It turns out that I just had to remove the extra method call after the else. For example,

public void tryAgain(View v) {
        if (mInterstitialAd.isLoaded()) {

            mInterstitialAd.show();
            Log.v(TAG, "LOADED in Game Over!");

        }
       else {
            beginPlayingGame();
        }

        beginPlayingGame();
    }

should have just been

public void tryAgain(View v) {
        if (mInterstitialAd.isLoaded()) {

            mInterstitialAd.show();
            Log.v(TAG, "LOADED in Game Over!");

        }
       else {
            beginPlayingGame();
        }
    //NOTICE THERE Is NO EXTRA METHOD CALL OF **beginPlayingGame()**
      }
