TW: Mental Health Disorders (schizophrenia, depression, Cotard's syndrome) Drug Use, Death

It's a nice day for a... Black Friday!  It's a nice day to... START AGAIIIIIN!

 
Hi Weirdos!! Happy BLACK Friday we hope you're ready to do the Brain Worm Squirm as we dive into this week's WEIRD topics and celebrate all things DARK!
 
Lauren starts us off with a banger as she launches into JEEPERS CREEPERS (I hate it so much) and teaches us about Cotard's Syndrome.  It's nickname however is maybe more appropriate: "Walking Corpse Syndrome."  Cotard's is a very rare mental disorder wherein the patient believes either they ARE dead (or dying,) they no longer exist, or sometimes simply that they are losing blood, internal organs or body parts.  Its... rough.
 
But no worries, Ashley is here to lighten the mood with an ANCIENT ARTIFACTS (sponsored by Addie Rife) that is all about AYAHUASCA! How the drug is made, what it is doing to your brain when ingested and even how use of the drug could solve some of mankind's OLDEST mysteries.  From deep in the Amazon to the furthest reaches of space and time-- this is one TRIP you don't want to miss.  Get it?

Cardiac Cowboys

Cardiac Cowboys

The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
