How are you doing? Peak Covid-19 Update from John Emotions

WEBVTT 1 00:00:02.200 --> 00:00:10.310 It's only head and now it's online Bible this stylecom yes, an emotions with 2 00:00:10.630 --> 00:00:17.629 Bible it style. WHOO. Yeah, it's a lot to live up to. 3 00:00:18.550 --> 00:00:24.019 So I kind of feel like a Dick because the episode before last I 4 00:00:24.140 --> 00:00:28.100 was all about a tournaments, like yeah, you got to go talk to 5 00:00:28.219 --> 00:00:33.460 people and see people facetoface and go explore new churches in real life. And 6 00:00:34.299 --> 00:00:41.570 obviously since then this bizarre ass virus is taken over and now nobody's allowed to 7 00:00:41.649 --> 00:00:46.369 go hang out with each other. So, Um, I guess I should 8 00:00:46.369 --> 00:00:51.079 reiterate some cool things to do if you're like feeling shitty and alone in your 9 00:00:51.119 --> 00:00:54.560 room or your house or whatever and don't have any pets or family or whatever. 10 00:00:55.960 --> 00:00:58.039 We'll talk about that in a minute, but I want to catch you 11 00:00:58.079 --> 00:01:00.560 up on what's going on anyway, like why I haven't been making as many 12 00:01:00.600 --> 00:01:04.549 of these podcasts and why probably won't continue to make a lot of them. 13 00:01:04.909 --> 00:01:10.549 But you know, since a lot of people are kind of panicked getting really 14 00:01:10.549 --> 00:01:14.709 anxious about not going outside, I figured why not throw another log on the 15 00:01:14.790 --> 00:01:19.739 fire have another podcast? So, anyway, here's what's going on. We 16 00:01:19.739 --> 00:01:25.620 came down from, obviously a while back, from about a year ago now, 17 00:01:26.140 --> 00:01:30.900 from California over to Louisiana. We are up in the ARC LA text 18 00:01:30.980 --> 00:01:38.409 they call it Arkansas, Louisiana Texas area. That was shreveport, and stayed 19 00:01:38.450 --> 00:01:44.010 there for a little bit. Came down to a town in southwest Louisiana where 20 00:01:44.049 --> 00:01:49.480 we're kind of trying to do some renovations, start assign company and things like 21 00:01:49.560 --> 00:01:53.760 that. You know, things you can do when you have mental conditions that 22 00:01:53.920 --> 00:01:59.319 make you not want to either conform or just can't get out of bed sometimes 23 00:01:59.400 --> 00:02:01.750 or need to not have a boss shouting over your shoulder or whatever. So 24 00:02:01.870 --> 00:02:07.870 anyway, you could always do it yourself, try entrepreneurship. So we got 25 00:02:07.950 --> 00:02:12.389 down here and then what was really cool is, as fate would have it, 26 00:02:12.750 --> 00:02:17.060 two of my sons are they were ready to move on from where they 27 00:02:17.099 --> 00:02:22.099 were like for whatever number of reasons, the same way I always am, 28 00:02:22.819 --> 00:02:27.139 and they had an opportunity to come here. So the cool thing is that 29 00:02:27.180 --> 00:02:29.979 they're here with me. In fact, if hear any noise in the background 30 00:02:30.050 --> 00:02:34.930 there, they're just chilling while I'm doing this podcast as well. In fact, 31 00:02:34.930 --> 00:02:38.250 you for them on those past to podcast, Nick and Jack. So 32 00:02:38.449 --> 00:02:44.840 we're basically doing the whole social isolation thing together, which is great. It's 33 00:02:44.840 --> 00:02:47.840 kind of a boring generally, but it's great to be around people I love 34 00:02:47.879 --> 00:02:51.840 and haven't been around for a while. So we're doing all over, catching 35 00:02:51.919 --> 00:02:55.520 up on fucking, you know, podcast and youtube videos and, you know, 36 00:02:55.599 --> 00:03:00.229 sharing different movies we've liked and haven't seen together. So that's pretty fun. 37 00:03:00.349 --> 00:03:05.030 I like that and I wish everybody had that same opportunity and I feel, 38 00:03:05.189 --> 00:03:07.229 I don't, for lack of a better word, blessed. Not a 39 00:03:07.310 --> 00:03:10.909 religious person, but I feel like we got really fortunate to kind of if 40 00:03:10.909 --> 00:03:14.419 you're going to be stuck together, be stuck together with people you love. 41 00:03:14.580 --> 00:03:20.979 And we also happen to be stuck in a town where it's pretty socially isolated 42 00:03:21.180 --> 00:03:23.819 anyway, or physically distant from one another. Just a lot of space between 43 00:03:23.860 --> 00:03:32.289 people. So, since we're already distant from each other anyway, practicing whatever 44 00:03:32.569 --> 00:03:38.449 social distancing, physical