Transcript
Hello my friends, this is, I suppose, another bonus episode of onefjef.
2
:I'm not sure where the line between bonus episode and regular episode actually exists or
where it lies.
3
:But I guess for now this is a bonus episode?
4
:I don't know.
5
:I don't know, maybe all the episodes should just be episodes.
6
:See, overthinking.
7
:Which brings me to the first thing that I want to talk about on this magical bonus
episode, which is...
8
:I feel like this podcast has lost some of its juju, if that makes sense.
9
:I've lost my inspiration to a degree with it, which is inevitable with creative projects.
10
:You go through waves, but I feel like I've hit a, not a plateau, but a lull, a rut.
11
:While I'm not gonna stop doing the podcast, I'm also trying to rethink what the podcast
is, as always.
12
:Perhaps this is just an ongoing process of figuring out what the podcast is.
13
:Perhaps the podcast continues to become different things as time passes.
14
:I don't know.
15
:But that's the headspace I've been in.
16
:I've been struggling to...
17
:um
18
:Because it's overwhelming, right?
19
:You start to dig in.
20
:When I first started it, I knew so little about podcasts.
21
:I hadn't done a lot of research.
22
:I I listened to a lot of podcasts, but I hadn't done a lot of research on podcasts making
and marketing and all that and all these different platforms.
23
:But once you start to dig in, it becomes fucking overwhelming.
24
:There's so much information and so many different platforms.
25
:And it's just really, it's too much, frankly.
26
:And you have to ask yourself like,
27
:what do I take from this and what do I leave?
28
:And I'm still trying to figure that out.
29
:The internet's just overwhelming, frankly.
30
:mean, along that same route I was thinking today also about, um last night I was trying to
find something to watch on TV and honestly, like, media, the amount of media out there,
31
:like we all know that there's just an enormous amount of media.
32
:Like, so much media, too much media, really.
33
:And so to grow up as I did in an era of media scarcity, know, we had, I remember, six,
five channels when I was a kid, then we got cable and we had maybe 30.
34
:We had that cable changer, you know, with the wire and you had to like, there were three
lines of numbers and you had to like slide the thing up to the top row and then push the
35
:very analog.
36
:um And to go from that and an area.
37
:And an era when like, you you would save your money to buy a CD and you'd listen to that
CD over and over because you didn't have a lot of CDs.
38
:That's why that Columbia Music Club, I don't know how they actually made money, um that's
why it was great because you could get like 10 CDs, which was like the mother load.
39
:You know, it was overwhelming.
40
:10 fucking CDs.
41
:That's never happened when you were that age or, you know, whatever.
42
:mean, there's an enormous amount of media raining down on you at one time.
43
:It was beautiful.
44
:Just for a penny, too.
45
:And then you never had to actually follow up with a deal.
46
:Like they didn't.
47
:So.
48
:Anyway, I hope they're not listening.
49
:em But yeah, to go from even Napster, you know, I remember downloading, and this is of
course an issue that's been addressed in podcasts, but not in mine yet, so whatever.
50
:You know, Napster came along and LimeWire and all these, and like I remember, you would
like, you know, just to download one song would be like a miracle.
51
:And then you'd finally get all the songs from a new album, and it would have taken like,
52
:a couple days depending on how popular the album was and all the bit rates are different,
all the titles are fucked up and there were some insane people who would literally go
53
:through every single one of their songs that they downloaded to make them perfect like the
title and the name and the album art I was generally not one of those people unless I was
54
:really into the album in which case maybe I would but generally not and then BitTorrent
came
55
:Maybe some of you aren't connecting to this.
56
:You have no idea what I'm talking about, which is fine.
57
:um BitTorrent was just another file sharing service, but you could share larger files.
58
:So you started to share entire albums, entire movies, entire TV shows, series, whatever.
59
:And it was very quick.
60
:So this was the period where personally I started to have like the entire works of Tom
Petty on MP3, which I never listened to it, of course, but I had it.
61
:And I feel like...
62
:That was a remnant of media scarcity.
63
:once media stopped being scarce and there was a way to get giant chunks of media for free
quote unquote, then let it rain.
64
:Let it rain.
