WEBVTT 1 00:00:02.480 --> 00:00:10.269 It's only your head, and now it's online Bible this stylecom yes, motions 2 00:00:10.550 --> 00:00:18.589 with Bible style. Hey, what's up? How you been? And happy 3 00:00:18.789 --> 00:00:23.140 fucking New Year. We made it one more year. I know a lot 4 00:00:23.179 --> 00:00:28.379 of my friends don't like to celebrate New Year's quote unquote, the to hit 5 00:00:28.539 --> 00:00:32.579 for it, too old for it, too lazy for it, whatever time 6 00:00:32.740 --> 00:00:36.170 is just to construct all that whole shit. But you know what, it's 7 00:00:36.170 --> 00:00:40.450 kind of cool when everybody around the world is kind of doing the same thing 8 00:00:41.090 --> 00:00:43.810 at the same time. In a way it's kind of cool, you got 9 00:00:43.890 --> 00:00:47.810 to admit and like when you go to a movie in a theater versus watching 10 00:00:47.890 --> 00:00:51.840 it on Netflix. That's why people go to movies and theaters. There's a 11 00:00:51.960 --> 00:00:58.240 Camaraderia community sitting together and doing the same thing at the same time. Why 12 00:00:58.240 --> 00:01:02.520 do you think people still call radio stations and request that stupid song that they 13 00:01:02.520 --> 00:01:06.870 can get anywhere? It's because they want to make sure everybody else is hearing 14 00:01:06.909 --> 00:01:11.709 the same song they're hearing at the same time they're hearing it. So I 15 00:01:11.829 --> 00:01:15.510 think that's the NEAT thing about New Year in general is we're all experiencing it 16 00:01:15.870 --> 00:01:19.459 and more than that, acknowledging it at the same time. Together, whether 17 00:01:19.540 --> 00:01:23.780 you like to acknowledge it or don't, you're still acknowledging it. Happy fucking 18 00:01:23.819 --> 00:01:32.969 New Year. Join the party. Add Bipolar Partycom that said, it has 19 00:01:33.090 --> 00:01:38.849 been a really trying year for me. Twenty eight team was tough. I 20 00:01:38.969 --> 00:01:45.969 took on roll as a Hotel Director for a nonprofit that manages housing for the 21 00:01:46.049 --> 00:01:51.400 homeless, you know, freshly homeless and war vets and things like that. 22 00:01:52.239 --> 00:01:56.400 Really tough. Not For me, not with that organization. A lot of 23 00:01:56.439 --> 00:02:00.510 the tenants thought that the owner of the building was a slum Lord, as 24 00:02:00.549 --> 00:02:07.469 they say, and I haven't found anything personally to discount that notion. So 25 00:02:08.469 --> 00:02:15.539 whatever. One of my favorite quotes is from churchhill. If you're going through 26 00:02:15.659 --> 00:02:27.780 hell, keep going. So I kept going. I'm not going to stay 27 00:02:27.819 --> 00:02:30.889 there if I'm not welcome. You know, fuck that. Kick around somebody 28 00:02:30.930 --> 00:02:35.409 else. I'm not going to be the face of their failures. It's not 29 00:02:35.610 --> 00:02:39.849 my deal. and which is weird because when you have bipolar disorder you tend 30 00:02:39.889 --> 00:02:44.479 to apply for interesting jobs, jobs where you think you could actually help people, 31 00:02:45.120 --> 00:02:46.680 and then, when they don't work out, because it's a high risk 32 00:02:46.800 --> 00:02:51.400 venture to begin with, people think, oh, he's bipolar, he got 33 00:02:51.479 --> 00:02:54.599 fired because he's bipolar. Well, maybe I did, but I also stood 34 00:02:54.639 --> 00:02:58.909 up for what was right and I can live with myself. So that's important. 