Things We Got Wrong

Everyone makes mistakes. We're human. But the biggest mistake to make is not learning from things you got wrong. After over 600 episodes of The Brain Candy Podcast, Sarah Rice and Susie Meister realized their freewheeling, casual conversations didn't always get everything exactly right. And as they evolved and grew over the years and science developed, they changed their minds about a lot of things. So it's Things We Got Wrong to the rescue! This podcast is a celebration of humility, evolution, and growth, and says it's ok to make mistakes and change your mind. It's time to move forward by looking back!

    I Love S&S! 🧠🍬
    I have binged Brain Candy over the past 9 months and was sad to have final caught up with their current episodes. Two podcasts per week is generous but they have so many great topics that I found myself wishing for an extra episode. When I found this podcast, I was so happy! More Susie & Sarah and the chance to hear what they would do differently, how they perceive themselves then and how they have grown. Satisfying in every way!
  • mangos243
    Why don’t they both listen to the same episodes?
    Really weird that they don’t coordinate episodes they listen to. Is it that hard to call each other beforehand to make sure you’ve listened to the same episodes?
  • Meowmeow1617!!
    Where is the show
    Please come back!
  • Pennygirl1234
    Better than the original show now.
    This show is better because the topics they talked about in the original show (in the beginning) were much more interesting than the topics they talk about now. Perhaps its because they talked about more “real” stories than boring “studies” that are stupid. Bring back content from the beginning of the Brain Candy podcast.

    One more thing to fact check Sarah
    Hey Sarah…. One more thing you got wrong…. DIA (Denver airport) is actually in Denver. If you are going to represent Denver as a Denverite please get your Denver facts right.

    Just love these gals!
  • Susan Cyrus
    Love it more than the original!
    I actually love this podcast more than Brain Candy. I love when enough time has passed that you can revisit a topic critically, and ask, do I still feel the same? Did I feel differently? What has changed or evolved that would lead me to evaluate it differently at this point in my life?
  • LitoFaneto
    Love the pod
    Don’t ever usually write these reviews but been a fan of you girls since I was in middle school and I’m 26 now! You girls are ducking hilarious I listen to both your podcasts every week please don’t stop!
  • Rhiannon Agosti
    I don’t make mistakes
    So this podcast doesn’t apply to me;-)
  • Challenge love
    Love!
    Love Susie and Sarah, and love this spin-off!!

    So Good!
    Love the podcast and its approach. It’s so cool listening to you both look back on the past and review what’s changed/evolved over time. Love love love. Keep it up, ladies! P.s. Really find it hard to believe that it isn’t Susie singing the theme music.

    No make up gang!
    Hi ladies! Love this spin off so much! I’ve been a brainiac almost since the beginning. Just wanted to share that i related to the make up portion of this weeks episode so much! Before the pandemic i wore mascara and a bit of eye liner everyday. (Not like thats a lot to begin with) If for some reason I didn’t everyone thought i was sick or tired or having a bad day. I work on a college campus and when we reopened to students on campus i decided i LOVED not wearing any make up whatsoever so i decided i was the going to. So since Aug ‘21 until last week, not a day of any sort of make up. I never get comments that i look tired or having a bad day. My company had a holiday luncheon last week so i wore the little bit of make up that i used to and WOW!! I got SSSSOOOO many compliments on how good i looked because everyone i work with and see everyday had never seen me like that. So like Sarah said if no one is used to seeing you with make up then when you do it’s a nice surprise vs. wearing it all the time and then suddenly not! Thank you for reading ladies! Love you!

