#91 The Yips

This week, we switched it up a bit in two ways; Gina had to take a week off because of allergies, so we had Bill from Crimes, Killers, Cults and Beer sit in for the episode. This episode is also sports related, but don't let that put you off, we still packed in an attempted homicide, a traumatic shooting, plane crashes and literal governmental blood theft. So get ready, this is the ultra long episode about the psychological phenomenon known as The Yips, where the human brain just decides to stop doing common activities it formerly had no problems doing.