65
:yeah, I somewhere on a hard drive somewhere I've got like the entire Collected Works of
Tom Petty, of probably Bob Dylan, of you know, any particular band that I liked, I would
66
:just download in one click, you get all their music.
67
:And yeah, I rarely listen.
68
:to all of it.
69
:mean almost never frankly.
70
:think some of that stuff I never even touched but I had it.
71
:I had it.
72
:It couldn't be taken away from me.
73
:And then of course, enter Spotify, uh enter Netflix, enter the modern media landscape that
we live in now in which you can literally have almost any piece of media that you could
74
:ever think of.
75
:You could play it pretty much instantaneously.
76
:I mean, certainly there's some pieces of media out there that are a little harder to find.
77
:Some artists who choose not to be on Spotify, some
78
:Movies that aren't on any of the streaming services, but if you dug, you could probably
still find it.
79
:And that's crazy.
80
:mean, perhaps not to people who were born in, you know, 2000, but to me, it feels crazy.
81
:And my brain doesn't know really what to do with this abundance.
82
:Because my brain grew up in those formative years in a world of scarcity.
83
:and I start to sort through and go through all the different streaming services and figure
out something to watch and my brain just goes all bugaboo.
84
:And I'm like, I don't fucking know what to watch.
85
:Somebody just tell me what to watch.
86
:When I actually just pick a thing and watch the thing, I feel great about myself.
87
:I'm like, look what I did.
88
:Sometimes I will try to make myself for like a month deliberately consume visual media.
89
:So which means I'm not going to turn the TV on and just start clicking through and trying
to find something to watch because that goes on forever.
90
:That's a never ending.
91
:It's madness.
92
:So I would just try and like plan what I'm going to watch.
93
:Here's a movie I want to watch.
94
:I know where it's what we're streaming.
95
:I'm just going to turn that TV on and click right to that.
96
:That works for about a week or two really.
97
:Because there is some joy in mindlessly looking at all the things you could watch.
98
:in spite of the madness.
99
:mean, think joy and madness are kind of intertwined a lot of the time.
100
:But sometimes I think it's like really a deliberate effort by the powers that are
controlling the world to kind of satiate us.
101
:Let's give them as much media and entertainment as we possibly can.
102
:Let's that run wild.
103
:uh Let's give them weed legally in a lot of places.
104
:That'll satiate them.
105
:uh
106
:Let's continue to push booze on them and pharmaceutical drugs.
107
:Anything that'll keep them from really thinking about what's going on in the world and
actually realizing they're getting fucked consistently by the people at the top.
108
:That's we need to keep feeding them.
109
:That'll prevent the revolution.
110
:You know, if the French had had Netflix back in the day, I wonder if they would have still
done the revolution.
111
:I don't know.
112
:It's an interesting question though.
113
:At least I think it is.
114
:You may not think so, but I think it's a very interesting question.
115
:And I think it could be a good, uh like a limited series or some sort of a sitcom.
116
:Hear me out.
117
:What if the French people before the revolution had access to Netflix and Spotify?
118
:Would they still revolt?
119
:Starring, I don't know, Jeremy Piven.
120
:as Signor LeFranc.
121
:I don't fucking know.
122
:I don't know.
123
:um You guys can run with that.
124
:That idea.
125
:So yeah.
126
:I don't know where that started, but it ended with a bizarre French Revolution sitcom
idea.
127
:And I'll take it.
128
:Anyway, it is Sunday afternoon and I haven't done much of anything today.
129
:I slept in enormously late, which is really rare for me, but it felt amazing.
130
:Like I slept till like 11, which is crazy.
131
:My body usually like gets up like right at 8 a.m.
132
:like a clockwork, but I think I'm still
133
:my all bugaboo from being in Colorado and being on that time for a short period of time or
something.
134
:don't know.
135
:Anyway, Sundays, I used to hate Sundays because it meant I had to go to work tomorrow, but
I have not really worked, consistently for, you know, eight or nine months at this point.
136
:So Sundays lack that, downer feeling that they used to have and
137
:Now the feeling I get on Sundays is that I should be doing something.
138
:And I think it's just because everybody else, you know, has to go to work tomorrow or most
people do.
139
:And so they're doing something like I'm looking out the window.
140
:I can see people all, you know, walking down the street and you know, so I feel like I
should do something, but really why should I do it today?
