Didn't talk about tenacious D, not that there is much to say just wondered what the views on it would be, good ep!

Psych major here. Burnie was curious as to why people pretend not to be sick from a psychology perspective. There isn’t really a singular explanation for this, as it isn’t really a disorder of any kind, and every other explanation is subjective. The best answer I can give you is this: people pretend to not be, or discount their symptoms in either denial, or more likely the fear of perceived weakness (particularly in men, though I can’t really provide you with a peer reviewed study at the moment that proves this). Personally though, I know I’ve pretended not to be sick or just sort of “toughed it out” because I didn’t want to have to call out of work. Hopefully that helps lol.

"[tonsils] do grow back" Yikes! Did not know that. Waking up during surgery must SUCK.

I had my tonsils out for the first time in 1970 when i was four (they do grow back). It was in the hospital and they used ether. I woke up during the surgery and i remember them putting the strainer over my mouth and putting me back out
