634: Victoria's Secret, Male Trees, & Magical Thinking

Hear what it was like for Sarah to rewatch Exes II with her boyfriend, and why it gave her a whole new perspective of the show. Susie discusses the Victoria's Secret documentary and how the "fantasy" they were creating was really toxic and driven by, you guessed it, the patriarchy. We learn how the suburbs are riddled with male trees, and it is having a surprising effect on our health (and it ain't good). Susie almost got into a fight at Banjo Night, of all places, and she explains what happens when she hits a breaking point. We discuss Steve Jobs's habit of "magical thinking" and how it ultimately cost him his life. We debate whether climate activists gluing themselves to artwork is helpful (and Sarah just wants to know what kind of glue it is).  Listen to more podcasts like this: https://wavepodcastnetwork.com Read this week's Newsletter: https://mailchi.mp/thebraincandypodcast/634-635 Join our Candy Club, shop our merch, sign-up for our free newsletter, & more by visiting The Brain Candy Podcast website: https://www.thebraincandypodcast.com Connect with us on social media: BCP Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/braincandypodcast Susie's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/susiemeister Sarah's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/imsarahrice BCP Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/braincandypod Susie's Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/susie_meister Sarah's Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/ImSarahRice See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
