Podcasts about candid conversations

Susie is in the throes of Beatlemania, and she found out who Sarah's favorite Beatle is, and it's hilar (especially the reasoning). We learn about people who cannot see visual images or pictures in their mind, what conditions often correlate with the condition, and the pros and cons to having it. We hear why Susie thinks she has an auditory version of it and we discuss people who have something called "blindsight," where their eyes and brain can see things, but they aren't conscious of it, so they are ostensibly blind, but behave as if they aren't. Sarah describes a documentary about a school principal who hypnotized his students and three of them wound up dead. We discuss a nanny who was hired for a wealthy family and moved into their guest house, but when she was fired she refused to leave and invoked "squatter's rights." We debate the virtues of these strange laws that allow people to take over other people's residences.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:Want to feel safer in online dating?

Menopause isn't a decline - rather, it's a transition, and today's episode proves that women don't have to just "push through it."  Erin is joined by Dr. Aleksandra Gajer, a board-certified physician, to talk about two of the most talked-about tools in longevity and wellness right now: peptides and hormone replacement therapy (HRT). We talk about the symptoms women experience in peri-menopause, the myths surrounding hormone therapy, how peptides fit into the bigger picture and what safe personalized treatment can actually look like.  Listen in for a refreshing and hopeful conversation for any woman ready to feel informed and supported in their journey to menopause. Head over to Dr. Gajer's website at https://thegajerpractice.com/ to book a free consultation call to find out how you can reclaim your vitality and energy.   Follow us on social media: TikTok account: https://www.tiktok.com/@estrogen.dropouts?_t=ZT-8wTKvGNOQv5&_r=1 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/estrogendropouts?igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA== YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@EstrogenDropouts

In a world where spiritual claims come from every direction—podcasts, platforms, pulpits, and social feeds—it's becoming harder to discern what's truly biblical. Many ideas sound close to Christianity yet miss the mark in ways that quietly reshape what we believe about Jesus.If you've ever heard something that didn't sit right with you, you're not alone—and your instincts matter. And believe it or not… Christians were fighting these same battles 1,700 years ago.In this Candid reflection, Dr. Jonathan Youssef takes us back to one of the most defining moments in church history: the Council of Nicaea (A.D. 325). As the Council marks its 1,700th anniversary, Jonathan invites you into the story behind the Nicene Creed —a confession that has anchored generations of believers in the truth as heresy spread like wildfire.Learn how a single false idea about Jesus sparked a worldwide crisis, why the early Church gathered to defend the truth, and how the creed they forged continues to safeguard our faith today. This isn't dusty theology or ancient trivia. It's the foundation on which your understanding of Jesus' divinity, incarnation, resurrection, and His return still rests.Jonathan also guides you through the creed itself, and together, you'll rediscover why these ancient words still matter today.Vital Questions Answered by this Reflection:Why was the early Church gathered in Nicaea, and what was at stake?What was the Arian controversy, and why did it threaten the heart of the Gospel?How does the Nicene Creed boldly declare the eternal divinity of Jesus?Why does the creed still matter in a world of spiritual influencers and modern heresies?How does confessing ancient truth form a deeper, richer worship life today?Why is grounding your faith in who Jesus truly is the most urgent task of every believer?If You Enjoyed This Episode:Subscribe & Share:If this episode inspired you, please subscribe, leave a review, and share it with others.Follow Candid Conversations on social media:Instagram: @candidpodTikTok: @officiallycandidpodYouTube: @CandidPod 

EPISODE # 76 This week on Taking Flight with Megan Holly, we're doing something different—a 4-woman roundtable conversation about what it really means to build confidence, take care of yourself, and show up boldly in business and life.You'll hear stories of transformation, practical tips on style and self-care, and honest talk about navigating entrepreneurship without losing yourself. From closet edits to community building, from mirror work to mindset shifts, we cover the messy middle, the small actions that build momentum, and the freedom that comes when you finally feel like you.Whether you're a mom, a creative, an entrepreneur (or all three), this conversation is packed with reminders that you're not alone—and that confidence grows one intentional choice at a time.

Susie and Sarah are psyched about the Louvre heist especially because there was a woman involved, but Sarah's mom is not so pleased. We hear why one UFC fighter is being challenged about his use of a diabolical tactic of tickling, and we learn why it's seen as "unsportsmanlike." We debate the ethics of free diving and why some people think inhaling pure oxygen beforehand is "cheating." Susie watched the Aileen Wournos documentary, and despite being very familiar with the murderes, she still learned a lot that complicated her opinion of what happened. Finally, we debate a viral DoorDash delivery issue where a woman claimed to be "assaulted" by a customer, but believe it or not we're on his side...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:For a limited time get 40% off your first box PLUS get a free item in every box for life.

