    Left-handedness, Monsters of God, & The Industry of Ice

    Sarah got Susie amazing birthday gifts, and you all are going to be very jealous! We learn the science of left-handedness, why it's still so mysterious, and what makes it so exceptional among animals. We discuss the new Monsters of God docuseries, which covers the reptile and snake trade, smuggling, and the ways the criminals are in cahoots with zoos. We find out the history of the ice industry, and learn why it is so dang fascinating, what affects business that you'd NEVER expect, and why it should be treated like water and electricity in terms of its role as a public utility.

    Flight Nightmare, Fresno Airport, & Simon Says

    Sarah is still in her Camp Era, and that includes giving us tips on nobody's-favorite-game, Simon Says. She is ruthless. We discuss why kids still get homesick sometimes when they're at camp, but now counselors are noticing that parents are "kid-sick," and have separation anxiety while their kids are away. Sarah offers an ADHD life hack that she created after becoming obsessed with the camp salad bar. Susie is just amazed that she's rolling the dice eating lettuce during a national parasitic outbreak. We discuss a funny Jimmy Kimmel clip that made Susie think about sunken cost fallcy and the plasticity of our minds. We learn about a man whose window on a flight broke, depressurizing the plane, and sucking his head outside while his wife had to hold on to him. Sarah rants about the price of margaritas at the Fresno airport, which is not a relatable story, but is hilarious. 00:00 - Susie's Red Lips and Wild Stories Ahead 00:44 - The ADHD Friend Who Disappears and Reappears 02:27 - The Challenges of Kids' Medications at Summer Camp 08:33 - Sarah's Simon Says Trick for Managing Feral Campers 10:22 - How Technology is Ruining Camp Independence 19:58 - Sarah's ADHD Life Hack: The Refrigerator Salad Bar 23:45 - Processed Meats and Post-Camp Health Check-up 29:01 - Bewitched, Simpsons, and Mom's Onion Remedies 30:29 - Jimmy Kimmel, Placebo Effect, and Brain's Weirdness 35:32 - Surviving a Flight Nightmare and Expressing Airline Rage 47:06 - Apologies to the Dodo: Not Dumb, Just Misunderstood 52:44 - Outrageous Margarita Prices at Fresno Airport 53:50 - Join Patreon, Use Codes, Leave a Five-Star Review 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/streams Brain Candy Podcast Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/braincandypodcast Host Susie Meister Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/susiemeister Host Sarah Rice Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/imsarahrice Brain Candy Podcast on X: https://www.x.com/braincandypod Brain Candy Podcast Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/braincandy (JOIN FREE - TONS OF REALITY TV CONTENT) Brain Candy Podcast Sponsors, partnerships, & Products that we love: Visit https://www.carawayhome.com/braincandypod to take an additional 10% off your next purchase.

    Usher Concerts, Impaled Hiker, & Super K Lottery

    It's Susie's birthday and she joined AARP and is pretty stoked about her trunk organizer. Sarah is rolling the dice on eating lettuce when the stakes are pretty high these days. We learn why dogs do that weird circular positioning thing when they have to poop, and the reason researchers can't figure out why they do it. We discuss a Super K employee who was fired and sued by the company after he bought a winning lottery ticket from the store. We talk about an Usher concert where a woman got uncomfortable after being brought on-stage, and why he is now on our list of potential problem celebs. We hear about a man who was impaled on a hike, walked 10 miles with the pole in him, and survived. We discuss the bear infestation and how Sarah needs to be more prepared.