    If Susie or Sarah are there….so am I!
    Any show Susie and Sarah are involved in ends up getting added into my weekly podcast listens! They are funny, witty, and educational Ps no one will ever be able to convince me that the Things We Got Wrong intro isn’t Susie singing
  • Taracita Lynne
    New Tone
    Really enjoying the tone of this spin off show. Binged the episodes available in a couple days. Thanks for the content.
  • Listening on iPhone
    Love!
    I love this spin off so much! Please don’t stop doing it!!
  • EmmybeeUT
    Great podcast!
    Absolutely love this podcast. Listening to Susie and Sarah make me feel like I’m in a conversation with my best friends and have spoiled other podcasts for me because their vibe can never measure up! I love how it shows how people change and can recognize mistakes.
  • jkspets
    So funny
    LOVE Susie and Sarah. This is hilarious. Especially the theme song 🤣
  • anginatx22
    Love this pod and these women!
    A double dose of Susie and Sarah?? Yes please! I adore Brain Candy and this pod is shaping up to be just as good (if not better!). I love their honestly, growth, and maturity. So much has changed in the past few years and this podcast is a good reflection of how far we’ve come and how far we still need to go. Keep it up ladies!
  • JustJ3rmz
    Growth
    I previously gave this series 5 stars but I want to give it 10. I just listened to the “fatphobic” episode and it just made me smile. I love the evolution of these 2. The best apology is changed behavior and I can say these ladies are the epitome of this statement. Kudos!!! Love you both.
  • cella_90
    Growing Pains :)
    I LOVED hearing Susie’s short growing pains- riff. Can we have more of that?!! I’ve always, always, loved Sarah since the Real World and all the Challenges. I always thoughts Sarah and I were kindred spirits. I didn’t remember Susie from Road Rules and wasn’t sure of her at first on this podcast but I have to say I’ve grown so fond of her! Susie & Sarah- if you are reading this, keep doing what you’re doing and thank you for being you!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
  • cbsheirbficksow
    These hookers…
    Love listening to these hookers! So glad this is a series 🧠
  • DisneyGirl84
    Hooray, Another dose of Susie and Sarah
    Having Susie and Sarah in my life twice a week is not ever enough - and now with Things We Got Wrong, I am happy to have a 3rd! Things We Got Wrong is funny, refreshing and gives me hope for the world. I love that they’re reflecting back on things they said and how their opinions (or science!) may have changed. Thank you Susie and Sarah!
  • gem901
    I am enjoying this Podcast
    I too have grown and matured.
  • oclis
    Continuing the journey!
    I’ve been listening to Brain Candy every week since the original show’s episode 11, so this spin off is super fun for me. I get to be reminded of all the original content while simultaneously witnessing how these ladies grow, laughing with them and enjoying their anecdotes. I can’t wait for more!
  • KatieJay1610
    Braincandy addict!
    I love Sarah and Susie’a hot takes and their willingness to learn and grow. They give me hope for society even when talking about the worst of humanity! Love these ladies!
  • Jaxycocoa
    Love this spin off
    Love these ladies! Great self-reflection with all the fun and humor of regular brain candy! I was late to the party and haven’t listened to the first episodes yet, but had no problem following this podcast! Now off to listen to episode 1-5!!
  • Killroyklinger
    Reflection and growth
    After being here for all 600+ episodes I’m excited to revisit it all. Even episode 4. The one that made me want to never come back. I’m glad I did. We’ve all grown together. Now we will reflect together.
  • Cassidy Alexandrea
    This is great!
    I love you ladies! Brain Candy has been such a positive place for me. I am so grateful for all of the work you put in to making such a fantastic podcast over the years. Not just that but also a community for your listeners. You work to make us all feel included and important. Even the ones like me who have never commented or posted before. I have been looking forward to this podcast and I truly want to show my support!! Thank you for all that you do. Cheers🥂🥹💗

    Already 5 ⭐️
    Excited for more content from these gems. Admitting wrongs is powerful and sometimes hilarious! Can’t wait for more.
  • Jess Rene
    Take notes people!
    I mean, come on. This is quite possibly the best idea ever. I hope this reflection/correction trend catches on for everyone. Self awareness and growth has never sounded better 💕
  • lae2007
    Love these ladies!
    I have been binging The Brain Candy Podcast for a while now. Every time I listen I either learn something or at least have a good laugh. I love Sarah and Suzie’s chemistry and was so excited to hear about the spin-off. I’m a stay at home mom so your show gets me through a lot of my chores around the house and errands that o have to run while the kids are in school. Here’s to 7 more years!
  • Ali Defelice
    Love these girls!

  • Squince

  • AdamButler
    Great Concept, Great Podcast
    Self reflection is something everyone should embrace. BCP, leading by example.
