If you will, I'll use that in quotations, their commercial bit. You know there's our socials, or what have you Me as a podcast listener when I start hearing that?

Speaker 3:

No, no, I thank you for keeping that stuff short and sweet, no it's whatever I can do, so hit me with something good here.

Speaker 1:

All right, this is a bizarre story. Okay, don't worry, I'm not going to spoil it, I'm just going to read it. Okay, here we go. A Utah house cat was reunited with its parents recently after her nap in a favorite hiding place turned into a six-day nightmare. Are they Mormon? You don't know, it's hard to say. The cat's name is Galena, galena the calico. Okay, go on. Galena was accidentally shipped in the box she had snuck into to the Amazon Fulfillment Center in Jurupa Valley, california.

Speaker 3:

I heard this Did you hear this story? I did hear this story.

Speaker 2:

Yes, yes I did.

Speaker 3:

The cat slept in its favorite box. Yes, in a box it's its favorite thing.

Speaker 1:

Yes, it's a box, that's what cats thing?

Speaker 3:

Yes, it's a box, that's what cats do yes, and they packed it up and shipped it off.

Speaker 1:

And shipped them out. Yep, oh yes, Epitomizing the internet adage of it fits I sits. Galena had cozied up inside an Amazon box, unaware that the shoes she was sharing it with were due to be returned. Oh boy, Owners, Carrier and Matt Clark love their cat as much as she loves sitting in boxes, but her quiet, demure demeanor got the best of her this time and she needed all nine lives to survive in the box for six days without food or water.

Speaker 3:

Slap an Abu Dhabi sign on the side of it and you're off.

Speaker 1:

She was aided said Carrier, by three miracles. The first was that Matt didn't seal the box perfectly.

Speaker 2:

Okay, typical guy, she probably oh good, she probably yelled at him.

Speaker 1:

Don't you know how to seal a box, isn't?

Speaker 3:

that Don't most men not know how to seal a box?

Speaker 1:

I don't know, you just tape it up what's, what's, what's, oh you're talking box as in, like that you mail.

Speaker 3:

Oh, I'm sorry, go on boy.

Speaker 2:

That escalated quickly. I mean, that really got out of hand fast.

Speaker 3:

Was that? Was that not pc? Not PC. No, okay, go on. What the fuck are you doing? So we couldn't seal the box properly.

Speaker 1:

so it's miracle number one. So that's miracle number one. The second was that the weather was not too hot at the time. Good, the third was that only one person in the whole Amazon location knew how to handle such a situation, and she worked in returns.

Speaker 3:

Thankfully. Yes, wait, something actually worked in returns. Yes, in Amazon All right.

Speaker 1:

Once in jerupa valley she was discovered by an employee who in turn called their boss, hunter braid, hunter, hunter brandy, the returns manager, who also happens to love cats and fosters and rescues them as a sidekick. Well, that's serendipitous, isn't it? This whole thing is serendipitous it's like meant to be. She showed up, despite not being at work that day, with a cat carrier and some food. Oh, man.

Speaker 3:

So I'm curious with this cat. So she's got a very demure meaner, very loud, so not even a meow, nothing. Yeah, I don't know.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, it's hard to say. Usually my cat in the car, it won't shut up. She eventually warmed up to me and let me pet her, hunter said in their statement from Amazon. I could tell she belonged to someone by the way she was behaving, so I took her home that night. All this time the Clarks, who had experienced their cat simply vanishing without a trace, were in a dire fret. So how did they figure out that they packed the cat in a box? They searched for hours around their home, put up flyers in the neighborhood, called friends and alerted neighbors, but there was nothing more that could be done. Zilch, at that point, yeah, Hunter eventually took Galena to a vet to make sure it was recovering from its ordeal and to check for a microchip.

Speaker 1:

Perfect, galena was microchipped, leading to a phone call that Carrie first thought was a joke. Phone call that carrie first thought was a joke. Galena loves to sit in boxes, like the one in in this undated photo photograph from before the incident. Galena must have snuck into a box without him seeing and without us knowing, and then matt came back and taped the box back up. Carrie said she loves to hide in boxes, so she was pretty happy in there. She didn't make any noise.

Speaker 3:

You know what, Dave? I give it a couple of years.

Speaker 1:

Here I'm going to give you a picture of her in a box.

Speaker 3:

Thank you.

Speaker 1:

The cat in a box.

Speaker 3:

Okay, so you heard the story of McDonald's and the coffee incident. Yeah, right, right, I have a feeling in the next couple of years, on Amazon boxes.

