High and Tight, Hörbuch, Digital, 57min
Erik Knowles has a style all his own. He treats his audience members to a behind-the-curtain realness that feels as though he is speaking to a living room full of his own friends. His storytelling and effortless ability to cajole audiences into full belly laughs every 10 seconds draws comparisons to Christopher Titus and a clean version of George Carlin. Early on, Erik recognized that comedy would play a key role in his life. He believes that laughter is healing, so he pulls his comedy from some of the most embarrassing events in his life, laying it out there in the open for audiences to enjoy. When he isn't telling his own tales, his life as a father and husband gives him plenty of inspiration for his humor. After coming in as a runner-up in San Diego's Funniest Person Contest 2014, he stayed true to his Marine Corps roots, entertaining the troops in the Middle East with Armed Forces Entertainment in 2015, and continues to work with other military and veteran organizations. His Combat 2 Comedy series employs the healing power of laughter, and he is a certified laughter therapy coach with the Air Force Wounded Warriors (AFW2). As a contestant at 2016's World Series of Comedy, Erik took first place in every round, ultimately winning the title. He is consistently the most requested comedian among US Troops, receiving many prestigious accolades, including the Veterans Choice Award for Best Comedian in 2016 and the Veteran Achievement Award at The San Diego Comedy Festival in 2015. Erik is a dynamic, powerful, and unforgettable headliner at comedy clubs throughout the nation and has been featured on FOX's Laughs and HULU's Man Up Stand-Up. George Salek, owner of The Comedy Palace in San Diego, CA, notably said Erik is "the funniest guy I've ever seen" and rightly predicted, "Erik Knowles is going to be huge!" Ward Anderson, author, comedian, and talk radio host agrees, exclaiming, "This guy is gonna be a huge star!" Language: English. Narrator: Erik Knowles.

The Joy of Pain: Schadenfreude and the Dark Side of Human Nature , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 461min
Few people will easily admit to taking pleasure in the misfortunes of others. But who doesn't enjoy it when an arrogant but untalented contestant is humiliated on American Idol, or when the embarrassing vice of a self-righteous politician is exposed, or even when an envied friend suffers a small setback? The truth is that joy in someone else's pain - known by the German word schadenfreude - permeates our society. In The Joy of Pain, psychologist Richard Smith, one of the world's foremost authorities on envy and shame, sheds much light on a feeling we dare not admit. Smith argues that schadenfreude is a natural human emotion, one worth taking a closer look at, as it reveals much about who we are as human beings. We have a passion for justice. Sometimes, schadenfreude can feel like getting one's revenge, when the suffering person has previously harmed us. But most of us are also motivated to feel good about ourselves, Smith notes, and look for ways to maintain a positive sense of self. One common way to do this is to compare ourselves to others and find areas where we are better. Similarly, the downfall of others - especially when they have seemed superior to us - can lead to a boost in our self-esteem, a lessening of feelings of inferiority. This is often at the root of schadenfreude. As the author points out, most instances of schadenfreude are harmless, on par with the pleasures of light gossip. Yet we must also be mindful that envy can motivate, without full awareness, the engineering of the misfortune we delight in. And envy-induced aggression can take us into dark territory indeed, as Smith shows as he examines the role of envy and schadenfreude in the Nazi persecution of the Jews. Filled with engaging examples of schadenfreude, from popular reality shows to the Duke-Kentucky basketball rivalry, The Joy of Pain provides an intriguing glimpse into a hidden corner of the human psyche. ungekürzt.

It is intended for mature readers who will not be offended by graphic depictions of sex acts between consenting adults. Here is a preview: The announcer said “Now, let’s give a warm welcome to our next contestant Mary Jane.” It wasn’t like I was going to use my real name. I climbed slowly on stage and the music I picked out began to play. I was shell shocked and looking out at a sea of faces. I began to move to the music slowly, and started to run my hands over my body suggestively. I heard someone say, “Take it off” and out of the blue I reached over to the table a grabbed his glass of beer. He looked on and they all watched me drink a little from the glass, and then I poured the rest over the t-shirt making it literally see through. You could now see my bra and I began to get catcalls and whistles. I pulled the t-shirt up and revealed my well-toned abs to their lustful faces. I worked it up and over my bra and then tossed it to the side. People started to cheer and it only made me do even more. I reached for my bra and pulled it off exposing my firm 36 B’s and hard nipples to the crowd. I knew by then that all my inhibitions were melting away and I reached for the zipper of my jeans and shimmied out of them, like a snake shedding its skin. I looked down and saw that my panties were soaked and looked up at the crowd and put my hand to my mouth in mock surprise. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Jennifer Saucedo.