141
:I should do it tomorrow because it'll be like, if I'm going to go biking, the bike pack
bath will be less crowded tomorrow.
142
:So, that seems to make much more sense to me.
143
:It's avoidant to a degree, like when it comes to like a bike path I don't feel like being
avoidant of people is a bad thing like that's If you have two days to go biking one day is
144
:the same weather conditions always all exactly the same One day there will be a lot of
people on the bike path the next day there will not which day do you choose?
145
:I mean, it's a no-brainer here.
146
:So Will I go biking tomorrow?
147
:I don't know.
148
:I doubt it But I'm not gonna go biking today so uh
149
:I do have to go to the grocery store.
150
:So, so that'll be exciting.
151
:I don't have to buy a lot.
152
:I'm gonna have go to Trader Joe's tomorrow or Tuesday because I really need to stock up
and Trader Joe's is where I get, you know, my spiced dried mango.
153
:Shout out to Trader Joe's spiced dried mango.
154
:You're killing it.
155
:And, you know, a lot of other random crab pasta and all that.
156
:Trader Joe's is great.
157
:It's cheaper.
158
:It's just sometimes you can't get things that you want there.
159
:But usually the things you can get are generally pretty good.
160
:They have a solid dried fruit game.
161
:They have a solid dessert game.
162
:They have a like fresh vegetable game and their flowers are literally the best flowers you
can buy.
163
:Those will stay alive for two or three weeks.
164
:Speaking of flowers, like store cut flowers, if you want to, when you run out of the
packet of magic dust, whatever they give you to put in the flowers, uh here's a little
165
:life hack for you.
166
:You can crush up an aspirin.
167
:Apparently it's about the same kind of stuff in there.
168
:That's in the little packet and it'll keep them fresh and happy for even longer I've had
flowers from Trader Joe's stay good for like three weeks Honestly, maybe four not all of
169
:them like gradually a few of them So yeah little hot tip for you.
170
:You're welcome.
171
:Thank me later Because who doesn't want to get the most money out of their flowers the
most time.
172
:I Don't remember when I started buying flowers.
173
:I never did for years.
174
:Like I never even occurred to me that I would
175
:Why would I want to put flowers in my house?
176
:But I don't know.
177
:I think it was two or three years ago.
178
:I thought, you know what?
179
:I was at Trader Joe's and I was like, you know what?
180
:I'm going to buy some flowers and put them on my dining room table there.
181
:And you know what?
182
:It really does brighten up the old house.
183
:Brings a little life and color into the area.
184
:It's great.
185
:I recommend it.
186
:I recommend it.
187
:It's a life improvement hack.
188
:I mean, plants are a different animal.
189
:Like I have quite a few plants and frankly, lately, the plants are kind of disappointing
me and stressing me out more than they are bringing me joy.
190
:There's a few that bring me joy, but a lot of them I'm just kind of frustrated with.
191
:I'm like, why are you growing like that?
192
:Why aren't you growing?
193
:Why are you brown?
194
:What am I doing?
195
:What have I ever done wrong to you?
196
:Have I always given you water?
197
:Haven't I always been nice to you?
198
:And yet still, you behave like this.
199
:You look sad, you look depressing.
200
:I have a hanging plant in my dining room area and it's brown, there's brown stuff on it.
201
:There's some green, but it's half brown and it's depressing.
202
:It makes me feel like I'm a plant care failure and nobody wants to feel that way.
203
:And I used to be so good at it.
204
:But the thing is, when I was good at it was when I lived in the apartment.
205
:When I first moved to Columbus, I lived in an apartment that had these giant
206
:um I think they were what?
207
:West facing windows or east?
208
:Whichever way.
209
:way does the sun set?
210
:Sets in the west?
211
:Yeah, west facing.
212
:Rises in the east and sets in the west.
213
:Yeah, yeah.
214
:And they were huge windows.
215
:That's why I love the apartment.
216
:And I was on the fourth floor, and it had a shelf so I could put all these plants.
217
:And the plants, of course, loved it.
218
:That was when I grew beans.
219
:I literally grew beans in my apartment.
220
:Not a lot of them, but some of them.
221
:If you go on my Instagram at 1fjeff, you can actually go back and see the bean videos.
