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 we don't feel right so much of the time, and the core blueprint for the universal design of happiness; things hidden in plain sight your entire life and answers that you never would have expected. The moment you hear them, you will understand that you've always known them.The true motivations behind why we laugh will shock you to your core.A fair bit of warning: once you hear some of the hidden truths, you cannot unhear them. They are night and day obvious once you know which angle to see them from.This is an advanced edition. The book has not been publicly released yet. If you want a much better understanding of who you are, why you don't feel important, where so much of your internal conflict (at a base-level) comes from, come on in and have a listen.I've got some good news, and some bad news for you.Listen to the Podcast on :Apple Podcasts - https://bit.ly/iTunes_THELaMPSpotify - https://bit.ly/Spotify_THELaMPRSS Feed - https://media.rss.com/thelaughingmatters/feed.xmliHeartRadio - https://bit.ly/4eoXWvmPodbean - https://feed.podbean.com/willtheadequate/feed.xmlPandora- https://bit.ly/Pandora_THELaMPOTHER LINKS:youtube.com/couldhelpwww.thelaughingmatters.comfacebook.com/icouldhelpwillhelpmail@gmail.com

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.

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.
11/10/21 • 15:31
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

Here's another (shorter) differently-worded version of the Preface (Episode 1) and, an interest thing that I noticed in an episode of WandaVision.
4/10/21 • 17:01
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.
