If you grew up the way I did, you probably learned weed was bad for you. Don't worry, it wasn't the first lie we were told, and in this episode, we dig into the facts of marijuana: its use, consumption, sales, and how my opinion on it did a complete 180 over the course of the pandemic. 

You remember that movie "Gone in 60 Seconds"? There's a social media challenge that has teenagers out here pretending they're professional thieves, and it's called the Kia Challenge. Today, I tell you what it is, how it works, and how to prevent your ride being stolen. 

In this episode, our host strikes up some banter with the Great I Am to pose the important questions, beginning with the most obvious: WHY? 

In this one, I go over a few of the language learning apps that exist out there, and give them a cursory review. I also wax poetic about the Rosetta Stone, so that's kinda neat. 

Today, we take some time to discuss the New Year: how it's celebrated here, in other cultures, and in history. If the narrator had any brains, he would have done this at the month's start and not the end. Oh well. We live and learn. (We live, anyway.) 

In this, our very first episode, we tackle only the big topics: specifically, whether or not pineapple is permissible on a pizza, and what the penalty should be if it isn't. We'll also discuss the biases inherent in every human being and every human culture, and why they're way, way worse than a single objectionable topping on a pie. 

Hello, you beautiful folks. This is an introductory episode serving to let you know what Allergic to Silence is all about--my inability to be quiet, and the topics about which I simply cannot shut up. Broadly speaking, this podcast operates at the intersection of comedy and information. Hopefully it makes you laugh and leaves you a little more knowledgeable about the world and all the things in it.
