Emotions: Do emotions exist or are they created? Does the movie "Inside Out" accurately portray the experience of emotion? Check out this episode as Bert and Ernie (aka Danny P and Cody B) answer these questions and more. Dr. Ernie does his best to help Dr. Bert understand emotions by defining and using examples to describe what we know about the experience of emotion and how to use that information in day to day life.
