There's so much news happening around the world that we're somehow supposed to stay on top of.

That's why we launched The Big Take.

It's a daily podcast from Bloomberg and I Heart Radio that turns down the volume a bit

to give you some space to think.

I'm Wes Kosova.

Each weekday I dig into one important story and talk about why it matters.

Listen to The Big Take on The I Heart Radio App, Apple Podcasts or wherever you listen.

Hi there everybody, it's me Josh, your friend Josh.

And this week I've selected, do you really stay conscious after decapitation?

There is one of our top three grisliest episodes we've ever done.

We talk in depth about what it's like to have your head cut off.

And it's pretty grim.

But it's also, in my opinion, one of the most interesting ones we've ever done.

So if you are faint of heart or weak of stomach, skip this one if you like,

but I dare you to listen anyway because it is that good.

Welcome to Stuffy Should Know, GrimhouseStuffWorks.com.

Hey and welcome to the podcast on Josh Clark.

There is Charles W. Chuck Bryant, Sleep at the Mike.

Wake up Chuck.

I could follow Sleep right now.

What's wrong with you?

Is it pollen?
