LIVE CHAT - The Upward Spiral - Neuroscience PHD Alex Korb & EF's Sandeep on Pandemic Brain

Shelter in place getting to you? Freaked about Toilet Paper consumption? Wondering how not to go stir crazy when you can't get a hug from a friend, or more seriously are you battling depression and KNOW that this Covid madness is NOT going to help? UCLA Professor of Neuroscience, and author of The Upward Spiral, Alex Korb chats with fellow Brown University alum turned comedian Sandeep Parikh about all the inner workings of the brain and how it functions during a crisis like the Covid Pandemic. This stream is rife with practical tips on simple things you can do at home to keep happy, healthy and productive and WHY exactly from a physiological perspective those simple things actually work, with some bidet jokes thrown in for good measure.

I really hope you read the message I'm about to write Sandeep. It's about the DVD of the legend of Neil. There's not too many spoilers on the front of the DVD box because Gannon face is very obscured all around and I know you had to have him on the front cover in some way, so you did it right with the front cover. On the back of the DVD box you have three pictures showing off the series, and that is where my issues with the DVD box come into play. The first two pictures are major spoilers and aren't very diverse because both are from the last episode of season 3. I also don't know why you'd want to put a spoiler for Spectacle Rock after you guys put so much work into that prop. Then to see Old Man beam struggling with Ganon is in extreme spoiler territory. I'm okay with the third picture of the Fairy but I think you guys could've picked a nicer picture of her with a background that doesn't have such a blurry background. If you make a new version of the DVD or even a Blu-ray version, I hope you make changes to the preview images on the back. I would love to give you some ideas on which screenshots to use for the preview pictures. I'm a huge fan of the series and I'd be honoured to help you out. Just add me on Discord. Yoshi Kart#7121

I really thought based on the thumbnail that you were going to be talking about the legend of Neil. I'm not saying I'm disappointed because this podcast was still interesting but are you going to be doing a legend of Neil podcast? I would love that! Please.

Thank you both. Super helpful...I was starting on downward spiral of anxiety WFH and this helped in so many ways. And was fun, too!

Neuroscience, but I wanted Neilscience. Next time maybe.

This is so interesting and helpful. I can now understand my husband and his need to information and his need to overly prep and be prepared.