    Dopamine Sites, Elderly Parkour, & Skateboarding

    Sarah's brainstorming her camp plans for this summer, and she just might solve climate change single-handedly. We learn about "dopamine sites" in Asia, where people can pretend to shop or order food to get a hit of dopamine, but they're not actually buying anything. And we have a theory that it's not what it seems (sPoOoOkY!). We discuss the trend in Singapore where seniors are learning parkour in order to help their body prepare for aging and the potential health risks and falls that can happen. We celebrate the legacy of skateboarding icon, Pat McGee, and lament that she hasn't been given proper credit. We find out which states have the most aggressive drivers and it's shocking! 00:00 - Fired for Publicity: A Challenge Reunion? 02:25 - Heatwaves, Wildfires, and a Family Tradesy 09:49 - Simulated Shopping and the Data Farming Theory 14:18 - Too Famous for Jeopardy, Not for Celebrity 20:52 - Singapore Elders Prevent Falls with Movement 33:30 - Celebrating the First Female Pro Skateboarder 50:44 - Road Rage Hotspots and Why We're Angry 54:37 - Temperature Manipulation and Sports Betting Ethics 59:55 - Thank You and How to Support the Podcast 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/streams Brain Candy Podcast Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/braincandypodcast Host Susie Meister Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/susiemeister Host Sarah Rice Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/imsarahrice Brain Candy Podcast on X: https://www.x.com/braincandypod Brain Candy Podcast Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/braincandy (JOIN FREE - TONS OF REALITY TV CONTENT) Brain Candy Podcast Sponsors, partnerships, & Products that we love: Head to https://cozyearth.com and use our code BRAINCANDY for an exclusive 20% off.

    Moana Mania, Terminal Lucidity, & Eavesdropping

    Sarah is headed off to camp, and she plans for her mission to fight littering and reminisces about the worst "plague" year at camp. We hear about terminal lucidity, where caregivers report dementia patients "returning" to their normal selves just before death, and how it relates to near-death experiences. We learn the science behind why Moana Mania is sweeping the nation, and the reasons why children are obsessed with watching the movie. Scientists eavesdropped on people and learned shocking details about the way we live, communicate, and behave, and how it's different from 20 years ago. Plus, some surprising info they learned from the study about cancer patients, kids with asthma, and why people sigh (!). 00:00 - Sarah's Camp Mission and Personal Anecdotes 08:53 - Exploring Terminal Lucidity and Near-Death Experiences 25:38 - The Truth About Longevity and Aging Research 37:24 - The Science Behind Moana's Enduring Popularity 46:43 - The Eavesdropping Study on Declining Conversation 56:17 - Eavesdropping Reveals Health and Communication Patterns 01:00:25 - Navigating Life with Intentional Brain Engagement 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/streams Brain Candy Podcast Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/braincandypodcast Host Susie Meister Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/susiemeister Host Sarah Rice Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/imsarahrice Brain Candy Podcast on X: https://www.x.com/braincandypod Brain Candy Podcast Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/braincandy (JOIN FREE - TONS OF REALITY TV CONTENT) Brain Candy Podcast Sponsors, partnerships, & Products that we love: This episode is sponsored by BetterHelp.

    Group Vacations, Kids Music, & Addiction

    We discuss Sarah's algorithm and why it's feeding her lavender marriages, and we debate their merits. We discuss the Presbyterian church debating whether to let their clergy be in polyamorous relationships. Sarah names some of the rules and courtesies the Washington Post says apply to people going on group vacations. Susie seems to be mad about power banks for some reason, so we have to hear about that. We discuss the documentary If You're Happy And You Know It, on musicians who write songs for children, and we learn why kids are the wildest fan base, the traits of a song that helps make it stick with children, and why dancing is so important for little ones. We consider what makes an addiction an addiction, and Susie wonders whether we're all addicted to something. 00:00 - Welcome to the Brain Candy Podcast 00:23 - Debating Non-Traditional Relationships and Church Rules 05:12 - Essential Rules for Group Vacation Rentals 14:29 - Susie's Frustration with Uncharged Power Banks 19:35 - Navigating Shared Spaces on Group Vacations 29:42 - The Wiggles and Kids' Love for Movement 35:32 - Exploring Compulsions and Reward Pathways in Life 43:35 - Casper Baby Pants and Baby Shark's Origin 50:27 - Michigan Bill Protects Young Entrepreneurs 53:16 - Support the Show and Join Our Community 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/streams Brain Candy Podcast Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/braincandypodcast Host Susie Meister Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/susiemeister Host Sarah Rice Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/imsarahrice Brain Candy Podcast on X: https://www.x.com/braincandypod Brain 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 15% off OneSkin with the code BRAINCANDY at https://www.oneskin.co/BRAINCANDY #oneskinpod TDM-RESERVATION: 1.

