These girls have OCD? 35 00:03:45,358 --> 00:03:55,702 Not necessarily. I mean, you should talk to their parents. Basically, the song is just stuck like an earworm in their head. What is the cure? 36 00:03:55,768 --> 00:03:59,539 Well, the simplest treatment is distraction. I gave them gum. Gum? Why gum? 37 00:03:59,606 --> 00:04:03,776 Well, sometimes the distraction of gum chewing can keep the mind from obsessing on the song. And if it fails? 38 00:04:03,843 --> 00:04:12,452 There's ERP-- exposure and response prevention." It's about changing the response when the song pops in their head.

Sami's gonna bleed just a little bit, but she'll think it's just from your fist. Then you just drop your arm down by your side like this, and let it slip out.

Illness-like behavior that quickly spreads to a whole group. Even behavior like singing? Uh, in 1962, there was a laughter epidemic in Tanzania. Three students at a boarding school started laughing uncontrollably, and then 159 others seemed to catch it. And the school couldn't control it. In fact, the more that they tried, the worse it got. It spread to three villages in the area. Why? 94 00:12:31,584 --> 00:12:38,791 There were a lot of theories. Emotions are contagious, so many believe it to be an extreme emotional contagion.

And I found traces of (girls humming "Pudsy's Christmas") anhydrous ammonia (girls humming "Pudsy's Christmas") anhydrous ammonia on the produce. It's a pesticide.

Why did you put scissors in your ear? 168 00:21:04,696 --> 00:21:07,933 The noise. It just kept getting worse. 169 00:21:09,668 --> 00:21:12,871 Have you ever heard of anything called "Pudsy's Christmas"? 170 00:21:12,938 --> 00:21:19,444 No. KRISTEN: The school's given us permission to check your browser history. Are you okay with that? 171 00:21:19,511 --> 00:21:22,681 Mm-hmm. Yeah, it's in my bag. 172 00:21:24,416 --> 00:21:25,851 What about school lunches? 173 00:21:25,917 --> 00:21:28,353 Have you been eating a lot of the salads? 174 00:21:28,420 --> 00:21:31,823 No. No? 175 00:21:31,890 --> 00:21:33,825 What do you eat at the cafeteria? 176 00:21:33,892 --> 00:21:37,295 French fries. That's all you eat, French fries? 177 00:21:37,362 --> 00:21:44,469 Yeah. Everything else is gross. Okay. KRISTEN: We really need your help getting to the bottom of this. 178 00:21:47,539 --> 00:21:49,875 Emma, what is Malindaz? 179 00:21:49,941 --> 00:21:51,877 "Malindaz"? 180 00:21:51,943 --> 00:21:56,381 Influencer, talks about clothes and makeup and stuff.

Today's video is especially for you. 184 00:22:12,164 --> 00:22:18,470 Hey, guys! Today's video is especially for you. I'm calling it "Malindaz Challenge." This can't be the reason, can it? 185 00:22:18,470 --> 00:22:28,580 Hmm. It's an amazing 95 minutes long. And anybody who watches the whole thing and says "Malindaz Challenge" three times at the end will go crazy! 186 00:22:30,000 --> 00:22:30,000 will go crazy! 187 00:22:31,550 --> 00:22:43,361 No joke, girl, completely insane. So don't do it! Only three people have ever done it, and they ended up in Bellevue. So stop at the two mark... (opera singing): ♪ And don't you dare say ♪ 188 00:22:45,197 --> 00:23:19,464 (normal voice): ...three times. You have been warned. She's trying to make the site sound dangerous. The less their parents would approve, the more kids will want to watch it. Listen. Background music. The shade that might be best for you... BEN: There it is. ("Pudsy's Christmas" playing) That's it. ("Pudsy's Christmas" playing) That's it. That's where they heard it. If you've got, like, freckles, you want to kind of use it sparingly. Okay, all right. I will make the sacrifice and watch the whole thing. Well, this is no time for bravery. I'm gonna let you. Thank you. Come look for me in Bellevue. But, first... Oh, what is this? 189 00:23:19,531 --> 00:23:21,733 ...presents! 190 00:23:22,901 --> 00:23:24,836 Are we supposed to open them right now? 191 00:23:24,903 --> 00:23:30,475 You can open them after I leave.

("Pudsy's Christmas" playing) So first, foundation. 194 00:23:43,255 --> 00:24:18,990 Ooh, this is a shade that might be best for you. It's a bit glowy, so if you've got, like, freckles, you want to kind of use it sparingly. 'Cause you know what I always say! Use what you naturally have. Whatever distinguishes you. And maybe for you, that's freckles, so make sure we can see them. I'm not in love with the texture of this brand as it goes on, but I am all about some of their colors, especially when I use it with my usual foundation. And that's liquid foundation, right? 195 00:24:19,057 --> 00:24:31,903 Never Stick-- check it out. You know me; I can sometimes be all about my neutral look. (Ben chuckles) And you can go for something more dramatic, of course, but remember... 196 00:24:36,074 --> 00:24:55,193 Heavier coverage concealer can be your best of best friends when you've been out till dawn. I know you know what I'm talking about. Don't overdo it. One dot is all it takes. A good concealer can literally cover all your sins.

Doctor thinks her eardrum will recover. What I don't understand is how this happened. Did your daughters hear anything in that Malindaz Challenge video? Yes. They said they heard a voice coming from my room while I was watching the video. I listened to all 95 minutes of that stupid video, and there was no voice. Yes, there was. Listen to this. 243 00:31:56,180 --> 00:31:57,415 You guys hear anything? 244 00:31:57,482 --> 00:32:06,391 No. Good.

Are you kidding? 245 00:32:06,457 --> 00:32:08,493 Those are sounds that only teenagers can hear? 246 00:32:08,559 --> 00:32:19,170 Yep. Science is weird. Now, this is what they're really hearing.

That is a suicide instruction meme that only teenagers can hear. Why? 248 00:32:30,715 --> 00:32:34,585 Because some people like to do bad things. 249 00:32:36,220 --> 00:32:38,222 They're clout chasing. Clout? 250 00:32:38,222 --> 00:32:48,333 Yeah.

The problem was peasants hated potatoes. So the king has his servants build a big brick wall, and behind it he plants potatoes in his secret garden. The peasants grow curious and then upset. They climb over the wall and steal all the food planted there. And that's how potatoes became a staple of the French peasantry. 291 00:38:20,798 --> 00:38:22,600 What does that mean? 292 00:38:25,069 --> 00:38:30,541 The forbidden is always desirable.
