CRAIGSLIST : Why Craigslist Represents The Internet You Actually Want | Connor Larsen Show Episode 6

HERE IS THE CORRECT EPISODE 6 AUDIO LINK. I accidentally uploaded episode 5. Thank you Nick for noticing and sending me a DM. thanks everybody for listening Connor's favorite website on the internet is Craigslist — it's ugly, it's been the same since 1996, and it's run by a 42-year-old dork named Craig who turned down billions to keep it that way. This week, Connor digs into why every other app you use got worse, why Craigslist didn't, and why the guy who could've been twelve times richer just stayed in customer service instead. A love letter to the last website on the internet that didn't sell you out.  Thanks for watching!

BEES : Why Every Civilization That Ever Existed Loved Bees | The Connor Larsen Show #5

Bees good, wasps bad — that was genuinely all Connor knew going in. What he found was that every civilization in history, independently and without talking to each other has been obsessed with these little creatures. The Egyptians. The Romans. The Celts. The Mormons. Napoleon. DARPA. All of them are obsessed with bees and the fact that we aren't might be part of a larger problem.  Thanks for watching!  Here's where to find more of Connor:  🎟️ Come see my live taping at The Lab at Zanies in Nashville 5/21/26  🎤 Website for live dates — ComedianConnorLarsen.com  📸 Instagram — instagram.com/connorlarsencomedy  🎵 TikTok — tiktok.com/@connorlarsencomedy  📺 Watch "Dusty and Connor React" with Dusty Slay — https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QepninhUOd8

Invasive Species and how bad trees are like Jurassic Park | Connor Larsen Show Episode 4

This week Connor digs into the invasive plants, especially the ones in Tennessee — and how almost every one of them got here because some guy went "this'll be great" and the government paid for it. In this episode: - Why kudzu is the Kardashian of invasive species (famous, but not actually the worst) - The tree in Connor's backyard the USDA officially describes as smelling like rotting fish, dumpster, and worse  Chinese privet — the $4-million-a-year problem Home Depot still sells you -  The Bradford pear: a "sterile" suburban tree whose wild offspring now grows four-inch thorns that puncture tractor tires  The Jurassic Park arc every invasive plant seems to follow  Plus: what the 2008 housing crisis, the death of rock bands, and a shade tree in your aunt's subdivision have in common. —  Thanks for watching!

Why I Torched My Wife's Garden Bed | Connor Larsen Show Episode 3

I charred a garden bed i built for my wife with a Japanese technique called yakisugi. This episode i got very into old preservation techniques and learned cool stuff about ancient Tokyo's firesfighters, an 800 year old korean book, Venice's wooden foundations, and 1,400-year-old earthquake-proof temples. Old people figured out a lot of stuff.  Thanks for watching!
