A popular outdoor brand somehow thought it was a good idea to set off an elaborate, polluting firework display and we are not impressed. We learn why doofuses are strapping iPads to tortoise backs. Sarah explains what "distance self-talk" is and why it can be helpful or hurtful depending on how you use it. We talk about a "very haunted" hotel that has very strict rules about pranks, and since Susie hates pranks, she's on board. We debate the "correct" way to cut food and we learn why Susie is stressed about doing it wrong. Susie explains her rubric for what makes a one-hit-wonder, and hear why a lot of people are very sensitive when they learn an artist they happen to like only had one hit (we're looking at you Oasis fans). Plus, there's a college football program that is known for taking ridiculous player photos, and their new coach put a stop to it.

Genre-blending pop-soul artist Lily Lane makes her much-anticipated return with “Reciprocation.” Blending vintage soul textures, razor-sharp pop sensibilities, and raw, confessional lyricism, “Reciprocation” stands as a bold new chapter in her ever-growing body of work and a can't-miss release from one of music's most exciting rising voices. A Boston native now splitting her time between New York and Los Angeles, Lily first broke out as a teen on national tours, opening for Big Time Rush (selling out the House of Blues in her hometown) and Cody Simpson, while quickly finding herself in the orbit of the 2010s pop elite. After graduating with honors from the Clive Davis Institute of Recorded Music at NYU, Lily signed with Wilhelmina Models, came out as bisexual, and emerged as a bold voice for body positivity, female empowerment, and LGBT+ representation. Music runs in the family. Lily's older brother, Tucker Halpern, is one half of the Grammy-nominated electronic duo SOFI TUKKER. Like her brother, her music has earned many sync placements across major platforms, including Netflix, HBO Max, Peacock, and Bravo, bringing her soulful, cinematic sound to screens across the country. Lilly's sophomore EP Queen of Hearts dropped in Fall 2022 and her third EP, Love, Lily Lane, arrived in Fall 2024 as a genre-spanning concept record written during her engagement and released in the lead-up to her wedding. Its lead single, “I Do,” is a soul-infused acoustic love song praised by top bridal blogs as a perfect first-dance track. Now, with “Reciprocation” serving as an auspicious preview into her next chapter, including her upcoming EP, Domesticated, with her signature blend of powerhouse vocals, confessional songwriting, and stylized visuals, Lily Lane's not just dropping songs. She's setting the scene.   Want to watch: YouTube Meisterkhan Pod (Please Subscribe)

When a flash flood destroys her family's burrow, Aurora must face the pain of loss and then rebuilding as she confronts her sensitive nature. She meets a loving Javelina who is sensitive too, and other animals who share lessons about kindness, self-care, and healthy boundaries. Based on Dr. Judith Orloff's teachings on the gifts of sensitivity, this captivating story shows us all how to live with dignity, empathy, and joy.

Sarah was having the time of her life in the creepiest national park that may or may not have alien life. We learn about a horse who died under mysterious circumstances and how a cult got started nearby. And we hear about her experience at a hot spring in her area that freaked her out and made her foot feel like it was on fire. We learn about a flesh eating maggot that is threatening America's lifestock, and it's making us wonder if Paul McCartney was right all along about eating meat. We learn why tennis is the best sport to play for overall health and longevity. And we debate the use of GLP-1s by Serena Williams, and the reason Susie is confused about why her coach wanted her to lose weight in the first place.Brain Candy Podcast Presents: Susie & Sarah's SpOoOoOoOoktacular Spectacle, October 30, Oriental Theater, Denver, Colorado: Get your tickets!

Geoff Gilson is a retired lawyer, development consultant, and political strategist and speechwriter. He began his career crafting speeches for Margaret Thatcher and leveraged his dual British-US citizenship to navigate elite political circles. With decades of front-row access to senior UK and US officials, Gilson served as a key operative for the British Conservative Party, gaining unparalleled insight into global power structures. His book, Maggie's Hammer, is a meticulously researched and gripping exposé that unravels a complex web of money laundering, arms deals, and political collusion, that leads all the way to connections between Donald Trump, Jeffrey Epstein, Margaret Thatcher, and Vladimir Putin. Gilson's 30-year investigation traces covert operations from the Iran-Iraq War to Russian financial schemes, revealing covert ties to Robert Maxwell, Israeli Intelligence, and the Russian Mob.  On one side, MAGA loyalists are laser-focused on the Russia “hoax,” demanding accountability from Hillary Clinton, James Comey, John Brennan, and others they believe orchestrated a coordinated effort to kneecap Trump's presidency. On the other side, the mainstream media and Trump's fiercest opponents are pouring energy into the Jeffrey Epstein scandal, a labyrinth of abuse and influence implicating elites across finance, politics, and culture. At first glance, these two narratives look like the personification of a political cage match, each side weaponizing its own “third rail” issue for political advantage. But Gilson argues they're not separate stories at all. They are two faces of the same beast. Behind the headlines, he sees overlapping power structures—shared interests among intelligence agencies, global financiers, and political dynasties—that profit from distraction, division, and the erosion of public trust. Both scandals, he says, reveal a deeper bipartisan rot that neither party wants fully exposed.   Want to watch: YouTube Meisterkhan Pod (Please subscribe)

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)

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)

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)

A zoo wants you to know that if you have any "unwanted" pets that they'll take them off your hands and feed them to their predators, which is weird? A doctor might've killed a patient through music, and we think it's sad, but also the game he was playing sounds really fun.

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. The company that "brought" back an extinct wolf is at it again, and we think they're up to no good. But more importantly, why are we saying more than one goose is geese, but more than one moose isn't meese? Huh?
