It's all the rage right now on the internet. ASMR. Apparently, certain sounds can trigger certain responses in the brain akin to "a brain orgasm". In this episode, Ric is going to attempt to recreate those triggers with a few self made ASMR sounds. Is there anything to this? Why are there all these channels on YouTube devoted to this subject? Why are these people making so much money on these videos? It all points to very thing that drives the internet. Content is king. No matter how ridiculous that content may be.
