Podcasts about candid conversations

Sarah went camping with her family and it was predictably calamitous in the best way possible. We hear why kids don't ride bikes anymore, parents are chauffeurs, and why it matters. We talk about how much camp meant to Sarah growing up and then as a counselor, and we lament that tragedy in Texas at the Christian camp. Sarah explains why customer service is so bad now, why you shouldn't accept it, and what you can do about it. Plus, she describes a genius way we can band together and combat the "sludge" of customer service quagmires.0:29 - Sarah's planning something romantic.5:12 - The Rice family's calamitous camping trip.16:51 - Article: Kids are missing out on things we used to do all the time. 28:58 - Wes Bergmann told Sarah....30:42 - Susie and Sarah discuss the tragic Texas floods. 38:13 - They do it on purpose!

In this lively and often humorous discussion, the hosts take the “Can You Afford to Be a Socialist?” test, comparing the privilege of political figures—like a candidate who quit his job at 33 because his wealthy Hollywood parents could bankroll him—to their own middle-class upbringings and expectations. They explore generational attitudes toward independence, share personal stories about living at home to pay off debt, and reflect on how economic reality shapes ideology. Along the way, they touch on rising housing costs, student loan burdens, and the social dynamics of moving back in with parents. If you've ever wondered how privilege intersects with politics—or laughed about the idea of your parents funding your mid-30s gap year—this conversation is for you.

She reflects on her experiences in the entertainment industry, the impact of social media, and her role as a parent to a non-binary child.

We discuss cities that are overrun with tourists and the anger it provokes among residents, and we debate whether it's being handled properly, the reasons it's happening, and why Susie thinks it's not fair to people who want to travel. We learn about the Enhanced Games, which are similar to the Olympics, but allow--and encourage!--any and all performance enhancing substances, and incentivize record-breaking with cash prizes.

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

Susie's mom has been ill, and now she's on the mend, but she seems to have a bigger problem on her hands--namely an infestation of raccoons INSIDE her house. We talk about the doofus who sat his buns down on a Swaroski crystal chair at a museum and destroyed it. We discuss Barbara Walters, her ambition, and why she was kind of a jerk to women despite being a trailblazer at the same time. We debate whether we should start a "chichi chat," and why showing your body off to other women can be empowering. We hear about the lifelike dolls in Brazil that are making people mad, and how the women who collect (and play with) them are mocked, yet no one thinks its weird that men have similarly infantile and strange hobbies. And Susie lists several women who might be getting lots of credit for their business acumen when really their men are pulling the strings behind the scenes.3:06 - Peg's Raccoon Invasion8:17 - Identifying poop in the wild11:30 - Moron who sat on museum chair15:33 - reviewing the chari break video21:35 - If you like camping or have an RV, you should do this.23:39 - Barbara Walters Documentary "Tell Me Everything"27:50 - F**k you Barbara, and F**k you Ellen.29:53 - Hundreds of women meet for an online topless video "ChiChi" chat.

Susie has another new enemy this week and this time it's conflicting with her passion for oral hygiene. Sarah had to so sly vigilante justice this weekend when she saw some old creepers leering at women at the club. We discuss the Astroworld concert tragedy where ten people were crushed to death due to a lack of crowd control, poor planning, and too many people in the audience. We learn about the "right to repair" movement and how companies are being forced to provide information and parts to consumers who want to fix rather than replace their products. We talk about the history of the Michelin star system for rating restaurants, how it came to be, and why it's not as crazy as you think that it's the same company who makes tires.Listen to more podcasts like this: https://wavepodcastnetwork.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 on X: https://www.x.com/braincandypodSponsors:This episode is sponsored by BetterHelp.

A man lands in Dublin for a job interview. That night, in a hotel room, Jesus appears to him in a vision. The next morning, he stands weeping at a church gate, waiting for someone to explain what just happened.That's not fiction.

