WEBVTT 1 00:00:02.680 --> 00:00:06.799 Whoop. Sometimes I feel like I mean one of those that little clear vacuum 2 00:00:06.799 --> 00:00:10.869 tubes things the use two have at the banks and just show up at your 3 00:00:11.070 --> 00:00:15.349 at your door. Whoop. Hi, I'm John. Welcome back to Emo 4 00:00:15.470 --> 00:00:20.829 Dojo. I'm John. Hi, I'm John. You guys watch Dave. 5 00:00:21.390 --> 00:00:26.699 I love that show. It's like a generation z version of curb your enthusiasm. 6 00:00:27.620 --> 00:00:33.460 If you like neurotic humor, check out Dave fx. Pretty Dope you 7 00:00:33.619 --> 00:00:36.770 like it. I got all upbeat stuff today. I had to get this 8 00:00:36.850 --> 00:00:42.250 podcast done quickly because I'm running out of daylight and daytime. I need to 9 00:00:42.329 --> 00:00:47.250 go to bed and I just wanted to meet my commitment. So this podcast 10 00:00:47.409 --> 00:00:53.200 is for August. Fourth I'm doing a daily challenge, like a podcast today 11 00:00:53.320 --> 00:00:58.359 and episode today for all of August. Okay, so real quick. I 12 00:00:58.479 --> 00:01:00.479 don't know if you have an instagram account, but if you do, you 13 00:01:00.600 --> 00:01:06.230 probably get ads for devices. Well, I don't know, maybe just I 14 00:01:06.310 --> 00:01:08.469 do because I'm in that algorithm. So, long and short of it, 15 00:01:08.549 --> 00:01:15.269 I get ads for interesting devices. I did a couple of episodes about why. 16 00:01:15.269 --> 00:01:19.379 I talk about it pretty frequently. The lifted thing, transcranial direct current 17 00:01:19.420 --> 00:01:23.659 stimulation, basically a rain Zapper. I use that. I like it. 18 00:01:23.939 --> 00:01:26.620 I'll tell you more about that. And since I started, I don't know, 19 00:01:26.780 --> 00:01:30.819 talking about that or whatever, I got in this other algorithm or see 20 00:01:30.859 --> 00:01:36.689 more ads, but clicked on one ad for a thing called the Apollo Neuro. 21 00:01:37.329 --> 00:01:41.290 The Apollo Neuro, now what this is? It looks like about the 22 00:01:41.409 --> 00:01:45.930 size of Apple Watch strap. It on your wrists or your ankle is a 23 00:01:45.969 --> 00:01:49.079 different strap if want to put it on your ankle. I thought the ankle 24 00:01:49.159 --> 00:01:53.439 strap looked a bit much like home detention situation down there, so I just 25 00:01:53.560 --> 00:01:57.640 wear it on my wrist. And then the Apollo neuro comes with an APP 26 00:01:59.079 --> 00:02:01.909 for your phone. You just grab the APP, open it up and you'll 27 00:02:01.909 --> 00:02:07.629 see a bunch of different settings, like about eight different settings, like calm 28 00:02:07.670 --> 00:02:13.990 or focused or social whatever, right, and you just basically pick whatever mood 29 00:02:14.030 --> 00:02:17.379 you want to vibe in, and so I put it on, pick the 30 00:02:17.460 --> 00:02:22.500 mood, let it rip. So what it does? I guess, depending 31 00:02:22.580 --> 00:02:30.530 on the mood you pick, it changes the vibrational intensity and duration and oscillation 32 00:02:30.729 --> 00:02:32.449 and things like that. There's a lot of things involved with vibration, but 33 00:02:32.569 --> 00:02:39.569 it changes them apparently has them tuned to the human nervous system at specific frequencies, 34 00:02:39.610 --> 00:02:44.439 velocities and such. So okay, here's what I think it feels like. 35 00:02:45.000 --> 00:02:47.719 If you ever have a cat, kitten, whatnot it? Well, 36 00:02:47.919 --> 00:02:51.400 just imagine you laying in bed or on the easy chair, the couch or 37 00:02:51.439 --> 00:02:54.000 whatever, and the cat falls asleep on your wrist and after about five or 38 00:02:54.080 --> 00:02:57.919 ten minutes, a screw its leave the cat there. Well, and step 39 00:02:57.960 --> 00:03:02.909 cat starts purring. Now imagine that purring feeling on your wrists. That's almost 40 00:03:02.949 --> 00:03:07.909 exactly what the Apollo neuro feels like, a cat purring on your wrist. 