Podcast Show Podcast Episode 2 - "What Really Happened" with Britney Spears' Breakdown

I'm still amateuring the hell out of this podcast but have a listen as I sit down with my cousin Stephen and discuss an episode of "What Really Happened" by Andrew Jenks. This podcast is produced by Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson and dives into the lesser known aspects of huge stories in recent history such as the murder of Michael Jordan's father and whether it was related to Michael's gambling issues. He revisits the death of Princess Diana, the time Muhammad Ali talked a man down from jumping off a building, and how Winston Churchill may or may not have had a serious mental illness.

In this episode we discuss how Jenks uncovers some aspects of Britney Spears' 2008 meltdown that might make you see her in a new light. I know I came away from the episode feeling like I had been harsh on her. And we start to discuss how critical we can often be of celebrities, especially females ones.

Here is a link to our episode.

Restoring the heart of Te Fiti

Can you recall a time when you felt attacked? Maybe it was a physical attack if you were so unfortunate but I'm primarily thinking of an attack of a more emotional variety. Recall the visceral response of defense that was triggered in your body. Your desire to find safety through either running away and hiding or striking back with equal or greater force than what was originally thrust upon you. Were you able then to identify the limits of your humanity as you sought or at least fantasized about retribution? Are you able to recall those extremes today? When we are hurt, backed up against a wall, scared; we have a defense strategy that typically lies dormant underneath layers of personality and humanity that, when surfaced, is capable of remarkably terrible behaviour. Our fear can incite and invoke our fiercest monsters. The monsters of some lie closer to the surface that those of others but rest assured we all have them and they when they arise they are looking for conflict becau

What you SHOULD NOT learn from '13 Reasons Why'

Image
I heard a lot of buzz around this new show on Netflix called '13 Reasons Why' which was about a teenage girl who sent tapes to kids in her high school explaining why she had killed herself. My first impression was that this was going to be teenage drama trash and I had no interest in watching it. I was certain that the critics were bang on with their assessment that this was a terrible show for teens and that it could be a contributing factor to the glamorization and misunderstanding of suicide that I have seen, having worked in a high school with a history of such tragedy. The hub-bub was growing beyond your regular teen drama however, and as people started asking my take on the show, I began considering watching the series so that I could give an honest opinion. Throw in the fact that my wife was also curious and she and I rarely find a show that piques both our interests, and we had enough reasons to watch '13 Reasons' every night after our kids were in bed. So l

Political Psychology Lesson #1 - The Dunning-Kruger Effect

"A little knowledge is a dangerous thing." - Alexander Pope Hello everyone, I'm Zac Rhodenizer, the Alberta Party candidate for Lethbridge West and I'm sharing some tips from the field of psychology that can help us make sense of the election on the horizon. I'm going to start with the Dunning-Kruger effect which states that the more knowledge and expertise a person has in a given subject, especially one as complex and nuanced as politics, economics, or human behaviour, the less certain that person is in their assertions. This is because as you start to understand how complex the issues are you start to "know what you don't know" and it induces a sort of intellectual humility. You may have a better idea about what is likely to be the case but you avoid black and white statements of absolute truth, because you know better. In contrast, when you know a little bit in a given field, you tend to overestimate your competence level. Nobody knows more
