<p>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.</p><p><br></p><p>Why Are We Still Doing This? is a biweekly podcast on Spotify, iHeart Radio, Amazon Music, Apple Podcast, or wherever you get your podcasts.</p><p><br></p><p>If you'd like to write in, you can do so at:</p><p>whyarewestilldoingthispodcast@gmail.com</p><p><br></p><p>If you'd like to support the channel, you can do so at:</p><p><br></p><p>buymeacoffe.com/whyarewestilldoingthis</p><p><br></p><p>Also, please follow me on TikTok at:</p><p><br></p><p>whyarewestilldoingthispc</p>

Episode #31: Why Are We Still Waking Up To Other People's Problems?
<p>Remember when you could wake up and not be bombarded with information, good or bad? </p><p><br></p><p>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.</p><p><br></p><p>If you’d like to support the channel, you can do so at <a href="https://buymeacoffee.com/whyarewestilldoingthis?fbclid=IwZXh0bgNhZW0CMTAAYnJpZBExWEZoNGZsc2F0OFEyeUR0MnNydGMGYXBwX2lkEDIyMjAzOTE3ODgyMDA4OTIAAR4JnEyN4n7bkwSHhcbGm-VdjZmhp4XvlQ2fkGlSPRQZ8gTRTSZHkVI9mG7-BA_aem_RniU0jfkAPK_HhvVgz71AA" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://buymeacoffee.com/whyarewestilldoingthis</a></p><p><br></p><p>If you'd like to follow me on TikTok, you can do so @whyarewestilldoingthispc</p><p><br></p><p>And if you’d like to write in, you can do so at whyarewestilldoingthispodcast@gmail.com</p>

Episode #30: "Why Are We Still Fighting Children For Foul Balls?"
<p>In episode #30, I have the unfortunate duty of sifting through dozens of comments by grown men who argue why they should keep a foul ball at a major league baseball game instead of making a random child’s day and passing it on to them. This is in response to a TikTok I had made about how strongly I feel that making a kids day by gifting them a foul ball at a baseball game is by far a better feeling than keeping said ball, which will most likely end up in a random box in the far netheregions of the garage. I’ll share a link to this particular TikTok in the show notes, but for now I’ll share my rebuttal to the ones that stuck out. </p><p>If you’d like to support the channel, you can do so at <a href="https://buymeacoffee.com/whyarewestilldoingthis"><u>https://buymeacoffee.com/whyarewestilldoingthis</u></a></p><p>Check out my TikTok page at: https://www.tiktok.com/@whyarewestilldoingthispc</p><p>And if you’d like to write in, you can do so at <a href="mailto:whyarewestilldoingthispodcast@gmail.com"><u>whyarewestilldoingthispodcast@gmail.com</u></a></p><p><br></p>
