What if the secret to a stronger relationship is not fewer connections, but better communication, clearer boundaries, and zero pretending? Kimberly joins Elizabeth and Erin for a candid, surprisingly practical conversation about ethical non-monogamy, polyamory, jealousy, and what it really takes to make an open relationship work. Elizabeth and Erin do not hold back, and Kimberly shares the story of how she and her husband moved from monogamy to non-monogamy after years of marriage, what changed when they stopped treating love like a scarcity game, and why jumping in without research can get messy fast. If you have ever wondered how polyamory actually works in real life, this episode pulls back the curtain without the gloss. You'll discover: The real difference between ethical non-monogamy, swinging, and polyamory Why “kitchen table polyamory” and the idea of a polycule matter How jealousy shows up even in healthy open relationships, and how to work through it Why therapy, boundaries, and open communication are non-negotiable What happens when one partner feels pressured, and why consent changes everything Kimberly also gets honest about the social fallout of being open, the reactions from family and church communities, and why some of the biggest misunderstandings about open relationships come from assuming it is just cheating with a nicer name. Erin and Elizabeth explore tough questions about hierarchy, commitment, attraction, and whether marriage itself changes the dynamic. This conversation matters because non-monogamy is more common than most people think, but the stakes are high when curiosity turns into pressure, secrecy, or resentment. Whether you are polyamorous, monogamous, or just trying to understand a relationship style you have never lived, this episode offers a rare mix of honesty, nuance, and real-world insight. Essential listening if you want a stigma-free look at a relationship model that many people judge before they understand. If you are curious, skeptical, or considering how to talk to your partner about it, this episode gives you the language and perspective to start that conversation.

As we prepare for the 2026 Peace Forum, we are again digging back into the Project Zion Podcast archives to bring you this episode in which Karin Peter sits down with Rick Sarre to explore how Community of Christ's understanding and practice of justice has evolved—and how justice is inseparable from peace, empowerment, and discipleship. Rick reflects on how the tradition continues to grow through dialogue, grassroots participation, and self-critique. The conversation also considers how climate change, migration, poverty, and human rights are deeply interconnected—and why the church cannot remain on the sidelines. At the heart of it all is a simple but challenging conviction: if all are one in Christ, then our faith calls us to keep wrestling with what justice looks like in practice. Listen to other episodes in the Grounds for Peace series. Download the transcript.Thanks 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'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.00:00 - From Thongs to Boxers: The Quest for Underwear Comfort09:02 - Achieving Long, Luscious Hair with Nutrafol Supplements11:38 - Calling the Police: A Bystander's Dilemma and No Closure18:26 - Disneyland Paris: When a Ride Breaks Down and You Walk Off26:38 - The Looming Threat to Bananas: Monocrops and Fungus32:26 - The Inconsistency of Produce vs. The Reliability of Junk Food34:06 - The Undeniable Benefits of Therapy for Personal Growth37:44 - What Americans Would Give Up for 10 Extra Years of LifeBrain 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.

What do you do when you get it wrong? When people get hurt or when the easy way our is to defend yourself and move on?Brian has spent the last six months wrestling with those questions. In this episode of The Aggressive Life podcast, he talks candidly about what's been happening, what he's had to own, and what it looks like to actually repent and change direction. Sometimes the best way forward is the hard way forward.Watch the full episode on YouTube here.To watch Brian's May '26 sermon referenced in this episode, click here.

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.