35 00:02:59.590 --> 00:03:02.270 So if the past year I was in the suburbs of the San Francisco 36 00:03:02.270 --> 00:03:08.349 Bay area and then I was in the heart of downtown San Francisco, really 37 00:03:08.389 --> 00:03:15.699 high crime, Grimy, poor neighborhood called the tenderloin, and now I'm in 38 00:03:15.819 --> 00:03:21.139 Louisiana. I'm from California, but I think Louisiana's a pretty neat place. 39 00:03:21.219 --> 00:03:29.370 So fresh air, cheap rent, friendly people, Wide Open Space, Oh 40 00:03:29.610 --> 00:03:35.530 and no feces on the sidewalk. I love my favorite part. So goodbye 41 00:03:35.610 --> 00:03:42.840 tenderloin, Hello Shreveport. That's that's my big news for today. Personally took 42 00:03:42.879 --> 00:03:46.639 a train ride from San Francisco down to Los Angeles, and Los Angeles across 43 00:03:46.639 --> 00:03:53.080 Arizona, New Mexico Texas, all the way up to Longview Texas, opt 44 00:03:53.319 --> 00:03:57.629 little bus to streveport. Had some good friends of mine, Anica and Patty, 45 00:03:57.710 --> 00:04:01.389 picked me up and let me stay there their place. They have awesome 46 00:04:01.430 --> 00:04:05.189 place for my studio and giving me some breathing room to get on my feet 47 00:04:06.270 --> 00:04:12.419 when to start a podcasting company in streeport. How about that? Because while 48 00:04:12.419 --> 00:04:17.339 I like to say I'm not a mental health activist or advocate, fucking a 49 00:04:18.100 --> 00:04:24.889 am a podcasting advocate. So if you want to make your own podcasts, 50 00:04:25.649 --> 00:04:28.970 especially in this realm where you like not sure you want to tell anybody you 51 00:04:29.089 --> 00:04:32.850 have a mental disorder, then get ahold of me. I'll keep your confidence 52 00:04:32.930 --> 00:04:36.970 and show you how to make podcasts. Because, you know, throughout the 53 00:04:38.170 --> 00:04:42.480 history of the bipolar style show, the whole yearlong ish history of the show, 54 00:04:43.160 --> 00:04:46.279 I've had some cool guests, but getting guests is hard. When you 55 00:04:46.319 --> 00:04:48.800 run a show by yourself, it's just fucking hard. You have to do 56 00:04:48.959 --> 00:04:53.670 everything. And I'm into like the other stuff too. I'm into graphic design 57 00:04:53.829 --> 00:04:57.550 and audio production, so I like that part, but gathering guests, that 58 00:04:57.910 --> 00:05:00.230 was hard and that kind of kept me focused on like, well, Shit, 59 00:05:00.269 --> 00:05:03.550 and now I just have to talk by myself or fucking ten or fifteen 60 00:05:03.550 --> 00:05:06.500 minute. That's lame. I don't I don't like listening to podcast where people 61 00:05:06.540 --> 00:05:11.699 just talk, talk, talk, whatever. So I'm thinking, well, 62 00:05:11.699 --> 00:05:14.699 I wouldn't listen to it. Who the fuck else is going to listen to 63 00:05:14.819 --> 00:05:18.779 it? I'm so turns out you listen to it, and so I love 64 00:05:18.860 --> 00:05:23.889 it. I appreciate you and thank you. So for two thousand and nineteen. 65 00:05:23.930 --> 00:05:29.529 I'm going to do way better for the bipolar style show. For one, 66 00:05:30.089 --> 00:05:34.250 I'm going to eliminate all of the other side projects, my personal podcast, 67 00:05:34.370 --> 00:05:41.600 and going to put them on ice and focus on bipolar style proper. 