Speaker 2:

There's going to be a check for your pet. Uh, yep, yep, I'm gonna sue you, yeah, that, honestly, sue everyone. Yeah, if she, if she, that escalated quickly if she.

Speaker 3:

I mean that really got out of hand fast. If she fits, I sits, yeah exactly absolutely I can almost see that on the box.

Speaker 1:

Now check for your pet the owners literally had emotions of laughing hysterically to crying hysterically. It was just so intense. It was the strangest emotion feeling both of those at the same time. A lover of cats, hunter, asked Carrie if she could record the meeting after they drove down to California to pick Galena up. This moment and all the rest of her life with her family would not have been possible had she not been microchipped. Hunter wrote Although I most Right, that's wow to sit in, even if the box itself is an optical illusion. There's a strange, if almost unbelievable lesson in the story of Galena and the Amazon box. If you've got to mail something big, check for fur before sending.

Speaker 2:

No, no, don't shut me up.

Speaker 3:

If your car can tell you to check your backseat for your kid, they can put a warning on the box saying On a box yeah, no animals allowed check your backseat for your kid.

Speaker 1:

They can put a warning on the box. Yeah yeah, no animals allowed.

Speaker 3:

No animals. Check for your pet. Check for animals.

Speaker 1:

I just thought this was bizarre. So the cat got shipped across the country Literally In a box and was in there for six days and didn't say a thing. Yeah, not even a meow. Well, maybe, but it was probably in the back of a truck all that time, or on a plane.

Speaker 3:

Okay, have you heard an animal, a cat, in a car?

Speaker 1:

Yeah, Well, no, I don't. I'm not versed in cats. I've never owned a cat. I've owned cats my entire life.

Speaker 3:

You put a cat in a car and they are we tripped, do they just not like it? They don't, they meow.

Speaker 1:

They get really-.

Speaker 3:

They whine. It's not a whine.

Speaker 1:

It is a guttural. Oh my God, get me the heck out of here, type thing.

Speaker 3:

Okay All right, we traveled. My mother packed my sister and I into a Volkswagen Rabbit two kids and two cats and drove us from literally Alaska to Maryland. Oh my gosh, Wow. And these cats, we literally knocked them out. So they would be able to be relaxed. We literally knocked these cats out.

Speaker 1:

Well, yeah, and it's better for them yeah.

Speaker 3:

And they can just sleep through it, and it was better for everyone in the car too. Those of you that know, you know.

Speaker 1:

Yes, absolutely All right. So, anyway to the Clarks and Galena the cat.

Speaker 3:

Yes, Great story. Thank you, I did hear this Good story that's how winning is done I just it's yes, it is so back to it that that noise, that that that cat's making the car, is stuck in my brain, so I just know it all too well, david. So bizarre mental disorders yes we're getting back into this, we are. I love this. This is really, really great, because I apparently have some bizarre syndromes that I didn't know.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, I mean maybe, maybe people have experienced some of these, but again that they are bizarre and and they're not, I again, they're not very common. That's the big thing. No, they're not. This is not like people are going to be coming in every day with Paris syndrome into your office, no, right, but you can look for it now. Okay, this one. Okay, you'll probably know it as soon as I say it. What's involved with this one? This one's called Jerusalem syndrome, and most of these probably come from places. A lot of these syndromes are named after places. Okay, yes, so Jerusalem syndrome. It's a name given to a group of mental phenomenon involving religiously themed things places, things, places. So it leads to, like obsessive ideas, delusions, other psychosis-like experiences that are triggered by a visit to the city of Jerusalem. Okay, so again, it's religiously, it's based around religion, but it's kind of being overwhelmed by the place you're in.

Speaker 3:

You know the slogan for Jerusalem, right, come on, get your God on. That's their slogan. Okay, I'm just I know, come get your God on.

Speaker 1:

Are they wailing at the wall because of that? Yeah?

Speaker 3:

They're God on.

Speaker 1:

No, it's a.

Speaker 3:

I don't listen to you. No more it becomes, because you're so overwhelmed by the feeling of Christ going on around you Right right, it really hits you and it manifests itself and makes it almost obsessive, right.

Speaker 1:

So the big thing is, it's not limited to just one single religion or denomination, but it has affected Jews and Christians more overtly, which is where the name came from being in Jerusalem. Because I mean, think about it, if you're a practicing Christian or you believe in Jesus as you know your Savior, your Savior, and you go to the place where he was, that would probably be an overwhelming experience. Of course it would be.

Speaker 3:

Yes, of course it would be, because you practice your entire life. You're devout, you're a devout, you know, religious believer. Of course you're going to become overwhelmed by that feeling.