In this heartfelt episode, we delve into the poignant themes of grief and loss, sparked by the recent passing of a beloved family dog and the tragic suicide of Marshawn Kneeland. We explore how these events highlight the often-hidden struggles many men face regarding mental health. Join us for an honest conversation about the importance of acknowledging our emotions and supporting one another in the journey toward mental wellness.

Social justice is a deep topic, and this cross-post episode from Ministry for Dummies, Humberto and Jacob dive into social justice, and share their definitions ... what it is and what it isn't. They define it as fair and equitable treatment for all, regardless of race, gender, or economic status, and they emphasize the importance of love, curiosity, and dialogue in social justice advocacy. They even highlight practical examples from their work and personal experiences. Whether you agree or disagree with them doesn't matter.  What matters is that you get in on the conversation. Listen to other Percolating on Faith Episodes. Check out the Ministry for Dummies podcast. Download TranscriptThanks for listening to Faith Unfiltered!Follow us on Facebook and Instagram!Intro and Outro music used with permission: “For Everyone Born,” Community of Christ Sings #285.

We survived our live event! And better still we got to meet amazing Brainiacs and Susie got to witness Sarah embody the ghost of PeeWee Herman. It was incredible. We share how we violated one of our sacred principles when we participated in an activity we've previously railed against (we did not climb Mt. Everest). We discuss the woman who was left behind by a cruise ship on a deserted Australian island, and we debate how she died. Sarah reveals the age of the oldest crayon, but more importantly, we learn what it tells us about the human spirit. We talk about a controversial OnlyFans policy that is creating a MLM structure to the site. Sarah theorizes why costumes are getting hyperspecific, and Susie is mad about it. Plus, we learn about the female pitcher who struck out Babe Ruth, and why some people are calling foul.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:Black Friday has come early at https://cozyearth.com!

We live in a world that tells us happiness is always just one more step away—one more raise, one more purchase, one more answered prayer. Yet even when we finally get what we thought we wanted, peace still feels out of reach.In this powerful reflection, Jonathan Youssef invites you to pause and consider a radically different kind of joy, the kind that doesn't depend on circumstances. He takes us to a Roman prison cell, where the apostle Paul, chained and hungry, wrote these astonishing words:“I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.” — Philippians 4:13Paul wasn't celebrating victory; he was declaring trust. From that dark cell came a light that still pierces our restless culture today: the secret of contentment found in Christ alone.Jonathan explores what it means to offer a sacrifice of thanksgiving even when life hurts, and how gratitude can become a spiritual weapon in seasons of loss, waiting, or disappointment.If you've ever wondered how to hold onto peace when everything feels uncertain, this message is for you.True gratitude isn't about pretending life is perfect. It's about believing God still is.Follow Candid Conversations on social media:Instagram: @candidpodTikTok: @officiallycandidpodYouTube: @CandidPodSubscribe & Share:If this episode inspired you, please subscribe, leave a review, and share it with others.  

We all know that AI talk can feel both thrilling and slightly terrifying — and if you're anything like me, you might've been firmly in the “Chrome forever” camp… until now. After spending the last week and a half inside ChatGPT's new browser, I'm bringing you a true ChatGPT Atlas review — not hype, not theory, but exactly how I've been using it inside my real workflows as a business owner and creator.In this episode, I'm walking you through eight specific use cases that saved me time, sparked ideas, or changed how I write and market online. This isn't a “prompts hacks” episode: this is how Atlas feels, functions, and fits into everyday life when you run a business and want to protect your voice, your workflows, and your humanity in the content you create.If you've been wondering, “Is ChatGPT Atlas actually worth it?” or “Could this replace Chrome?” this episode is your starting point. Let's talk pros, limitations, Agent Mode experiments, and whether this is tech you should actually invest your time in right now.

Susie and Sarah have had a busy few week's in Denver preparing for their live event, Halloween special, and if you're hearing this episode, they either survived or are coming at you from beyond the grave. Hear about their documentary viewing party of Perfect Neighbor, why it freaked them out, and why Susie is extra mad about it. We discuss a new plastic surgery technique to make your waist smaller, debate whether it's worse than breast augmentation, and learn why Susie cares so much about appearances. We find out why women are sharing their phone location with their friends, and Susie shares why she finds the practice particularly intimate.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.

