Why do we like certain types of music? Is it just preference, or is something deeper happening in our brains and bodies?

In this episode, Ashley dives into music psychology and the idea of vibrational memory. We explore why certain songs instantly transport you back to a specific moment in time. We also discuss how music may be tied to evolutionary psychology, including why some sounds feel safe, powerful, or even threatening.

We break down why concerts feel so intense and why live music hits differently. It is not just the sound. It is the shared energy of the crowd, the performer, and the collective experience that amplifies everything.

Plus, we wrap things up with a chaotic game of Finish the Lyric, where we confidently and sometimes incorrectly sing our hearts out.

If you have ever gotten chills from a song or wondered why your music taste feels so personal, this episode might completely change the way you experience music.

Girl, you scared? In this episode, Christy breaks down the psychology of fear and phobias. We touch on what makes something a fear versus a true phobia, how phobias form, and why our brains hold onto them. We dive into the infamous (and wildly unethical) Little Albert experiment, explore fear conditioning, and unpack some of the most common phobias people experience. Turns out, your irrational fears might not be so irrational after all.

Ironically, the scariest thing in this episode isn’t spiders, heights, small spaces, or the Little Albert experiment; it’s the audio glitch in the last 10 minutes. We tried to fix it. We rebooted. We bribed chat bestie. The glitch won.

Hang in there fam and thank you for your bravery.

We're funny… or at least ChatBestie keeps telling us we are.

But why do we laugh, and where does humor actually come from? Is laughter something we’re born with, or is it learned? Can it actually help us stay healthy or even fight illness?

In this episode, we explore the science of laughter, different humor styles, social situations, and yes… even what rats in experiments can teach us. Plus, we dive into laughter’s health benefits: studies show it may lower cancer risk and improve outcomes for people undergoing immunotherapy. Turns out, laughter really is the best medicine!

If you’ve ever wondered why people laugh at funerals or whether comedians are secretly healing us all, this episode is for you.
