Faith leads a discussion of the hit AppleTV show “severance.” Faith brings up how it relates to the “quiet quitting” phenomenon, and also brings up how the show exemplifies a form of speculative science fiction that’s less commonly seen today. Aaron discusses the real-world psychological phenomena that relate to the show’s depiction of the severance procedure, including self complexity. The pair then visit the kvetching corner again, where Aaron fulfills Faith’s request to kvetch about psychology with horrific aplomb. Also, Aaron’s baby daughter makes an auditory cameo appearance!

Show note: both hosts have a slight hum sound to their sound because they both live in hot climates and had local AC units going. We apologize for the sound quality but are still glad the hosts didn’t overheat.