222
:It became like it was during COVID, and it became kind of a cult thing, like a.
223
:It became a big event because everybody was bored during COVID.
224
:So I was doing this whole thing about, I eat the bean?
225
:Blah, blah, blah.
226
:I was actually live streaming and stuff, which was unlike me.
227
:Maybe I should do that for the podcast.
228
:Huh, who knows?
229
:Anyway, I did eventually eat the bean and then did eventually break up with a girlfriend
who had given me the the bean seeds.
230
:and then life goes on.
231
:But yeah, since I moved in here to this house three or four years ago, my plants just
don't seem as happy, even though there are pretty big windows.
232
:And some of them are happy, but a lot of them are not so happy.
233
:And I remember I had a um jade plant, like a giant one.
234
:was about, I loved it.
235
:It was like, uh I don't know how tall, two feet tall?
236
:It was a tall jade plant.
237
:And uh I went on,
238
:like a vacation for a week and when I came back the fucking thing had just like cracked
apart and tipped over like like a tree like a fucking tree just kind of
239
:So that was depressing.
240
:So then I just took the pieces of it and replanted them and now I've got like three jade
plants that are not big, but you know, they'll get there.
241
:uh Is this interesting to anybody?
242
:I don't know.
243
:I felt inspired to talk on the microphone.
244
:So this is what is happening.
245
:And I feel like with me feeling kind of like uninspired by the podcast, maybe this is the
kind of weird mix them up I should just start to do.
246
:And whenever I feel inspired to just talk on the microphone, whenever I'm in a chatty
mood, I should just start recording something and then just put it out.
247
:Maybe that's the thing that people would like.
248
:I don't know.
249
:I don't know.
250
:Anyway.
251
:Yeah, I took mushrooms last night.
252
:I had this candy bar that a friend of mine gave me like two years ago, this mushroom candy
bar.
253
:And it's just been in my freezer for years, like two years now, of course.
254
:And I never really thought of an opportune time to do it because, know, for those of you
who've done like psychedelic mushrooms, you know, it's an investment of time and energy.
255
:But I thought, well, last night I didn't have any plans last night.
256
:So.
257
:And I'm in a pretty good head space these days, which is important when you do mushrooms.
258
:So I thought maybe this is the night.
259
:So I, you know, got all ready, you know, cleaned my house up, made it look all nice and
got very comfortable.
260
:And uh yeah, I didn't really entirely know how strong the candy bar was.
261
:I texted the guy I got it from and he said either five grams or three and a half grams.
262
:I would.
263
:after having done them say that there was probably five grams.
264
:Because, yeah, way outside of some realm of reality there going on.
265
:And it was good, it was great.
266
:I ate the whole candy bar and then I sat in the back porch for a while as the sun set and
then came down to my living room and put my headphones on and lied down here on the couch
267
:and put some light blinders on, you know, and just...
268
:let them take me wherever they took me.
269
:And you know, they take you to some strange places, these things, these mushrooms.
270
:And it always makes me wonder like, how, like, what, how is that even happening?
271
:You take these like, I mean, in this case, it was a candy bar with mushrooms in it, but
you know, when you just eat a couple of mushrooms and suddenly you're, you know, a couple
272
:hours later, you're on a spacecraft flying into like some other distant galaxy.
273
:Like, how does that, how does that happen?
274
:Like what's nature's plan there?
275
:I don't know, I don't know.
276
:And I also don't know that, mean, it a diff, like people will suggest that the place you
go when you're on these mushrooms is like a different reality plane or something to this
277
:effect, like a different dimension or something.
278
:There's all sorts of theories.
279
:I don't know that that's what it is.
280
:Like it's certainly, you know, it's a weird different perspective.
281
:Like it zooms you out, right?
282
:That's a thing that most of these psychedelics do for me.
283
:Like they give you a bigger picture.
284
:thing, like you're able to see the entire thing, like the universe and your place in it or
something to this effect, or you'll zoom in too much, right?
285
:Mostly for me, it's a zooming out.
286
:And that's the big takeaway for me is this zooming out this bigger picture idea that I'm
able to see that you don't really lose.
