197: Essential Oils, Breathing Competitions, & Celebrity Therapy

We discuss the naming of the next generation (& why it relates to capitalism). We find out why breath-holding competitions tell us a lot about our bodies' limits (how David Blaine was able to hold his breath for over 17 min). We discuss essential oils' newfound popularity, and why they're so popular among Mormons. We learn how movies affect behavior and how a video game prank went wrong. Plus,, we talk to Dr. Jenn Mann from Vh1's Couples Therapy about reality TV, and how she helps celebrities. Today's show is brought to you by HealthIQ.
