This
American Life podcast episode titled
"I've Fallen In Love and I Can't Get Up,"
which tells the story of Matt Frerking, a
man who suffers from cataplexy, a
condition in which too much joy (emotion)
leads to sudden bouts of paralysis. In
Ode to Joy, Charlie (Martin
Freeman) attempts to manage the condition
while falling in love, literally. Starring

Rauch and Jake Lacy.
