Golden Bachelor Lies, Zombie Apocalypse, & Killer Mistake
12/12/23 • 52 min
We revisit a story of a monk who raised his hand decades ago and never lowered it. Hear why we have some follow up questions for this fella, and why we question whether it was as painful as he says (even though there is plenty of evidence that it was very painful). Susie discusses her decision 8 years ago to write to criminals, and whether she regrets doing it. We learn why Sarah was wrong about the Golden Bachelor, and how when something is too good to be true it was probably made up by a producer. Sarah shares whether she still has "nocturnal eating" episodes. Susie thinks she was wrong about coffee. And Sarah is doubling down on her claims that a zombie apocalypse could totally happen.

Previous Episode
Forgotten OCD, Fox Mulder, & Pizza Hut Tragedy
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.

Next Episode
Haunted Challenge House, Ozempic Oprah, & Body Positivity
We're back with more things we got wrong! We discuss 2023 and whether we made any mistakes last year and what we learned. Sarah is preparing for her surgery and we talk about the madness of medicine and how it all feels like wizardry. We are looking back at an episode of Brain Candy with Adam Butler (Susie's husband) as a guest. We discuss how his role on reality tv production poses interesting ethical questions and shows why some people choose not to intervene during emergencies or crises. We also talk about a body positivity episode of BCP and how Sarah feels differently about her body now, and she explains what caused the shift. We discuss Oprah's about face on Ozempic and why celebrities who aren't honest about medical interventions for weight loss and plastic surgery can make things harder for the rest of us.
