According to David Gillespie (and some very reliable research studies), good old-fashioned Paracetamol (Panamax, Panadol, Tylenol) can create the interesting 'side effect' of making people temporarily less empathetic or as DG suggests, “temporary psychopaths!” We also chat about why (and how) Al might soon make 'The You Project' (or at least, the host) redundant.

Of course Gillespo has written an article (on Substack) about the world's most controversial, talked-about and in-demand drug. So of course we chat about the magic product(?) that tells your brain you're full (so you eat less), slows down digestion (so you stay full longer) and lowers blood sugar levels (helps diabetics manage insulin). We should probably also mention the potential side-effects of nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, constipation, stomach pain and bloating, loss of appetite, fatigue, burping and acid reflux.

Well, this chat was a steep learning curve for the old bogan from Latrobe Valley. In this episode, Gillespo and I discuss the fascinating and complex history of the birth control pill - how a scientific breakthrough, a feminist movement, and a social revolution collided to change the world. But we also explore the unintended consequences, particularly for teenage girls. While the pill has empowered millions, emerging research suggests it may also pose serious risks to mental health, brain development, and long-term reproductive well-being. We dive into the hidden costs of hormonal contraception, why teenage brains are uniquely vulnerable, and whether the medicalisation of puberty is doing more harm than good. Are we too quick to prescribe the pill for acne, cramps, and irregular periods? And what alternatives should young women consider? This conversation is about science, ethics, and the delicate balance between freedom and risk. Whether you're a parent, a doctor, or someone who has taken the pill yourself, this chat might make you think differently about a drug that has shaped modern society. It’s an eye-opening discussion about empowerment, hormones, and the truth behind the tiny tablet that changed everything.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Who knew! Regularly eating eggs supports a lower risk of cardiovascular disease-related death (no, not a typo). New research from a Monash University-led team has found that a daily egg (instead of one a week) is associated with a 29 per cent lower risk of cardiovascular disease-related death in relatively healthy older adults. Gillespo loves this sh*t and as he so often does, he took to the nutritional dinosaurs with a verbal baseball bat over the revelation that not only won't daily eggs kill you, they're (statistically) likely to make you live longer. And in other breaking news, he's also a fan of adding (not removing) salt from our diet ('course he is). See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Sounds like a boring and not-relevant-for-most topic but it was a surprisingly interesting and relevant-for-many conversation. Did you know that some widely-used magnesium supplements contain up to forty times (40X) the RDI (recommended daily intake) of vitamin B6? Even more ridiculous when you consider that most people don't even know these products contain any B6 because they're actually trying to supplement their magnesium!

This week, Tom Nondorf, editor of American Cremation & Cemetery magazine co-hosts the first of a two-part year-in-review episode. The Unique Cemetery Overlooking Sanford Stadium: “They sell plots because the University of Georgia plays pretty good brand of college football. People want to see it. And so, you know, they have that crazy brand of a Southern football fan. So, some people buy plots where they can be kind of overlooking a slight view of the stadium.” On Contributing Writer Tui Snider: “And then one of (the books) was by this woman, Tui Snider, out of Texas, who is just amazing at researching cemeteries and the different symbols you find on headstones. She just emailed me from Norway where she is going to be looking at cemeteries there and doing her thing for a couple months going around Europe.” Carving a Legacy: “(Slate headstone carver J. David Gillespie) goes up to Boston and studies under a woman who's an expert up there about carving slate letters in the old-school way, basically doing perfect imitations of the type of headstones that exist in cemeteries up in New England and then just starts doing that as his living.” The Cemetery Cleanup Exposé Dilemma: “You'll see them every few weeks. You know, somebody went to the cemetery to find a teddy bear and a vase that they left on a grave, and it had all been thrown into a pile somewhere. The stories were always the same, you know? Somebody calls a local news station ... it's just so easy to make everybody look bad.” Click here for completel show notes.

At school, David Gillespie was an academic standout, while I was more of an academic stand-outside-the-principals-office, kind-of student. Not even joking. This was a fun chat where we talked about the significant differences between our teenage reality (in the 70's and 80's) and the reality of teenagers today. We chatted about the myriad of challenges, hurdles, and variables that us old b*stards didn't have to navigate in our day, as well as exploring the ‘emerging addictions' that are wreaking havoc on (some of) our younger generation.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Well, this chat was equally fascinating and terrifying. According to David Gillespie, Artificial General Intelligence (Al that is as smart as, or smarter than, the average person) is just around the metaphoric corner and it may not be good news for us non-robots. In some ways, it seems like the rapid evolution of Al is hurtling humanity towards the edge of an existential cliff, that might do us more harm than good. According to some, Al is at the precipice of being sentient to the point where it can think, make decisions, deceive and manipulate (humans), train itself and experience the equivalent of what we call 'consciousness'. Until recently, I too thought this 'Al stuff' was exaggerated and mostly BS, but not anymore. By no means do I think we need to panic, but I do believe we need to open our eyes to what is happening. We would be naive (and can I say stupid?) to assume that all technological advancement equals human advancement.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

According to Gillespo, the common birth control pill is increasingly being used for an 'off-label' purpose (with significant health risks), and less than ever for the intended purpose. I was also interested to learn that overall, young people (teenagers and early twenties) are less likely to have sex than parents were (back in the day) and the age at which women are having their first child has increased by around a decade since the 70's. Fortunately for Gillespo and I, Tiff was present to contribute to the conversation. Enjoy.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Did you know that, while psychopaths can understand the theory of empathy (that's a weird term isn't it?) and the social currency of being 'seen' as a kind and caring person, they don't actually have the capacity to experience empathy for others. That is, they can have the intellectual understanding (of it) but not the emotional experience (of it). Accordingly, they will often use their intellectual insight to 'role play' (fake) empathy, all-the-while orchestrating some kind of social, emotional and psychological manipulation for their own benefit. Not scary at all! As David and I take a leisurely stroll down 'Psychopath Lane', we talk about gaslighting (and the origin of the term), the most-read book in the US prison system, a thing called consensus effect, the tell-tale signs of psychopathy and he offers five strategies for surviving personal and professional interactions with your garden-variety psychopath.

The following excerpt is from David's latest article posted on World Parkinson's Day (April 11): “Imagine watching a loved one's hands tremble uncontrollably, their steps falter... This heartbreaking reality confronts the families of over 200,000 Australians battling Parkinson's disease. In Australia, someone is diagnosed with Parkinson's every 27 minutes. These aren't just numbers - they're stolen futures. This isn't a mysterious affliction, it's a mass poisoning, and the culprits line the aisles of every supermarket.” This is a terrifying and enlightening conversation.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
