Crazy TogetherCrazy Together37. Dogs!On this very special episode, Marcus and Esme tackle their most controversial topic to date – dogs! Why are dogs so controversial? Well, if a person says anything remotely negative about dogs, then you can darn well bet the dog lovers will come for that person. So, Marcus and Esme demonstrate great bravery as they attempt to answer the following questions: Why do people love dogs so much?

It Turns Out Everyone is All Up in Their FeelingsAnd when Marcus and Esme say “everyone,” they mean everyone. It turns out that human beings might not be the rational creatures we like to think we are. According to neuroscientist Antonio Damasio, it seems our decision-making abilities are guided and greatly influenced by our emotions.   In this episode, Marcus and Esme discuss Damasio’s theories and how they might explain some of the philosophical and political differences in our county, and why so many of us are susceptible to misinformation and irrational decision-making. They also discuss how this research opens the door to potentially reachin...2025-06-111h 13Crazy TogetherCrazy Together28. To Sleep Perchance to Pay Attention in School the Next DayLike a lot of people with ADHD, Marcus and Esme have trouble falling asleep and sometimes even staying asleep.
