Welcome back to The Irrational! Sorry for the delay, this move to New York is taxing! This week I'm joined by the hilarious Conor Delehanty. We discuss the movie Jarhead and how a movie like that can provide you with emotional baggage related to things you've never personally experienced.  Enjoy!

Hey! Welcome back for another episode of The Irrational! I really appreciate your patience with the missing week.

Welcome back to The Irrational!  Today we're joined by Dan Sheehan to discuss his fear of societal collapse caused by the movie Contagion.   We also discuss a spooky theme song that I ACTUALLY got rid of (because it was too spooky) and replaced with this weird beat I made on some website.

Welcome to The Irrational! Today we're joined by Andrew Melzer to discuss a peculiar fear of the elderly stealing his youth.  It would seem Melzer's fears mostly stem from episodes of Are You Afraid Of The Dark!