distancing as I call it, is not difficult out here. 45 00:03:39.569 --> 00:03:43.759 We I mean, you can go for a walk around town and nobody 46 00:03:43.759 --> 00:03:46.759 goes for a walk. It just one of those towns. They'll wave at 47 00:03:46.879 --> 00:03:52.759 if from the car and we'll wave back, but otherwise it's and it's not 48 00:03:52.840 --> 00:03:55.870 much of a change. But the cool thing is we've got plants. The 49 00:03:55.949 --> 00:04:00.310 cool thing with all this downtime has allowed us to kind of craft some really 50 00:04:00.349 --> 00:04:04.550 cool plans for the future that involve all of the things that we each love 51 00:04:04.710 --> 00:04:09.469 together working towards a common goal. So that should be a lot of fun. 52 00:04:10.740 --> 00:04:14.580 You know, I was checking out some of the things people were doing 53 00:04:14.979 --> 00:04:19.579 with APPs and on the Internet. There's one cool thing you should check out 54 00:04:19.579 --> 00:04:27.810 I thought was really neat. The Comic Maria Bamford is doing shows through zoom, 55 00:04:28.089 --> 00:04:31.610 through the zoom APP, and she's paying her staff and she's donating half 56 00:04:31.649 --> 00:04:39.920 of the proceeds, proceeds proceeds to the downtown Women Center and Los Angeles, 57 00:04:40.000 --> 00:04:45.079 which is a great organization. Check that out. I know Becky at that 58 00:04:45.240 --> 00:04:50.199 B word podcast and I we're talking about doing like a Hollywood squares with the 59 00:04:50.240 --> 00:04:57.949 bunch of people from the mental health kind of twitter environment. But then I 60 00:04:58.029 --> 00:05:00.750 found out that Skype, in this program I'm using, ECAM live, won't 61 00:05:00.790 --> 00:05:06.029 allow for nine consecutive squares like a grid. So kind of put that on 62 00:05:06.110 --> 00:05:10.819 the self forgot to tell becky about that. Anyway, Becky, that's what 63 00:05:10.980 --> 00:05:14.819 happened then the software won't hold fucking nine squares. So what do you do 64 00:05:15.379 --> 00:05:19.420 anyway? So there's some cool ideas that you can do using technology. So 65 00:05:19.620 --> 00:05:23.689 that's kind of what we're getting to. If you want to start a group 66 00:05:23.730 --> 00:05:27.930 or anything like that, I would highly in coourage you get on twitch or 67 00:05:28.009 --> 00:05:32.569 a gaming platform. Animal crossings is out now, and anything where you interact 68 00:05:32.649 --> 00:05:38.759 on almost real time doing something that's not looking at viruses. Fuck that's so 69 00:05:38.839 --> 00:05:42.519 much better for your mental health and staring at the news and worrying about what 70 00:05:42.639 --> 00:05:47.279 the president or the governor or whatever the fuck saying. Not saying to diminish 71 00:05:47.439 --> 00:05:54.509 germs. Obviously. What I'm saying is what you focus on grows. I've 72 00:05:54.550 --> 00:05:58.949 said that many times. And if you're just going to focus on germs and 73 00:05:58.990 --> 00:06:01.509 viruses, that's really all you going to start seeing and then you'll drive yourself 74 00:06:01.589 --> 00:06:09.180 fucking crazy. That's kind of the reason why I don't like doing this podcast 75 00:06:09.220 --> 00:06:12.699 as much. I mean not to not to Piss off the party, but 76 00:06:14.379 --> 00:06:16.459 when you have some kind of disorder and the you know, it always changes, 77 00:06:16.540 --> 00:06:20.569 the diagnosis always changes, comes around full circle and does the whole thing 78 00:06:21.529 --> 00:06:25.370 and you know, we just pick whatever want I had at the time and 79 00:06:25.449 --> 00:06:28.970 so let's do a podcast about that. But again, what you focus on 80 00:06:29.129 --> 00:06:31.689 grows, and if I just sit here and focus on a mood disorder, 81 00:06:32.040 --> 00:06:36.360 will always notice my moods. Well, sometimes if you just fucking focus on 82 00:06:36.519 --> 00:06:41.279 a thing that you like to do, like starting a new business or working 83 00:06:41.360 --> 00:06:45.000 on our art project or, Hey, even crafting a podcast, sometimes it's 84 00:06:45.000 --> 00:06:48.350 just fun if you stay focused on a different thing other than that. So 85 00:06:48.670 --> 00:06:55.029 I'm working on different PODCASTS. The boys and are putting together podcast called jive 86 00:06:55.230 --> 00:07:00.470 Bros. That kind of serves our affinity for for the Jive, for the 87 00:07:00.550 --> 00:07:04.740 weed and the marijuana. We were all big fans, I would say, 88 00:07:04.779 --> 00:07:10.420 