1 hr 3 min - L'appel du Vide: The Call Of The Void
L'appel du Vide or Call Of The Void is the strange uncharacteristic phenomenon one feels to put themselves in imminent danger, like the urge to jump off a building or cliff when looking over the edge or swerving into oncoming traffic while driving. Most people never act upon this urge and affects those who have never had any suicidal tendencies or thoughts, but is so common, that 1 in 3 people will experience this. Today, we’ll discuss what is The Call Of The Void, what research has been done to study it, and people’s different experiences with this sensation.

56 min - Blue Balls: Real? Myth? A Little Of Both?
Blue balls, one of the biggest mysteries for women. A big myth is it’s all the sperm backed up that causes their pain or ache. Yet, scientifically speaking it’s widely accepted that it’s the additional blood pooled around down there. And I say widely accepted because Blue Balls is NOT in any medical textbooks! How can that be if more than half of men in a survey said they’ve experienced this? How often does it happen and how painful is it really? Also, can women get Blue balls?
