Why Are You Like This?

We’re back to consulting the stars, as we let you know exactly what October has in store. Who is set to have the best month ever, and who is gearing up for the worst!

This week prepare yourselves for the dramatic retelling of a crime drama as we dig into a phenomenon known as ‘The Hum.’ As rare as it might sound, a quick internet search will show you it’s not that rare at all— with cases reported all over the world. And there are all sorts of hypothetical explanations for it, but no answers. So, what would you do if you perpetually heard a sound that not everyone was convinced was real?

This week on the pod, we really spend some quality time embarrassing the hell out of ourselves as we describe parasocial interactions. We break down the psychological relationships experienced by an audience as we tell you which celebrities we would have definitely been friends with... if they only knew us. Not mention the national treasures that just about everyone feels this way about.

This week on the pod, we’re talking all about following the leader or leaders, if you will. We’re dissecting what psychologists think about your desire to jump of a bridge... you know, because everybody else was jumping. We’re talking about Herd Mentality and how one surrender to blindly following the crowd. Is it always bad and what does it really take to form a mob?

This week on the podcast we’re getting real about fake sweeteners and fake fats. We’re talking our favorite diet sodas with more enthusiasm than people who have read the chemical ingredients should. Not to mention some Craigslist highlights from people who have consumed a few too many fat free potato chips. Friends don’t let friends eat sugar free jelly beans, ya know?

We’re back! Coming at you for the second time this week with our favorite Season 3 addition. We, your favorite podcast hosts (who are not astrologers, financial advisors, or... well, a lot of other things) are giving you September’s rundown. Who is prepping for the best month ever and who is prepping for the worst? We’ll tell you.

This week on the pod, idiots are ruining games. But that’s just one form of Exhibitionism, and this week we’re talking a bunch. Everything from flashing, streaking, unsolicited dick pics, and a little something known on the internet as reflectoporn. So, where is the line on nonconsensual nudity? Because sometimes it’s threatening and sometimes we can’t stop laughing.

This week on the pod, we’re taking you to hell and back. No seriously. We’ll dissect the experiences of those who believe they have died and come back to life, where they thought they were in the meantime, and some unique techniques scientists have employed to prove or disprove out of body experiences. So, what’s it like to flatline?

This week on the podcast, we’re joined by our friend Matt for a special guest fueled episode. Together, we discuss what it’s like to grow up in a church and what it’s like to move away (literally and figuratively) from said church. We’re talking youth group ski trips, seminary, and a lot of things in between all that. So, fix your halo.

This week on the pod, we’re talking all about compromise. And yes, we’re trying to get outside of what all those handshaking stock photos and the infographics from your sixth grade history textbook have to say about it. We’re talking about times it makes us sacrifice our values, get defensive, feel resentment and maybe when it isn’t the the best solution.

SURPRISE. We're coming at you twice this week with an exciting addition-- this season, we're serving WHOROSCOPES once a month. So, tune in and check out. We (non-astrologers) are giving you a rundown of who's going to have the best August ever... and who's going to have the worst August ever. Don't say we didn’t warn you.

This week on the pod’s Season Three Premiere, we’re talking all about Imposter Syndrome. You know... that feeling when you doubt your accomplishments and have that nagging fear of being exposed as a "fraud". It’s a feeing we come to believe we can truly ALL enjoy.

This week on the pod, we’re bringing you some of our favorite moments from Seasons 1 & 2 of Why Are You Like This? This week’s BEST OF is a trip down memory lane with a guest appearance by Mariska Hargitay.

This week on the pod, we’re delving into the literal and preverbal heart of purity balls. We’re telling you everything you need to know about a little documentary called The Virgin Daughters. We’ll tell you what has us pulling our hair out, who has some pretty redeeming qualities, and who might just be performing an elaborate cosplay— all while a bunch of daughters in Colorado Springs pledge their virginity to their fathers. Yep, you heard that right.

This week on the pod, we’re diving into the world of Swingers. We’re talking about what television programming taught us and what some psychologists are hearing via some interesting data collection. We’ll also take a journey through which of Brad Pitt’s couplings are our preferred swinging partners... So, are your keys in the bowl?

This week on the pod, we’re recounting stories of people who had memories of events before they were alive as well as the science behind generations of inherited trauma. And without even trying we’re back to the great debate of nature versus nurture. So are you born a blank slate or do you come preprogrammed?

This week on the pod, we take a hard look at Hyperthymesia or Super Memory. Because we’ve got to ask— What would it be like to remember every detail of your life and have easy access to recall any memory at any time? Does forgetting help us find a clarity that remembering doesn’t allow us to have? And who is this mysterious Jill character?

This week on the podcast, we’re doing something a little different... we’re taking you on the road with us. We’re talking the adventurous spirit of road trips, what makes an ideal companion, and (maybe most importantly) our preferred snacks for the occasion. So, meet us at the Cracker Barrel?

This week on the pod, we’re talking about those friendships you formed because people were... well, they just happened to be there. Is there merit in this kind of relationship? Can it become something deeper or are we just using each other? And yeah, we’d like to know— are you still friends with that girl from your dorm?

This week on the pod, we’re playing two truths and a lie... actually I think we might just be playing three lies. Because this week we’re talking all about liars, the many forms they take, and the many lies they tell. When is it okay to lie? Is it ever? If not, we’re pretty much doomed as we recount some of the terrible lies we told throughout our childhood and the ones we’re maybe not so ashamed to tell now.
