Short Stuff: Evil Eye

# Summary

Join Josh and Chuck as they explore the fascinating and ancient tradition of the evil eye, that wordless curse delivered through a single jealous or angry glance that cultures around the world have feared for thousands of years. The hosts dive into the historical roots tracing back to ancient Greece and Egypt, learn how different cultures from Italy to Turkey to India protect their loved ones (especially vulnerable babies and pregnant women) with amulets and rituals, and discover some genuinely surprising connections like how ancient eye idols bear an uncanny resemblance to E.T. Whether you've given someone the stink eye or felt the weight of someone's envious gaze, this episode explains the surprisingly rich and global mythology behind one of humanity's most universal superstitions.
