Sarah was having the time of her life in the creepiest national park that may or may not have alien life. We learn about a horse who died under mysterious circumstances and how a cult got started nearby. And we hear about her experience at a hot spring in her area that freaked her out and made her foot feel like it was on fire. We learn about a flesh eating maggot that is threatening America's lifestock, and it's making us wonder if Paul McCartney was right all along about eating meat. We learn why tennis is the best sport to play for overall health and longevity. And we debate the use of GLP-1s by Serena Williams, and the reason Susie is confused about why her coach wanted her to lose weight in the first place.Brain Candy Podcast Presents: Susie & Sarah's SpOoOoOoOoktacular Spectacle, October 30, Oriental Theater, Denver, Colorado: Get your tickets!

Susie watched the Biggest Loser docuseries, and it just confirms everything we've been saying about reality tv for decades, but it leaves the question of whether we should expect more from our "entertainment." We find out whether twins have "telepathy" or any kind of special biological ability that allows them to understand each other better, read each other's thoughts, and feel physical pain the other is experiencing. There's a new record for the longest lightning bolt, and we're glad we weren't there for it.

We have a new Brain Candy seal of approval, inspired by Sarah, created by Adam, and loved by all. Pay attention to our approvals with our new device. We wonder why the Twinkie never left despite threats that they were discontinuing their production of the food (???). We learn the origin of Pac-Man, why the game was revolutionary, and what makes us love it still. We talk about the strange success of the sporting goods story, Dicks, and how Sarah thought Dick divorced someone and she had a spinoff store called Chicks. We debate AI for therapy, wellness, and friendship, and share what we think people should do instead (and it involves, you know, talking to actual people).

We're fresh off the heals of our Colorado Rocky Mountain high, and we are still recovering. Susie talks about a man who read 3,599 books in his lifetime and kept an adorable handwritten list of them that is now available to all of us. A zoo wants you to know that if you have any "unwanted" pets that they'll take them off your hands and feed them to their predators, which is weird? A doctor might've killed a patient through music, and we think it's sad, but also the game he was playing sounds really fun. We hear why lots of people are getting their teeth fixed in Mexico, and Susie rants about insane reasons why our teeth aren't included on our healthcare plans, the reason dental insurance is the opposite of health insurance, and she wants to know why we have silent cars, but not silent dental drills.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:Get 25% off your first month of Ritual when you visit https://ritual.com/braincandy & add Essential Protein today!See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Sarah talks about a couple who started their own surrogacy company, but then just used it as a cover for them to have 21 children, and now authorities are investigating how they were able to get away with this insanity for so long. We learn that some families are more likely to produce boys vs girls or vice versa, and that the men in the family (well, the sperm) are the part of the equation that influences the sex of a person. And we discuss the eight babies born in the UK with three biological parents and how the combination allows children to overcome a genetic abnormality that would likely happen if they only had two biological parents. And despite this great news, Susie sees some trouble up ahead by having three people have a genetic link (and custodial right?) to a single child. The company that "brought" back an extinct wolf is at it again, and we think they're up to no good. But more importantly, why are we saying more than one goose is geese, but more than one moose isn't meese? Huh?

We discuss the phrase "honk if you're horny," and debate whether you're actually supposed to honk or not. Sarah talks about "mushroom coffins," which claim to decompose human body in 45 days as compared to 30 years or more using other methods. We discuss cities that are overrun with tourists and the anger it provokes among residents, and we debate whether it's being handled properly, the reasons it's happening, and why Susie thinks it's not fair to people who want to travel. We learn about the Enhanced Games, which are similar to the Olympics, but allow--and encourage!--any and all performance enhancing substances, and incentivize record-breaking with cash prizes.

We learn how Jayne Mansfield was a victim of a Hollywood system that objectifies women and society's decision to put women, especially beautiful women, into a very small box, and the ways secrets can tear families apart. We discuss the cruise that lost power and became a floating toilet in short order, and our theories about why the passengers got along and left with pretty good memories anyway. We talk about astronaut and badass bitch Sally Ride, and how the very reasons she became a trailblazer also made her hard to get to know and somewhat unlikable. Plus, we hear about the "birthday effect" where people are more likely to die on their birthdays, and we learn whether it's actually true or an illusion, and if it's true, why that might be.3:18 - Episode Table Of Contents7:34 - Susie and Sarah on the field at the Pirates game11:06 - Our favorite makeup ever13:40 - Jayne Mansfield Documentary23:40 - Poop Cruise Documentary36:06 - Our favorite comfy athlege clothes.38:06 - Sally Ride Documentary46:45 - The Birthday Effect57:20 - Share your comments about the Birthday Effect.Comment on Spotify, and on YouTubeConnect with us on social media:BCP Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/braincandypodcastSusie's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/susiemeisterSarah's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/imsarahriceBCP on X: https://www.x.com/braincandypodSponsors:Visit https://shopbeam.com/BRAINCANDY and use code BRAINCANDY to get our exclusive discount of up to 35% off.New customers can get the Liquid Lash Extensions Mascara and a mini-sized Brilliant Eye Brightener at a special set price with free shipping at https://thrivecausemetics.com/BRAINCANDYSave 20% Off Honeylove by going to https://www.honeylove.com/BRAINCANDY #honeylovepodSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

We talk about the doofus who sat his buns down on a Swaroski crystal chair at a museum and destroyed it. We discuss Barbara Walters, her ambition, and why she was kind of a jerk to women despite being a trailblazer at the same time. We debate whether we should start a "chichi chat," and why showing your body off to other women can be empowering. We hear about the lifelike dolls in Brazil that are making people mad, and how the women who collect (and play with) them are mocked, yet no one thinks its weird that men have similarly infantile and strange hobbies.

Rescue helicopters finally reach the campers, Sue and Bruce, as well as other stranded survivors like TV reporter David Crockett and logger Jim Scymanky. But with nightfall approaching, Sue worries that rescuers won't be able to find her injured friends, Dan Balch and Brian Thomas, in time. With the roads onto the mountain impassible, blocked by trees and debris, rescuers' only chance of reaching survivors quickly is by helicopter. But the thick ash blanketing the landscape makes landing the copters a major challenge — if ash gets caught in the rotors, they risk crashing. Meanwhile, the logging team and the campers who suffered severe burns are in desperate need of medical attention.
