Why Are We Still Doing This?

Episode #40 is a very special RE-RELEASE of our very first Halloween edition of Why Are We Still Doing This?, recording in October of 2025. Joined by two of my best friends Kevin and Colin Moran, we talk about the history of their childhood home and the robust amount of paranormal activity over the past 50 years, hilarious Ouija board shenanigans from our youth, a spine chilling recount of coming face to face with an apparition, rules and conditions for ghosts and how they should haunt, connecting with family members long after they’ve left this earth, and much more.

This episode features TWO VIDEOS of what we believe is paranormal activity at the Moran family home. If you’re listening on Spotify, you can find the video clip by clicking on a small thumbnail right underneath the date of the show and just above the description. If you’re listening on YouTube, the clips will be embedded into the video.

In episode 38, we explore neurotic behavior surrounding laundry and its many subtle levels between washings, ADHD hell and trying to figure out if you should shower or exercise first, outside vs. inside clothes, the extreme sport that is successfully navigating public stalls and leaving as germ free as possible, the appearance of capability vs actual capability in cars and how it ties into masculinity, and men who would rather “suck it up” than just be comfortable in situations to avoid being labelled too effeminate.

In episode #37, I return to stand up comedy for one night and why there is usually something great on the other side of fear, password fatigue and why it's the reason people don’t sign up for anything anymore, having a boomer moment and falling for a scam that ultimately was sent to everyone in my workplace, navigating answering machines, car phones, and other nostalgic analog equipment, taking the phone in the bathroom at a time when the phone still had a cord, and who I most look forward to seeing when I’m performing music or comedy.

In episode #36, we reminisce about the wonder years of stealing cable television and the infamous devices used to obtain such content, the ridiculous amount of mental energy it took as a teenage boy to enjoy watching late night scrambled television, the archaic process of ordering sports and professional wrestling pay per views, clearing your schedule in order to watch your favorite television show, and the vast difference between your children's favorite television shows compared to what yours were when you were growing up.

In episode 35, I recap my very first cruise and some of the things I will never be able to unsee-including one that will live in cruise ship lore for centuries, cruise ship employees practically begging you to wash your hands before eating, why playing reggaeton at a beach should be criminalized, the need to pinpoint where we pick up illnesses while on vacation, life of a cruise ship employee and why you should tip them well, and one of the most terrifying and intense tests of willpower and self control I've ever had to endure that just so happened to take place in my most favorite place in the entire world.

This episode contains recounts of nauseating and foul experiences on a cruise ship, however if you are used to cruising then this shouldn't surprise you.

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.

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/)

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.

Remember when you could wake up and not be bombarded with information, good or bad?

In Episode #31, we talk about doomscrolling immediately after opening your eyes as opposed to listening to the birds chirp, using a WAKE UP CALL and having your entire day hang in the balance of a complete stranger to get you out of bed, remembering a time of just not knowing something and not having the answer to every question at your fingertips, and having nothing to talk about with friends because they’re already told the world what’s going on in their life via social media.
