This episode, Eamon & Merlin talk Real Housewives of Potomac, where Ashley's housewarming presents the perfect setting for some of her classic pot stirring. Also, the newest episode of Real Housewives of Salt Lake City that has required a therapy session to recover from the rap stylings of Lisa Barlow. Then, they talk Real Housewives of Beverly Hills where the Vegas trip wraps with cowboys, conflict, and Sutton's friendship with Kyle coming to a close. And finally, Real Housewives of Miami where Larsa wins the Award for The Worst Handling of a Friends Cancer News, an award we never thought possible. We are Eamon and Merlin, a queer married couple from Texas living in Pittsburgh, PA. We love reality television, wrestling, drag queens, and pretty much anything that can be called even kinda gay. A Gay & His Enby is a podcast where we talk about everything we love in terms of media and pop culture; everything thats gay and gay adjacent; basically all the conversations we have in our living room we are now putting in front of a microphone and on the internet for you.

In a “POST TRUTH” society, it can be hard to determine if what you are watching is the actual truth.  In reality TV, documentary filmaking, and even the so-called "news", truth is not always a sacred value.      But in my world, nobody would be surprised to hear me say, the truth is hard to discern.    But, many presume that those who advocate for the accused and convicted do not seek the truth.  In my experience, particularly in the sentencing world, it's the government that has no concern for the deeper truth of the case and client.   I read sentencing memos from the government describing defendants I do not recognize.  I listen to some callous judges pronounce sentences against defendants and I don't know who they are talking about.    So how do we get to the real truth at SENTENCING?  I can make a credible case that my passion, video sentencing advocacy, is the TRUEST form of legal advocacy there is.  It gives the decision maker a front row seat to the client's story, her demeanor, her credibily, and her sincerity. It's objectively verifiable if the interviews and editing are done properly.    Perhaps most importantly, unlike any other form of media, the lawyers who engage in this process are bound by the rules of ethics.  There are no ethical standards in journalism, reality TV, or regular documentary filmmaking.    Therefore, how cool is this?  Helping us get Set For Sentencing is Debbie Levin, a long-time Hollywood creative professional who has spent most of her 18 years in the world of Reality Television, working on shows we've all lovingly binged, including the Real Housewives of OC/NJ, Top Chef, and many more.  We had a GREAT conversation around the truth about truth!   In this episode:   Is legal filmmaking true? What's the difference between “literal truth” and “emotional truth”? The inside scoop on reality TV (including the “Bethany Frankel Clause”); How even nature documentaries, supposedly unvarnished views into the natural world sometimes lie for entertainment value; The wonderful world of “frankenbyting” which we reality shows can do, but legal documentaries cannot (and the greatest example of all time from the Simpsons); The very best advice for telling the truth of your clients' stories.   LINKS:  Just what the hell are "sentencing mitigation videos" anyway?  Wanna see one?  Here's an example from a case I worked on involving the plot to kidnap the governer of michigan:   https://youtu.be/AOhOY3uuvRQ?si=ikj47EHiqsNy9d7P   I referred to a New York Times "Op Doc" that was made about the work that I do producing "sentencing mitigation videos".  Here is the link to see that piece, called "No Jail Time, the Movie"   https://www.nytimes.com/video/opinion/100000005581635/no-jail-time-the-movie.html -

After encouraging Sarah to avoid playing the lottery, Susie became a hypocrite by going all in on the Powerball frenzy sweeping the nation. But instead of admitting her lack of morality, Susie persuades Sarah to join the fun. And we make big plans for our winnings. Sarah reveals why until fairly recently, people were grinding up mummies and using them to make artwork and some people even ate them because of a misinterpretation of an ancient text. Oops! We discuss why TikTok trends are often based on faulty science, misrepresentations of studies, and plain old lies. We hear the origins of Rock, Paper, Scissors, and it was surprisingly not born out of boredom. Sarah watched the Golden Bachelor, and despite her ten seasons of reality tv experience, she is outraged that the show is somewhat staged and highly produced. Will her new favorite widower find love? Not if producers keep setting unreachable romantic standards, she says! We discuss the bedbugs in Paris and why it's not helping their hygiene reputation.

