North Park Lounge04:59 - Why the Rice Family Avoids Being a Burden to Others11:52 - Sarah Reviews 'Big Chicken' Documentary and Fast Food Effects18:11 - The Link Between Processed Foods, Brain Health, and Food Deserts28:05 - How Brain Science Shows Personality Can Be Changed39:08 - How Reality TV Changed Sarah and Susie's Personalities53:36 - Debating the Rise of Anti-PDA Culture and Public Affection01:01:50 - Podcast Outro, Promos, and Patreon InformationBrain 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 braincandyGet $10 off your first month’s subscription and free shipping when you visit https://nutrafol.com and enter promo code BRAINCANDYTDM-RESERVATION: 1.

Sarah got Susie amazing birthday gifts, and you all are going to be very jealous! We learn the science of left-handedness, why it's still so mysterious, and what makes it so exceptional among animals. We discuss the new Monsters of God docuseries, which covers the reptile and snake trade, smuggling, and the ways the criminals are in cahoots with zoos. We find out the history of the ice industry, and learn why it is so dang fascinating, what affects business that you'd NEVER expect, and why it should be treated like water and electricity in terms of its role as a public utility.00:00 - Whistle Controversy, Thoughtful Gifts, and Befriending Crows09:00 - Celebrating Jesse's 40th with a High School Dance Party13:31 - Unraveling the Science and History of Left-Handedness23:02 - Uncovering the Dark World of Reptile Smuggling and Zoos38:19 - The Fascinating History and Essential Role of the Ice Industry53:09 - Discussing Perez Hilton's Live-Streamed Mental Health Crisis56:34 - Join Candy Club and Leave a Five-Star Podcast ReviewBrain 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:Head to https://cozyearth.com and use my code BRAINCANDY for an exclusive 20% off. For a limited time, get 60% off your first order, plus free shipping and free treats for life, when you head to https://www.smalls.com/BRAINCANDYLet Rocket Money help you reach your financial goals faster.

Sarah is still in her Camp Era, and that includes giving us tips on nobody's-favorite-game, Simon Says. She is ruthless. We discuss why kids still get homesick sometimes when they're at camp, but now counselors are noticing that parents are "kid-sick," and have separation anxiety while their kids are away. Sarah offers an ADHD life hack that she created after becoming obsessed with the camp salad bar. Susie is just amazed that she's rolling the dice eating lettuce during a national parasitic outbreak. We discuss a funny Jimmy Kimmel clip that made Susie think about sunken cost fallcy and the plasticity of our minds. We learn about a man whose window on a flight broke, depressurizing the plane, and sucking his head outside while his wife had to hold on to him. Sarah rants about the price of margaritas at the Fresno airport, which is not a relatable story, but is hilarious.00:00 - Susie's Red Lips and Wild Stories Ahead00:44 - The ADHD Friend Who Disappears and Reappears02:27 - The Challenges of Kids' Medications at Summer Camp08:33 - Sarah's Simon Says Trick for Managing Feral Campers10:22 - How Technology is Ruining Camp Independence19:58 - Sarah's ADHD Life Hack: The Refrigerator Salad Bar23:45 - Processed Meats and Post-Camp Health Check-up29:01 - Bewitched, Simpsons, and Mom's Onion Remedies30:29 - Jimmy Kimmel, Placebo Effect, and Brain's Weirdness35:32 - Surviving a Flight Nightmare and Expressing Airline Rage47:06 - Apologies to the Dodo: Not Dumb, Just Misunderstood52:44 - Outrageous Margarita Prices at Fresno Airport53:50 - Join Patreon, Use Codes, Leave a Five-Star ReviewBrain 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://www.carawayhome.com/braincandypod to take an additional 10% off your next purchase.Get 15% off OneSkin with the code BRAINCANDY at https://www.oneskin.co/BRAINCANDY #oneskinpodTDM-RESERVATION: 1.

It's Susie's birthday and she joined AARP and is pretty stoked about her trunk organizer. Sarah is rolling the dice on eating lettuce when the stakes are pretty high these days. We learn why dogs do that weird circular positioning thing when they have to poop, and the reason researchers can't figure out why they do it. We discuss a Super K employee who was fired and sued by the company after he bought a winning lottery ticket from the store. We talk about an Usher concert where a woman got uncomfortable after being brought on-stage, and why he is now on our list of potential problem celebs. We hear about a man who was impaled on a hike, walked 10 miles with the pole in him, and survived. We discuss the bear infestation and how Sarah needs to be more prepared. And we hear why Susie had an emotional breakdown when she lost cellphone and GPS capability.00:00 - Celebrating Susie's Birthday with AARP and Trunk Organizers07:24 - Sarah's Camp Food Adventures and Podcast Community Love12:53 - Unraveling Animal Mysteries: Dog Poop, Salmon, and Octopuses21:47 - Cashier Wins Lottery, Super K Sues: A Legal Battle26:50 - Usher's On-Stage Incident and Our Celebrity Problem List40:22 - The Impaled Hiker Who Walked 10 Miles to Avoid Bills46:02 - Dealing with Bear Infestations and Wilderness Preparedness53:26 - Cliffhanger: Guy Sucked Out of Plane & Podcast FarewellBrain 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:For 50% off your order, head to https://www.dailylook.com and use code BRAINCANDYGet 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 braincandyTDM-RESERVATION: 1.
