The Laughing Matters Podcast

At the start of 2011's spring semester, APSU student, W.S. Walker walked out of his dorm room in the middle of a blizzard with only two blank books, and lived the next 44 days without any money or ID, going where the wind blew. Because of a single discovery, he stopped everything to walk out into the world, throwing wide open all of his defenses, and making himself completely vulnerable to anyone he met. And what was the discovery which caused this? The massive hidden secret behind what laughter is and why we find something funny ... and everything that it implied.Have you ever tried to explain why some things are funny and some things aren't? Tune in to W. S. Walker's The Laughing Matters, the ground-breaking book detailing what was found and what it means, read chapter by chapter by the author (and then all manner of advice, musings, and wisdoms after Season 1), and hang on as he sends you reeling through some of the most incredible discoveries on human behavior, why

    Could Play - The Lost Episodes Ep 1

    As you well know now, the Could Play channel is now dead before a single episode was released. In memorium, I've released the first episode of the would-be channel as a thank you for sticking around with the show. So enjoy! Or don't. I'm not a cop.

  17. 25

    Episode 24 - Free Will VS God's Plan SOLVED?

    That's right. Today, I tackle the age old paradox and favorite atheists: How can God have a plan if mankind has free will? And what's more, I show the crazy correlation it has with the Copenhagen Interpretation (way more fun than it sounds). Tell me this doesn't make waaaay too much sense.

  18. 24

    Episode 23 - What Gets in the Way of Understanding God

    Very SPECIAL episode!!! First, it's the first episode available in true video format meaning that you can watch me perform the podcast with visual aids throughout (link below)! Secondly this is part one of two, which all leads to an explanation how Free Will and God's Plan work together (no paradox here, folks). And, of course, I address the biggest thing that gets in the way of understanding God for most people.Watch the Video Version: https://youtu.be/kZxJRQe5vvQ

    What is the Laughing Matters?

    So you found it.So what is it?

  20. 22

    Episode 22 - We've Got A Statue To Build

  21. 21

    Episode 21 - Generous Budgets

    Today it's about a budget meeting we need to be more present at.

  22. 20

    Episode 20 - A Toast of Memories

    We've got some cool stuff for you today! We start with a unique way of coping with your knowledge of what the Breaking Laugh is, some more fantastic reasons to use water in your toast to your Creator, and examine what bacteria's reactions to solar flares says about our existence and what we aren't seeing.

  23. 19

    Episode 19 - Tree For All

    We talk about how to feel closer to God again, but I reveal my main method of doing so. And then I hit you with a bit of an emotional gut punch. Sorry, not sorry.

  24. 18

    Episode 18 - A Toast

    In this episode, I propose a toast (and you won't believe what's in the glass), and we go over how it is that your brain works like your eyes, why it's a bad thing, and how to get around it.

  25. 17

    Episode 17 - Subconsciously Acknowledged

    Here's another (shorter) differently-worded version of the Preface (Episode 1) and, an interest thing that I noticed in an episode of WandaVision.

  26. 16

    Episode 16 - Talk Like Friends

    This episode can be used as a shortcut to skip the very first episode ("Preface") and jump right into book at Chapter 1. And then I dive into what I notice in Wandavision. Something a bit profound.youtube.com/couldhelpContact/Questions: [email protected] talk about this stuff, ask questions, or hear what others think at r/thelaughingmatters on reddit.comAnd you can stay up-to-date with the show’s facebook page at facebook.com/icouldhelpand, of course,thelaughingmatters.com

    In this episode. I share with you a method I developed several years ago that allows me to talk about something that I don't have the words to describe. Then I show you a way to feel far less alone.

  28. 14

    Episode 14 - People on the Streets

    The cure for hiccups. Yup. No joke. The cure. For hiccups. Also in this episode, an explanation of how one of the greatest songs written in rock & roll history was written about breaking compassion and the reason for the Breaking Laugh.

  29. 13

    Episode 13 - The End is the Beginning

    Oh man, today I get to show you one of my favorite things to do; something that takes oh so little from you to do, but pays off in the absolute best ways.

  30. 12

    Chapter 10 - The Strings

    The season finale and last chapter of The Laughing Matters, we connect all the concepts together and then try to deal with it for the rest of our lives.

  31. 11

    Chapter 9 - Not Allowed

    Ever wonder where the line sits that divides what we haven't figured out yet and that which we are not allowed to know? This chapter is filled with all kinds of weird science-y goodness, and examines a rather crucial part of the design of this existence.

  32. 10

    Chapter 8 - Breaking Pt. 2

    We discuss why having real faith is terrifying, and I tell you the origin of how my own journey with these concepts started... and how the journey was almost cut short by the death of W. S. Walker.

  33. 9

    Chapter 8 - Breaking

    We delve into what the Breaking Laugh really is, and I tell you the design of happiness. No joke. Literally the key to happiness and I spell it out simply.

  34. 8

    Chapter 7 - The Theories

    We're taking a step back in this chapter to have a look at the history of what mankind has theorized is the answer to one of the most perplexing questions to ever plague a philosopher: Why is something funny? Why do we laugh?

  35. 7

    Chapter 6 - My Own Path

    In this chapter, we discuss a method that makes people SO much easier to trust and forgive, we learn how to get everything you ever wanted, we learn how to really learn, and we learn what a Martian thinks is the reason we laugh.

  36. 6

    Chapter 5 - Genuine

    Remember the Riddle of the Missing Sound I posed to you? What is the non-verbal sound we make instinctively when we love?Well, it's time to tell you and you are in for something lovely that you can never unsee.

  37. 5

    Chapter 4 - Here's the Why

    In this episode/chapter, we tackle a possible mistranslation in the New Testament that leads a rather mind-blowing revelation, we talk about God's feet, and the origin point of all emotions. Seconders will remember this one.

  38. 4

    Chapter 3 - How God Gods

    In this episode of the book, we offer a plausible solution to the Free Will vs God's Plan paradox, the folly of not thinking 4th dimensionally enough, and discuss the interconnection between people that lies beneath the surface.

  39. 3

    Chapter 2 - The Cacophony and The Granddaddy Fear

    In this chapter, we look at how much we matter, the truth about how we exist dimensionally within time, and find the root cause of all fears. That's right. The Granddaddy of All Fears.(and, yes, I know I called it Chapter 3 at the end. Didn't catch it until after publish.)

  40. 2

    Chapter 1 - Shared

    Human beings are phenomenal creatures when it comes to sharing what we find when it is something good or has worth. And we are incredible at conveying what we have within us. But there's a sound missing. (oooo... cryptic)

  41. 1

    Chapter 1 & 1/2 - Tea

    Ignore anything about this being the Preface; it was originally that, but moved between Chapter 1 & 2 because it fits better there.That said, if you've ever wondered about why we laugh, if there's a creative force behind the universe, or how to stop the hiccups. you've come to the right place.Bonus:To see the author realize he had to reorganize the whole book and rewrite a quarter of it ON CAMERA here:https://youtu.be/aUdlHbMUYYo?t=300
