This is Dr. Alex Corb, and I'm going to go play some ultimate frisbee now, but you should stick around and listen to Storyworthy.

Welcome to the Storyworthy podcast. Here are your hosts, Christine Blackburn and Hanna Sfini. Welcome to Storyworthy. My name is Christine Blackburn, and I'm here with Hanna Sfini, and we're coming to you from the Milwaukee County Mental Health Complex on Watertown Plank Road. Wow. How long has it been there? Oh, many years, 50 years. Would you remember when you were a kid going by there? No, I didn't live in that part of town. I just remember the first time my schizophrenic brother ever got incarcerated there. Oh, really? Actually, it was only once, but... You get incarcerated? I thought you get...

Probably the wrong word.

Isn't it like admitted?

Admitted, yes.

Taken away? Yes. You know, yeah, that would be more. That was when I was in college, so that was much later. Okay, okay. Well, we're here. So it's a psychiatric hospital. It's basically, yeah, it's a county grounds and there's a psychiatric hospital.

There's a whole bunch of other hospitals too.

Yeah.

But this particular section of it is. It's basically, yeah, it's a county grounds and there's a psychiatric hospital. There's all a bunch of other hospitals too.

Yeah.

But this particular section of it is. All right. Well, we're coming. And it's like you're in this really nice part of town and you're like, oh, hey, great, nice place for a hospital. Well, it's, you know what? It's nice that it's a good setting for hospitals, especially. Instead of being in the middle of nowhere, like Arkham Asylum and Gotham or something.

I'll tell you what, if you want to talk about, like, depression or mental illness, I feel better if I'm in a nice room or like with sunlight or whatever. So, yeah, you don't want to put a mental hospital in the middle of the freaking, you know, in the projects. Right? I don't know. That would be entertaining in a way. Rehab Center in Malibu. You know what I'm saying? Where do you want to dry out? Malibu or downtown?

Yeah, I don't know. That would be entertaining in way. Listen, think about a rehab center in Malibu. You know what I'm saying?

Where do you want to dry out?

Malibu or downtown?

Yeah, I don't trust that those commercials I see for the, you know, addiction is not a physical, you know, whatever. And this guy's, I think it's all Scientology. I'm just going with that. Okay, you guys. So we're coming here tonight because our guest, Alex Corb, he brings forth a topic, depression and the joy of Frisbee.

Yeah. Okay, you guys, so we're coming here tonight because our guest, Alex Corb, he brings forth a topic, depression and the joy of Frisbee. Yes, yes. And to me, there is nothing more depressing than playing Frisbee. I'm kidding. I'm kidding. It only reminds me of my childhood, which was so much fun. Number one, you're not an outdoor person. I'm not. Frisbee cannot be played in the house. Mom always said, don't play Frisbee in the house. You couldn't afford a Frisbee. You guys were throwing paper plates made stiff with tomato sauce. Same thing. Same thing. Whatever. The point is, this is the topic tonight. So we're here at this mental health facility. Yes, exactly. And where there is actually a large amount of outdoor grounds. So you could play Frisbee if that were, you know, something you'd want to do. Something that word.

Well, Alex knows an awful lot about this topic. He has a PhD and he's a neuroscientist.

So he is a doctor. Is it not about time we have a neuroscientist on this show?

I tell you something. I've been saying it's podcast gold. Forget about the sex stories. Forget about the drugs and the guy who blackout drunk and crashed his head. We need some neuroscientists. Listen, we did have one. Where the traffic is. Did you remember Moran Surf? Yes. He's with UCLA.

He's been on the show twice or three times.
