D & Candy V #10: Superstition and the Longing for Control

In this episode, D and Candy dive deep into the strange, funny, and very human world of superstition. From baseball rituals and rally caps to manifesting, witchcraft, crystals, prayer, astrology, and conspiracy theories, the two explore why our brains cling to patterns, even when they are utterly illogical.

They discuss psychology, confirmation bias, the limbic system, and why even the most skeptical among us still fall into little rituals that make us feel just a bit safer.

The episode moves from hilarious anecdotes to thoughtful insights about belief, fear, identity, and the deep human desire to impose order on randomness.
