We keep planning our reunions, and they never pan out, and it might result in an impromptu Brain Candy meetup. We hear why women in leadership roles are criticized at a much higher frequency than their male counterparts and for more superficial reasons (big surprise). We discuss a new policy at a restaurant who won't let anyone under 30 inside. Hear why a paralympian was disqualified from the games for a tattoo, and we're furious. We get tattoo placement tips from our resident expert, Sarah. And we hear from a sound recordist who spent 30 years recording the noise in a certain location only to hear it become less natural and more industrial.

Sarah is showing what can happen when you put yourself out there and we're here for it. We debate whether a baseball player who is banned from the sport should still be eligible for the Hall of Fame (aka Pete Rose). Sarah begins on one side of the argument, but Susie persuades her to change her mind. We discuss the Karen Carpenter documentary that shows what led to her death by eating disorder, how her family dynamic played a role, and why disordered eating is a spectrum of severity. We talk about the guy who smoked 800 cigarettes in 6 minutes, and why the Guinness Book of World Records disqualified him, and we hear about other odd record holders who defied death. We celebrate the baseball player who recently played for BOTH teams in the same game, and how that was able to happen. And we learn about the first woman to qualify for the Indianapolis 500, and why sexism cause her to leave the sport.

Susie's 30 for 30 journey continues with the documentary about Dude Perfect, the YouTube sensations (and megahit) who specialize in trick shots and other sports spectacles. We hear how they got started, how they were able to harness their virality, and what it's really like creating content as a full-time job as middle-aged men. We hear the latest science on patients with brain damage, and how researchers realized that a significant number of them have cognitive "awareness" despite being considered vegetative or minimally conscious by the traditional bedside tests. We discuss the questions about their methodology and speculate about what we would want to happen if we were in that position. Susie talks about Michael Oher, who is the Black high school football star who was taken in by a white, wealthy family portrayed in the Blind Side film (made famous by Sandra Bullock's Oscar performance), and his lawsuit against the family. He claims they exploited him and profited off of him without compensating him. We debate the merits of his case and the claims made against him by the author of the book on the subject and what the family has to say. We hear about Poland's innovative technique for monitoring the contaminants in their water supply, and how they are relying on animals to alert them of any concerns.

Sarah is getting emotional about her water polo resurgence, and wants you all to do something to challenge yourself. We discuss how she didn't take advantage of her rich ex-husband, and how next time she should have a little more fun. We talk about the surgeon general, who has been giving advice about self-care, wellness, and other more abstract mental health techniques, and receiving criticism by people who think he should focus on non-mental health. And we debate whether that's the role of a governmental official and what he should do instead. We find out about a philosophical debate about whether blind people who develop sight can recognize objects they've only ever felt once they can see. And now, thanks to modern scientists, we have the surprising answer!

Susie had a magical birthday thanks to a serendipitous meeting with one of her favorite people on the planet. Plus, she got her wish to own an accordion! We try to figure out why Sarah hates traditional music (allegedly). We discuss the viral sensation and Olympic unlikely athlete, Australia's b-girl who broke the Internet with her breaking. Is she an inspiration or a problem? Sarah reminisces about a woman who found a loophole to get onto an Olympics' ski team. Susie recounts the infamous piece of scholarship that claimed women used to be treated for "hysteria" by doctors wielding, how should we say, personal massagers. Turns out this was a work of wishful thinking, but its popularity has perpetuated this myth despite the flimsy evidence supporting it. Susie wants to debate Sarah about whether companies should offer "menstrual leave" for people with periods in addition to sick leave, but it turns out they share the same opinion.

We learn about the strange coincidence Sarah experienced regarding an ex while she was at camp, and the hilarious way she handled it. We got an update on Sarah's water polo (for grownups) league she's in. And even though historically she's gotten a lot of crap for strapping on a swim cap, but no more, she's bound for world record attempts. We find out why public pools are closing, and what we lose when pools don't exist. We revisit the viral story of a woman who threw a burrito at the Chipotle worker and was punished with a sentence of working at a fast food joint. We learn whether that consequence was impactful or too lenient, and we debate the virtues judges assigning "creative" styles of justice. Sarah confesses the worst thing she did during her marriage.

We're discussing the boy band documentary, Dirty Pop, which details the exploitation of teen hearthrobs, and we discuss the reasons why girls have different fandom behaviors than boys. We talk about a 30 for 30 where a football player creates a persona to handle the press and get attention, but the line between identity and brand are blurred to big consequences. We find out what people dream, how much they dream each night, and why men and women dream about different things. We find out how one woman discovered she can smell diseases, why she doesn't tell people when she smells an illness they might not know they have, and how science can use her gift. Plus, we hear what it's like caring for someone with dementia, and how a tribe in Colombia helped determine a clue about what can protect us from getting the disease. We discuss what it's like growing up gay in conservative churches, and how one boy grew up to make movies that tell stories of queerness despite his religious upbringing.

