The Brain Candy Podcast

Today we are discussing a scandal that is rocking the world of magic. Apparently a magician is trying to steal the tricks from another magician. We discuss intellectual property and patents, and why it's hard being a magician, but how we don't know what to believe. Is it all an illusion?! We also rant about whoever the asshole is that broke up a child's lemonade stand, and fined them for running a business without a license. We also talk about a viral Twitter thread about what it's like to fly as an overweight passenger. We talk about the shame, frustration, and embarrassment that comes with being a larger flyer. Plus, we learn about the "butt bump phenomenon" that makes consumers uncomfortable when they're in stores and don't have enough space. We also get the chance to talk to Danny Goldberg who wrote the book In Search of the Lost Chord, which explores the magic of the Sixties. We're wondering if we can get back to the time in history when people felt they could make a difference through peace, love, and even music.Listen to more podcasts like this: https://wavepodcastnetwork.comJoin 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 on X: https://www.x.com/braincandypodSusie on X: https://www.x.com/susie_meisterSarah on X: https://www.x.com/ImSarahRiceSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Sarah recently watched the film "Do I Sound Gay" about the history, origins, and motivations behind the way gay men (in particular) talk. Is the "gay voice" even a thing, an affectation, or something gay folks are born with? We also discuss a recent emoji study about the way emojis act as language, and why linguistic scholars are debating their role. Plus, we talk about the English language and some funky things we never noticed. Why Disney makes their villains sound gay, and a prediction Sarah's mom made about her baby. Also, Susie has a bone to pick with Sarah.Listen to more podcasts like this: https://wavepodcastnetwork.comRead this week's Newsletter: https://mailchi.mp/thebraincandypodcast/141-142Join 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 on X: https://www.x.com/braincandypodSusie on X: https://www.x.com/susie_meisterSarah on X: https://www.x.com/ImSarahRiceSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Today's show is a mish-mash of so many topics. We start by talking about Susie's obsession with Guy Fieri's donkey sauce (this is not a double entendre). We then talk about if we were Chopped baskets what three ingredients we would be (there's wine involved). Sarah claims McDonald's warns their employees not to eat their food, and we talk about why Susie wishes should could eat it everyday. They also discuss a recent ranking of Challenge players, and Susie explains why she thinks she got ripped off. Also we talk about some crazy news we've read about that we can't believe. Listen to more podcasts like this: https://wavepodcastnetwork.comRead this week's Newsletter: https://mailchi.mp/thebraincandypodcast/141-142Join 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 on X: https://www.x.com/braincandypodSusie on X: https://www.x.com/susie_meisterSarah on X: https://www.x.com/ImSarahRiceSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

This episode covers so much! We start with a discussion on the Bachelor in Paradise returning, and the reaction people have about the controversial trailer. We then discuss the disturbing allegations against R. Kelly who is supposedly keeping women hostage in a sex cult. We also debate whether Beyonce's recent released pic of her with her new twins. Some Brainiacs think it's tacky, while others think she is a goddess and think the haters are just threatened by strong black women. We weigh in on that. But the best part of the episode is when Sarah's friend spotted a man taking a life-sized doll in a wheelchair on a DATE to the movies. And he even bought her popcorn. Swear. Finally, we air grievances about people we yelled at recently.

Hear about our trapeze lesson, and why Sarah is the quintessential adrenaline junkie (and how annoying it is to Susie). We answer a query from a listener who was accused of being a racist. We offer our take on the subject of whether it's racist to support a sports team that co-ops Native American culture (e.g. Blackhawks, Braves). Plus, we hear about a woman who breastfeeds her baby WHILE SHE HAS SEX with her husband. Finally, we talk about a woman who had a botched reconstructive breast surgery after a double mastectomy, and why we're upset about how she was portrayed on reality tv.Listen to more podcasts like this: https://wavepodcastnetwork.comRead this week's Newsletter: https://mailchi.mp/thebraincandypodcast/139-140Join 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 on X: https://www.x.com/braincandypodSusie on X: https://www.x.com/susie_meisterSarah on X: https://www.x.com/ImSarahRiceSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

We've been noticing a lot of cast members beefing on social media, and a lot of bullying on reality TV. Perhaps this is nothing new, but we felt there was a trend happening. We talk about the idea of "girls supporting girls," and whether we practice what we preach. We also explore the ways men and women fight differently, and why the difference is particularly pronounced on reality TV. Listen to more podcasts like this: https://wavepodcastnetwork.comRead this week's Newsletter: https://mailchi.mp/thebraincandypodcast/137Join 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 on X: https://www.x.com/braincandypodSusie on X: https://www.x.com/susie_meisterSarah on X: https://www.x.com/ImSarahRiceSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Hear our thoughts on the recent Teen Mom incident where a cast member was driving under the influence of Xanax.
