Sarah explains how men are weaponizing pooping, which is enraging. Apparently they hide in there to avoid being a good husband and dad. Susie has a laughing fit over the (not true) idea that Sarah might've had a hysterectomy because she ate too many ... more
Susie is very obsessed with the Kelly Clarkson/animatronic bird ordeal involving a Brooklyn toy store. Whose side are you on? We discuss the doomsday problem that all the rich will face where their veneers are going to need maintenance, but we're in ... more
Susie thinks people at the gym probably think she's a stripper. Sarah is ambivalent about SpOoOoOky Season. We learn about a robot recycling program where they're thrown into a lake of fire, and it sounds like a real waste of money, but it looks hila... more
Susie got to hang out with some other Rices, and it was glorious. Sarah started horse school, and she is loving it, but she doesn't think she can ever ride a horse again (!). Susie watched a documentary about a hotel that gives their guests dolls to ... more

I’m endeared to both hosts and their genuine friendship. It’s a nice, happy break with interesting knowledge drops

They also make chore time more fun - like getting the house clean while chatting with your bestie! I started listening in 2022 and in 2024 made the goal to get caught up on all their back episodes by the 1,000th episode. I ended up finishing a week late, so while I missed the mark and didn’t get to reward myself with a trip to the 1,000th episode party it sounded like a real blast! I... more
I’ve been listening to these amazing ladies for years now! 🫶🏻 I didn’t know anything about them before listening, but I quickly fell in love with their smart and witty personalities and best friend banter - the brain candy is an extra bonus for those that love to learn fun new things as much as I do! This is my comfort show and my favourite podcast. Today I received some difficult news and simply turning on the Brain Candy Pod in the car for the drive home helped the clouds part briefly for a ... more

A breezy, conversation-heavy show where two longtime friends banter about psychology, pop culture, science, and everyday life. Episodes mix personal stories with rapid-fire takes on current events, quirky research, and consumer culture, all delivered with humor and warmth.
