Topic: Gelman Amnesia

A new study claiming that regular napping increases the risk of stroke and high blood pressure is dismissed as "bullshit." One host recounted falling asleep while listening to a "droning" NPR broadcast, suggesting the content was the true health hazard. The segment introduces the "Gelman Amnesia Effect," where individuals recognize news inaccuracies in their field of expertise but trust the news on other topics.

The hosts point out that the primary reason the vaping study found a higher infection risk was that vapers touch their faces more often. They use this as an example of the "Gelman Amnesia Effect," where the media ignores simple explanations in favor of scary headlines.
