In this curiosity-charged episode of That Don’t Sound Right, Peter and Cecil sit down with Chris—an electrical engineer and friend of the show—to unpack the buzz around grounding sheets, grounding blankets, and the claim that reconnecting your body to the earth can improve sleep, reduce inflammation, and discharge built-up static. From wearables that glitch when you least expect it to childhood games of shock-and-zap, the trio explores why some people swear by going barefoot and whether modern insulated shoes are part of the problem. Chris breaks down the real electrical principles behind grounding, what might be happening when these products work, and why house grounding quality and skin contact matter more than most people realize. The hosts weigh personal anecdotes vs. scientific uncertainty, offer simple experiments for curious listeners, and keep the conversation fun, light, and practical. If you’ve ever wondered whether grounding products are genius, gimmick, or somewhere in between, this episode gives you plenty to think about—plus an open invitation to join the discussion.
