Today we discuss the hit Netflix docu-series, The Keepers, which details the unsolved murder of Sister Cathy Cesnik and sexual abuse allegations at the school where she taught. Our conversation is inspired by the series, and the many themes it brings up including sexual abuse, religion, secrets, shame, and even gender. We talk a lot about the women featured in the film, and their tireless efforts to advocate for the sexual abuse survivors as well as the work towards solving Sr Cathy's murder. We talk to the filmmaker, Ryan White, about how he got involved in this story, and why he is drawn towards strong women. Trigger warning for sexual abuse survivors.Listen to more podcasts like this: https://wavepodcastnetwork.comRead this week's Newsletter: https://mailchi.mp/thebraincandypodcast/128-130Join 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.

Then we tackle the controversy about a high-schooler who is not allowed to walk at graduation because she is pregnant. We talk about the recent "body-shaming" of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. Finally, we hear from a listener who thinks we should stop using words like fat, bigger, and skinny-fat, and should only use words like "curvy" to refer to larger women. Listen to more podcasts like this: https://wavepodcastnetwork.comRead this week's Newsletter: https://mailchi.mp/thebraincandypodcast/125-127Join 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.

Toady we delve into reality TV (AGAIN!). Susie is in a fight with a producer, and she can't hold back about it any more. We discuss the most scandalous hookups on The Challenge (spoiler: Sarah makes the list several times). There's a new Challenge pregnancy cooking that we reveal. Sarah goes on and on about Southern Charm and her weird obsession with the Real Housewives franchise. But the best moment, by far, is when Sarah mistakes Al Bundy for Ted Bundy. If you have a dog, you should definitely try the WAG app we talked about in this episode, which is like the uber of dog-walking! It is awesome (and Sarah's dog Sigmund agrees). Download the app and let us know what you think of it.

Susie has a lot of things on her mind, and wants Sarah to weigh in. Find out the best way to get men to regret complimenting you. There's a theory that the worst thing a woman can do is to agree with compliment that a man offers. Sarah examines her private messages to see if she's getting hit on by men. Sarah reveals why she believes she will never be kidnapped. We discuss the unscientific theory about what happens when there are three men in a pickup truck (spoiler: catcalling). Sarah cries from laughing so hard during the show, so that's fun. We learn about the weird accent people used to have in black-and-white movies, and why it's hard to tell where the actors were from. We talk about a study that examines why Americans smile so much, and why they have broader smiles than other countries. Speaking of smiles, Susie is obsessed with an article she read about dentistry and how it represents wealth and class. It's fascinating--trust us! Sarah is obsessing over the documentary Mommy Dead & Dearest--holy smokes, this is some creepy stuff.Listen to more podcasts like this: https://wavepodcastnetwork.comRead this week's Newsletter: https://mailchi.mp/thebraincandypodcast/125-127Join 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 get totally nerdy after Susie attended a Neil DeGrasse Tyson talk and wanted to impart all my newfound wisdom and scientific musings with the Brainiacs. We discuss the magic of the Periodic Table, the beauty of being able to ask a good question, and put our existence in the universe into perspective. In honor of our nerdiness, we asked our friend Science Mike to join us to talk about his book Finding God in the Waves. He is a super smart fella and he is also a faithful man, so he talks about how he balances his faith with his intellectualism. 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.