41 00:03:08.349 --> 00:03:12.189 And you might say, well, what good is that? I thought the 42 00:03:12.270 --> 00:03:15.860 same thing at first. I wasn't sure what good it would be, but 43 00:03:15.060 --> 00:03:19.819 if I liked it and just felt cute, for lack of a better word, 44 00:03:20.180 --> 00:03:23.740 feel like I got a kitty on my wrist. So apparently what it's 45 00:03:23.780 --> 00:03:30.810 doing is it's sending vibrations up your wrist into your nervous system that correspond with 46 00:03:30.090 --> 00:03:34.729 your fight or flight mechanism. That's something else we should talk about. To 47 00:03:35.129 --> 00:03:38.449 you know, when people talk about fight or flight, they often forget that 48 00:03:38.610 --> 00:03:40.759 there's a third one that's equally important. It's called freeze, a lot of 49 00:03:40.800 --> 00:03:44.360 people just freeze in life to like. You know what I mean. They 50 00:03:44.639 --> 00:03:47.039 they don't. They're not scared enough to run, angry enough to fight back, 51 00:03:47.039 --> 00:03:51.280 so they just kind of freeze. Well, that's dangerous to because life 52 00:03:51.319 --> 00:03:55.310 and earth and everything keeps moving forward, so freezing is effectively going backwards to 53 00:03:57.069 --> 00:04:00.229 I digress. This thing, though, works with your nervous system in that 54 00:04:00.349 --> 00:04:03.430 sense it reminds your fight or flight nervous system that you don't have to fight 55 00:04:03.550 --> 00:04:08.590 or fully or freeze. How did they know it does that? I don't 56 00:04:08.590 --> 00:04:11.659 know. I'm going to have them on the PODCAST can ask them these questions. 57 00:04:12.099 --> 00:04:15.020 And apparently you can't use it too much. The more you use it, 58 00:04:15.099 --> 00:04:19.579 the better your nervous system becomes at self regulating at not going into fight 59 00:04:19.620 --> 00:04:24.850 or flight or freeze mode. I've used it in many, many occasions. 60 00:04:24.850 --> 00:04:29.730 I've used it in company meetings, I've used it driving, I've used it 61 00:04:29.769 --> 00:04:32.649 at bedtime, I've used it watching television, I've used it a lot. 62 00:04:32.930 --> 00:04:36.610 So I've collected HMM, not sure. I'll check the hours. I think 63 00:04:36.610 --> 00:04:41.519 you're supposed to get a thousand hours and I'm probably up to about seven hundred 64 00:04:41.639 --> 00:04:45.839 hours collectively. And to be honest with you, I think it has caught 65 00:04:45.959 --> 00:04:50.120 my fight or flight reaction a couple of times, a couple of times when 66 00:04:50.160 --> 00:04:54.069 I'm just like get the fuck out of here, I got to get out 67 00:04:54.069 --> 00:04:57.949 of here, and then either the buzzing on my wrist or like a ghost 68 00:04:58.110 --> 00:05:01.709 buzzing when I'm not even wearing the thing will occur and I'll just think about 69 00:05:01.750 --> 00:05:04.790 it for just for a split second. But that's long enough for me to 70 00:05:04.870 --> 00:05:09.819 catch myself, and when I catch myself I use a trick like, Oh, 71 00:05:10.500 --> 00:05:14.459 I just realized that I have a feeling that I want to get the 72 00:05:14.500 --> 00:05:17.500 fuck out of here. So by doing that, by the I just realized, 73 00:05:17.500 --> 00:05:20.100 kind of meant. Let's the whole scenario know that I'm onto you, 74 00:05:21.209 --> 00:05:26.569 that I had a feeling. That separates the feeling from my person and then 75 00:05:26.610 --> 00:05:30.569 I name the feeling. It's not so bad anymore. So in that aspect, 76 00:05:30.569 --> 00:05:35.120 having a little vibrational thing like the Apollo and euro on your wrist does 77 