    S10 Ep3: Necrophilia: Not Illegal in California
    Feb 16 2023
    This week on the podcast, we’re digging into a topic we cannot believe we haven’t already covered… bringing some SPOOKTOBER energy to your February, we’re talking Necrophilia. We’ll get into what we know about the origins of the concern and… eh, practice as well as some more current accounts. Because turns out, it’s still not illegal in every state.

    S10 Ep2: WHAT THE FUPDATE: Hikikomori
    Feb 9 2023
    In this week’s FUPDATE, we’re digging into a severe form of social withdrawal that the Japanese are calling Hikikomori. The term, mostly used to characterize adolescents and young adults, describes folks so withdrawn that they may become recluses in their parents' homes, not even engaging with the family they live with. Certainly there is big COVID energy around this, but there are also generational divides being highlighted… kind of like that time someone said millennials could buy a home if they just stopped buying all this avocado toast.

    S10 Ep1: Neuroplasticity: Science’s Attempt to Manifest
    Feb 2 2023
    This week on our SZN 10 PREMIERE (!), we’re looking to dust off the copy of The Secret we bought in 2005 as we talk Neuroplasticity and it’s *proximity* to manifesting. With all these TikTok’s saying that we can call our fate to us, we ask about the psychology behind faking it ‘til making it. Does envisioning the life you dream of or even going as far to live parts of it, actually affect your brain? We’ll get into it… so shut up, we’re manifesting!