68 00:05:42.560 --> 00:05:46.759 Don't worry, I won't get bored because I'm starting a podcasting company, remember, 69 00:05:46.120 --> 00:05:51.589 so I'll have actual other kind of clients that I'll help produce podcast of 70 00:05:51.629 --> 00:05:58.990 all sorts. I have two industries already talking to making podcast for them and 71 00:05:59.990 --> 00:06:02.069 that'll be that. But if you have a podcast about mental health, mental 72 00:06:02.110 --> 00:06:05.620 illness, whatever, get ahold of me through the show, through twitter, 73 00:06:06.060 --> 00:06:12.459 email, whatever, and I'll fucking help you do it all. My theory 74 00:06:12.620 --> 00:06:15.899 is that if I keep doing this I'll get really good at it and eventually 75 00:06:15.899 --> 00:06:17.259 I'll make money at it. So I'm not trying to make money with this 76 00:06:17.500 --> 00:06:21.569 bipolar style podcast. That's why we don't have ads, and I'm not trying 77 00:06:21.569 --> 00:06:26.089 to really make money off of your podcast, because how do you do that? 78 00:06:26.250 --> 00:06:29.970 I'm not like a record executive at a record label trying to sign up 79 00:06:29.970 --> 00:06:33.439 to late at Sta no, but I can help you. If you're a 80 00:06:34.040 --> 00:06:39.519 mental health person, for sure will get past the stigma and do your fucking 81 00:06:39.600 --> 00:06:42.519 thing, tell your story, make your project. If you've always wanted to 82 00:06:42.560 --> 00:06:45.439 make a podcast, I can break it down for you. So it's super 83 00:06:45.519 --> 00:06:48.029 easy and we'll get that taken care of. Okay, cool. So maybe 84 00:06:48.069 --> 00:06:51.069 that's a thing for two thousand and nineteen for you, I mean not for 85 00:06:51.189 --> 00:06:55.550 me. I've already committed it. That's my thing for two thousand and nineteen, 86 00:06:55.589 --> 00:07:01.060 helping you make your podcast and helping small businesses and different industries make podcasts 87 00:07:01.459 --> 00:07:03.899 where they pay me for that help. So I can just be a full 88 00:07:03.939 --> 00:07:09.379 time podcaster. That sounds lovely, especially if I can do it from where 89 00:07:09.420 --> 00:07:13.500 I am now, in the middle of a nice forest up on a hill, 90 00:07:13.540 --> 00:07:17.449 a river off into the distance, plenty of room to move around. 91 00:07:17.569 --> 00:07:21.529 It feels like I'm kind of like in a mental hospital out in the sticks, 92 00:07:23.610 --> 00:07:27.529 but everybody's leaving me alone and they get the podcast. It's it's fucking 93 00:07:27.610 --> 00:07:31.000 cool. So my dad was staying at my place for a while waiting for 94 00:07:31.319 --> 00:07:35.519 his room to open up for his apartment or whatever. My Dad's like elderly 95 00:07:35.600 --> 00:07:42.240 style guy, not bipolar style, elderly style. When to make a podcast 96 00:07:42.319 --> 00:07:46.470 for old people called elderly style. Anyway, I got him situated. He's 97 00:07:46.509 --> 00:07:53.949 fine. He's up back at Lake Tahoe, you know, regular kind of 98 00:07:53.990 --> 00:07:58.189 looks pretty new actually, like built in the two thousands, modern architecture, 99 00:07:58.699 --> 00:08:03.220 contemporary fixings like Internet and cable and stuff like that. Lives with the bunch 100 00:08:03.259 --> 00:08:07.300 of old people like himself and they can all share their stories with each other 101 00:08:07.339 --> 00:08:11.660 as if they were new stories, which is cool. It's good thing, 102 00:08:11.699 --> 00:08:15.850 though, he was driving me fucking crazy. taught me a lot about guests 103 00:08:15.970 --> 00:08:18.329 and how to be a guest. So it tripped me out that he had 104 00:08:18.410 --> 00:08:22.490 no ambition. He lives the life of a house plant. He just sits 105 00:08:22.529 --> 00:08:28.480 there and saps up the sun coming in the window and watches MSNBC all day. 106 00:08:28.680 --> 00:08:30.680 They might go out and get some food once in a while, but 107 00:08:30.720 --> 00:08:35.000 it comes right back to that spot and just blew my mind, like you 