spokespeople or activists or whatever for it. But we're going to do the give 89 00:07:10.500 --> 00:07:13.339 Bros. If you want to find out more about what we talked about there, 90 00:07:14.139 --> 00:07:15.689 you welcome to it. And a lot of my buddies from across the 91 00:07:15.769 --> 00:07:21.290 country we call in and talk about today's events. You know, typical white 92 00:07:21.329 --> 00:07:25.129 guy podcast stuff, I guess, but you know, we feel we do 93 00:07:25.170 --> 00:07:28.129 it in a honestly, we like to talk to each other and hang out, 94 00:07:28.170 --> 00:07:31.000 so we might as well record it and just get practice talking on the 95 00:07:31.040 --> 00:07:36.480 MIC's Mike Technique, recording technique and pushing the buttons on the fucking, you 96 00:07:36.560 --> 00:07:40.959 know, production gear. So that'll be. That will do. Give Bros, 97 00:07:42.079 --> 00:07:45.230 and once in a while it might hit up bipolar style. But I 98 00:07:45.350 --> 00:07:53.949 switched over. It did little little flipflop with twitter accounts and then I dumped 99 00:07:54.149 --> 00:07:59.300 the main one. So now I didn't not follow you personally. If you're 100 00:07:59.300 --> 00:08:01.980 listening to this and like what the fuck do you but do you want follow 101 00:08:01.019 --> 00:08:03.060 me? I just why would? Why would I do that? I don't 102 00:08:03.060 --> 00:08:09.860 know you now. I just dumped all those accounts and took the one that 103 00:08:09.980 --> 00:08:13.209 had the most people left over with, which was a different account. I 104 00:08:13.250 --> 00:08:15.889 think I have on some accounts. I have, I think, like more 105 00:08:15.930 --> 00:08:20.129 twitter accounts than I actually have followers on some of them. It's fucking ridiculous. 106 00:08:20.689 --> 00:08:26.529 Anyway, pulled the fast one with a twitter and dumped off the Bisy 107 00:08:26.649 --> 00:08:30.839 poler style people, dumped off the johnny emotions people. I think I locked 108 00:08:30.920 --> 00:08:35.679 both of those counts of the private so whoever was was in the gate already. 109 00:08:35.000 --> 00:08:39.120 Well, congratulations, welcome to the party. Everybody else will just communicate 110 00:08:39.240 --> 00:08:43.309 through a fucking podcast. Hey, why not? Far The thing with twitter 111 00:08:43.389 --> 00:08:48.269 that was driving me crazy was that, well, we have tons of listeners 112 00:08:48.389 --> 00:08:52.389 that download the podcast, not too many of you are like twitter engagers or 113 00:08:52.429 --> 00:08:58.059 whatever, and the handful that were I didn't really see or hear from that 114 00:08:58.259 --> 00:09:01.740 often. So it just became like feel like I'm just talking into the air 115 00:09:01.980 --> 00:09:07.419 really. So, anyway, that's why I'm just need free my mind, 116 00:09:07.940 --> 00:09:13.529 look at stuff, go out in nature. So we actually found a cool 117 00:09:13.570 --> 00:09:16.809 place to go. We had to down this one road in town and it 118 00:09:16.929 --> 00:09:20.250 took us two dead ends and at the dead end, how about that was 119 00:09:20.289 --> 00:09:22.970 a fucking river. Was Amazing. Check it out. I'll send pictures. 120 00:09:24.480 --> 00:09:28.720 And there's nature. There frogs and gators and turtles and bugs, lots of 121 00:09:28.799 --> 00:09:35.120 bugs. Well, it brings me to another thing. We might get to 122 00:09:35.200 --> 00:09:39.830 go work on a farm. Yeah, because I think the farm hands got 123 00:09:39.950 --> 00:09:43.190 sick and we might get to go work on a farm. This should be 124 00:09:43.230 --> 00:09:48.309 fun. Take picture of that Shit too. Know. Anyway, I just 125 00:09:48.389 --> 00:09:50.269 want to check in real quick. Not really going anywhere. I'm just not 126 00:09:50.389 --> 00:09:54.059 producing a lot of shit, but I am okay, fine. I'm out 127 00:09:54.059 --> 00:10:00.419 here in the middle of nowhere, effectively away from networks of people. I'm 128 00:10:00.460 --> 00:10:05.100 not in a working for a homeless company, you know, nonprofit helping homeless 129 00:10:05.139 --> 00:10:09.009 people. I don't have that kind of stress and everything's generally okay. Now 130 00:10:09.049 --> 00:10:11.970 we're just moving forward on our plan and trying to make something happen while the 131 00:10:13.049 --> 00:10:16.769 world is basically stopped. So I wish US luck there and check us out 132 00:10:16.769 --> 00:10:22.759 at Jive Broscom or, you know, on twitter, wherever, at give 133 00:10:22.000 --> 00:10:28.440 Bros.