Sarah is hoping high heels don't come back in style because she has to work on her toe spread. We discuss. We hear how hundreds of nuns were able to show the secret to a healthy brain, and we learn why your vocabulary could predict your likelihood of cognitive issues. Sarah joined a queer water polo team for "seniors," and we are psyched that she's going to find her soul mate in the deep end. We discuss whether sports have become "whiny," and why people treat referees and umpires disrespectfully. And we wonder whether we should rely on robots for regulations instead. We celebrate all the joy, victory, and athleticism at the Paris Olympics. We find out what the "normal" amount of friends people have in adulthood and why it's hard to find people you trust. Plus, we learn why Yellowstone's number one killer isn't a wild animal or even cliffs, but something far stranger.

Apparently there is a den of thousands of rattlesnakes in Colorado, so Sarah is freaking out, and we think rattlesnakes are publishing propaganda to help their reputation. Steve Jobs was a weirdo with a very strange method for relieving stress. Susie talks about an aggressive football program that was accused of being "thugs," and we debate whether it's bad sportsmanlike conduct or a great strategy to win. And we hear why Notre Dame made it seem like playing against them was good vs evil. Susie describes the Miracle on Ice from the Russian point of view, and why they were not impressed with the U.S.A.'s victory in the 1980 Olympics. We find out about an infamous pizza box, and try to find out who made it and why its origins are so mysterious. We discuss a woman who survived a skydiving accident, how she managed to avoid death, and why she doesn't want it to define her.

Sarah is keeping up her New Year's resolution of stretching, but it turns out she needs some strength to go with it because her physical therapist says she's like a combination between the tin man and Gumby. Susie had a run in with a pigeon and she is not happy about it. Bald eagles have a great publicist because despite what they put in the movies, these guys sound like little sea gulls and ducks. National Parks are getting more dangerous due to climate change, so Sarah is giving advice for how to stay cool, stay safe, and still get out in nature. Susie will be inside. We hear why Missy Elliott was sent to Venus. Sarah describes her incredible camp romance record, and why she has what it takes to find love in the woods. We learn about an app that will text you to pretend you have a girlfriend. And a woman claims after she changed her race on a dating app more men were interested.

Susie saw an interview with Charles Manson's son, and wanted Sarah to explain why he was so forgiving of his dad. Susie gave a pep talk about the USA and why you shouldn't be despondent about the state of our country, despite what you might feel, after watching a documentary about North Korea. We learn about an Asian phenomenon of malaise and isolation among young people and why the government is working to treat it through a happiness factory that helps parents relate to their kids. Susie recounts a scandal with the Duke lacrosse team where they were wrongfully accused of assault, and how the media, political ambition, and stereotypes perpetuated it. We hear why dance is a fundamental human act and how dancing can produce empathy, growth, and connection.

Sarah says she might want to be alone forever, but will this peaceful moment be forever? Sarah explains why communal tables are back in style, but Susie is not impressed. We hear why Sarah's worst date ever involved a case of mistaken identity and dirty fingernails. Plus, did you know Sarah's had ringworm. Now you do. We mourn our quirky king and queen Richard Simmons and Dr. Ruth, and explain why weirdos are the best. We discuss the gamification of, well, everything, why we always fall for it, and why capitalism is stealing the fun of actual games from us. Plus, Susie loses her mind about men who are "raw-dogging" on airplanes and "aura-maxxing" instead of being useful and helping people.

Susie describes two documentaries about the complexities, risks, and problems with sperm donation, and explains why some men are trying to father as many children as possible and how the mothers and babies are the ones who experience the consequences. We learn about a "protest" in Boston where people fought for the metro system to put googly eyes on buses, and the unexpected outcome they caused. Mattel is making their games color-blind accessible, so now everyone can experience the joy of screaming UNO! Susie finds out the true story of cocaine being in the original Coca-Cola recipe, how it happened, and the racist reasons for why it was removed. We hear about a documentary on the Columbine tragedy, and why the mother of one of the shooters is speaking out about mental health, parenting, and violence. We find out which player is supposedly depicted in the NBA logo, why it is controversial, and why it's still mysterious after all these years. Life coaches are getting rich consulting people on how to get their ex back, and Sarah is not happy about it. Plus, we hear why scientists think elephants call each other by name.