108 00:08:35.120 --> 00:08:39.639 fucking move. Ever, then I realized, man, maybe it being a 109 00:08:39.639 --> 00:08:41.429 kind of a Dick, but I kind of was, but I kind of 110 00:08:41.549 --> 00:08:46.990 wasn't, because that was not the plan. He didn't come down to like 111 00:08:46.350 --> 00:08:48.909 sit in my place and wait for his own apartment to open up. We 112 00:08:48.990 --> 00:08:54.309 had a whole different plan. So, anyway, I have issues with unmet 113 00:08:54.470 --> 00:08:58.700 expectations to begin with, and then to just see a dude sitting in your 114 00:08:58.740 --> 00:09:03.139 apartment like a house plant with no ambition, like off, what the fuck? 115 00:09:03.539 --> 00:09:05.179 And then I start think, well, that's my dad. I am 116 00:09:05.179 --> 00:09:09.220 I going to turn out like that? Oh boy, oh well, so 117 00:09:09.620 --> 00:09:13.610 I'm not going to turn out like that. I have this insatiable drive to 118 00:09:13.769 --> 00:09:18.490 thrive and overcome. So two thousand and eighteen was neat because I learned about 119 00:09:18.610 --> 00:09:26.919 Dr Adler, Dr Alfred Adler, who, if you didn't know, was 120 00:09:26.000 --> 00:09:31.279 the third doctor in the Vienna School of Psychology. Everybody knows about Freud. 121 00:09:33.360 --> 00:09:37.559 You probably know about young, with the J Jung Young. You know. 122 00:09:37.950 --> 00:09:41.950 You know about Freud, you know about young, but did you know about 123 00:09:41.990 --> 00:09:46.389 addler? I think of it like the dude from guns n' roses, the 124 00:09:46.509 --> 00:09:50.269 original drummer, Steven Adler. Anyway, there's no relation, but think of 125 00:09:50.350 --> 00:09:56.700 it that way. Outfred Adler and his personal psychology has studied all about that. 126 00:09:56.779 --> 00:10:00.259 In two thousand and eighteen, in my mind is blown. I feel 127 00:10:00.259 --> 00:10:03.059 like, Oh my God, I can almost fix myself with this newfound knowledge. 128 00:10:05.139 --> 00:10:07.809 So, if you want to check out a good book from the library 129 00:10:07.889 --> 00:10:11.330 or find it cheap on the Internet something, check out this book called the 130 00:10:11.409 --> 00:10:18.850 courage to be disliked. It's a conversation between a mentor and a mentee about 131 00:10:18.970 --> 00:10:22.519 individual psychology, as based on Alfred Adler, told in a kind of a 132 00:10:24.200 --> 00:10:30.600 storytelle story, kind of fashion, easy read, mind blowing concepts. But 133 00:10:31.360 --> 00:10:33.080 yeah, if you're going to read something that that changed my life in two 134 00:10:33.080 --> 00:10:43.309 thousand and eighteen really that and an acid trip. Yeah, I took some 135 00:10:43.470 --> 00:10:46.629 acid. Not saying much more, but I found someone I took some and 136 00:10:46.830 --> 00:10:52.980 during this trip I realized the recurring theme was you already have everything you need. 137 00:10:52.899 --> 00:10:58.460 You already have everything you need, and I'm like, Whoa? Like 138 00:10:58.340 --> 00:11:01.259 anything, it's all on this planet, right here where I was put. 139 00:11:01.820 --> 00:11:05.450 You need more money, there's right over there. Go get some more money. 140 00:11:05.450 --> 00:11:09.129 You can need more oxygen or more shelter or more human these all there. 141 00:11:09.289 --> 00:11:13.250 The whole world has everything we need in it. So it was a 142 00:11:13.289 --> 00:11:18.370 lot more relaxing to me and I chilled out a bit started gaining more focus, 143 00:11:18.570 --> 00:11:22.240 considering I already have everything I need. What do I want to do 144 00:11:22.480 --> 00:11:24.840 with what I have, and it came down to, honestly, podcasting. 