BRAIN CANDY PODCAST - An oldy but a goodie. Sarah had a drunken weekend, and her arch supports were working overtime on the dance floor. Susie reviews the Duggar documentary series, Shiny Happy People, and we hear why the child predation, religious extremism, and patriarchy are predictable, but the shock came in seeing how the Discovery channel seemed complicit (or at least incompetent/negligent in stopping) the abuse. We learn about a woman who was catatonic for twenty years, and then awoke with memories from her childhood, the ability to talk, and an awareness about her identity. Susie thought a beluga whale was a robot, but found out it was just Flipper with a Go-Pro strapped to its back. She was giving Russian way too much credit. We discuss the Curious Case of Natalia Grace, and why we had originally fallen for the lie that a Ukrainian orphan was a woman instead of a child. Plus, Susie reveals who is responsible for the capture of Anne Frank and why her dad never pursued revenge on the man who caused his family to die in World War II.Go to: https://thebraincandypodcast.com/Read this week's Newsletter: https://mailchi.mp/thebraincandypodcast/is-sex-going-to-become-an-official-sportJoin our book club, shop our merch, sign-up for our free newsletter, & more by visiting The Brain Candy Podcast website: https://www.thebraincandypodcast.comConnect 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 Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/braincandypodSusie's Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/susie_meisterSarah's Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/ImSarahRiceSponsors:For a limited time only, get 25% off with the code BRAINCANDY at https://www.trueclassic.comIf you go to https://www.reliefband.com and use promo code: CANDY you'll receive 20% off plus free shipping!Go to https://www.fastgrowingtrees.com/braincandy NOW to get 15% OFF your entire order!Head to https://www.smalls.com/braincandy and use promo code: BRAINCANDY at checkout for 50% off your first order PLUS free shipping!See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

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)Brain Candy Podcast Sponsors, partnerships, & Products that we love:Head to https://airdoctor.com and use promo code CANDY to get UP TO $300 off today!

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 Engagement 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: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.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.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)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.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 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 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.

Welcome to the Psychedelic Conversations Podcast!Episode 175:In this episode of Psychedelic Conversations, we speak with Vermont-based addiction recovery advocate and author Rory Van Tuinen to explore his deeply personal journey through grief, opioid addiction, relapse, and recovery. Rory shares how the loss of his best friend, a serious car accident, and prescribed opioids led to years of heroin and methadone dependence. We discuss the transformative roles ayahuasca, ibogaine, peer support, family connection, and intentional integration played in helping him reclaim his identity. Rory also introduces his book, Awakening the Heart: Reclaiming Identity After Addiction, and reflects on sensitivity, acceptance, and storytelling as tools for healing. Together, we examine harm reduction, psychedelic safety, cultural respect, and the need to build thoughtful bridges between Indigenous traditions and Western models of care.Find Rory's book here:https://a.co/d/09dZtUXKAbout Rory:Rory Van Tuinen is a Vermont-based advocate for addiction recovery, author, and co-creator of Candid Conversations by Cultivating Connections. Drawing from his lived experience of opioid addiction, relapse, and recovery, he supports initiatives that foster resilience, connection, harm reduction, and personal transformation. His book, Awakening the Heart: Reclaiming Identity After Addiction, explores the experiences that shaped his journey and the roles of psychedelic medicines, peer support, family, and integration in his healing. Rory believes that sharing honest stories within our communities can challenge stigma, deepen acceptance, and become a powerful mechanism for both individual and collective revolution.Connect with Rory:- LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/roryvantuinen/- Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/roryvantuinen/- Website: https://roryvantuinen.com/Thank you so much for joining us!Psychedelic Conversations Podcast is designed to educate, inform, and expand awareness.For more information, please head over to https://www.psychedelicconversations.comPlease share with your friends or leave a review so that we can reach more people and feel free to join us in our private Facebook group to keep the conversation going. https://www.facebook.com/groups/psychedelicconversationsThis show is for information purposes only,and is not intended to provide mental health or medical advice.About Susan Guner:Susan Guner is a holistic psychotherapist with a mindfulness-based approach grounded in Transpersonal Psychology, focusing on trauma-informed, community-centric processes that offer a broader understanding of human potential and well-being.Connect with Susan:Website: https://www.psychedelicconversations.com/Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/susan.gunerLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/susan-guner/Instagram: http://www.instagram.com/susangunerTwitter: http://www.twitter.com/susangunerBlog: https://susanguner.medium.com/Podcast: https://anchor.fm/susan-guner#PsychedelicConversations #SusanGuner #RoryVanTuinen