Reality television is a genre of television programming that documents purportedly unscripted real-life situations, often starring unfamiliar people rather than professional actors. Reality television emerged as a distinct genre in the early 1990s with shows such as The Real World, then achieved prominence in the early 2000s with the success of the series Survivor, Idols, and Big Brother, all of which became global franchises.[1] Reality television shows tend to be interspersed with "confessionals", short interview segments in which cast members reflect on or provide context for the events being depicted on-screen; this is most commonly seen in American reality television. Competition-based reality shows typically feature the gradual elimination of participants, either by a panel of judges, by the viewership of the show, or by the contestants themselves.

We discuss how concussions and injuries from the ice, the difficulties of competing, and the pressure on young athletes contribute to mental health concerns for the skaters. Susie thinks there's still time for Sarah to become a competitive bobsledder, but Sarah isn't so sure. We hear about the man who created the famous and calamitous "disco sucks" event at the professional baseball game in 1979, why the organizer regrets it, and how the people who stormed the field might have something in common with the January 6 insurrectionists. We discuss a study that shows why sleeping with your partner's clothing could help you sleep better even if you're not aware it's theirs. Susie describes what it's like to work a suicide hotline, why a lot of people call who are looking for love, friendship, or romance, how the operators assess risk, and why it's a thankless job. We laugh about Sarah's inability to "wind down" on a phone call and how she realized she has a very annoying habit in social settings.

Sarah is still obsessing about predator animals. She has developed a real affinity for polar bears and thinks lion dads are really not pulling their weight. They have manes and a roar, and that's about it. They're all hype! But it was great to hear that according to her, cats are great and dogs are "nasty." We discuss whether learning more about animals makes us more or less likely to be vegetarians. Elephants are smarty pants and walruses are, and I quote, "f*cking idiots." Sarah talks about the military jet that went missing and her theory about what really happened. But she was shocked to hear that the pilot made a 911 call and he didn't sound upset that he was EJECTED from the jet. We laugh about the "alien" they discovered in Mexico and then we get worried that we're going to look like real a-holes if they find out this thing actually is an alien or as Sarah thinks "is from another dimension." We learn why Gen Z does not want to be criticized at work and they don't even want "feedback," so now managers are reframing the messages by calling it "feedfoward." After we lost our minds about how stupid this is, we discuss how they say it's because they don't want to live in the past, but Susie points out that this is hypocritical since all they ever want to talk about is their past "trauma."

Susie gives a report on the Super Models documentary and the cultural moment that supermodels represented in the 80s and 90s, how they discuss aging, and why Susie is critical of younger models. It even inspired one of Susie's famous hot takes where she criticizes a nepo baby who "can't walk." We learn about the woman who was hired to fix Airbnb's party problem and programmed an algorithm to sniff out whether people are going to throw a party at the house. We discuss the recent study that found that patients of female surgeons have more favorable outcomes and we theorize why that might be. We debate why anyone would want a male OB-GYN, and how even TSA agents take liberties with their "authority." Susie discusses a scholarly article on why French people were not into personal hygiene and how the stereotype about them is apparently true or at least was far into the 1900s. Sarah, however, is very defensive because she is a stinky woman and thinks Susie should give the French a break. We learn how men muscled women out of surfing, why the sport is changing slowly, and how Sarah had a secret surfing career.Join our Candy 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:Go to https://www.greenchef.com/60braincandy and use code 60braincandy to get 60% off plus free shipping!Get $30 off the first box - PLUS free Croissants in every box - when you go to https://wildgrain.com/braincandy to start your subscription!Control Body Odor ANYWHERE with @lumedeodorant and get $5 off off your Starter Pack (that's over 40% off) with promo code BRAINCANDY5 at https://lumepodcast.com! #lumepodMore podcasts at WAVE: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/artist/wave-podcast-network/1437831426See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
