Underdog Meets A Real - Life Gay Vampire – The Howard Stern Show

Thor is a Norse god who wields a hammer, controls thunder and lightning and gets carted around in a chariot by a couple of magical goats. He's also a quippy, long-haired superhero hunk who stars in a series of children's movies. How does this make sense? This week we try to get to the bottom of just what is going on with this guy, but first we complain about going to the bank.

Listen to an excerpt of R. L. Stine's STINETINGLERS, read by Torian Brackett and Katharine Chin. The audiobook edition includes introductions to each story read by the author.

A boy who hates bugs starts to see them everywhere. A basketball player’s skin starts to almost drip off his hands—but no one else can see it. Three friends find a hole in the ground that just gets bigger, and bigger, and bigger... And each story is introduced by Stine himself, providing a personal touch sure to delight fans.

Laced with Stine’s signature humor and a hefty dose of nightmarish fun, Stinetinglers is perfect for fans of Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark and Stine’s own Goosebumps books. These chilling tales prove that Stine’s epic legacy in the horror genre is justly earned. Dive in, and beware: you might be sleeping with the lights on tonight!

Stinetinglers by R. L. Stine, audiobook excerpt

Hold on to your hats, folks, we're about to break the internet because this week's topic is VHS tapes! It's the obsolete technology everyone can't stop talking about, and we're covering everything about it, from its initial development to a deep dive into technical specs. Plus, Tom has a thrilling tale of taking a VCR apart when he was a kid. Believe me, you're not gonna wanna miss this one!See <a href="https://omnystudio.com/listener">omnystudio.com/listener</a> for privacy information.

If you're someone who's a decade or two out from your high school graduation, do you ever find yourself thinking that you're just not as happy as you were back then? Of course all the positive-thinking self-talk then kicks in and you think, "Well, maybe I actually wasn't that happy before. I do like my life better now. I like the independence I have. Yeah, yeah, I really like being an adult." Yet, no matter the glass-half-full glow you try to put on things, you can't shake the feeling that your happiness has declined over the years, that at 30, you weren't as happy as you were at 20, and that at 40, you weren't as happy as you were when you were 30.

Well, that feeling is more than a nostalgic hunch, and it's not unique to you. It's actually been born out by hundreds of research papers and studies and shown to be a near-universal experience. My guest today has authored many of those papers. His name is Dr. David Branchflower and he's a labor economist who not only studies the data around money and jobs, but also around human happiness. Today on the show David explains how happiness follows a U-shaped curve, and starts declining around age 18, and continues to fall into midlife, before picking back up again, and David shares the average age at which happiness hits its very lowest point. While it's not entirely clear why the U-shape of happiness occurs, we talk about some possible reasons behind it. And while the U-shape is consistent across the world, it can be lower or higher, and so we discuss how factors like gender, socio-economic and martial status, and having children affect happiness, and whether it's possible to mitigate the dip.

While the fact that it won't be until your mid-60s that you feel as happy as you were at age 18 might seem depressing, David argues that it's comforting to know that the feelings of declining happiness you experience at you approach midlife are normal, and will not only pass one day, but start moving in the other direction.