287
:don't think I think that's for me, the biggest takeaway from doing psychedelics is like
that I that this bigger picture, this zooming out that it
288
:that it does is a thing that I've, that I hang onto that, that, that's hard to forget
because once you see the big picture in a way, it's hard to unsee the big picture or
289
:something like that.
290
:And some people just aren't ready for that and never will be.
291
:Don't want to see that big picture, you know?
292
:Because it's a difficult picture to see in some ways.
293
:In some ways it's beautiful, you know?
294
:Because you really do start to realize that the thing connecting us all is like love, you
know?
295
:That sucks, right?
296
:Anyway, for most of this experience last night, I um was listening to music and I will
tell you ah music on these psychedelic mushrooms sounds amazing, like truly, truly
297
:mind-blowingly amazing.
298
:It sounds like maybe the best thing that you've ever heard in your life.
299
:And there were a few songs that I listened to where I was like,
300
:Like it was like an adventure.
301
:I was just lying on my couch, but it was like I was going through a whole fucking
adventure in my brain.
302
:Like these soundscapes were creating worlds in my brain that I felt like I was inside of.
303
:And yeah, there were a few songs where it was just like, holy shit, this person is able,
whoever wrote this is seeing into my brain and knows exactly what kind of music I want to
304
:hear right now.
305
:I don't know.
306
:I don't know.
307
:It feels very strange.
308
:There's a weird,
309
:the synchronicity feeling that you get when you're on these drugs.
310
:So maybe it's that, I don't know.
311
:Nevertheless, it was fun, it was good.
312
:It'd been a long time since I'd done them by myself.
313
:And a lot of people say you shouldn't do that, but I'm pretty safe.
314
:And I had a few people that I was head on standby to call if I needed to talk to somebody,
but I didn't.
315
:I just kind of chilled out on my couch for about four or five or six hours or something,
but it was...
316
:It was intense.
317
:That was a lot.
318
:But never like scary.
319
:So.
320
:And I think I recorded some audio at some point on this thing, but I don't know that I
really want to have to sort through that madness.
321
:But who knows?
322
:Trying to put a finger on reality here for a second.
323
:Uh huh.
324
:Yeah, I see it.
325
:I see it way off down there.
326
:I see you.
327
:Pescual reality.
328
:I see you down there.
329
:You're a rascal.
330
:You're a rascal, but I love you.
331
:I do.
332
:I have to love you.
333
:But you are a rascal.
334
:It's a pretty even match though, go.
335
:oh mix it up sometimes.
336
:I love you buddy.
337
:I love you too.
338
:Let's be friends forever.
339
:Great idea.
340
:What was our job again?
341
:Wasn't that?
342
:I totally actually forgot what the point of the story was.
343
:But they're all friends at the end, that's all that matters.
344
:So, to everybody involved.
345
:Because everybody's friends now.
346
:Everybody has a little group hug.
347
:am I getting this?
348
:Am I recording this?
349
:Aye.
350
:It's like you'll be feeling normal for second and then something will sweep you away out
of tangent and you're like, how did I get here?
351
:Like I have a feeling I'm in a ballroom with a chandelier on me, but I know that's not the
case.
352
:So yeah, I did that.
353
:And then that's, think why I slept until 11 today because, you know, it takes it out of
you.
354
:It takes a lot of your serotonin, drains it a little bit.
355
:Gotta get that back up.
356
:And that's kind of why also I think I haven't done a lot today because I've just kind of
been feeling like, uh you know, better.
357
:does clear, you know, you squeegee the third eye as Bill Hicks would say.
358
:ah And it does give you a refreshed feeling about life for a week or two.
359
:At least it does for me.
360
:Like a new found kind of perspective and appreciation in the sense that, you you kind of
see again, you get a renewed, you get a reminder that we are all one experience, like one
361
:consciousness really experiencing itself.
362
:Collectively again Bill Hicks, but that's all true So yeah, you try to hang on to that as
long as you can
363
:But yeah, I really have no idea what that's about.
364
:I it just, is it really like a, uh like I understand that these mushrooms make your brain
fire, different connections happen, you know, that wouldn't normally happen like this part
365
:of the brain fires with this part of the brain that doesn't know that well.
366
:And then this is why a lot of the weird brain stuff happens, but ah I'm no neuroscientist
in case you're wondering.