    Burning Man, Shell-less Shellfish, & Alpine Update

    Sarah is back from the Windy City, and boy are her arms tired. Susie's whole body is tired because she had to lead a cat rescue operation. We discuss the Bang My Box documentary about Robin Byrd's New York cable access show in the 80s, and how she was a gay icon and advocate, but got spooked by the internet. We learn why Burning Man was in distress over Covid, why white people love the festival, and why we wish there was a Burning Man for nerds. We hear about a fella who cut off his member and set his neighbor's house on fire. We learn why there are far more shellfish now than there used to be. And we get a shocking update about the mountain climber who left his girlfriend in the Alps to die of hypothermia, and what happened when he was tried for negligent murder. 00:00 - Sarah's Windy City Adventures and Toy Story 5 Review 06:26 - Susie's Wild Cat Rescue and Pet Parenthood 14:56 - Exploring the Provocative 'Bang My Box' Documentary 22:11 - Sarah's Glowing Review of OneSkin Skincare 24:03 - Unpacking Burning Man's Allure and Controversies 33:53 - Thanking Donors and Lottery Pool Last Call 35:54 - Unbelievable Headline: Penis, Garage, and Fire 39:17 - Octopus and Squid Now Classified as Shellfish 43:19 - The Tragic Alpine Death and Climber's Trial 01:01:50 - Supporting the Show and Joining the Candy  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/streams Brain Candy Podcast Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/braincandypodcast Host Susie Meister Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/susiemeister Host Sarah Rice Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/imsarahrice Brain Candy Podcast on X: https://www.x.com/braincandypod Brain Candy Podcast Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/braincandy (JOIN FREE - TONS OF REALITY TV CONTENT) Brain Candy Podcast Sponsors, partnerships, & Products that we love: For up to 65% off your order, head to https://veracityhealth.co and use code BRAINCANDY Get 15% off OneSkin with the code BRAINCANDY at https://www.oneskin.co/BRAINCANDY #oneskinpod Head to https://airdoctorpro.com and use promo code CANDY to get UP TO $300 off today!  TDM-RESERVATION: 1.

    Adulthood Age, RSVP Rant, & The Last CD

    Susie is throwing a party and would like you people to start RSVP-ing. Do people think that is optional?? We try to figure out why Sarah dated so many narcissists and we decide whether that's why she likes Susie (lol). We learn about a new job at a dating company that we think we would crush--Chief Break-up Officer, who breaks up with people on behalf of someone. What. Sarah asks a really thought-provoking question: what was the last CD we ever bought, and we can't quit thinking about it. And we debate what age it is when someone "officially" becomes an adult. 00:00 - Defying Cancellations and the Frustration of RSVPs 11:53 - Discovering New Artists with SoFar Sounds Experiences 15:39 - Applying for the Chief Breakup Officer Role 25:09 - The Loss of Ownership in Digital Purchases 34:59 - Exploring the True Age of Adulthood and Brain Changes 49:46 - The Struggle for Healthy Choices in Modern Society 01:00:57 - Thank You for Listening and Supporting the Show 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/streams Brain Candy Podcast Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/braincandypodcast Host Susie Meister Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/susiemeister Host Sarah Rice Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/imsarahrice Brain Candy Podcast on X: https://www.x.com/braincandypod Brain 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 60% off your first order, plus free shipping and free treats for life, when you head to https://www.smalls.com/braincandy Download HILY Dating App from the App Store or Google Play, or visit https://hily.go.link/4iJ1l Let Rocket Money help you reach your financial goals faster.