We were worried we might not have anything left to talk about on the show (spoiler alert, we were wrong). We discuss the good and bad uses of AI, why it can be a better doctor than a human, why it's more dangerous than plastic, and why Sarah can't quit ChatGPT. Sarah explains why misinformation is causing more marriages than anything else. We share what our "favorite" conspiracy theories are, and why we sort of believe them. Sarah almost got struck by lightning, and why she wants people to be more careful during storms. We hear why there might be a cure for the vision issues of growing old, and we find out that essential oils actually are...essential.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:Cancel your unwanted subscriptions and reach your financial goals faster at https://rocketmoney.com/braincandy today.Download Hily from the App Store or Google Play, or check out https://hily.comSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Sarah AND Susie had MRIs (separately, but still), and let's just say it didn't go well. Hear them trauma bond about it. We learn that cows have accents depending on where they live, and even their mood and what they're mooing about. And we learn how we even know that. We discuss how inspired we are by the work and life of Jane Goodall, and how her legacy will live on. We talk about how there are different expectations for different circumstances and how standards change all the time and expectations affect our perceptions. We learn about a school that is limiting the number of times students can use the bathroom, and we debate whether this is a good policy or not. And Sarah reveals the difference between having an orgasm with a woman vs. having an orgasm with a man.Brain Candy Podcast Presents: Susie & Sarah's SpOoOoOoOoktacular Spectacle, October 30, Oriental Theater, Denver, Colorado: Get your tickets!

  In this week's episode of Straight Talk with Sally, we're getting real about what happens after a live launch. Fresh off the back of her most recent Hidden Client Challenge, Sally shares a completely transparent breakdown of what worked, what didn't, and what's next. She opens up about missing her $100K goal—and why she's perfectly okay with it—while walking listeners through the lessons behind a $5,000 ad spend that generated over $53,000 in revenue. From delayed ad testing to Facebook form hiccups, Sally pulls back the curtain on the messy middle of launching and reminds us that it's all about testing, measuring, and tweaking for the next round. She explains how using a drip account can protect your cash flow, why lead quality matters more than quantity, and how tracking “sexy numbers” like cost-per-lead, cost-per-acquisition, and Facebook-group conversions gives you the data you need to grow with confidence. As always, Sally keeps it candid—sharing the highs of 10x ROI alongside the hard truths about scaling responsibly. She also highlights the power of community, celebrating participants who went live for the first time and even joined her program after conquering their fear of video. If you've ever launched something—or thought about it—this episode is for you. It's a masterclass in making data-driven decisions, staying grounded through the ups and downs, and remembering that every launch is a learning curve. Tune in to hear the honest numbers, the behind-the-scenes stories, and Sally's roadmap for repeating success.   tay Connected & Get Exclusive Access: Join the Private OmniSAM Community: omnisam.com.au/gsdgroup Facebook Group: gsdfb.omnisam.com.au Follow on Facebook: facebook.com/sallysparkscousins Watch the Live Stream & Subscribe for More Updates: OmniSAM YouTube: youtube.com/@omnisamsoftware Sally Sparks-Cousins YouTube: youtube.com/@sallysparkscousins  

In a culture where identity has become fluid, how can Christians respond with Biblical Truth with both conviction and compassion?In this episode of Candid Conversations, Jonathan Youssef sits down with Dr. Katie McCoy, author of To Be a Woman: The Confusion Over Female Identity and How Christians Can Respond. Together they unpack one of the most pressing questions facing the next generation: Who decides who we are?Dr. McCoy traces the rise of gender confusion from the roots of radical feminism and expressive individualism to the explosion of gender dysphoria among Gen Z. With clarity and grace, she explains why this moment is not just a social issue but a spiritual one, a battle over what it means to be human and made in the image of God.In this conversation, you will also hear:How culture's “be whoever you want” message is leaving young people anxious and broken.The connection between feminism, Marxist thought, and modern gender ideology.What Scripture teaches about masculinity, femininity, and our created design.Practical advice for parents and churches walking alongside teens facing gender confusion.How believers can speak truth without hostility in an age of outrage.Dr. McCoy also shares about The Identity Project, a free resource helping parents, pastors, and churches navigate questions of sexuality, gender, and biblical identity with wisdom and courage.If you've ever wondered how to stand for truth while staying loving in conversations about gender and identity, this episode will equip you with biblical insight and hope.Follow Candid Conversations on social media:Instagram: @candidpodTikTok: @officiallycandidpodYouTube: @CandidPodSubscribe & Share:If this episode inspired you, please subscribe, leave a review, and share it with others.CANDID LISTENER SURVEYWe love bringing you honest, hope-filled conversations about the Christian faith, and we'd love your feedback.

