Episode Synopsis

In this episode, I'm taking you on a hilarious journey into your brain's own comedy club! Did you know your brain treats laughter like a super-power? When we laugh, it's like throwing a feel-good party in our heads, releasing happy chemicals that make us feel amazing. I explore why even babies crack up before they can talk, and why laughing with others is literally contagious - it's like a social superglue! From dad jokes to sophisticated humor, I reveal why our brains are basically built-in laugh tracks, and how this simple 'ha-ha' has been keeping humans sane and social since forever. Trust me, the science of giggles is seriously funny business! 😄