Great things can happen when a congregation stops asking, “How have we always done this?” and starts asking, “What does our community need now?” In this episode of What's Brewing, Blake Smith talks with Brooke and Thomas Schlenker of Highland Park, WA Congregation about their sacred (and un-conditional) yes to congregational leadership and to new ideas ... embracing experimentation, and becoming comfortable with the discomfort of change. Highland Park offers a compelling glimpse of what can happen when faith communities prepare well, take risks, learn from failure, and follow where the Spirit leads.  Listen to more episodes in the What's Brewing series. Download the transcript. Thanks 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.

Sarah's brainstorming her camp plans for this summer, and she just might solve climate change single-handedly. We learn about "dopamine sites" in Asia, where people can pretend to shop or order food to get a hit of dopamine, but they're not actually buying anything. And we have a theory that it's not what it seems (sPoOoOkY!). We discuss the trend in Singapore where seniors are learning parkour in order to help their body prepare for aging and the potential health risks and falls that can happen. We celebrate the legacy of skateboarding icon, Pat McGee, and lament that she hasn't been given proper credit. We find out which states have the most aggressive drivers and it's shocking!00:00 - Fired for Publicity: A Challenge Reunion?02:25 - Heatwaves, Wildfires, and a Family Tradesy09:49 - Simulated Shopping and the Data Farming Theory14:18 - Too Famous for Jeopardy, Not for Celebrity20:52 - Singapore Elders Prevent Falls with Movement33:30 - Celebrating the First Female Pro Skateboarder50:44 - Road Rage Hotspots and Why We're Angry54:37 - Temperature Manipulation and Sports Betting Ethics59:55 - Thank You and How to Support the PodcastBrain 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 our code BRAINCANDY for an exclusive 20% off.Let Rocket Money help you reach your financial goals faster.

Sarah is headed off to camp, and she plans for her mission to fight littering and reminisces about the worst "plague" year at camp. We hear about terminal lucidity, where caregivers report dementia patients "returning" to their normal selves just before death, and how it relates to near-death experiences. We learn the science behind why Moana Mania is sweeping the nation, and the reasons why children are obsessed with watching the movie. Scientists eavesdropped on people and learned shocking details about the way we live, communicate, and behave, and how it's different from 20 years ago. Plus, some surprising info they learned from the study about cancer patients, kids with asthma, and why people sigh (!).00:00 - Sarah's Camp Mission and Personal Anecdotes08:53 - Exploring Terminal Lucidity and Near-Death Experiences25:38 - The Truth About Longevity and Aging Research37:24 - The Science Behind Moana's Enduring Popularity46:43 - The Eavesdropping Study on Declining Conversation56:17 - Eavesdropping Reveals Health and Communication Patterns01:00:25 - Navigating Life with Intentional Brain 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:This episode is sponsored by BetterHelp.

We discuss Sarah's algorithm and why it's feeding her lavender marriages, and we debate their merits. We discuss the Presbyterian church debating whether to let their clergy be in polyamorous relationships. Sarah names some of the rules and courtesies the Washington Post says apply to people going on group vacations. Susie seems to be mad about power banks for some reason, so we have to hear about that. We discuss the documentary If You're Happy And You Know It, on musicians who write songs for children, and we learn why kids are the wildest fan base, the traits of a song that helps make it stick with children, and why dancing is so important for little ones. We consider what makes an addiction an addiction, and Susie wonders whether we're all addicted to something.00:00 - Welcome to the Brain Candy Podcast00:23 - Debating Non-Traditional Relationships and Church Rules05:12 - Essential Rules for Group Vacation Rentals14:29 - Susie's Frustration with Uncharged Power Banks19:35 - Navigating Shared Spaces on Group Vacations27:01 - The Wiggles and Kids' Love for Movement35:32 - Exploring Compulsions and Reward Pathways in Life39:07 - Casper Baby Pants and Baby Shark's Origin47:47 - Michigan Bill Protects Young Entrepreneurs50:35 - Support the Show and Join Our CommunityBrain 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://airdoctorpro.com and use promo code CANDY to get UP TO $300 off today!

