Susie hasn't been this happy since we found out Luigi Mangioni's name thanks to the Coldplay cheaters on the kiss cam. We discuss how it's not the crime, but the cover-up once again that got them into trouble. We debate which concerts are cheater concerts, whether it's ok to make fun of people like them who go viral, and what we think will happen to them now. We talk about the Amy Bradley Is Missing documentary, the insanity of cruise "law" and security, and what we think happened to this woman who disappeared mysteriously from a cruise ship. Sarah explains why young people need more "little treats" than previous generations, and for once Susie defends younger generations. Plus, we hear about the Gilgo Beach Long Island serial killer's family, why they can't accept that he killed people despite the overwhelming evidence pointing to him.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 $10 off your first month's subscription and free shipping when you go to https://nutrafol.com and enter the promo code BRAINCANDYThis episode is sponsored by BetterHelp.

Trump’s new religious liberty order isn’t just a policy shift—it’s a cultural permission slip. In this episode, the guys lay out why now is the most strategic time in a generation to start a business, plant a church, or build something that lasts. With 10,000 baby boomers retiring a day, and the Overton window swinging wide open, Christians have a window to reclaim territory our apathy gave away. We break down how to seize this moment without waiting for permission, what faithful entrepreneurship looks like in a post-COVID economy, and why the church must stop outsourcing courage. Don’t waste this presidency. Don’t wait for “someday.” The time to build is now. Fight Laugh Feast 2025 Conference (October 16-18, Nashville) - Register HERE: https://flfnetwork.com

Send us a textWhat happens when men are finally given permission to explore their full emotional range? In this eye-opening conversation that concludes episode 212 with Lee Povey, we delve into the hidden emotional landscapes that many men navigate alone, often without the tools or language to understand their experiences.The discussion challenges fundamental misconceptions about emotions, particularly for men. "There is no negative emotion," Lee explains. "An emotion is just telling you about your experience." This perspective invites listeners to reconsider how we view feelings like anger, fear, or sadness – not as weaknesses to overcome, but as valuable information about our lived experiences.We explore the fascinating paradox of modern masculinity: men are simultaneously criticized for expressing certain emotions while being told others are unacceptable. This creates an impossible situation where many men retreat behind emotional walls, protecting vulnerability with anger or detachment. The conversation delves into how evolutionary responses to perceived threats continue to shape male behavior in ways that no longer serve us in contemporary society.The transformative power of men's groups emerges as a beacon of hope throughout our discussion. These spaces provide opportunities for men to be truly seen and understood, often for the first time. As Lee shares from his extensive experience facilitating these groups, "When men can come to a group and let go of that mask... it can be easier for them to connect." The simple recognition that one's struggles aren't unique can be profoundly healing.Whether you're a man seeking better understanding of your emotional life, someone who loves a man struggling with connection, or simply curious about how emotional intelligence develops across genders, this conversation offers valuable insights.

There are just a few major hurdles to overcome...

In this episode of All Things Wildfire, host OP Almaraz sits down with Brad Sawyer and Robert Clemmons of Marsh & McLennan Agency to unpack the growing urgency of wildfire resilience. Together, they explore practical home hardening strategies, the power of community collaboration, and the often-overlooked complexities of the insurance claims process after a wildfire. Listeners will gain insight into how homeowners can take proactive steps to reduce risk, better understand their insurance policies, and improve their chances of recovery post-disaster. The discussion wraps with a strong call to action—resilience isn't optional, it's essential. Show Notes Highlights: Wildfires as Wake-Up Calls: Recent wildfire events have highlighted the urgent need for communities to act before disaster strikes. Home Hardening Musts: Learn how features like ember-resistant vents, non-combustible materials, and defensible space can dramatically reduce wildfire risk. Insurance Gaps & Misconceptions: Many homeowners are unaware of what's actually covered—understanding your policy is critical. The Claims Process: Why documentation matters and how being unprepared can delay or reduce your claim. The Role of Community: Fire resilience goes beyond individual homes—neighborhoods that collaborate are safer. Preparedness is Prevention: Investing in wildfire prevention today means fewer losses tomorrow. Education is Lacking: Despite growing threats, awareness and understanding of wildfire preparedness remain low. Key Takeaways: Wildfires should be a trigger for action, not reaction. Home hardening and defensible space are foundational to fire resilience. Don't wait until disaster hits—document home contents now. Know your policy. Know your risk. Community-wide strategies are the future of wildfire prevention.

What happens when pet sitters take the leap into retail? Morgan and Austin Weber, owners of Lucky Pup Adventures, share how they purchased and now run Woofs and Waves, a beloved community pet store in Sioux Falls. They dive into the differences between managing a service business and a retail space, including inventory, staff training, and community outreach. They reflect on their complementary strengths and how they divide responsibilities for long-term growth. They also share how they're staying intentional about values, culture, and customer experience while preparing for potential future expansion. Main Topics Transitioning from service to retail Staff training and team culture Community outreach and partnerships Inventory and product selection Preparing for business growth Main takeaway: “You don't have to know everything about everything—you just need the right people passionate about the right things.” Running a business—especially in the pet industry—can feel overwhelming. From inventory and client care to marketing and employee training, there's always something new to learn. But the truth is, you don't need to be an expert in it all. What matters most is building a team where each person brings their strengths and passions to the table. When your fish lover geeks out over tanks and your dog nerd knows every ingredient in your food aisle, magic happens. Hire well, empower your people, and let their passion lead the way.

In this short episode, I am sharing a bit about a recent girls' weekend getaway! It was only 30ish hours, but it reminded me how important it is to reconnect with myself, my friends, and the woman I am outside of motherhood. If you've been waiting for the “right time” to plan that getaway or dinner, consider this your nudge: Put it on the calendar, even if it's just for a day, because you matter too, mama.

2 Chron 26:1-28:27, Rom 13:1-14, Ps 23:1-6, Pr 20:11

After years working at various breweries and hosting their own craft beer podcast, Chelsea Rhoads and Liz Hess finally decided to take the plunge and buy a brewery.  The pair, who co-host the Body By Beer podcast, acquired Denver's Berkeley Alley Beer Company earlier this summer and have put their own spin on the beloved local spot. They joined Brewbound managing editor Jess Infante for a conversation about why now was the time to become brewery owners and how they plan for Berkeley Alley to be a community gathering hub. The brewery, which opened as De Steeg before being sold and rechristened Berkeley Alley in 2021, has a four-barrel brewhouse, which Hess runs.  “We get a chance to really play and learn and really get our feet wet, so I'm looking forward to that,” she said. “I'm not saying it's not scary times, as far as expense goes, because it is, right? But we think that we can push people to come in and expand that by offering more than just beer.” Ahead of the interview, Brewbound senior reporter Zoe Licata chats about the latest headlines, including Boston Beer's tale of two teas and the Brewers Association's midyear survey results. Plus, she details a recent taproom visit that blew her away.

Martha is participating in the program and shares with us what it entails and why she thinks the program is so special and different from any other programs out there.If you are looking to support our military, consider sponsoring a woman veteran so that she can receive the support she needs to participate in The Better With Horses program and heal from all the trauma she has experienced in the military. You can donate through The Horse Project website or the Paralyzed Veterans of America. Please specify that you are donating to sponsor women veterans. I'll share both links below.https://www.thehorseprojectsantabarbara.com/https://pva.org/If you are on the fence and not totally sure that you buy into the magical energy of the horses, sign up to volunteer at The Horse Project Santa Barbara and feel it for yourself.
