  Episode #34 "Why Are We Still Believing Everything Online?"

  Aug 7, 202625 min

  In episode 34, we dive into the exhaustion that is assisting the older generation in navigating the internet...and helping them understand what is and what is not reality, the danger in misinformation and why the people sharing it are still in the back of the classroom, why our relationship with MySpace was pure bliss and now we're stuck in a toxic marriage with Facebook, and why people would rather listen to a guy in a truck yelling about vaccines rather than a scientist.

  Episode #33: "Why Are We Still Heckling Stand Up Comedians?" w/Charlie Nadler

  Jul 24, 202655 min

  In episode 33, I'm joined by my friend and stand up comic Charlie Nadler. Charlie is a hilarious comic who I admire for the professionalism he puts forth in producing comedy shows in the Berkshires of Western Massachusetts. We talk about what needs to happen for a comedy show to be successful, including all the small details that the audience and, more importantly, club, restaurant, and business owners may overlook. We also touch on worst experiences in stand up, handling hecklers, and the difficulty in working out new material in an area with a lack of comedy open mics You can find Charlie hosting regularly in the Berkshires at venues such as the Adams Theater, and Bouti-Fare Restaurant in Adams, MA (https://www.adamstheater.org/ ), Bright Ideas Brewing in North Adams, MA. ( https://www.brightideasbrewing.com/ ). Charlie will also be appearing at the Saratoga Comedy Festival this September ( https://saratogacomedyfest.com/ ) You can find everything Charlie is up to at: www.charlienadler.com Why Are We Still Doing This? is a biweekly podcast on Spotify, iHeart Radio, Amazon Music, Apple Podcast, or wherever you get your podcasts.

  Episode #32: "Why Are We Still Afraid Of The Dark?"

  Jul 10, 202632 min

  In episode 32, I recall the greatest freak out in the history of theme park dark rides, how our offspring inherit the same fears we had as children, how brain wiring affects how people react to fear, helping your child work through fear instead of shaming them, and a bizarre encounter with a scare actor in a haunted attraction in Salem, Massachusetts.

  Episode #30: "Why Are We Still Fighting Children For Foul Balls?"

  Jun 12, 202629 min

  In episode #30, I have the unfortunate duty of sifting through dozens of comments by grown men who argue why they should keep a foul ball at a major league baseball game instead of making a random child’s day and passing it on to them. This is in response to a TikTok I had made about how strongly I feel that making a kids day by gifting them a foul ball at a baseball game is by far a better feeling than keeping said ball, which will most likely end up in a random box in the far netheregions of the garage. I’ll share a link to this particular TikTok in the show notes, but for now I’ll share my rebuttal to the ones that stuck out.
