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.

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 The term, mostly used to characterize adolescents and young adults, describes folks so withdrawn that they may become recluses in their parents' homes, not even engaging with the family they live with.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.

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!

This week on the SZN FINALE (!) of the podcast, we’re watched the 2000 Christian cult classic, Running Out of Time, so you don’t have to. Based on a best selling 1990s novel, this story is full of loose ends and Christian propaganda that we truly cannot wait to share as we follow out protagonist played by Kirk Cameron, of Growing Pains fame, through a sudden spiritual awakening. Buckle up because the rapture is predictably unpredictable as portrayed during peak Y2K.

This week on the podcast, Jaimi is hitting us with some hard truths. Sure we can understand as we mature and have more responsibilities, stressors, and the like that we have less free time. But does the working force actually have less time than even just ten years ago? We dig even deeper to contemplate Medieval times— did you assume those folks were constantly working just to survive? We might have… and we hate to break it to you but… 1450 is looking pretty good right about now.

On this week’s FUPDATE, we get into the business of the stories we tell ourselves. Just in time for the holidays, we’re reflecting on the narratives family members and friends seem to hold about us, how we can regress as a result, and what our personal narrative even might be. Do the stories we tell really convey what we want people to see in us? The good news is that there actually is some research about that… And we’ll tell you all about it.

TW: mentions of suicide and accidental death
This week on the podcast, we’re back with another sexpisode as we discuss erotic and autoerotic asphyxiation. We’ll get into likely inaccurate statistics and the brain chemicals involved. What makes this pleasurable anyway? And we simply cannot help but dive into a historical retelling to answer the question of who first thought, “Hey! You know what would be really hot…” So go ahead and clutch your pearls, but not too tight. -

This week on the podcast, psychology and ghosts are having a bit of a crossover as we dig into Haunted People Syndrome. Here again to talk about the syndromes you didn’t know you were interested in as we discuss what some have defined by recurrent and systematic perceptions of anomalous subjective and objective anomalies. Whew. What a mouthful. We’ll breakdown the paranormal— when is a ghost just a ghost and when is someone truly haunted?
-
On this week’s FUPDATE, we are talking all things FIRE. If you’re not familiar with the acronym you may still have heard a thing or two about Financial Independence, Retire Early— even if it was just on your social media timelines. There is a lot more to this philosophy than what’s on your For You Page, and we’re here to break it down. We’ve got some strong feelings about the whole ideal and the different places we think we land within it. So, go ahead and let us know if you’re ready to save fifty percent of your income.

This week on the podcast, Austin retells us a heated confrontation from Bachelor in Paradise as we try to decide whether or not people really are “so evolved.” As we watch cast members on just about every Reality TV show weaponize who does and doesn’t go to therapy, we ask the question “What even is Emotional Intelligence?” Psychologists can’t agree and we’ve got some of our own thoughts as well…

This week on the podcast we’re dishing into yet another secret government project. We’ll recount the story of Joseph McMoneagle as he gets recruited to partake in a US Army project that centers itself on psychic abilities. We’re finding objects in the middle of nowhere this week and honestly not questioning it.

This week on the podcast, Austin goes to the art museum and Jaimi, a person who has never played Pokémon Go, explains it. We’re talking all about experiencing life and art through our phone screens— and sometimes being forced to experience it through someone else’s. When is it okay and can you really appreciate anything when you’re looking through a digit camera?
