Susie's shirt sparked a whole conversation about Ayn Rand, red flag books, Catcher in the Rye, incels, back-to-school hauls, PacSun jeans, the great jeans/genes scandal, and Lauren Sanchez. And none of it was planned. So buckle up. We debate whether/how we can regulate adult content online to limit its exposure to children without compromising free speech and ushering in a surveillance state, and well, we get nowhere. We find out about a UK drug lord whose undoing came from an unlikely informant, and it taught us why you should never trust someone with an unusual pet. We learn how much birds are pooping, and we're not ok. And scientists found out which type of music mosquitoes hate, and let's just say Susie feels vindicated.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.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Susie found out that the lesbian community has a real affinity for fingers, and she might have what they're looking for, but she wonders if the gays are keeping secrets about their romantic ways. We learn about a man who announced his intention to do assisted suicide, but asked people to invite him to dinner beforehand. We find out how his dinner tour is going, why mental health experts are not impressed with him, and why he might abandon his original plan. We discuss an all-women commune and find out why they forbid men, how they arrange their community, and why it's so popular. Susie talks about the new documentary about the Yogurt Shop Murders, and how the film shows the ripple effect of violent crime in families and communities, and why it extends beyond crimes's victims.

Today on Too Opinionated, we sit back down with author Mark Harris to get an update about his book, House of the Holy. A true story that will shock you. This is an unprecedented story of one man's survival in his struggle against the power of the Federal Government, State Government, the extreme right, the religious right, the mob, and the cult of Freemasonry. It is extremely well documented and focuses on unholy alliances and the strangle hold religion and money have on politics and law enforcement. It exposes a legacy of hate and corruption in the religious right and Freemasonry. The colorful cast of often cartoonish characters is compelling and will shock and entertain the reader. It includes a federal convict engaged in a life of crime while local state and federal authorities run around in circles cleaning up after him, George W. Bush's former attorney, the son of a mobster who was a known associate of Santo Trafficante Jr., the son of the racist doctor who chose the first astronauts, former Governor Rick Scott, the US Acting Assistant Attorney General and future Acting Attorney General, and parade of religious leaders willing to commit crimes to protect a monster, and many others.  Buy House of the Holy here: https://trineday.com/products/houses-of-the-holy-a-nightmare-web-of-hate-crime-corruption-and-child-abuse   Want to watch: YouTube Meisterkhan Pod (Please Subscribe)

Canadian Super Star entrepreneur, Sleep Country Canada Co-Founder Gordon Lownds entered the literary world with a bang. with his new memoir, “Cracking Up” - from rising star to junkie despair in 1,000 days available now wherever books are sold. At forty-eight Lownds was at the peak of his career, starting up what would become the billion-dollar enterprise, Sleep Country Canada.  Lownds began Sleep Country's journey with his friend and business partner Stephen Gunn and Christine McGee.  Life was good, better than good, what could go wrong.  Everything.  An ill-fated experimental use of crack cocaine in the seedy depths of Vancouver's Downtown Lower East Side quickly morphed into a raging, hardcore, shooting-up junkie experience.  How far does Lownds fall?   All the way and it isn't pretty.  Slinking through murky alleys in the infamous downtown lower east side of Vancouver, forced to endure the raunchy underworld, featuring drug dealers, hookers, bikers, blackmail, and death threats, OD's and drug busts, looking for his next fix– all while coping with a psychotic girlfriend.  So, yes this is a cautionary tale.  Addiction can happen to anyone, anytime, anywhere, anyhow. “There are no guarantees that we will ever come back from our bottoms alive.”  His adventures in rehab took Lownds on another type of revealing carnival ride.  Navigating an afterlife in the confounding recovery community produced its own unique challenges, exacerbated by suddenly becoming a multi-millionaire.…  Lownds keeps his demons at bay and life's journey continues.  “Cracking Up” is a shake your head, hold your breath roller coaster ride.  A full-blown, down-and-dirty, soul-destructing, and death-defying series of events that occurred in just 1,000 days, followed by a penitential pilgrimage that took years. A journey infused with tragedy, tempered by humor.  “Cracking Up” is a ride you don't want to miss.     Want to watch: YouTube Meisterkhan Pod (Please Subscribe)

