Why do we like certain types of music? Is it just preference, or is something deeper happening in our brains and bodies? 

In this episode, Ashley dives into music psychology and the idea of vibrational memory. We explore why certain songs instantly transport you back to a specific moment in time. We also discuss how music may be tied to evolutionary psychology, including why some sounds feel safe, powerful, or even threatening. 

We break down why concerts feel so intense and why live music hits differently. It is not just the sound. It is the shared energy of the crowd, the performer, and the collective experience that amplifies everything. 

Plus, we wrap things up with a chaotic game of Finish the Lyric, where we confidently and sometimes incorrectly sing our hearts out. 

If you have ever gotten chills from a song or wondered why your music taste feels so personal, this episode might completely change the way you experience music.

Girl, you scared? In this episode, Christy breaks down the psychology of fear and phobias. We touch on what makes something a fear versus a true phobia, how phobias form, and why our brains hold onto them. We dive into the infamous (and wildly unethical) Little Albert experiment, explore fear conditioning, and unpack some of the most common phobias people experience. Turns out, your irrational fears might not be so irrational after all.  

Ironically, the scariest thing in this episode isn’t spiders, heights, small spaces, or the Little Albert experiment; it’s the audio glitch in the last 10 minutes. We tried to fix it. We rebooted. We bribed chat bestie. The glitch won.  

Hang in there fam and thank you for your bravery.

We're funny… or at least ChatBestie keeps telling us we are. 

But why do we laugh, and where does humor actually come from? Is laughter something we’re born with, or is it learned? Can it actually help us stay healthy or even fight illness? 

In this episode, we explore the science of laughter, different humor styles, social situations, and yes… even what rats in experiments can teach us. Plus, we dive into laughter’s health benefits: studies show it may lower cancer risk and improve outcomes for people undergoing immunotherapy. Turns out, laughter really is the best medicine! 

If you’ve ever wondered why people laugh at funerals or whether comedians are secretly healing us all, this episode is for you.

They’re humid, hot, and bothered. Welcome to Florida, where the sun shines and so does the audacity.

This week, Christy breaks down Sunshine Laws and why they’re single-handedly responsible for some of the most hilarious headlines in America.

Seriously though… the Easter Bunny did WHAT?!

If you need a laugh, and maybe a little secondhand embarrassment, we got you.

Listen… we’re tired, grandpa. Ashley goes rogue and lets AI decide the podcast, because planning felt optional this week.

We throw the outline out the window and let ChatBestie take the reins, serving up hot takes, debate prompts (mostly about food), and one "hilariously haunted" story generated by Chat, who we’re now pretty convinced is secretly listening to Christy.

We riff in real time, argue our opinions, go off on tangents, and once again prove that giving artificial intelligence creative control might not be the safest choice… but it is entertaining.

If you love  conversations, unhinged AI prompts, and listening to us test whether AI is actually capable of “tAkInG oUr jObS,” this episode is for you.

Fantasy football season is officially over, so we’re back with one final bonus update. Christy discovers she was never in the playoffs (surprise, it was the toilet bowl)! Ashley makes it to the championship game, and one league member chooses chaos by attempting to drop his entire team. Naturally, Christy seizes the opportunity to try and sabotage Ashley one last time.

One final discussion about the punishments we've seen, and HOT DOG, its a vibe.

Short, messy, and full of laughter exactly the energy this season deserved. Thanks for riding out fantasy football season with us, join us next time!

Is the Earth flat… or are people just deeply committed to being wrong?

This week, Christy takes us on a deep dive into the Flat Earth movement and the various methods flat-earthers use to try to “disprove” science, data, and basic observable reality. From misunderstood experiments to wildly confident YouTubers, we explore the most common Flat Earth arguments and the famous people who believe them.

Meanwhile, Ashley gets increasingly fired up by science denial, misinformation, and the mental gymnastics required to reject established facts.

We unpack why these beliefs spread online, how they’re about to get even worse with the rise of AI-generated videos, what they reveal about trust in institutions, and yes still somehow reference “Baby Got Back.”

If you’ve ever wondered how Flat Earth theories come about, or just want to hear two friends spiral while discussing them, this episode is for you.

Ashley goes full woo and proposes the idea that we might be living in a simulation and astrology could be the code running it. Join us on this deep dive into astrology and simulation theory. We cover how “glitches in the matrix,” could actually just be system updates and how the interns running our current SIM have really dropped the ball lately. We also connect the dots between eclipse season chaos, our own charts and how this podcast was literally birthed during this season. Is astrology predictive… or programmed? Let’s spiral.

Christy breaks down her favorite TV show, Dexter, and her theory that viewers either love it or hate it, with almost no middle ground. We explain what Dexter is really about, why it became such a cult favorite, and what makes it so polarizing among fans and critics.

From there, the conversation spirals (as it always does) into true-crime TV obsessions, including why Keith Morrison is clearly Ashley’s boyfriend, hot tips and tricks to plan the perfect murder, and why The Handmaid’s Tale is Ashley’s personal “Roman Empire.” We also touch on real-world serial killer statistics in the U.S. fueling your nightmares for at least the next few nights.

If you love TV deep dives, true crime commentary, and unserious opinions about very serious shows, this episode is for you.

A very short Christmas Day bonus update 🎄

We’re popping in with a quick follow-up to our Birth Order episode after our siblings finally decided to reply. Nothing heavy — just a few extra minutes of Christy knowing her siblings like she knows herself, and the confirmation we all needed that birth order theory is absolutely real.

Think of this as a stocking stuffer, not a full episode.
