We're funny… or at least ChatBestie keeps telling us we are.

But why do we laugh, and where does humor actually come from? Is laughter something we’re born with, or is it learned? Can it actually help us stay healthy or even fight illness?

In this episode, we explore the science of laughter, different humor styles, social situations, and yes… even what rats in experiments can teach us. Plus, we dive into laughter’s health benefits: studies show it may lower cancer risk and improve outcomes for people undergoing immunotherapy. Turns out, laughter really is the best medicine!

If you’ve ever wondered why people laugh at funerals or whether comedians are secretly healing us all, this episode is for you.