In what was originally intended to be a structured discussion on “The Ten Steps to Constructing the Secret Sexual Basement,” this episode took an unexpected and deeply personal turn. Instead, I'm joined by Dr. Omar Minwalla for a raw, unfiltered conversation that traces the arc of our individual and shared professional journeys.What unfolds is a rare, intimate glimpse into the foundation of a long-standing friendship - one built on mutual respect, hard truths, and a shared commitment to integrity, even when it's uncomfortable or controversial. We talk openly about what it means to stay committed to telling the truth, to each other and to the work, despite pushback or disagreement.This was never meant to be a public conversation - but by the end, we both felt that what emerged was too meaningful not to share. I believe listeners will find resonance, insight, and maybe even a sense of companionship and loyalty in the honesty of this exchange.Dr. Minwalla will be back soon and hopefully next time we'll get to the secret basement. Until then, this is something different… and maybe more important.Want to connect with us? Schedule your free 15-minute call here.

Sarah watched an incredible documentary, and we can't believe what the topic of it is: extreme birdwatching. We learn why these birders are very competitive, strict with the rules, and are willing to spend a lot of money looking to see more species. Hear about the birding scandal that rocked their "honor system" and what they think about apps that help you identify and track birds.Brain Candy Podcast Presents: Susie & Sarah's SpOoOoOoOoktacular Spectacle, October 30, Oriental Theater, Denver, Colorado: Get your tickets!

What happens when we stop running from our stories and start learning from them? Join myself and Mark Anthony for raw, unfiltered conversations about the moments that shaped us and the courage it takes to move beyond them. Each episode dives deep into the messy middle of transformation, where regret meets resilience and hindsight becomes clarity. Sometimes the breakthrough comes from doing the opposite of what everyone expects leaning into discomfort instead of avoiding it, or finding stillness when the world demands action. Adversity isn't just an obstacle; it's often the very friction that polishes us into who we're meant to become. No sugar-coating, no perfect endings just honest dialogue about what it really takes to let go and move forward. Because sometimes the only way out is through.Please be sure to leave a comment if you too have had to move past some shame in your life just to see the glory on the other side.IG: @ShesooshamelessIG: @Markwhereyouat (feature)Website: www.shamelessthebrand.com

A Candid Conversation on the Mental Game of Life   This episode of the Rich Mind Podcast explores the single most important factor that separates the good from the great: a winner's mindset. Using the world of professional sports—from Tom Brady and Baker Mayfield in the NFL to the top players in golf—Randy and Greg dissect what it truly means to have the mental edge. They argue that at the elite level, physical talent is a given; the real differentiator is the internal programming, discipline, and unshakable belief that allows champions to perform under pressure. This conversation translates the lessons from these top athletes into practical advice for your own life, covering the importance of a strong "organization" (your inner circle), consistent practice (reps), and the powerful mindset of a champion that you can apply to your career, relationships, and personal goals.   Key Takeaways:   In any competitive field, including business and life, the ultimate differentiator is not physical skill but mindset. A winner's mindset is developed through disciplined practice and a relentless commitment to excellence, as exemplified by athletes like Tom Brady. The success of an individual is heavily influenced by the mindset of the entire "organization" they are a part of, from ownership down to the players. True champions, like Tom Brady, often prioritize winning and team success over individual accolades or maximum financial gain. The principles of a sports mindset—putting in the reps, having confidence, and focusing on the fundamentals—are directly applicable to achieving goals in any area of your life. Surrounding yourself with the right "organization"—your inner circle of friends, family, and mentors—is critical for your personal and professional success. Developing a winning mindset requires consistent practice, even when you don't see immediate results, and having the resilience to learn from "bad reps."   Questions Answered in This Episode:   What is the single biggest difference between good athletes and legendary champions? How did Tom Brady go from being the last draft pick to the greatest of all time? How does the culture of an organization impact individual performance and success? What can we learn from the mindset of elite golfers about performing under pressure? How can you apply the principles of a winner's mindset to your own career and goals? Why is the "who" you surround yourself with just as important as the "what" you do? How do you build confidence and put in the "reps" for your own life goals? What is the connection between mindset coaches in sports and personal development?   Key People, Concepts, & Terms:   People: Randy Wilson, Greg Junge, Tom Brady, Baker Mayfield, Peyton Manning, Joe Dispenza, John Daly. Concepts: Winner's Mindset, Mental Game, Reps (Practice), Confidence, Discipline, Organizational Culture, Inner Circle, Peak Performance.

