Shatner, Heart Attacks, Fisticuffs + Takei

William Shatner has gone where no man has gone before… and at 92, he’s just getting started. Really? No, really! Jason and Peter had to find out how Bill remains curious, energized, motivated, and relevant. WARNING: The interview did not go as planned!

Forgiveness, Seinfeld Grudges + The Science of Blame

It seems that the denizens of New London, Connecticut have real issues with forgiveness and letting go. Every year they throw a bizarre festival castigating the infamous American Revolutionary War-era traitor Benedict Arnold for giving information to the British forces leading them to raid and burn New London in 1781. The annual event consists of parades with revelers wearing tricorn hats, carrying mock bayonets and torches and other commemorations all culminating in the burning of Arnold in effigy after 242 years. Really, no really! Forgiving is not always easy, it’s like trying to fold a giant fitted sheet—a seemingly impossible task that requires patience, flexibility, and perhaps a touch of divine intervention. So that got us thinking about how anger, resentment, and hatred impact our wellbeing and what the benefits of forgiveness may offer us. And because it’s what he does, Peter tracked down the Godfather of forgiveness, the man who recognized its power and has since dedicated his life to the research and proliferation of forgiveness. Lauded as a “game changer in modern psychology” by the American Psychological Foundation, Dr. Robert Enright holds the Aristotelian Professorship in Forgiveness Science in the UW–Madison School of Education’s Department of Educational Psychology. He’s also a five-time Nobel Peace Prize nominee, winner of the 2022 American Psychological Foundation’s Gold Medal Award for Impact in Psychology, and author of the first scientific study on person-to-person forgiveness. IN THIS EPISODE: Forgiveness defined and its scientifically proven benefits. When someone forgives but keeps punishing you. Does forgiveness negate justice? The cultures that have adopted unconditional forgiveness. Should schools teach forgiveness as part of a basic curriculum? Too much forgiveness? Toxic forgiveness? 100 men in maximum-security prison; how forgiveness affected them? The step-by-step process to achieve forgiveness. The scientific reason we blame people. Jason’s mother’s reason for blaming people. Historical feuds, Seinfeld grudges & producer Lorre’s vendettas. Peter’s skin’s quality and why Jason likes touching him. FOLLOW DR.

Noise Pollution, Misophonia + Chewing Rage

Everyone is bothered by certain sounds – chewing noises, dogs barking, babies crying, leaf blowers, but 20% of the population could have a very different, more visceral reaction - anger and panic! These intense reactions are attributed to a real condition called misophonia and it’s only the tip of the iceberg in terms of how noise is increasingly driving us insane. Really, no really! In a previous episode (S1/E15) Jason discovered that Peter has misophonia, defined by WebMD as a disorder in which certain sounds trigger emotional or physiological responses that some might perceive as unreasonable given the circumstance. Jason and Peter wanted to better understand what this condition is since it affects so many people, so they sought out Dr. Jane Gregory, a clinical psychologist and researcher based at the University of Oxford. She is a leading expert in therapy techniques adapted specifically for misophonia and set up two of the first NHS psychology services for misophonia in the UK. She’s also the author of the forthcoming book, “Sounds Like Misophonia: How to stop small sounds from causing extreme reactions.” And she really hates the sound of her husband* eating and breathing. Some of the topics they discuss: The proliferation of noise pollution and its dangerous effects on society. Ways to tell if you have misophonia. Why Queen Elizabeth only allowed rounded ice cubes. Can misophonia cause road-rage and other extreme behavior? Why more Americans have become more sensitive to noise. Techniques sufferers can adopt to help cope with this condition. How environmental sounds create anxiety and stress in the body. How noise levels are affecting birds, frogs and other animals’ patterns and mating habits. The quietest place on Earth.

Talking Dogs, Stoned Dolphins and Screaming Wheat

Dogs are talking on social media! They hit buttons triggering prerecorded words that can inform their pet parents of their needs, their desires, their concerns, and even their opinions. But are they really communicating? Could this just be some elaborate Internet hoax, or have we as human beings vastly underestimated the animal kingdom’s gift of gab? Think of the implications! Would you really want to know that your terrier thinks you’re an underachiever or that your shih tsu doesn’t trust your mate? And didn’t your defiled couch already send that message? Jason and Peter spoke with some of social media’s superstar talking dogs and cats and their pet parents to try and get some answers. And during their investigation they were presented with a whole host of surprising and astonishing animal behaviors that may just make you rethink what you decide to serve for dinner. After listening to this episode, you’ll also be able answer the questions: What animal witnessed a murder and snitched to the police?