Speaker 1:

So here's the important point on this syndrome Of all the people who have suffered this spontaneous psychosis, all of them documented have had a history of previous mental illness Okay, or were deemed not to have been well prior to their visits. So it's almost as if well and I can say this because I deal with a lot of different mental illnesses that people who are already mentally ill are probably more susceptible to other syndromes and other issues.

Speaker 3:

What if they walk away clearly with a stigmata?

Speaker 1:

that's self-induced or I, I don't know.

Speaker 3:

It might be something but yeah, but I understand where you're coming from with folks that have been diagnosed previously right some type of mental disorder, because they're already more susceptible to delusions or hallucinations or off-center beliefs.

Speaker 1:

Let's say Absolutely fair so that's Jerusalem Syndrome, Capgras C-A-P-G-R-A-S.

Speaker 3:

That's the next one. Capgras, delusion, capgras, is that the next?

Speaker 1:

This is a bizarre one. I mean, of all the ones we've had, this is the most bizarre one. The Capgrist delusion is a rare disorder in which a person holds a delusional belief that an acquaintance usually a spouse or other close family member, has been replaced by an imposter.

Speaker 3:

It reminds me of a movie from the 1970s the Body Snatchers.

Speaker 1:

There it is. Yes, invasion of the Body Snatchers, that's right. So here's the catch here. It is most common in patients with schizophrenia. I mean understandably, understandably, yeah.

Speaker 1:

I can see that, although it can occur in those with other dementia and brain injury. This is from one case report. Okay, I'll read you this brief. Don't worry, it's not like a whole case report, it's just a paragraph from it. Mrs D, a 74-year-old married housewife, recently discharged from a local hospital after her first psychiatric admission presented to our facility for a second opinion, she had received the diagnosis of atypical psychosis. Because of her belief that her husband had been replaced by another unrelated man, she refused to sleep with the imposter, locked her bedroom door at night, asked her son for a gun and finally fought with the police when attempts were made to hospitalize her. At times she believed her husband was her long-deceased father. She easily recognized other family members and would misidentify her husband only Wow. So she was aware of everyone else. Everyone else was normal and right except for her husband.

Speaker 3:

I've got something here. It says in CS you know Kapka's syndrome, the imposter can also replace an inanimate object or an animal.

Speaker 1:

Oh, so she could believe her husband was their dog, right, yes, yes, it is bizarre, it's very bizarre, wow. Oh, speaking of movies, matt, yes, the paranoia induced by this condition has made it a common tool in science fiction books and films, including Invasion of the Body Snatchers. Total Recall and the Stepford Wives. My goodness, yeah Nailed it. So apparently Hollywood knew all about this before we did. I'm just saying what in blazes are you?

Speaker 3:

talking about All right, Well, Total Recall. I can see, you know, he's like hey, I'm this person, but no, I'm this guy.

Speaker 1:

Well, and then his wife was also not, but yeah, I mean, that was in the fan. He got his ass kicked by her. Well, yeah, absolutely All right. Next, all right. How many more do?

Speaker 3:

we have Probably three, all right. Next, all right, how many more do we have? Probably three, all right, perfect. I love it.

Speaker 1:

Keep going, fregoli delusion Fregoli, fregoli, f-r-e-g-o-l-i, f-r-e Got it. So this is similar to the last one we just talked about. Okay, the Fregoli delusion is a rare disorder in which a person holds a delusional belief that different people are in fact one single person who changes appearance or is in disguise. Okay, the condition is named after the Italian actor Leopoldo Fergoli, who was renowned for his ability to make quick changes of appearance during his stage act. Huh, so he's like, yeah, like he like at the master of disguise on stage. And this is where it came from. What was the actor's?

Speaker 3:

name that was mastered in disguise leopoldo frigoli. No, the newer one, dana carvey oh, oh, impressionist impression.

Speaker 1:

Yes, yes, right, right he can change right.

Speaker 3:

Yep, you know exactly who he is, just based on his facial expression that he makes.

Speaker 1:

This, this sorry, lost my place. Oh. This disorder was first reported in 1927 by two psychiatrists who discussed the case study of a 27-year-old woman who believed that she was being persecuted by two actors whom she often went to see at theater. She believed that these people pursued her closely, taking the form of people she knows or meets. So, to put it in a real-life example, I could believe that my son was actually Brad Pitt in disguise and he was there just to mess with me. I mean, that's kind of the logic.

Speaker 3:

It's not really logical, but that's the kind of thinking that goes along with it when he walks around the house going what's in the box, what's in the fucking box? I saw a picture of Brad Pitt with a big smile on his face, looking in a box.