367
:Like I know a lot of you were thinking I'm a neuroscientist, but.
368
:uh
369
:just based on the way I'm talking about this, but no.
370
:I'm sorry to disappoint you, but I am not, not at this point anyway, a neuroscientist.
371
:But I do know that it does affect the neuroplasticity in your brain, stuff like this, I
don't know.
372
:Yeah, I don't know what else there is to say.
373
:I never do.
374
:I feel like I should go for a walk now because it's getting to be five o'clock and I do
need to go to the grocery store and I also need to label um my friend March who's a
375
:Spanish teacher at a college.
376
:She said a good way to learn Spanish or to help you learn Spanish which is what I'm trying
to do right now.
377
:is to take Post-It notes and like label things in your house with the Spanish word for
them.
378
:And then maybe even like a sentence, right?
379
:Like, know, Cuchillo I think is knife, right?
380
:And then I could be like a sentence with the word Cuchillo or like mesa is like table or
whatever, you know, things like this, which I honestly think is a good idea.
381
:But it does remind me of when my father was uh
382
:starting to get em a little bit of the dementia four or five years ago.
383
:And then my mother would label, I came home one time from college or not college.
384
:What am I talking about?
385
:Came home from for a weekend or something from here.
386
:And there were labels on things like spoons, forks, things like that, because he was
forgetting the names for these things.
387
:But this is Spanish learning.
388
:But that's all I'm telling you.
389
:I'm just.
390
:free associating, guess, because that's what it made me think of then when she mentioned
it, and then now when I'm going to do it today.
391
:And maybe, you know, myself, I'll do the same thing for myself when my brain starts to go
in about 20 or 30 years.
392
:Who knows?
393
:You know, knock on wood.
394
:so I'm going to do that.
395
:She also gave me like a whole textbook.
396
:So I don't know.
397
:I've been doing a lot of Duolingo, but maybe I'll just lean into to Spanish learning.
398
:My brain gets in a place where I have like so many things that I'm trying to do.
399
:Like I'm trying to learn Spanish.
400
:I'm doing the podcast.
401
:I need to find a fucking job.
402
:Another one.
403
:I need to work.
404
:do some work on the job that I have, all these things, like it becomes a question of like
priority and time and all that.
405
:And then I just get overwhelmed, so I do nothing, right?
406
:Does anybody else relate to this?
407
:I'm sure you do.
408
:And if you're saying you don't, you're lying to yourself because you do.
409
:But focus has always been a difficult one for me.
410
:uh Focus and consistency uh and just discipline.
411
:Yeah, it's always been a difficult one.
412
:Because my brain just naturally kind of resists discipline, even though it's probably
what's best for my brain, which is the ironic part of it.
413
:And there's periods when I actually have discipline.
414
:Like my brain is a little more relaxed, but like,
415
:There's another side of my brain that's just like, fuck this, this discipline's bullshit,
fucking stay home from work tomorrow.
416
:Whatever, why did I sound Canadian then?
417
:Anyway, maybe it's because I watched the John Candy biopic or biography or whatever it is,
documentary about John Candy yesterday.
418
:After I was, as I was coming down from the mushrooms, that's what I watched.
419
:I don't know why, but it was heartwarming and quite funny.
420
:He seemed like a very nice guy.
421
:Although it did seem like they whitewashed over a lot of like, there was a lot of like,
maybe like casual mentions that maybe he wasn't the best and more as a tentative father.
422
:But then it was kind of like, we'll move on to something else.
423
:Here's how wonderful he was.
424
:And I know that there were drugs involved in his life, but they didn't really talk about
that much at all.
425
:So anyway, everybody's complicated, including John Candy.
426
:Yeah, I think that's all for now.
427
:Will I release this?
428
:I don't know.
429
:If I do, you'll be hearing it.
430
:So you know that I will release it.
431
:or that I did release it.
432
:If you don't, then I didn't release it.
433
:Wow, that's weird.
434
:Thank you for listening to this.
435
:I appreciate you.
436
:If you did enjoy it, if you enjoyed this kind of random, um you know, mind dump kind of
episode, please do email me at 1fjeffpod at gmail.com, because I'd love to hear some
437
:feedback.
438
:I don't really get a lot very often.
