You'd better watch out or that inner gremlin will get you. Who is that self loathing turd inside of all of us and how do we stop it from ruining our lives?  Woody Allen's obsession with young girls. Also, we do some positive affirmations. 

Do you have enough crap!??! NO you don't. Get a job, get to working. Make money and buy more stuff. That's what consumerism tells us. CP explores this phenomena and explains why the Smurfs are EVIL.

This week I swam in my gym pool asking myself this question. And while I don't have the answer yet, I hope I'm moving in the right direction. Also, why was Grease the worst movie to show little girls? Does Socrates have the answers with "Know Thyself?" or was he just really good in Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure?

We lose people, things and situations every day. Grief is an ongoing part of life (Yay!)  My guest Kevin Christy lost his father in a hiking accident 7 years ago. How is he doing now and how does one deal with loss? Also, do you have any happy songs on your ipod? Does Kevin belong to the Bones Brigade? You bet.

In light of the recent Josh Duggar Ashley Madison scandal and Kanye West being a complete douschebag on the VMA's, I find myself asking "why bother being a good person when some people seem to opt out?" I explore this question using the philosophy of Oprah Magazine, Philosophy Now Magazine and the late great Wayne Dyer. Enjoy!

My mother died and I talk about it. Also, what is Borderline Personality Disorder and Schizophrenia? What happens to us when we die? Do you believe in reincarnation?

My friend Dave Reinitz and I discuss optimism and why bother trying to be an optimist? I mean wasn't Pollyana the most annoying person ever? Should we even want to have expectations and what is the value of having a positive attitude? Also, why does Dave hate Dick Cheney so much? 

In this episode, Pat Keane and I discuss self sabotage and motivation. Why do we fail ourselves at crucial moments? What is the payoff? Who knows more sports analogies than Pat Keane?

Who are these emotional vampires that suck our souls and leave us confused and sad? Or just that person who seems to post the same picture of themselves over and over on social media? They are called narcissists. My friend Leslie joins me to discuss the fun of dealing with these personality types.

Who the hell are you? What is this thing we call the self? Philosophy has some answers, but so does Sam Harris. Also, in all the books on self improvement I've read, they say you must get over yourself to be successful and happy. So which is it? Do I find myself or get over it to be happy?