Send us a textIn this episode of Real Estate Development Insights, we explore a topic at the heart of every development conversation today: construction costs. Our guest, Marlon Bray, is a seasoned industry expert who recently transitioned from cost consulting into a more hands-on construction management role. With decades of experience in pricing, budgeting, and project execution, Marlon offers a candid and insightful look at the evolving landscape of construction costs in Canada. We've all heard the headlines—construction costs are falling. But is that good news? Not exactly. As Marlon explains, today's cost reductions are a symptom of deeper industry problems, not a sign of market health. The dramatic drop in activity, loss of trades, and market hesitancy have all contributed to reduced pricing, but at a hidden cost: a weakened development ecosystem and eroding long-term capacity. This episode breaks down the complex relationship between construction cost trends, municipal red tape, policy stagnation, and developer hesitation. If you're a builder, planner, or investor wondering when to re-enter the market—or trying to understand what the real cost drivers are—this episode is essential listening. Key topics we cover:Why construction costs are falling—and why developers should be cautious, not celebratory.The real reason thousands of shovel-ready units remain stalled.How planning delays and policy inconsistency drive up both risk and cost.The role of tariffs and taxes in inflating material prices.Why “cost” isn't just about dollars per square foot—it's about timing, approvals, and survival.Critical mistakes new developers make when estimating project costs.The long-term danger of talent loss and trade attrition due to stalled projects.For more information, please refer to RealEstateDevelopmentInsights.Com.

Sarah went to Vail Pride and is getting very emotional about her LGBTQ journey, the self-doubt she's grappled with, and her goal of self-acceptance. We explore why we're often hardest on ourselves and more accepting of others. Sarah talks about a study on rule followers, and we speculate about why people follow rules even when no one would know if they broke it. We discuss why procrastination can be about avoiding feelings that make us uncomfortable rather than the task itself. Sarah's plant stealing lifestyle continues, and she is having guilt about some *leaves* she picked up off the ground. We debate whether private companies should be allowed to "own" celestial bodies.Our Favorite Bits19:26 - Recent study finds that people might be more honest than we thought30:33 - "Someone's having a good time".

Send us a Positive Review!Series Title: In-depth Exploration of Patriarchy & its Correlation to Violence & Abuse [Part VIII of X]Join Val & Nathan as they respectfully lean into specific risk factors associated with formalized patriarchal religious institutions (including the LDS church) & how these vulnerabilities play out in very real ways.  They also explore how our children can eventually become safer as their caregivers become educated & reach a critical mass of light & knowledge about the harmful (even if unintended) consequences to many children raised within patriarchal homes & churches. **Please note, Val & Nathan are not implying that child abuse & violence are *inevitable* when their families and churches are patriarchal. They are simply unpacking all of the heavily researched data pointing to heightened risk factors associated with patriarchy and violence/abuse. Please, let us learn from the ample data & protect our children.Referenced in this Episode: Associated Press: Seven years of sex abuse: How Mormon officials let it happenSupport the showListen, Share, Rate & Review EPISODES Friday Episodes Annual Subscription $89 Friday Episodes Monthly Subscription $10 Valerie's Support & Processing Groups Donate: ⁠Venmo or Patreon⁠ Visit our Website

Hey friend

The More Sibyl Podcast Presents: 사랑, 순종, 그리고 상실| Fatherhood, Feminism, and Faith: A Candid Conversation — The One with Dr. Ikechukwu Okoro | Episode 20 (2025)What happens when your “common-sense advocate” friend—often (lovingly) accused of being a chauvinist—joins the podcast to talk gender roles? You get a rich, rowdy, and unexpectedly tender Father's Day conversation.In this special episode, I sit down with Dr. Ikechukwu Okoro (Or Aikay as I call him): physician, artist, and one of the oldest friendships I've kept since our NYSC days in Ibadan. Together, we explore the complex layers of ambition, masculinity, submission, grief, and family legacy.We dive into what happens when men marry ambitious women and later feel threatened by that ambition. Is ambition unbiblical? Can submission and purpose exist in the same household? We unpack these tensions with scripture, personal stories, and the Proverbs 31 woman as a backdrop. (Yes, there's a twist at the end.)Aikay challenges my views while sharing his own, particularly on why ambition should never come at the cost of family. He also opens up about the loss of his father and what it means to grieve without tears. His story is both a celebration of a legacy and a powerful reminder that there's no one way to mourn.This episode is a tribute to the fathers we've had, the ones we've lost, and the ones we hope to become. It's about choosing honest dialogue over easy answers. Whether you're navigating marriage, grief, identity, or calling, this one's for you.

Ever feel disconnected from your partner… but not sure how to fix it?You're not alone. Between mismatched desire, mental load, body image struggles, and awkward communication, intimacy often becomes one more thing on your to-do list, instead of a source of connection.In this episode, I'm joined by Vanessa and Xander Marin—licensed sex therapist and bestselling author duo behind Sex Talks and the Pillow Talks podcast.