00:05:35.160 --> 00:05:40.079 kind of help, but I don't know exactly how. I'm super curious and 78 00:05:40.120 --> 00:05:43.279 there's a whole bunch of this missing. It's not in the literature, it's 79 00:05:43.279 --> 00:05:46.319 not on the website. I want to talk to a God damn scientist and 80 00:05:46.360 --> 00:05:48.639 find out what's really going on here. It's overly simplified. Basically, I 81 00:05:48.759 --> 00:05:53.509 want to get more into the nuts and bolts of why they set the frequencies 82 00:05:53.550 --> 00:05:58.670 at the ranges that they did. That's never explained and for three hundred and 83 00:05:58.709 --> 00:06:02.189 fifty bucks I would want to explanation. Fortunately, they were kind enough to 84 00:06:02.310 --> 00:06:06.620 send me one of their wrist bands to talk about, which I'm talking about. 85 00:06:06.620 --> 00:06:10.819 But I also have lots of questions and they said, I think I 86 00:06:10.819 --> 00:06:14.740 got an email back confirming that they would be on a podcast. So let 87 00:06:14.779 --> 00:06:18.290 me come up with some good questions and we'll have the people from Apollo neuro 88 00:06:18.730 --> 00:06:25.689 come on and talk about their vibrational device for the wrist, the Apollo Neuro. 89 00:06:26.410 --> 00:06:29.730 All right, here's something cool to watch. Now, if you've bought 90 00:06:29.730 --> 00:06:33.199 an apple device of some sort, there's chances are pretty high you have apple 91 00:06:33.319 --> 00:06:36.879 TV or apple plus, whatever the fuck it's called, a fin's apple plus 92 00:06:38.560 --> 00:06:42.199 the TV show that you can watch on TV, all the TV shows, 93 00:06:42.319 --> 00:06:46.240 Ted Lasso, all that stuff. So, while Ted Lasso is great, 94 00:06:46.079 --> 00:06:49.750 really funny, Big Fan of Jason Sadecus, I think a lot of people 95 00:06:49.790 --> 00:06:55.910 are missing out on this show called physical. The cover artwork makes it look 96 00:06:55.910 --> 00:07:01.300 like that other Netflix series with Mark Mayre and as the glow wrestling ladies bit. 97 00:07:02.660 --> 00:07:08.379 The artwork looks like that. But on apple plus the cover is for 98 00:07:08.579 --> 00:07:11.740 physical and you look at us like what is that? Looks like all aerobics 99 00:07:11.779 --> 00:07:15.490 or something. Well, that's it. It's a dark comedy. Yeah, 100 00:07:15.569 --> 00:07:19.689 a dark comedy. It's almost drama, but it's a dark comedy about the 101 00:07:20.730 --> 00:07:28.129 origins of those silly aerobics videos back in the S. it's got great performances. 102 00:07:28.689 --> 00:07:32.600 Everybody's crazy. There's neurotic people all around, hearing people's back stories as 103 00:07:32.639 --> 00:07:36.800 wild the main character. You can hear her thoughts while she's saying something else 104 00:07:36.879 --> 00:07:40.519 to the person in front of hers. You can hear the contradiction and what 105 00:07:40.560 --> 00:07:44.750 kind of person she really is compared to the person she's pretending to be in 106 00:07:45.269 --> 00:07:47.629 you know, in her life and everybody around her is just crazy anyway. 107 00:07:48.389 --> 00:07:51.709 Good storyline though. Super Cool. I'm like I would beings watch it if 108 00:07:51.790 --> 00:07:55.790 I could, but they only come out once a week, so must be 109 00:07:55.990 --> 00:08:00.660 patient. All right. Well, I am hitting the road tomorrow, August 110 00:08:00.779 --> 00:08:03.060 five. MMM, I'll find a way to get a podcast up. I'm 111 00:08:03.060 --> 00:08:07.339 not sure about the sound quality or the studio I'll be in, but I'll 112 00:08:07.540 --> 00:08:09.100 make it work. In the meantime, I hope you have a great day. 113 00:08:09.699 --> 00:08:13.410 We'll talk to you tomorrow. From EMO Dojo, I'm John Chiao, 114 00:08:22.370 --> 00:08:22.410 and now back to the wall.