If Chemtrails Aren’t Real, Why Are They Being Banned?

We’ve all seen them…white streaks emanating from behind commercial airliners. Is it water vapor or is there something more nefarious being released at 30,000ft? Tennessee legislators were so alarmed by these white plumes, they just passed legislation banning so-called “chemtrails” and any other form of geoengineering. Really, no Really! Chemtrails have been linked to conspiracies about secretive government forces who are using them to release chemicals that could cause sterilization, reduction of life expectancy, mind and weather control and a whole host of other sinister outcomes. But are any of these conspiracies real? When Jason and Peter, saw that 6 or more states are taking up similar anti-chemtrail legislation, they turned to Dr. Joshua Horton, Senior Program Fellow for Geoengineering at the Harvard Kennedy School for answers. IN THIS EPISODE: If chemtrails aren’t real, why are they being banned? Geoengineering and manipulating our weather explained. The Chemtrail myths exposed! What are contrails and what causes them?

Bathrooms, Privacy and Seinfeld

Jerry Seinfeld famously joked about bathroom stall doors in public bathrooms that don’t go to the floor. It’s a hilarious comedy bit but Jason and Peter take bathroom privacy very seriously, so they had to find the definitive answer. This led them to award winning, public restroom expert, Chad Kaufman who revealed the real reason stall doors aren’t longer AND the shocking truth about bathroom hand blowers. As their investigation deepened, they realized that inadequately sized bathroom doors are just a symptom of a much larger problem in our homes and online. Most of us seem to be okay with the just…the illusion of privacy! So Jason and Peter spoke to world renown white-hat hacker Ralph Echemendia about privacy, hacking and the end of passwords. And to help us retain some dignity now that post Covid many of us are back to work, out and about and forced to use public restrooms, we enlisted the help of an etiquette expert, Diane Gottsman. She offers suggestions and some ground rules for making a trip to the restroom just a bit more comfortable. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information. Learn more about your ad choices.

Howie Mandel: AGT Criticism, Stage Moms + Acting Tricks

A well-respected German ballet director, perturbed about a negative review, smeared dog feces in his critic’s face. Really, no really! This story got Jason and Peter wondering about the nature of criticism - how we give it, how we take it, and how it affects us! So, they enlisted Howie Mandel, who has critiqued all manner of performances over his 14+ years as a judge on Americas Got Talent… to discuss, interpret and analyze. Howie had some interesting opinions and insights such as: Why you shouldn’t put your kids on TV. A sure-fire way to get a Network to pick up your pilot. Why we remember bad reviews so clearly, yet the positive comments fade away. Howie’s least favorite acts. Why regularly appearing on David Letterman’s Top 10 List was immensely painful.

AI…A visionary’s unique take!

The man considered “The Godfather of A.I.” Geoffrey Hinton abruptly resigned from Google saying… a worst-case A.I. scenario could be on the horizon. With Big Tech companies going all-in on potentially apocalyptic technology while seemingly ignoring the “pause letter” concerned tech leaders created - we were left saying… Really, no,really? Feeling that an informed discussion of A.I. and the potential destruction of humanity felt above their “pay grade”, Jason and Peter turned to Silicon Valley visionary Jaron Lanier. Computer scientist, composer, artist, and author, Jaron Lanier stands alone as the father of virtual reality, having coined the term and also mixed reality. He was chief scientist for Internet2, led startups that were acquired by Google, Adobe, Oracle, and Pfizer and Lanier's books include: You Are Not a Gadget: A Manifesto, Who Owns the Future? and Ten Arguments for Deleting Your Social Media Accounts Right Now. He is also known as a constructive critic of technology. Issues Jason, Peter and Jaron discuss: What ever happened to The Pause”? Are A.I. hysterics worsening the underlying problem? Ethically endowed A.I. The reality of sentient and self-directed AI. The dangers of “Ad sponsored A.I. manipulation”. The design choice that gave us internet anonymity -and put us all in peril! Society may be rooting for an A.I. apocalypse. A TikTok be ban? Jaron’s opinion may surprise you. Will the government turn off the Internet?