A native of Wroclaw, Poland, Martin started his career as an international sportswriter, broadcaster and author, spending two decades covering NBA games and publishing two acclaimed books on basketball. It was during this time that he met the late Kobe Bryant, who encouraged him to follow his passion for performance. Inspired by that advice, and an obsession with classic films, James Bond thrillers, and the work of Robert De Niro, Martin began training as an actor in his 30s, studying intensively at the Stella Adler Theater and the Beverly Hills Playhouse. He officially made the leap to full-time acting in his early 40s and quickly built an impressive resume, appearing in hit series like Stranger Things (Netflix), The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel (Amazon), Better Call Saul (AMC), and Young Sheldon (CBS). His film credits include James Gunn's reboot of Superman, Amsterdam, The Gray Man, The Hunt, and Red Notice, where he played a prison tower sharpshooter. He's also recognized for his villainous turn as Lt. Nikolai Zybulski in TNT's post-apocalyptic series The Last Ship. In addition to his on-camera work, Martin does significant voice work for computer and video games, most notably as fan-favorite “Krueger” in the Call of Duty video game franchise. A lifelong rock music fan, he once fronted a heavy metal band in Poland called Army of Darkness. He's also an avid art collector, with a particular interest in South American contemporary art and 18th-century English portraiture.   want to watch: YouTube Meisterkhan Pod (Please Subscribe)

Sarah talks about a couple who started their own surrogacy company, but then just used it as a cover for them to have 21 children, and now authorities are investigating how they were able to get away with this insanity for so long. We learn that some families are more likely to produce boys vs girls or vice versa, and that the men in the family (well, the sperm) are the part of the equation that influences the sex of a person. And we discuss the eight babies born in the UK with three biological parents and how the combination allows children to overcome a genetic abnormality that would likely happen if they only had two biological parents. And despite this great news, Susie sees some trouble up ahead by having three people have a genetic link (and custodial right?) to a single child.

And we learn the fascinating downsides to going back to "normal" after living with mental illness.

The FBI has just declared there is no Epstein client list. For millions of Americans across political lines, this strains credibility—and raises serious questions, not the least is about the FBI's own discussions of the Epstein 'list'. Nick Bryant, a former reporter, knows this story very well, having worked with the original team who first broke the story. He has written books about the mindset and underground network that fuels such activities, such as in college sports and other industries, as documented in The Franklin Scandal. He helped found Epstein Justice, to bring resources to the victims of the Epstein empire. Is the FBI's recent declaration a betrayal of public trust as well as known facts? Nick Bryant thinks so.  Nick Bryant's writing has recurrently focused on the plight of disadvantaged children in the United States. He's been published in numerous national journals, including the Journal of Professional Ethics, Journal of Applied Developmental Psychology, Journal of Social Distress and Homelessness, Journal of Health Care for the Poor and Underserved, and Journal of School Health. He co-authored America's Children: Triumph or Tragedy, addressing the medical and developmental problems of lower socioeconomic children in America. Bryant is the author of The Franklin Scandal: A Story of Powerbrokers, Child Abuse, & Betrayal. He has also contributed a chapter on child trafficking to Global Perspectives on Dissociative Disorders: Individual and Societal Oppression, a book addressing various facets of dissociative disorders. He is the co-author of Confessions of a DC Madam: The Politics of Sex, Lies, and Blackmail. His mainstream and investigative work has appeared in USA Today Magazine, Playboy, Salon, The Twin Cities Reader, Vanity Fair, New York, GEAR, Gawker, the Scheer Post, and other publications too ignominious to mention. He is the host of The Nick Bryant Podcast.