Sarah is back from the Windy City, and boy are her arms tired. Susie's whole body is tired because she had to lead a cat rescue operation. We discuss the Bang My Box documentary about Robin Byrd's New York cable access show in the 80s, and how she was a gay icon and advocate, but got spooked by the internet. We learn why Burning Man was in distress over Covid, why white people love the festival, and why we wish there was a Burning Man for nerds. We hear about a fella who cut off his member and set his neighbor's house on fire. We learn why there are far more shellfish now than there used to be. And we get a shocking update about the mountain climber who left his girlfriend in the Alps to die of hypothermia, and what happened when he was tried for negligent murder.00:00 - Sarah's Windy City Adventures and Toy Story 5 Review06:26 - Susie's Wild Cat Rescue and Pet Parenthood14:56 - Exploring the Provocative 'Bang My Box' Documentary22:11 - Sarah's Glowing Review of OneSkin Skincare24:03 - Unpacking Burning Man's Allure and Controversies33:53 - Thanking Donors and Lottery Pool Last Call35:54 - Unbelievable Headline: Penis, Garage, and Fire39:17 - Octopus and Squid Now Classified as Shellfish43:19 - The Tragic Alpine Death and Climber's Trial01:01:50 - Supporting the Show and Joining the Candy 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 up to 65% off your order, head to https://veracityhealth.co and use code BRAINCANDYGet 15% off OneSkin with the code BRAINCANDY at https://www.oneskin.co/BRAINCANDY #oneskinpodTDM-RESERVATION: 1.

Susie is throwing a party and would like you people to start RSVP-ing. Do people think that is optional?? We try to figure out why Sarah dated so many narcissists and we decide whether that's why she likes Susie (lol). We learn about a new job at a dating company that we think we would crush--Chief Break-up Officer, who breaks up with people on behalf of someone. What. Sarah asks a really thought-provoking question: what was the last CD we ever bought, and we can't quit thinking about it. And we debate what age it is when someone "officially" becomes an adult.00:00 - Defying Cancellations and the Frustration of RSVPs11:53 - Discovering New Artists with SoFar Sounds Experiences15:39 - Applying for the Chief Breakup Officer Role25:09 - The Loss of Ownership in Digital Purchases34:59 - Exploring the True Age of Adulthood and Brain Changes49:46 - The Struggle for Healthy Choices in Modern Society01:00:57 - Thank You for Listening and Supporting the ShowBrain 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 60% off your first order, plus free shipping and free treats for life, when you head to https://www.smalls.com/braincandyDownload HILY Dating App from the App Store or Google Play, or visit https://hily.go.link/4iJ1lLet Rocket Money help you reach your financial goals faster.

Sarah renamed her dog, and we are so excited about our new mascot. Susie found out baseball stadiums and the playing field all have different dimensions and we hear which stadium is the hardest to be a batter. We learn about a woman who convinced rock musicians to let her make casts of their, uh, special instrument, if you know what I mean. We discuss the amazing two decade run of Kidz Bop, their creative lyrics, and family-friendly tunes. Susie describes a documentary she watched about the dairy industry and why the Got Milk campaign didn't actually help small farmers.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 order PLUS get a free item in every box for life when you go to https://www.hungryroot.com/braincandy and use code braincandyThis episode is sponsored by Betterhelp.

