- A Snapple bottle opening
- An orchestra tuning, with a couple instruments clearly off-key
- A breaking incandescent light bulb
In this episode, Mike explores the phenomenon of ASMR, or Autonomous Sensory Meridian Response. Or, as some call it, a “head orgasm,” brought on by certain sounds, like whispering.
