Things We Got Wrong

Today we're exploring Brain Candy Episode 7 where we discuss crime and punishment. In the BCP episode, Susie finds out that Sarah is into astrology, and Susie is pretty judge-y about it. Today we find out if she thinks she was wrong about it or not. Her conclusion comes after Sarah insists on reading her "rising sign," "moon" something or other, and some other words that don't mean anything. We also consider why women tend to be drawn to astrology and spirituality in general. Plus, Susie provides more insight about cannibalism (based on our Jeffrey Dahmer discussion) and why she was wrong about Ted Bundy. Plus, we discuss what Sarah got wrong on a Challenge and why we want to talk to Kaitlyn from Real World Brooklyn about her transgender transition and affirming surgery.

This was the episode we were dreading. We knew we had an episode of Brain Candy that was so bad we had to delete it entirely, but we didn't realize how bad it was until we unearthed this "lost" episode and listened to it again seven years later. Oy. It's bad. We were offensive, small-minded, ignorant, and fatphobic. And we had no idea we were even saying anything shocking. Today we discuss all of the things we got wrong about food, bodies, and fat. We share some of the reasons these prejudices and biases were part of our worldview, the impact of reality tv on our own body image, and the question of whether we should've been cancelled. It's a lot.

Today we have describe why Brain Candy's fourth episode is still missing, making it officially our "lost" episode, and we try to recall what we said in it that was specifically so offensive. It was probably Susie's fault, let's face facts. We revisit our discussion of objectiphilia and discover a study that shows the type of people who are more likely to have this sexual attraction and our minds are blown. And it helped Susie not get so mad at their harmless sexual preference. Sarah is pissed about a couple who live their lives as "Victorian" (except for their incredibly not Victorian era BLOG). We hear a clip of Sarah making fun of Susie for not knowing what AC and DC stand for, but she reassures us she is a changed woman.

Episode 5 of Brain Candy featured a debate with a woman named Cassie who does not share our feminist worldview. On today's show, we revisit the episode and talk about whether we should've even had her on the show in the first place. We discuss what we got wrong in approaching the debate and consider whether we were even effective or convincing in sharing our points of view. Susie discusses whether amplifying hate speech, extremism, or bigotry is beneficial or just makes the problem worse. We discuss how the concept of the Real World is the secret to open-mindedness and it's critical to expose yourself to other worldviews.

Hooray! Brain Candy's spinoff is finally here! In our very first episode of Things We Got Wrong we explain why we're doing this show, what our intentions are, and what people can expect. We begin with a discussion about how cringey it is to listen back to our first episodes (from seven years ago!) and how we've changed since the beginning. Sarah explains how her marriage informed her demeanor and why that was something she got wrong. We revisit a conversation about foot fetishes and try to decide whether we got anything wrong. Sarah claimed suicide was illegal in some states and Susie reveals whether this is true or not. Be sure to subscribe so you never miss an episode!