We discuss a woman who was caught by customs with 57 turtles taped to her body and the reasons one might do that. We find out why some people think all Cheez-Its are not created equal. Hear why poop might be the key to good health and metabolism might be the key to curing mental illnesses (all of them!). We hear about the green tattoo Sarah's dog has, why she has it, and why Sarah wants one now too.00:00 - Luna's Border Collie Attachment Style Revealed05:46 - Woman Caught with 58 Smelly Turtles17:59 - Why 'Let's Zoom Out' Fails Upset Sports Fans23:06 - Europeans Go Crazy for American Ranch Dressing31:07 - Fecal Transplants for Neuroplasticity and Mental Health36:27 - Sarah Wants a Matching Dog Spay Tattoo 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:Download HILY Dating App from the App Store or Google Play, or visit https://hily.go.link/4iJ1lGet 15% off OneSkin with the code BRAINCANDY at https://www.oneskin.co/braincandy #oneskinpodGet $10 off your first month's subscription and free shipping when you visit https://nutrafol.com and enter promo code BRAINCANDYTDM-RESERVATION: 1.

We revisit the most shared New York Times article by a woman who trains animals (and husbands). We discuss Sarah's new dog and her efforts to teach a new dog old tricks. Susie gives an update on her trivia night debacle where she was ROBBED (but it's FINE). We hear why Sarah is obsessed with Love Island. We learn why less than 50% off cultures mouth kiss romantically, but we're not buying it. We discuss the artist who got exclusive rights to the "blackest black" paint and how an artist who made the "pinkest pink" got revenge. And we find out about a woman who saved a crow and got many gifts in return.00:00 - Kicking Off Episode 1026: Sarah's Favorite Yet01:25 - Applying Operant Conditioning to Husbands and Animals03:11 - Positive Reinforcement and the Challenges of Dog Ownership13:24 - Sarah's Extensive and Seasonal Overalls Collection16:30 - Susie's Trivia Victory and Calling Out Cheaters25:40 - Diving Deep into the Wild World of Love Island37:36 - Debunking the '54% Don't Kiss Romantically' Claim47:20 - HBO Documentary on a Cult of Beautiful Models52:35 - The Petty Art Battle Over Exclusive Paint Colors56:49 - A Woman's Kindness to a Crow Rewarded with Gifts01:04:49 - Final Thoughts and Podcast PlugsBrain 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 BRAINCANDYTDM-RESERVATION: 1.

Susie went off on people with misophonia out of nowhere. Sarah teaches us about "analog rules." We discuss the insane documentary, Maternal Instinct, where a woman pretended to be pregnant and then kills a pregnant woman and steals her baby. We learn how this happened and discuss how the medical professionals who knew she couldn't be pregnant claimed they couldn't alert anyone because of HIPPA rules. We find out why young people are growing out their bushes, and we are not sure we support this. Maybe a little bush maintenance would be a nice compromise? An Amazon worker was delivering a package when he was confronted with his own lost cat at the home of his neighbor (who had stolen it), and after he took his cat back he was fired. We find out how climate change is affecting animals, and it turns out, we're not the only ones who are sweating our balls off.00:00 - Why Toy Story's Message of Imagination Matters03:14 - From Space Analogs to Personal Growth and Cozy Comfort15:18 - Gen Z's 'Bush in a Bikini' Trend and Pubic Hair Debates27:58 - The Amazon Driver Who Found His Lost Cat at a Delivery34:57 - Unraveling the Web of Lies: Maternal Instinct Documentary Part 142:35 - The Horrific Fake Pregnancy, Murder, and Baby Theft59:18 - HIPAA's Role and the Bystander Effect in a Tragic Case01:01:49 - Climate Change's Effect on Behavior and Episode TakeawaysBrain 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.

