About this episode

The episode discusses a caller's family issues, social struggles, and viewer mail about pain and masochism.

A caller's mom wants them to move out, a scientist struggles to connect in social settings, and we read viewer mail about turning off your ability to feel pain and becoming a masochist. That's how they get you. I am a gecko.
