Penn and Teller discuss why they believe why people getting worked up and scared by stressful situations is bullshit. Penn and Teller take a skeptical view of stress and how the modern man feels the need to "cure" what should be considered a normal, everyday part of life, and not a lucrative market. They attempt to document the progress of three individuals trying to cure their stress problems by three different methods. First a man who tries to relieve his stress by going to an aroma therapist to attempt to 'sniff is his stress away'. Second, a teacher who tries to relieve her stress by testing if she has adrenal fatigue the which could lead to her stress problem. And third, an overworked business woman goes to the day spa to reliever her stress problem. Faux medicine and treatments to combat stress is further investigated. Interviews include: Several medical doctors, and tennis legend John McEnroe.