A former MMA fighter turned actor, Jason brings raw physicality, razor-sharp discipline, and deep emotional grit to his breakout role as Tony, a cold and calculating orderly whose sinister presence will haunt viewers long after the credits roll. Based on King's bestselling novel, The Institute is set inside a secret facility where gifted children are held against their will—and Jason's chilling performance as a manipulative enforcer is one of the show's most powerful surprises. It's his darkest and most demanding role yet, showcasing the fierce energy and layered subtlety he's fast becoming known for. A first-generation Canadian of Portuguese descent, Jason grew up in a working-class Toronto family and trained seriously in combat sports before making a late pivot to acting at 21.

Paul Berkowitz is the nation's leading authority on the history and evolution of law enforcement in the National Park Service (NPS). He has served as an expert witness in federal court, and as a guest instructor at the Federal Law Enforcement Training Center. He is the author of several books about NPS law enforcement, and continues to write and serve as an instructor and guest speaker at police academies, colleges and universities, and seminars across the country. A recent report by CBS News cites that as federal policies and staffing levels rapidly change in the name of government efficiency, park and historical sites across the United States are in jeopardy of losing out on important federal protections. The National Park System Advisory Board was quietly dissolved in May. Across the entire National Park Service, 13 percent of employees were pushed out since January, a loss of up to 3,000 workers. With nearly $1 billion in budget cuts to the National Park Service proposed for next year, national parks advocates estimate 350 additional historical, cultural or natural sites nationwide are at risk of closing. Add to this dilemma, the fact that park staff was already reduced and overworked before the Trump Administration cuts began. Paul uncovered a fascinating history of crime and crime-fighting in our national parks and forests that goes back over a century. His research and writing have served to debunk many of the popular myths about the “ranger image,” shedding light on the critical law enforcement role that rangers have long played in our national parks and other public lands. Much of this research was first chronicled in his seminal book, U.S. Rangers – the Law of the Land (CAT Publishing, 1991 – 1995).  Paul's career was also distinguished by his role as a whistleblower, reporting, writing, and even testifying before a Congressional subcommittee about government corruption, up to and including illegal bugging activities and cover-up of high-level management misconduct. Some of those events and activities are chronicled in his award-winning book, The Case of the Indian Trader: Billy Malone and the National Park Service Investigation at Hubbell Trading Post (University of New Mexico Press, 2011).* Paul's third book, Legacy of the Yosemite Mafia – the Ranger Image and Noble Cause Corruption in the National Park Service (Trine Day LLC, 2017) draws upon much of his previous research, writing, and personal experience to expose and demonstrate how the failure of the NPS to acknowledge or appreciate its actual history – both good and bad – has undercut credibility, alienating impacted individuals and communities and ultimately impeding the agency in the fulfillment of its statutory mission.   Want to watch: YouTube Meisterkhan Pod (Please Subscribe)

With over four and a half decades of experience in broadcasting, branding, and digital marketing, Paul Larche has built a remarkable career at the intersection of innovation, leadership, and community impact. Beginning as a young radio announcer in Northern Ontario, he steadily advanced through on-air and executive roles. In the 1990s, Paul became General Manager of Telemedia Network Radio in Toronto, where he oversaw national broadcasts for iconic franchises like the Toronto Maple Leafs and the Blue Jays. Driven to push the boundaries of traditional media, Paul founded Larche Communications Inc., transforming a visionary startup into a major media force with five radio stations and a thriving branding and marketing agency. Under his leadership, the company pioneered forward-thinking strategies in both radio and branding, culminating in successful strategic sales to Rogers Media and Bell Media. Decoding How We Think This isn't just a book about branding—it's a guide to the hidden operating system behind human behaviour. The Divided Brain introduces a simple yet powerful metaphor rooted in neuroscience: our minds are driven by two distinct but interlocking systems—the fast, emotional Old Brain and the slower, rational New Brain. Every decision your customers make, every instinct your team follows, and every reaction you encounter in a negotiation or pitch stems from the constant tension between these two mental gears. Once you learn to spot which brain is in control, the fog lifts. What once seemed irrational becomes understandable. Sudden client reversals, hesitations in sales calls, or why one brand sticks while another flops—it all starts to make sense.   Want to watch: YouTube Meisterkhan Pod (Please Subscribe)

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.

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.

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.