145 00:11:24.879 --> 00:11:28.799 I fucking love podcasting. Why? I don't like to hear myself talk, 146 00:11:28.879 --> 00:11:31.559 but I like the idea of storytelling and getting others to share their stories. 147 00:11:33.110 --> 00:11:37.549 So that's that's, in a nutshell, the past kind of year. The 148 00:11:37.669 --> 00:11:43.190 addler at Larry and psychology, finding my dad a place to be and trying 149 00:11:43.230 --> 00:11:48.980 to work out make a nonprofit SRO hotel much better than it can be, 150 00:11:50.460 --> 00:11:52.940 to no avail. That was kind of a fail on my part, but 151 00:11:52.379 --> 00:11:54.860 lessons learned. You know, you do what you can do. Oh and 152 00:11:54.940 --> 00:12:01.809 here's one thing that's kind of sucked. Earlier in the year at Bipolar Partycom 153 00:12:01.250 --> 00:12:05.809 a couple of the guests got on my ass for something I said or did, 154 00:12:05.649 --> 00:12:09.929 whatever was. They are off base with the details, but the fact 155 00:12:09.970 --> 00:12:15.330 that one person said it and another person backed them out. Like you know, 156 00:12:15.370 --> 00:12:18.000 I'm not going to kick people out of the group because they criticize me, 157 00:12:18.039 --> 00:12:22.320 their name calling and some kind of crass things, but whatever, point 158 00:12:22.440 --> 00:12:24.879 being, I take criticism to heart. It takes a while to suck it 159 00:12:24.919 --> 00:12:28.440 up and try to figure out what they really mean, because oftentimes when you 160 00:12:28.519 --> 00:12:33.750 critique somebody or throw out name calling, obviously that's that's not helpful because I 161 00:12:33.750 --> 00:12:39.429 can't discern what that what's in that. But when people say you're an egotistical 162 00:12:39.470 --> 00:12:43.029 or whatever, after check my ego, if they say you're an Asshole, 163 00:12:43.070 --> 00:12:46.139 after figure out what what have I done to make them think I'm an asshole? 164 00:12:46.740 --> 00:12:48.740 So the long and short of it, I just stopped going to the 165 00:12:48.779 --> 00:12:52.620 group for a while. Becky from that B word podcast does a great job 166 00:12:52.620 --> 00:12:58.539 at cohosting the group anyway, and she's a good middle ground and I just 167 00:12:58.570 --> 00:13:01.690 figured in two thousand and eighteen I would grow up and not engage every criticism 168 00:13:01.690 --> 00:13:07.289 against me and just step back and let it breathe. I heard a quote 169 00:13:07.330 --> 00:13:11.649 from Walt Disney, something to the effect of sometimes when you get kicked in 170 00:13:11.730 --> 00:13:13.399 the teeth, it takes a while for you understand that that was the best 171 00:13:13.559 --> 00:13:18.759 thing that happened to you. So the idea that you know sometimes criticism were 172 00:13:18.879 --> 00:13:22.840 things that seem like they heard at the moment are good for you, causes 173 00:13:22.840 --> 00:13:26.639 you to think. So, yeah, I started thinking anyway, it's just 174 00:13:26.759 --> 00:13:28.029 part of my campaign of being a less of an asshole. I don't know 175 00:13:28.110 --> 00:13:33.230 exactly the specifics. Sometimes people get wound up because, hey, we all 176 00:13:33.230 --> 00:13:37.029 have bipolar disorder and many others. So I just chocked it up. Is 177 00:13:37.110 --> 00:13:41.500 that too? I mean it's a group for bipolar it's called Bipolar Party. 