Speaker 2:

Morgan Freeman's walking up behind him.

Speaker 1:

I just saw that.

Speaker 3:

And then there's cats in the box.

Speaker 1:

Yes, I just saw that. Yes, I swear Matt, I just saw that today I saw that meme today.

Speaker 3:

That's why it clicked with me. Ah, finally it's been answered.

Speaker 1:

What's in the box? Cotard delusion.

Speaker 3:

Cotard delusion.

Speaker 2:

You're not supposed to say that.

Speaker 3:

With a C-C-O C-O-T-A-R-D.

Speaker 1:

Okay. Cotard syndrome Cotard delusion is a rare psychiatric disorder in which a person holds a delusional belief that he or she is dead, Okay, Does not exist, is putrefying or has lost their blood or internal organs. I just read that part. I'm like wow, okay, rarely, it can include delusions of immortality, Okay, because I mean, if you believe that all your insides are gone, then something's keeping you alive.

Speaker 3:

Right, I don't need lungs, take them both.

Speaker 1:

I don't need them. So here's one case study from January 1990. After his discharge from the hospital in Edinburgh, his mother took him home to South Africa. He was convinced that he had been taken to hell, which was confirmed by the heat, of course, and that he had died of septicemia, which had been a risk early in his recovery, or perhaps from AIDS. He had read a story about someone with AIDS who died, or from an overdose of yellow fever injection. He thought he had borrowed my mother's spirit to show me round hell and that he was asleep in scotland. It is named after jules cotard, a french neurologist, who first described the condition which he called oh, I'm not going to be able to say this uh, the delir de negation, negation delirium, in a lecture in paris in 1880. It's also called walking corpse syndrome. Oh, yep, fantastic.

Speaker 3:

Yep Interesting. So, people believe they're dead. Yeah, parts of the body are missing. Yeah, they're dying dead or just don't exist. Yep, I don't have a heart. How is the blood getting through my system?

Speaker 1:

Well, yeah, I'm immortal. Well, I mean, these are delusions, these are mental illnesses, so this is not normally logically functioning people.

Speaker 3:

Yeah, webmd is saying there's about 200 known cases worldwide.

Speaker 1:

Okay, yeah, so very rare, very rare, very rare, very rare. Okay, I think this is our last one. Okay, yes, okay, reduplicative Paramnesia, if you just want to see the spelling it. But an identical looking hospital in a different part of the country? Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 3:

There's like time and space going on. Yes, yes, with this paramnesia.

Speaker 1:

The term reduplicative paramnesia was first used in 1903 by the Czechoslovakian neurologist Arnold Pick to describe a condition in a patient with suspected Alzheimer's disease who insisted that she had been moved from Pick's city clinic to one she claimed looked identical but was in a familiar suburb. To explain the discrepancy, she further claimed that Pick and the medical staff worked at both locations. So with this one, with most of these, I'm going to say there's a lot of rationalization as far as your thinking goes. I mean, and I put it like this when people are delusional, many times they believe they're delusion. Many times people are aware that they're delusional, but in this case they believe they're delusion. Many times people are aware that they're delusional right, but in this case they believe they believe their delusion. They will be insistent that there's a duplicate place that I got moved to and nothing you say is going to deter them from that thought okay, okay, that is wild I know it's just, it's just bizarre um.

Speaker 3:

These are mind-blowing. No, I know Mind-blowing, really, when I said, bizarre mental disorders.

Speaker 1:

These are definitely, you know, again, these are not common. I don't want anybody out there to freak out and be like, oh my God, I don't want to get that. Believe me, it's very rare and a lot of these bizarre conditions are predicated on probably already having probably some sort of mental illness, probably already having probably some sort of mental illness, Although I will say and that's not fair either, because you know, in my opinion, 95% of the population has some something.

Speaker 3:

There's also reduplicative amnesia reduplicative amnesia as well. So the delusional misidentification of syndromes that are out there, that one is rare but associated with a traumatic or an acquired brain injury or even a stroke.

Speaker 1:

Ah, there you go, right, so there's already some neurological deficiencies.

Speaker 3:

Yes, and that's particularly when there is a simultaneous damage to the right cerebral hemisphere and to both frontal lobes at the same time. Yeah, so that's where some of these syndromes are coming. Is from something that has happened or that you were maybe born?

Speaker 1:

with. So so we can say it is a form of dementia or it is a form of of a neurological damage at times. So so, like I said, I don't want people to forget these are very rare in in. Uh, you know it's not something you should be worried about or lose sleep over, but but again, these are bizarre mental health diagnoses.

Speaker 3:
