Love. It can be beautiful and it can be weird… like really weird. The guys delve into the unsettling story of a 26-year-old man in Peru who was recently discovered carrying a 600 to 800-year-old mummy in a food delivery cooler bag. This ancient relic, dating back to the Inca civilization, was far more than a historical artifact to him; it was his "spiritual girlfriend.” In a more somber note the guys shine a spotlight on the heartbreaking story of Stephanie Aston, a 33-year-old woman from New Zealand who lost her life to Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (EDS), a genetic disorder she was unjustly accused of faking. Stephanie's harrowing journey, marked by a severe misdiagnosis and denial of medical care, ultimately led to her untimely death on September 1. Finally Jer scratches Brian's itch for a top 10 list by exploring the 10 most common nightmares as identified by scientific research. While dreams are highly personal, certain themes resonate universally, shedding light on our shared human experiences.
