Vice President Kamala Harris has faced criticism for laughing during discussions on serious topics, such as the impact of COVID-19 on parents. Some observers suggest her behavior may be a symptom of Pseudo-Bulbar Affect (PBA), a neurological condition characterized by uncontrollable laughing or crying. The theory posits that her "cackle" is an involuntary response to stress or sad news, rather than a reflection of her actual mood.
Peter Rodger, PBA Commercial and Hollywood Career
The career of the shooter's father, Peter Rodger, is examined, including his work as a second unit director on "The Hunger Games" and his documentary "Oh My God." He also directed a commercial for PBA (Pseudo-Bulbar Affect), a condition involving uncontrollable laughing or crying.
Obama Pentagon Checkup, Pseudo Bulbar Affect
President Obama underwent a "routine fitness evaluation" at the Pentagon, a location the hosts find unusual for a presidential checkup. They also revisit the "Pseudo Bulbar Affect" (PBA) medical condition discussed in a previous show, noting that the expensive medication being marketed for it is essentially a combination of common cough medicine ingredients.
Pseudo-Bulbar Affect and Nuedexta Pharmaceutical Marketing
A new medical condition called Pseudo-Bulbar Affect (PBA), characterized by uncontrollable laughing or crying, is being promoted through television advertisements. The hosts examine the "science" behind the condition and the FDA-approved treatment, Nuedexta, from Avenir Pharmaceuticals. They joke about the potential for using the drug to silence audiences at comedy clubs.