439
:Like a few people will tell me in person how much they like it, but then I just don't get
a lot of emails.
440
:And I know I'm still trying to build up a listener base, but like, you know, if you have
five seconds, just shoot me a quick email.
441
:say, hey, I love the show or write a review on their podcast platform of choice.
442
:But yeah, thank you at the very least for listening.
443
:I do appreciate that.
444
:And uh yeah, if you want to support the show, can do that on Patreon at patreon.com slash
onefjef.
445
:I often do release random episodes like this, or I wouldn't say often at this point.
446
:I think I've done it like three times.
447
:Release episodes like this rambling thing on there for just Patreon people.
448
:But I think I'll put this out for everybody because I am wondering how it will land.
449
:Or maybe it won't land at all.
450
:I don't know.
451
:I need to get like Donald Trump on the podcast.
452
:That's how I need to get the thing to blow up.
453
:I wonder how I get in touch with him.
454
:If anybody out there knows like Donald Trump's media person or whatever can maybe get him
on the podcast, let me know.
455
:Or Obama.
456
:I'll take Barack Obama too.
457
:Joe Biden, no, I don't really care.
458
:I don't really want that.
459
:I don't really want him on the show.
460
:That would be sad.
461
:Anybody else said want on the show?
462
:Yeah, mean plenty of people, but Barack Obama.
463
:Mark Maron, that would be a fun guest to have on the show.
464
:Anyway, I could go on about guests that I'd love to have.
465
:Jesus, if Jesus, if you're listening, would love to have Jesus on.
466
:um The guy at the bar in Salida told me that he's still here because he did rise from the
dead, so he's still here.
467
:So Jesus, if you're listening to this podcast, which I hope you are, uh I'd love to have
you on.
468
:So, you know, give me a call or do whatever you do um just to communicate with me and tell
me that, you know, we'll make it work.
469
:I can work around your schedule, Jesus.
470
:know you're probably busy, but I don't know what you do, but I know you're probably very
busy.
471
:But if you want to come on the show, that would be killer.
472
:Yeah.
473
:You can even smoke some weed if you want.
474
:I mean, I assume you smoke weed, right?
475
:You're like the first hippie.
476
:Or Buddha.
477
:I mean, I think he's dead though, right?
478
:Or is he, I don't know, how does Buddha work?
479
:Is Buddha like a man that died or is Buddha like a continuing idea of a man that is cool?
480
:I don't know.
481
:As I said, I'm uh not a Buddhist scholar, so I can't speak with any expertise on that.
482
:One of those like, you know, eight armed guys that they have in India, that'd be
interesting.
483
:I'll have one of those on.
484
:Like which hand will they hold the mic with?
485
:That's the question I have.
486
:I mean, they don't actually have to hold the mic though.
487
:But which hand, when I give them a drink, which hand do they use for the drink?
488
:How do you pick?
489
:Right?
490
:Like an octopus.
491
:Although each of the octopus arms have different brains in them, so they all act
independently apparently.
492
:Maybe I'm misunderstanding that, but I think that's how that works.
493
:But I don't think like the Vishnu gods or whatever with all those arms.
494
:I don't think those arms act independently.
495
:I mean, I haven't read the books that they're in.
496
:Is it the Bhagavad Gita?
497
:Is that where the like multi-armed deities are in?
498
:Am I completely mixing up like different spiritual practices?
499
:If so, I apologize.
500
:I don't mean to be sacrilegious or anything like that.
501
:I'm just trying to get some good podcast guests, if dig.
502
:So if anybody's got contacts with any of these uh killer gods, not killer, like killing,
but like killer is an awesome.
503
:Yeah, shoot them my way.
504
:Or just shoot me an email or whatever.
505
:I'd love to have some sort of a deity on.
506
:That aside, the episode this week is gonna be Nicholas Weber, Nick Weber, as I know him
by.
507
:Very dear old friend of mine who has been on
508
:some television, been on some theater.
509
:He's a very interesting guy, very well read, very interesting human being.
510
:uh so look forward to that episode of coming out this week, hopefully before Friday.
511
:And again, thank you all for listening.
512
:Thank you all for being here.
513
:uh
514
:Yeah, take care of yourselves.
515
:Put your phone down.
516
:Very good, Jeffrey.