We learn about an amputation doctor who has a fetish for cutting off body parts, why he got arrested, and how he manifested his fetish in himself.

Susie learned about a shocking situation developing at a French aquarium housing killer whales where animal rights activists caught the trainers, um, handling the whales to alleviate adult desires brewing between the whales. We hear why it's happening, and why it's so upsetting (beyond the obvious). We discuss the situation between 74yo former NFL coach Bill Bellichek and his 24yo girlfriend, why we can't decide who the villain is, and why it's flipping the script of May/December romances.

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!

Sarah wants Susie to see T-Pain with her in Denver, and Susie's up for it, but had to confess she doesn't know any of his songs. We discuss one-hit-wonder band, Devo, why they were misunderstood, why they never had another hit, and how expectations determine how a band deals with only having one hit. We find out the origin story for Sweet Caroline being played at sporting events, why a tragedy caused the ritual to spread, and why Susie is still confused about how the song became interactive. Plus, we learn why Sarah hates "swaying" songs. Susie and Sarah have a sing-a-long with church and camp music. And Susie explains why Keanu Reeves is the most impersonated celebrity of all time, how scammers use fandom to prey upon victims, and why men and women fall for different tricks.Brain Candy Podcast Presents: Susie & Sarah's SpOoOoOoOoktacular Spectacle, October 30, Oriental Theater, Denver, Colorado: Get your tickets! 0:00 - Susie's T-Pain Blind Spot & Overalls Fashion09:58 - The Misunderstood Genius of Devo and One-Hit Wonders22:13 - Unpacking Sweet Caroline and Camp Sing-Alongs39:34 - Why Keanu Reeves is the Top Celebrity Scammer TargetBrain 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/braincandy10 to take an additional 10% off your next purchase.Get 25% off your first month of Ritual when you visit https://ritual.com/braincandy & add Essential Protein today.Get 40% off your first box PLUS get a free item in every box for life when you go to https://www.hungryroot.com/braincandy and use code braincandySee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Brain Candy is pumped up for their live event--if you haven't gotten your tickets, now is the time! Sarah is in charge of grassroots promotions, and it reminded her of the importance of being a part of our communities in real life. We discuss the trend of moms going hog-wild decorating their children's dorm rooms, why we think they're doing this, and why it makes us yearn for less polished lives. Sarah explains why people often laugh at her when she is being serious, and why Susie is guilty of accidentally doing this. And Sarah had an incident in a parking lot where a man called her out on her parking, and she can't quit thinking about it and the regrets she has about the interaction.Brain Candy Podcast Presents: Susie & Sarah's SpOoOoOoOoktacular Spectacle, October 30, Oriental Theater, Denver, Colorado: Get your tickets! 0:00 - Sarah's Grassroots Promotion and Community Connection12:09 - Experience Unmatched Comfort with Cozy Earth Sheets14:21 - The Problem with Over-Parenting and Aesthetic Perfection29:42 - Cure Nausea Fast with the Relief Band33:01 - Sarah's Frugality and Misunderstood Serious Tone42:31 - Sarah's Parking Lot Confrontation and Episode 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)Brain Candy Podcast Sponsors, partnerships, & Products that we love:Head to https://cozyearth.com and use my code BRAINCANDY for 40% off!

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 get an update on our old pal James Howells who accidentally threw away his hard drive (and the key to his crypto) that is now worth about a billion dollars, and his efforts to retrieve it from the garbage dump.Brain Candy Podcast Presents: Susie & Sarah's SpOoOoOoOoktacular Spectacle, October 30, Oriental Theater, Denver, Colorado: Get your tickets! 00:00 - Feeling Good, Booking Appointments, and Our Spooktacular Spectacle05:15 - Unpacking The Biggest Loser: Reality TV's Harmful Impact14:46 - The Biggest Loser's Temptation Challenges and Ethical Dilemmas25:18 - Motivation, Shame, and the Role of Therapy in Weight Loss34:13 - Is Twin Telepathy Real?