178 00:13:41.500 --> 00:13:45.299 There's going to be fucking people acting out of line, and not out of 179 00:13:45.340 --> 00:13:48.779 a line, how do you say it? They'll miss a line with each 180 00:13:48.779 --> 00:13:52.700 other, like nobody's really out of line, just sometimes we miss a line 181 00:13:52.740 --> 00:13:56.009 with each other and it causes a rift. So anyway, I stepped out 182 00:13:56.049 --> 00:13:58.929 of that group for a while. I'll be back at bipolar party in two 183 00:13:58.970 --> 00:14:03.929 thousand and nineteen. Don't you worry. You got not the fuck out. 184 00:14:03.009 --> 00:14:09.080 Man, give me my gut him what payback? Some mother gaming, because 185 00:14:09.080 --> 00:14:13.200 you know that's a hangout for other bipolar podcast for example Becky at that B 186 00:14:13.399 --> 00:14:20.639 word, Brian Ats bipolar belief and Jim at the bipolar pod. So there's 187 00:14:20.679 --> 00:14:24.990 some cool podcasters hanging out there. If you want to be a podcaster and 188 00:14:24.110 --> 00:14:28.389 you want to hang out with mental health kind of folks, go to bipolar 189 00:14:28.590 --> 00:14:33.230 Partycom and I'll see you there in a few weeks. Okay, so that 190 00:14:33.350 --> 00:14:35.710 whole thing kind of rounds out to this moment now. So I'm glad you 191 00:14:35.789 --> 00:14:41.940 stayed around this far, because I've got exciting news, aside from getting my 192 00:14:41.019 --> 00:14:45.539 shit together more with the podcast for two thousand and nineteen, make it it 193 00:14:45.659 --> 00:14:48.980 more regular, getting up on the facebook, putting all the pieces together that 194 00:14:50.059 --> 00:14:54.009 I've been hesitant to, you know, address just because of one guy. 195 00:14:54.330 --> 00:14:56.250 You know, not too much time on my hands. I'm going to work 196 00:14:56.289 --> 00:15:01.570 on that stuff, but I'm going to have some help. That's right, 197 00:15:03.450 --> 00:15:05.730 there's going to be a cohost. I'm totally stoked. How did this come 198 00:15:05.809 --> 00:15:09.440 about? Well, I'm not telling you much about the person. That's the 199 00:15:09.480 --> 00:15:13.879 surprise. You're going to fucking love it. But it's a big enough change 200 00:15:13.960 --> 00:15:22.350 where I'm altering the logo. Emo Joe will change. Look for that and 201 00:15:22.549 --> 00:15:26.990 this person, because you remember, if you listen to this show last the 202 00:15:26.990 --> 00:15:28.789 last episode, I basically said, Hey, I'm not going to really do 203 00:15:28.789 --> 00:15:31.590 these unless anybody signs up to be on the show. Well, like I 204 00:15:31.629 --> 00:15:35.629 said, people don't like this volunteer to be on the show, especially with 205 00:15:35.740 --> 00:15:39.059 somebody like me who'll talk over you and is hyper and whatever. So that's 206 00:15:39.340 --> 00:15:41.379 I'm like, well, fuck it. It's a good way to kind of 207 00:15:41.940 --> 00:15:48.899 passive aggressively kill the show. Just do that. Well, somebody reached out. 208 00:15:48.340 --> 00:15:50.450 Like I always say, if you want to do your own reach out, 209 00:15:50.450 --> 00:15:56.370 I'll help. Well, somebody reached out in that context and this person 210 00:15:56.610 --> 00:16:03.570 had some ideas for podcast and they were bouncing them off a third person and 211 00:16:03.809 --> 00:16:07.559 like many projects, the third person who I don't know and whatever, but 212 00:16:07.679 --> 00:16:10.840 it's similar to many project have been part of. There's always one person that 213 00:16:10.919 --> 00:16:12.240 wants to do a thing, or claims to want to do a thing, 214 00:16:14.200 --> 00:16:17.200 but there's always an excuse why the thing doesn't get done. Like a lot 215 00:16:17.240 --> 00:16:18.590 of people, I think just like planning, they like to be in the 216 00:16:18.629 --> 00:16:22.549 planning stage so that it never actually gets accomplished. If you never ship your 217 00:16:22.669 --> 00:16:27.590 idea, you can never ship your product. Then nobody can ever criticize you, 218 00:16:27.710 --> 00:16:32.669 and I think people find comfort in the idea that they'll never be criticized 219 00:16:32.710 --> 00:16:34.940 if they're constantly working on the thing. No, fuck that, it's not 220 00:16:36.059 --> 00:16:38.580 my personality. Let's make a thing, see if people like it, and 221 00:16:38.659 --> 00:16:42.019 if they do, cool, ask him what they like about it and fix 222 00:16:42.059 --> 00:16:45.899 it, make it even better. If they don't like it, stop making 223 00:16:45.899 --> 00:16:48.929 the thing and move on. We're creative people. We can come up with 224 00:16:48.049 --> 00:16:51.929 new ideas. It's not a big deal. Just fucking think of something new 225 00:16:52.009 --> 00:16:56.330 to do. So this listener had apparently found one of those people right and 226 00:16:56.450 --> 00:17:02.000 I'm instantly like empathize right away. I'm like, Oh boy, I don't 227 00:17:02.039 --> 00:17:04.559 know how to help you with that situation. So I listen more to what 228 00:17:04.720 --> 00:17:11.119 this person was indicating they wanted to do and the ideas, but more importantly, 229 00:17:11.160 --> 00:17:15.000 I was checking out the energy, which turned about to be like mine. 230 00:17:15.119 --> 00:17:18.589 This person is bipolar in the same way that I'm bipolar. We're hardly 231 00:17:18.670 --> 00:17:22.230 ever depressed. We don't like to focus on the depression at all. There's 232 00:17:22.230 --> 00:17:27.390 plenty of people with unipolar like just depression. Fine, do that, because 233 00:17:27.509 --> 00:17:32.059 we are manning that. They don't have talk shows for just mania. So 234 00:17:32.700 --> 00:17:37.099 we like the bipolar podcast that feature people like us that are upbeat, their 235 00:17:37.339 --> 00:17:41.539 fast and like. You get it if you have bipolar disorder, you fucking 236 00:17:41.579 --> 00:17:44.849 get what I'm saying right now. So I found another one of us, 237 00:17:44.890 --> 00:17:48.089 or this person found me, let's say. We ran over list of ideas 238 00:17:48.170 --> 00:17:51.369 and before long, I mean I'm thinking, man, I just kind of 239 00:17:52.009 --> 00:17:57.410 passive aggressively iced the bipolar style show. This person would be the perfect catalyst 240 00:17:57.569 --> 00:18:02.960 to relaunch it and make it a whole new fucking thing, like way different, 241 00:18:03.039 --> 00:18:11.680 like not just incrementally, we're talking exponentially better show. HMM, but 242 00:18:11.039 --> 00:18:15.630 like is that appropriate to say no, I'm not going to help you with 243 00:18:15.710 --> 00:18:21.470 your project, but it's you want to help me with my project? I 244 00:18:21.549 --> 00:18:25.470 can't tell you exactly how that conversation went, but the long and the short 245 00:18:25.509 --> 00:18:32.019 of it that person is going to be the cohost for bipolar style starting the 246 00:18:32.140 --> 00:18:37.619 next episode. So next episode, we'll call it episode zero for season two 247 00:18:37.619 --> 00:18:41.329 thousand and nineteen, and it will feature this person's origin story, you know, 248 00:18:41.529 --> 00:18:45.569 like I like to think of all of us as superheroes in a way, 249 00:18:45.089 --> 00:18:51.089 and we'll want to know this person's origin story and how they got to 250 00:18:51.210 --> 00:18:56.119 where they are on the mic next to me at the fantastic bipolar style studios. 