Description

[Artwork explainer: comedian Kyle Dunnigan as Charlemagne. See more below.] This special episode intertwines Great Podcast Moments--both silly and serious, from comedy & psychology podcasts--with original insights on related subjects. We begin our heartfelt, joyful exploration with a fun-yet-serious question posed by comedian Kyle Dunnigan in the opening moments of the episode: (Excerpted audio borrowed from You Made It Weird with Pete Holmes) "[Kyle Dunnigan]: "Why don't they teach--This is my question. Okay, we learn how to count or whatever--do math, calculus--never gonna use it. All these things we're never gonna use. Charlemagne! I know about Charlemagne! And I don't care, and it doesn't matter. Why don't they teach ANYTHING--even like a half hour--on how to deal with our emotions?! Things we deal with 24/7, all day, keeps us up at night... ...Even a hint! Like: 'Oh, by the way'--Like 48 minutes of Charlemagne, and then like 'By the way, you don't have to believe all your thoughts!' Then the bell rings, go to recess. Like: 'Oh, let me think about that--' NOTHING!" [...] [Pete Holmes]: "A little bit of emotional intelligence training!" [Kyle]: "TEN seconds!" [Pete]: "Just give us ten seconds!" ******** And more like that. Only different. Never not serious but also frequently silly. You'll laugh, you'll learn--you'll love it. Or you won't. ********* CREDITS, LINKS: Samantha Stiers, writer, poet extraordinaire Kyle and Pete on <a href='https://pl
