    930: Tooth Hurty, Gen Z Stare, & Mind Blanking
    Jul 21 2025

    We're obsessing about teeth today (more than usual)! Hear why Susie thinks she got confirmation that wisdom teeth removal is done too frequently, and why she and Gen Z finally have something in common. We discuss the viral accusation of "Gen Z stare," and theorize why it's happening. We learn about a study done on persuasion that made a bunch of people furious on Reddit. We get an update on the Grandma Scam that Susie experienced a few years ago. We talk about "mind blanking," and find out who is more likely to go into this unconscious state, what the brain is doing when we are thoughtless, and why it happens. And let's just say we have some idea of which gender this happens to more frequently. Plus, we hear about a woman who does the work of the Tooth Fairy, and we decide the whole ritual is just a byproduct of capitalism and consumerism.


    13:52 - The "Gen Z Stare" is is what many people are labeling this blank look of confusion.

    21:33 - Could an AI chatbot change your mind? People on Reddit are pissed it changed theirs.

    34:41 - What are men thinking about? Have you ever experienced a completely blank mind?

    44:38 - Do you really have to get your wisdom teeth taken out? Or is it a dental conspiracy?

    929: Bike Apocalypse, Customer Service Sludge, and 90s Summer
    Jul 17 2025
    Sarah went camping with her family and it was predictably calamitous in the best way possible. We hear why kids don't ride bikes anymore, parents are chauffeurs, and why it matters. We talk about how much camp meant to Sarah growing up and then as a counselor, and we lament that tragedy in Texas at the Christian camp. Sarah explains why customer service is so bad now, why you shouldn't accept it, and what you can do about it. Plus, she describes a genius way we can band together and combat the "sludge" of customer service quagmires.Read this week's Newsletter: https://mailchi.mp/thebraincandypodcast/dropped-calls-ai-after-death-the-importance-of-braille0:29 - Sarah's planning something romantic.5:12 - The Rice family's calamitous camping trip.16:51 - Article: Kids are missing out on things we used to do all the time.28:58 - Wes Bergmann told Sarah....30:42 - Susie and Sarah discuss the tragic Texas floods.38:13 - They do it on purpose!

    928: Cool Factor, Dead Chatbots, & Bald Curious
    Jul 14 2025
    7:40 - Table Of Content, Episode Topic Breakdown. - Sarah is feeling extra tough today because her testosterone levels are through the roof and people think Susie looks like a villain, so we're quite the pair. Hear what traits you need to be perceived as cool. We have a new catchphrase and we think it's super book (you heard us). People are getting AI Avatars of their family members to talk to them after they die, and we see a few issues with this form of grieving. We debate which animals are the gayest (shoutout to flamingos). Susie watched visually impaired kids compete in a Braille reading competition, and she explains why Braille is a dying language. We hear what pretty much every famous man is doing to avoid going bald, but we think they're nuts because bald is beautiful.Read this week's Newsletter: https://mailchi.mp/thebraincandypodcast/dropped-calls-ai-after-death-the-importance-of-braille00:27 - Sarah's Testosterone levels are off the charts!3:39 - Drama from the comment section.7:40 - Table Of Content, Episode Topic Breakdown.10:45 - Susie's favorite food delivery is HungryRoot.13:28 - Science can tell us what it takes to be "cool".25:06 - Our favorite hair partner.

Sarah and Susie are so fun to listen to. They have you laughing, they have you surprised or mad with them.
Game time debate our teens have rules to follow in order to play. They do have to be done an hour before bed no screen time unless it's to listen to a bed time items on the calm app.
Cereal as a soup debate from last episode cereal not a soup because you can eat the cereal out of the box with no milk, you cannot eat soup out of the box or liquid. It would not be soup then.

love the Brain Candy Podcast

Susie and Sarah truly never disappoint. I am a long time listener and never tire of their banter, hilarity, and most importantly the incredibly fascinating topics they discuss and break down all while keeping you laughing! My life mirrored Susie’s life & upbringing in many ways and hearing her discuss it has helped me process loads, and feel so understood. These ladies are the real deal, unapologetically smart, cunning, & witty! So grateful for the community they’ve created with the BCP!

Excuse Me While I Gush 🧡

I know Susie loves to run her mouth and whatnot but this time she got it wrong ... Bob Saget DIDN'T die of Covid, it was a head injury from a fall. he had multiple skull fractures. quit saying all deaths are Covid , you're as bad as the media .

Love them, however...