251 00:18:57.119 --> 00:19:00.680 So that's exciting. I'm totally stoked about that. Give me a new 252 00:19:00.720 --> 00:19:06.480 focus, a new lease on life. Sometimes you just cross paths with people 253 00:19:06.480 --> 00:19:10.309 that run at the same speed and things work out. So you never know. 254 00:19:10.470 --> 00:19:12.509 Nothing's forever. We don't know my I said, you know what, 255 00:19:12.950 --> 00:19:17.950 then, I want to build like the coolest podcast for bipolar people ever. 256 00:19:17.990 --> 00:19:22.710 I wanted to be like the Metallica of bipolar podcast and then I started thinking, 257 00:19:22.710 --> 00:19:26.220 well, there aren't really that money bipolar podcast and none of them are 258 00:19:26.259 --> 00:19:30.099 trying to be the metallica of bipolar podcast. They're trying to be like the 259 00:19:30.140 --> 00:19:34.500 Dave Matthews Band of bipolar podcast, the Endya of bipolar podcast, and like 260 00:19:34.660 --> 00:19:41.329 no, I want to be like the metallica of bipolar podcasts. I can 261 00:19:41.410 --> 00:19:47.170 dream, all right. So, Hey, I found this. In Louisiana 262 00:19:47.650 --> 00:19:51.690 they've got drive through daiquiri shops. You can drive your car through the back 263 00:19:51.769 --> 00:19:56.279 of the liquor store and there's a window like at a bank and Change. 264 00:19:56.400 --> 00:19:57.559 There you go. You can put some money in the thing and the lady 265 00:19:57.599 --> 00:20:02.400 will hand you out a freshly made Daiquiri. The one I got tonight has 266 00:20:03.039 --> 00:20:07.670 what he call it stuff ever clear. It's like a hundred ninety proof. 267 00:20:08.589 --> 00:20:11.430 Sounds like a mess. I've had a couple sips of it and thank God 268 00:20:11.509 --> 00:20:15.789 the brain freeze load me down because it's kind of buzzy. It's lots of 269 00:20:15.869 --> 00:20:18.990 liquor in there. Don't worry, I'll be fine. I don't drink a 270 00:20:18.069 --> 00:20:22.380 much, ever, and I'm not planning on getting super wasted tonight. I 271 00:20:22.460 --> 00:20:29.660 just wanted to taste my first official Louisiana Daqiri, so that's exciting. Ever, 272 00:20:29.779 --> 00:20:33.019 clear in a Daquerie.

Like I said, man, if you want to do a podcast, 275 00:20:40.730 --> 00:20:44.930 hit me up bipolar stylecom. I'm building a new website to go with 276 00:20:45.009 --> 00:20:47.569 this whole change for two thousand and nineteen. Yeah, I'm pretty stoked. 277 00:20:47.569 --> 00:20:52.359 I think you will be too once you hear what's happening. That's it's all 278 00:20:52.400 --> 00:20:55.720 I've got, man, I've talked long enough. You have a wonderful night. 279 00:20:55.759 --> 00:20:57.519 I'm glad you're still here with us.

Man, don't do 285 00:21:15.869 --> 00:21:18.420 that. You're here with us. Stay focused. Two Thousand and nineteen is 286 00:21:18.460 --> 00:21:22.099 going to kick ass. We're already weird as the rest of the world to 287 00:21:22.299 --> 00:21:26.500 tior rates and turns, the chaos. We already know what that's like. 288 00:21:26.700 --> 00:21:30.380 So we've got a headstart and I think if we stick together, things going 289 00:21:30.420 --> 00:21:33.930 to be pretty Badass for us. So head tight, listen to the next 290 00:21:34.009 --> 00:21:37.289 episode. We're going to do episode zero for two thousand, two thousand and 291 00:21:37.329 --> 00:21:41.690 nineteen season, and that will be the origin story of my new cohost, 292 00:21:42.490 --> 00:21:48.400 who I'm not telling you anything else about, COOL CHAP
