The Physiology of Swearing

Joe Rogan -- comedian, martial artist, and podcast host -- did a podcast today with Dr. Andrew Weil -- author and doctor of integrative medicine. Tuning in during the middle of the podcast, I was lucky to catch a clip of Dr. Weil talking with Joe about swearing. Joe commonly uses colorful language to season his wide-ranging and thoughtful interviews. Though I think Dr. Weil caught Joe a little off-guard by bringing up the topic, Dr. Weil had some fascinating insights into the subject and the gentlemen had a great exploratory conversation about the physiological and cultural aspects of swearing. Apparently it is a subject that Dr. Weil has researched.
