I talk with a professor and fellow storyteller from Lancaster, Pennsylvania. We discuss the social dynamic between John and his son, meeting his wife, Rocky Horror, neuromythology, teaching, storytelling, regretting the childhood view of reading as a chore, movies taking the place of literature, bad sequels, the gradual decline of The Simpsons, adventures in Las Vegas, Lancaster drivers, Boston drivers, LA drivers, what I originally wanted to do with my life, why I don't want to be a stand-up comedian, Jeopardy, how game shows influenced my personality and career choice, working on a cruise ship, Greek mythology, choosing friends, hanging out with people who take risks, life philosophy, Chuck Barris, suicide, themed date nights, and fucking up.
