Things We Got Wrong

We're revisiting Brain Candy episodes 53 & 54 about personality tests, childhood nostalgia, and listener mail. We hear why Sarah knew she had OCD way back in 2016 and then somehow forgot despite having literally even symptom. She retook a personality test and her results now are not the same as in 2016, so we hear how she's changed. We discuss how the "worst case scenario" game she learned on Brain Candy is helpful to her still. Susie is still mourning the death of her childhood mecca, Pizza Hut, and she is demanding to speak with the manager. We debate what makes something "offensive" and whether we should apologize when we offend people.

We're covering Brain Candy episodes 51 on beauty hacks and 52 on headlines and hot topics. Sarah said she seemed immature during those conversations, but we were impressed at her encyclopedic knowledge on dermatology. She shares what she learned since then about beauty and her relationship with her self. Susie talks about how much she's changed in her vanity since she was on Road Rules. We revisit the debate about trans people and bathrooms and why Susie thinks people are missing the point. More importantly, she wants there to be more public restrooms because when you gotta go... We discuss the Beyonce and Jay-Z cheating scandal from years ago and what Sarah wants to emphasize about infidelity. Susie found an interesting way to look back in the eras of your life, and it involves olive oil...

Today's show covers Brain Candy episode 49 and 50; a Would You Rather bonanza, handwriting analysis, and another behind-the-scenes of the Challenge. We debate whether handwriting analysis is legit or nonsense and why Sarah is so darn good at it. We discuss Susie's fear of polygraphs and how she thinks the machine will frame her and cause her wrongful conviction. Sarah remembers an encounter with Chad Kroger and why she was afraid he'd hear the episode and hate her for the wrong reasons. We discuss her original regrets on The Challenge and how they've changed over time. We talk about our high school selfs and Sarah shares whether she'd go to her reunion and the reason Susie didn't go to hers. Plus, Susie reveals why she had to defend her 18-year-old self recently.

Sarah is all up in her feelings in this episode because she has some regrets about a past Brain Candy episode about vaginas. She explains why her words in the episode didn't match her actual feelings and why things are different now. We revisit the discussion on the Thai ping-pong shows and why Sarah would never go to one now. We hear why Sarah used to have "low vagina confidence," and how she feels now. Susie describes an epiphany she had with her husband and why she was an accidental bully. We discuss a BCP where we discussed the Challenge, the way Sarah's feelings about some of her castmates have changed over time, and why our life before the show feels like a different person than we are now. We share how we blame the Challenge for why the early episodes of Brain Candy are so cringe-worthy. And we learn how much Sarah felt like she had to win on Rivals 2 in order for her to get a car.

After an amusing Amazon anecdote, Susie is off to the races defending herself against an accusation and a 1-star review. We discuss episode 45 of Brain Candy wherein we psychoanalyze Johnny, and ask ourselves whether it's ethical to psychoanalyze psychos. Susie says yes, and we think she convinced Sarah, so we're in the clear. We listen back on the traits of a narcissist and realize we definitely didn't get our diagnosis wrong. We also reflect on BCP episode 46 on the male private part, and Susie is disturbed at her candor and oversharing and at the immature and outrageous tone we took all those years ago. But the bright spot that brings us great joy was listening to the original bag of d*cks conversation and we reveal whether our mental images have changed since then. It's a delight.

We're back after our summer hiatus, and hopefully feeling refreshed because we have a lot of wrongs to right. We reflect a bit on our approach to fixing our mistakes, but Susie is wondering why no one is apologizing to her for their mistakes. We discuss Brain Candy episodes 43 on Trolls and episode 44 on Race in America. We hear why Sarah was engaging the trolls when we started Brain Candy, but she no longer does, and she claims Susie still falls for people who demand too much of her time and attention. Susie explains why she was cringing at their social justice warrior approach to race in the Brain Candy episode, and why she prefers to focus on people's intentions now rather than whether they say the politically correct terminology. We talk about Rachel Dolezal, the white woman who pretended to be Black because she "identifies" as such. And Sarah realizes she needs to get back to her musical preferences instead of attending concerts with majority white people.

We cover Brain Candy episodes 40 and 41 today, which includes discussions on mental health, drugs, and marriage. We start with a reflection on mental health and why there is a "stigma" sometimes about mental health, and the ways our brains can sabotage us. We learn which addictions are the most corrosive to our brains and we express our frustration about the limits on what we know about CTE and other injuries. Episode 41 featured Sarah's then husband, and she reveals what it was like listening back to that episode. We discuss an outburst he discussed and Susie shares why part of her understood his explosive reaction to Sarah's admonition about his sugary diet. Sarah describes their dynamic, and how the episode validated her choices and evolution over time. We also consider whether our first marriages were something "we got wrong," and whether that is inherently true if there is a divorce.

Today we look back at more behind-the-scenes Challenge episodes and how so much of what we shared is now common knowledge. We discuss how the meals on the Challenge can be triggering, sporadic, and less than delicious. We talk about a cold call we did with Wes where he explained why he and Susie never got along, and his answer was extremely offensive. We explain why we think his answer is indicative of the expectations placed on women of the show, and you're characterized as crazy, difficult, or acceptable (but acceptable just means submissive). We revisit a discussion on BDSM and Susie says there is more to the story about the overlap between sadomasichism and domestic violence, and how it's not as clear cut as the community likes to claim/believe (see: Armie Hammer). We reminisce about Sarah's love for Jeff Goldblum and why he awakened her sexual identity, and we hear about the time she wanted to impress a boy and then ended up having her most embarrassing moment instead.

We're covering a lot of ground today! First, Sarah wants to clarify on a psychology concept on early childhood trauma, and it's real good news! We were shocked to hear about an old sponsor who turned out to be a fraud, and we were both still using the product until now! Susie gives an amazing hack about money you might not even realize is owed to you. We discuss our conversation from an early episode about whether older woman should dress "their age" and whether women should dress more modestly in certain contexts. Sarah covers our "secrets and lies" episode and an episode where we just talked shit, and she was cringing throughout the whole episode. We discuss whether we lie less as we age. Plus, Susie finds out what ChatGPT thinks Susie and Sarah are all about, and let's just say we're less worried about robots taking over now.

We're covering Brain Candy episodes on DIY hacks, friendship, and boobs. We hear why Sarah is still a DIY-ing fool and can't stop taking on these big tasks even when they don't save her time or money. Susie revisits a lost friendship and gives a surprising update about the state of that friendship today. In fact, there is an update on the story that happened as we recorded the episode in real time. Sarah apologizes for something she did during one of the episodes when Susie was trying to be vulnerable. We discuss how we sound so much lighter and more fun in the old episodes than we do now, and we try to figure out why that is the case. We talk about breast implants, beauty, vanity, and why we're clumsy during our periods.
