Episode notes

Towler: I've never had major depression, but i was probably depressed after my marriage broke up. Towler: It seems able that you wouldn't be able to just walk, like, why can't she just walk? Towler: She's broken in a deep way. We're doing we're trying. Well, i ge, i know it's what sadness is, and i know it got me out of it.

David and Tamler sink deeper and deeper into Melancholia, Lars von Trier’s harrowing and stunningly beautiful depiction of depression, anxiety, and a wedding reception that just won’t end. They bring Freud’s “Mourning and Melancholia” into the conversation and confront the question: what if the depressed and anxious people are right?

Plus Whoopi, M&Ms, baby brain waves, Rogan – we empty out the opening segment Slack.

Note: We recorded the opening segment before the latest development in the Joe Rogan story, but we briefly address that in the promo segment right after the break.
