This episode is about Death, Dying & Beyond. Dee Bunked talks about the pioneering studies in near-death by Dr. Elisabeth Kübler-Ross, a Swiss-American psychiatrist famous for her theory on the five stages of grief. Dee also talks about the American Neuroendocrinologist Dr. Robert Sapolsky's ideas about the stress-reducing components involved in the "meta-magical thinking" of religious belief. We also play some cuts from Dr. Dre & Dr. Neil deGrasse Tyson talking about their views on Death. We get some comic relief in this heavy episode from comedian Hannibal Burress telling a story about a very stressful realization he had on a plane one time that caused him to go through the stages of grief. Enjoy!
