In episode # 25 of podcast Get Psyched! with Dr. Seth, psychologist Dr. Seth Meyers uses the old soap opera "Dallas" as a platform to talk about why people are drawn to the guilty TV pleasures they're drawn to, whether it's a soap opera or a sports event like boxing, where some seem to enjoy “watching people kick each other’s asses." In addition, Dr. Seth spotlights a wild news story involving superstar Cher trying to rescue elephants from a zoo transfer. Naturally, he takes his cue to perform an impromptu Cher impression—yes, singing “Just Like Jesse James.” Dr. Seth finishes the episode with a Listener Check-In: Are You an Introvert or an Extravert? and he breaks down the difference (spoiler: it’s not just “shy” vs. “gregarious”). Before signing off, Dr. Seth prepares listeners for next week's guest: TV chef Andrew Zimmern on the foods and flavors that people are most drawn to, as Dr. Seth looks at what it all means about us psychologically.
