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?
