Everyone knows these myths but are they true? This week we're talking about myths like bulls hating the color red, women syncing their menstrual cycles, giving babies alcohol for teething, and hair of the dog as a cure for hangovers! They sound convincing, but the logic is flawed and we talk about why.

Hearing the hosts perpetuate more myths while debunking others doesn't put me in good faith that this podcast is well researched. Women don't faint at the sight of blood because of some crackpot evolutionary mechanism surrounding men's evils. Fainting was socialized as a popular behavior in the Victorian Era because they glamorized tragedy (just look at the literature of the time) and painted frailty, illness, and a weak constitution as the pinnacle of femininity. It was trendy and performative.
Numbing lips when drinking? You guys are debunking myths by something you don't have a cited paper for and that you're not even sure is a thing? Dilating blood vessels, which drinking does, reduces pain in general, like ibuprofen, that's it.
