Why Are You Like This?

If you’re looking for a bit of a lighthearted break on Election Day, we’ve got you— This week on the podcast we’re talking about IQ scores and testing. Is this actually a fair and complete way to measure intelligence? And are IQ scores something to flaunt if you’ve got a high one? We’ll dissect our own feelings about being labeled “smart” and whether we’d rather you call us “smart” or “kind” with some sincere honesty. So, are you smarter than us? Or are you smarter than Ashton Kutcher?

PS— we hear they add a couple extra points to your IQ score if you vote. It’s like writing your name on the SAT. 🗳

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

We’re popping in today on a special episode to ask the question, “Are we all doomed?” After getting into some of the darkest and scariest sides of our humanity this year, is there any hope?

This week on the podcast, we dive into our final topic of this year’s SPOOKTOBER. It’s been a ride of unpleasantries this month as we’ve analyzed some of the worst parts of our humanity. This week is no exception as we face the fact that we might all be moral hypocrites. How can we expect positivity from humankind if we’re oriented to contradict our own morals and values? We’ll get into it as we do a round up of some of our darker contradictions. AND stay tuned, because we’re back *tomorrow* with a special mini SPOOKTOBER wrap up where we’ll question if humanity is actually just doomed based on all we’ve dissected this month...

This week on the podcast, as SPOOKTOBER continues we dig into even more darkness within. We’re talking about our attraction to evil— whether we want to fuck you, date you, or have you perhaps lead our country, we seem to be inherently attracted to some pretty ugly qualities in other people. How can that be? Is it evolutionary or are we just gluttons for punishment? All that sinister stuff and so much more as we enter our very own Treehouse of Horror this month.

This week on the podcast, we’re bringing you this year’s second installment of SPOOKTOBER. After covering Schadenfreude last week, we bring you a conversation all about Karmic Justice... which together have us concerned we’re manifesting some of what’s been going on in US politics. For better or for worse, topics we’ve decided to call the ‘darkness within’ are showing themselves in real time. So what do you know about Karma? Is it all religious? What about Karmic Justice— is there ever a good time to believe people deserve what they get?

On this year’s first installment of SPOOKTOBER, we take a look at some hard to pronounce German words. We’re digging into Schadenfreude and what it really means to enjoy the suffering and misfortune of others. We’ve also got some questions about the anger and resentment that sometimes accompanies other folk’s good fortune. Is this ever okay? And how did we end up like this in the first place? Follow along this month, as we explore the darkness within...

This month begins our third annual SPOOKTOBER series, and we’re doing things a little differently this year... Today we’ll give you a quick glimpse of what it’s going to look like, and tomorrow we’re dropping the rope ladder to our very own Treehouse of Horror.

This week on the podcast, we’re diving into theories behind time loops. Are we living in one? Will time travel ever be possible? And what has some of us subscribing to these ideas anyway? Maybe just all the repetitious nonsense we get ourselves into and the fact that sometimes we make the same mistakes over and over. So what do you think— are we trapped in a circuit?

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!