We're belatedly celebrating America's birthday, and reminiscing about the bicentennial furniture craze of 1976. Susie read the book Into Thin Air about the 1996 Everest tragedy where many climbers perished, and the unintended consequences of the book. We discuss the Mel Robbins' book, Let Them, and the allegations that the idea was "stolen" from a viral poem, and we find out why certain things are not covered by copyright rules and intellectual property limits. We talk about the lawsuit between Patagonia and a drag queen named, Pattie Gonia, where the company is having to protect their trademark, but is inspiring ire from the TikTok community who are defending their queen. We hear why Japanese women are calling for the men in their country to be as committed to contributing to the domestic labor as they are at soccer stadiums where they've gotten a lot of attention for cleaning up after games. We giggle about dads who don't know the details about their children's lives. And we learn some fun facts about album titles.00:00 - America's Bicentennial and Furniture Style Trends03:11 - Our New Family Member: Luna Louise Adoption Story08:17 - Jon Krakauer's Everest: Egoism and Altitude Sickness29:30 - Mel Robbins' "Let Them": Idea Theft and Copyright42:59 - Trademark Battle: Patagonia Company vs. Drag Queen53:03 - World Cup Clean-Up vs. Japanese Domestic LaborBrain 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 braincandyThis episode is sponsored by Betterhelp.

We're thinking about how when we do a reality tv show, we get suspended in time, and no matter how much we do in our lives we'll have to relive the same moments and have to defend ourselves over and over again. And we consider how that affects us. We get an update on the lady who married a *checks notes* ghost pirate (??). Apparently, things aren't going great. Sarah is excited all over again about birds that love to make video calls. We find out why the loneliest whale, Timmy, who beached and was stuck on the shore became a viral sensation and people who wanted to help probably made it worse. We learn about robotic tails (!) that are being used to help people who struggle with balance, but we aren't so sure it's worth the embarrassment of wearing a gee dee tail.00:00 - Defending Your Past Self from Reality TV14:42 - An Update on the Ghost Pirate Marriage Story25:51 - New Research Shows Birds Benefit from Video Calls31:11 - Well-Intentioned Humans and the Loneliest Whale36:22 - Dealing with Black Bears in Residential Areas43:26 - Japan's Robotic Tails for Balance and Stability50:54 - Personal Health Journey, Aging, and BMI MisconceptionsBrain 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:Download HILY Dating App from the App Store or Google Play, or visit https://hily.go.link/4iJ1lVisit https://www.carawayhome.com/braincandypod to take an additional 10% off using code BRAINCANDYPOD on your next purchase.TDM-RESERVATION: 1.

Please be aware that this content is not suitable for young children. George Carneal grew up in the '70s, raised by a Southern Baptist minister in the ultra-conservative Bible Belt where his world revolved around the church, country fried chicken and trying to fit in with other boys. As disco music pulsated through the speakers in his bedroom, he plotted his escape from the misery and boredom of Southern suburbia before landing in Los Angeles; a city of glitz and hedonism. Much like Alice as she traveled through the looking glass, this is George's journey through a queer culture fantasyland filled with drag queens, drugs and dangerous situations before discovering healing, joy and peace in Christ. In this episode, George, author of the book From Queer to Christ, shares his painful journey through a secular world at odds with homosexuality, in addition to a religious world that is hostile to homosexuals. He is hopeful that sharing his story through the eyes and mind of a confused child dealing with a same-sex attraction will give some insight into the pain and difficulty of navigating those two worlds. After 25 years of living as a gay man God brought him out of that lifestyle and into His glorious truth. His story will help parents of children of all ages understand how best to influence them for God, as well as teens and adults who are struggling with the LGBTQ agenda in their own lives. George says that he wrote the book for three reasons: To give Christians insight into what it's like for someone dealing with same-sex attraction and their struggle with faith To give hope to parents who have children in the LGBTQ lifestyle To give LGBTQ individuals who are struggling with this lifestyle to understand that there's a different narrative and that they are being lied to and expose those lies and find peace and give them hope George has been out of that lifestyle for almost 17 years now and has a passion to help others learn the truth. Through his testimony he wants others to know that deliverance from bondage is possible and there is hope in Christ. Resources Scripture references: My sheep listen to my voice; I know them, and they follow me. – John 10:27 For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind. – 2 Timothy 1:7 George's book, From Queer to Christ and website GeorgeCarneal.com Have questions?
