E361 Troll Hole To-Go and Naming our ADHD
This week's podcast covers the exorcism of Clarita Villanueva and the blurred line between paranormal experiences and mental health crises. It also discusses the recent murder of Brenda Powell and dives into childhood bossy streaks as a coping mechanism. The speakers share their frustrations with constant postponements and explore the tragic life of Clarita, including her experiences as a child sex worker and her imprisonment in an unsanitary prison. They also delve into the connections between entities, folklore, and colonialism, and discuss their random topics like becoming mayors and potential political platforms. The chapter wraps up with discussions about possession and exorcism, Brenda Powell's role as a child life specialist, struggles with stress and anxiety, unraveling lies and facing consequences, and dreams and daily plans.