We got to have a meetup in real life, and it was magical, except for a disastrous restaurant dining experience where we felt like we were on a Challenge and were force fed disgusting food. We talk about how social media is influencing the photos we take, the memories we make, and the ways it affects our lives. Sarah is trying to overcome her fear of rodents, and a breed of giant rats that scientists have trained to save lives is helping her with her phobia. We hear why Nick Cannon has insured his...family jewels, and why it might not be a bad idea. Sarah explains why some people think AI will provide prison simulations as punishment for real crimes, and we debate whether that's ethical or even possible. We discuss a phenomenon called concert amnesia that prevents people from remembering emotional experiences due to the way they affect our brains, and we're mad about it.

Susie talks about the new docuseries, Six Schizophrenic Brothers, which is an accompaniment to the book we read in Candy Club, Pleasant Valley Road, about a family of twelve siblings in which six of them have that mental illness. We talk about how their disorder manifests, why it "scares" Susie, and what we can learn from them. We hear that a Mexican church is selling plots of land...in heaven, and why we think we might buy some. Susie describes the Celine Dion documentary, her Stiff Body Syndrome diagnosis, and why we think she has the brain of an addict. We learn about a study on "inner voices" and how not everyone has one and what it means for their brain function. We discuss the logistics of Olympic food prep, and how they can cater to 15,000 athletes and their nutritional, cultural, and personal culinary needs during their time in the Village. Susie explains the inner workings of her ear worm affliction, and how it relates to Elvis. Plus, we learn why bananas and doner kebabs are the secret to life?

Sarah is going solo camping, so she's preparing to fight man and beast by herself. We discuss how reality tv never was what it seemed and there were always interventions from producers to make the show "more interesting." And we're talking to Emily Nussbaum about her book, Cue the Sun: The Invention of Reality TV, to learn more about it all! Sarah explains a lot about the remains of Lucy, but in case you were like Susie and assumed she meant the comedic actress, you'd be wrong. She's talking about the archeological specimen. We hear why Lucy is hairless and how we know. Plus, we find out way more than we even wanted to about lice.

Susie is still laughing about Sarah's technique for scaring off bears, but turns out, Sarah isn't wrong. We hear about the problem bear she's about to encounter at camp. We discuss how men are animals at sporting events, but also how "sports anthems" are created. We find out why Sweet Caroline, Livin on a Prayer, and Don't Stop Believing became ubiquitous at games despite having nothing to do with them. Denmark had to outlaw spicy ramen because they thought it was a public health risk, and we debate whether that was necessary. We learn about the science of illusions through the eyes of birds, why certain tricks do and don't work on birds, and why our thumbs have something to do with sleight of hand and the success of a magic trick...

Sarah is so happy to be home owner (except for all the things that break, go wrong, and cost money)! She's adulting hard today. We learn about astronauts who are stranded at the International Space Station and Sarah is probably panicking more than them or the person responsible (Elon Musk). And she explains how their situation reminds her of being on The Real World. Hear us out. We discuss "music frisson" and why some music gives us the chills, makes us cry, and affects us, and whether this has an evolutionary origin. We reminisce about our month in Brazil and why it's a reminder to "say yes" to life. Sarah celebrates a girl who circumnavigated the globe in a sailboat by herself at 14 years old, and learn the reason why Guinness World Book of Records won't give her an official title of youngest person to do that.

Susie's back in the New World, and has a mysterious illness caused by a mystery creature. Her medical anomalies never stop. Sarah is back from a pirate ship adventure where she fought the law and the law won. We discuss the controversial documentary, Tell Them You Love Me, about a scholar who was working with a non-verbal, developmentally disabled man with cerebral palsy who claims they are in love despite him not being able to communicate. We learn about a bear attack in someone's home! A woman was dragged from her bed and killed by a bear who had been stalking her for months. She must not have known Sarah's "trick" for getting rid of bears that sounds suspiciously like Yogi Bear talking to his pal Boo-Boo.

Sarah's breakup has gotten dirty, and Susie is livid. Thoughts and prayers to that man. We discuss the Jim Henson Idea Man documentary, the price of changing the world and what you lose if you're ambitious, and how his childhood may have had a hand in his demise. We debate a new Louisiana law that allows judges to require castration to convicted sex offenders. We hear about a woman who was fined $88,000 for accidentally collecting clams on a beach, and why we decided not too feel too badly for her. We find out about a percussionist for the SNL band who mysteriously disappears during the opening monologue, and some people want to solve the mystery and get "justice for Valerie Dee Narenjo," and it's hilarious. Plus, a man gets back at his HOA after they force him to put up a fence to hide his boat, and we love a petty neighbor.
