RoBEAR Isenberg Talks About Why Men are Suspicious of Yoga!

Show Notes with Links:

I ask about his name: Robert “RoBEAR” Isenberg, and he tells the story of its genesis.
We’re talking about his latest book: Why Men are Suspicious of Yoga: Some Funny Stories & Some Not So Funny

But first, I ask him when he first realized he could make people laugh. His answer will surprise you!
He talks about the troubles he had at school because of learning disabilities, and his early jobs selling encyclopedias and “fairly good” roast beef sandwiches! He attended Boston Latin School.
One of his chapters is about his interesting face. In FACE IT—for no apparent reason, people tell him how much $$$ they have . . . and swear they’ve seen him on TV! (I’m frequently told I look like someone’s aunt or grandmother…)

He talks about his character Mr. Fridge.
In his chapter about hugging (he was not hugged as a child), he talks about how not everyone is a “good hugger.” He praises his very loving wife, Esther, for her affectionate nature.

He talks about what a difficult life it is for comedians, having to try to make people laugh night after night, because humor is so very subjective.
RoBEAR confesses to his habit of buying gadgets advertised on TV. His chapter A Collection of Nothing might strike a chord!
RoBEAR warns listeners to beware of SCAMMERS!
Check out the website Writers Beware.
He discusses the not-so-funny chapter Where has Humor Gone, which brings up the current political environment.
His book WHAM BAM! will take readers to NYC in the roaring ’60s.

His title chapter–Why Men are Suspicious of Yoga–is a hoot! It would seem that men and women do, indeed, think differently!
I ask if he is still performing live, and suggested he should not perform dead!

He has some advice for those who want to do stand-up . . . or write a book!
We get a surprise visit from his wife, Esther!
