(!) In addition, Dr. Seth spotlights a wild news story involving superstar Cher trying to rescue elephants from a zoo transfer. Naturally, he takes his cue to perform an impromptu Cher impression—yes, singing “Just Like Jesse James.” Dr. Seth finishes the episode with a Listener Check-In: Are You an Introvert or an Extravert? and he breaks down the difference (spoiler: it’s not just “shy” vs. “gregarious”).
