History Defeats Itself

How we view child discipline has certainly changed over generations. There was a time when physical and emotional abuse was the norm. At the time they called it tough love. Now we know it was child abuse and created emotionally crippled, angry humans. On this episode Greg leads the crew in a discussion about child discipline and how we are learning that treating kids like humans and with respect can lead to well adjusted, emotionally strong adults. Imagine that. Listen now or John will give you a taste of the back of his hand.

Some people bet on sports, others on the ponies, many love Las Vegas, and still others bet on how many slices of pepperoni a pizza will have when it arrives. Whatever your preferred game of chance one thing is for sure: humans love to bet on things. On the latest episode of HDI Greg takes us through the psychology of gambling. Money will be lost, relationships will be broken, and a man who placed a bet on Tiger Woods will give us a fit not seen since the days of Eric the Anal. Adducci!

Why do we believe in superstitions? We know they're ridiculous. Logically we know that knocking on wood doesn't bring us luck. We know that walking under a ladder isn't going to lead to tragedy. (Well, unless the ladder falls on you while you're under it.) And deep down Greg knows that the order he puts his hockey gear on won't make him any better at the sport. But many of us succumb to these beliefs. On this episode Kevin leads the crew and we're talking superstitions. And we apologize for the appearance of Robot John in place of actual John. We assure you John feels shame for his technical snafu.

When you have great hair...you flaunt it. No matter what age you are. On this episode of HDI the crew discusses hair. And Greg and John attack Kevin's sense of style. Which, if you've met them, is extremely ironic. Plus, we pose the question: if Hitler had worn the Tom Selleck...would Tom Selleck wear the Hitler since the Tom Selleck would be forever frowned upon?

There was a time when "getting your bell rung" or "seeing stars" just meant you needed to shake the cobwebs, grab a smelling salt, and get back out there! Nowadays we know that head injuries are nothing to take lightly. On this episode Greg leads the crew in a discussion about concussions. It's a great conversation, although Greg doesn't remember that on account of all the concussions he's had. This episode is brought to you by Manscaped.

Science denial is everywhere in our society from those who think COVID is a hoax to climate change deniers to people who don't believe hair helmets regrow hair (ahem..Kevin). On this episode the crew talks about how so many people are opting to mistrust scientists with huge brains and years of schooling, research, and training and instead put their faith in a President who looks like the fourth member of the Lollipop Guild. I mean...why not? Side note: John had some marijuana-induced technical issues with his sound file. So please forgive the slight dip in production quality.
