In the 90s, Pablo Escobar imported four hippos for his personal zoo. After his death, the hippos flourished in the jungles of Colombia and four hippos grew to 170, now dubbed the "Cocaine Hippos". Inspired by the story of how they're looking to sterilize these hippos, I wrote about "Thought Hippos" which are the invasive thoughts in your brain, and created a guide on how to identify and eradicate them. Fun!
As mentioned in the episode, there is a behind the scenes video that goes with it. It talks about how I wrote the post and is just PACKED with juicy hippo info.
