It's only your head, and now
it's online and Bible, this stylecom yes,
2
00:00:08.949 --> 00:00:16.589
John Emotions with Bible, that style. Oh Hey, you may have
3
00:00:16.750 --> 00:00:21.579
noticed. I didn't. The name
of the PODCAST is changed. Sort of
4
00:00:22.300 --> 00:00:26.780
I got tired of using the word
bipolar and pretty much anything, because what
5
00:00:27.059 --> 00:00:31.699
purpose does it serve? Why are
we labeling all of this? And then
6
00:00:31.739 --> 00:00:38.289
I realized, like when I was
going to Kaiser out in California, they're
7
00:00:38.369 --> 00:00:43.009
the same way. You see a
psychiatrist or therapist and if you try to
8
00:00:43.049 --> 00:00:46.729
tell them about your prior history,
like Oh, this doctor said I had
9
00:00:46.810 --> 00:00:49.530
this or that, they don't want
to hear that. They're just like,
10
00:00:49.649 --> 00:00:53.079
oh well, let's just fix how
you feel, like how do you want
11
00:00:53.119 --> 00:00:55.600
to feel and what do you want
to be doing in life? Let's focus
12
00:00:55.679 --> 00:00:59.880
on that. We don't really care
about the label. So kind of based
13
00:00:59.920 --> 00:01:03.280
on that, I'm just changed the
name of the stove show from bipolar style
14
00:01:03.390 --> 00:01:08.069
to just emotions, like John Emotions. So that's actually what brings us to
15
00:01:08.349 --> 00:01:12.629
today, which is super cool.
One of my favorite podcasts I've ever done
16
00:01:14.310 --> 00:01:19.260
in my entire history of podcasting is
this one. So this is the first
17
00:01:19.340 --> 00:01:23.739
one that both of my sons are
actually here in the studio. They are
18
00:01:23.819 --> 00:01:27.659
taking part part of Project Louisiana with
me and if you've been listening to the
19
00:01:27.739 --> 00:01:30.780
show for a while, you know
I've been kind of a vagabond, drifting
20
00:01:30.819 --> 00:01:38.209
from interesting project one to the next. And so we're starting a mood garden
21
00:01:38.849 --> 00:01:42.329
and it's going to be for people
with mood and memory disorders. Should be
22
00:01:42.409 --> 00:01:48.239
awesome. So my sons are here
with me and it turns out they're into
23
00:01:48.280 --> 00:01:51.959
shit like this, to podcasting and
whatnot. So I guess in a way,
24
00:01:52.799 --> 00:01:57.359
if I were John Emotions, these
two I'm about to introduce would be
25
00:01:57.159 --> 00:02:04.390
nick emotions and Jack Emotions. It's
the emotions this. So what's up to
26
00:02:04.549 --> 00:02:07.870
it? It's great to have you
and thanks for partaking. I think the
27
00:02:07.989 --> 00:02:15.150
listener will enjoy here and multilayered family
approach to podcasting. So Nick and Jack
28
00:02:15.189 --> 00:02:21.219
and I were over at the local
like hamburger diner place called rocket drive in,
29
00:02:21.860 --> 00:02:27.379
rocket drive through and getting some Burgers, some shakes and whatnot, and
30
00:02:27.539 --> 00:02:30.210
there were some otherwise normal looking folks
in front of us right jeans and t
31
00:02:30.330 --> 00:02:36.250
shirts, straight up could until they're
from the country. Let's they open their
32
00:02:36.289 --> 00:02:39.330
mouths. Yeah, and apparently we're
doing it kind of right because they look
33
00:02:39.370 --> 00:02:45.039
at us like yell from around here, you know what's good, like asking
34
00:02:45.199 --> 00:02:47.759
is what's good on the menu,
and straight I mean we just kind of
35
00:02:47.840 --> 00:02:51.479
like go for the burghers and shakes
anywhere. So we're like, Oh,
36
00:02:51.599 --> 00:02:57.879
no, we're from California, you
are stanish. I know right. And
37
00:02:58.909 --> 00:03:02.069
you had little Chit Chat with the
Fellas and it was like kind of father
38
00:03:02.229 --> 00:03:07.990
and son looking crew, or maybe
just taller guys and shorter guys or something,
39
00:03:08.270 --> 00:03:13.259
but they were, you know,
getting their food ahead of us.
40
00:03:13.259 --> 00:03:15.539
But yeah, the way for a
minute. So you kind of stuck there
41
00:03:15.699 --> 00:03:21.539
in small chat and small talk hit
chat and one thing led to the next.
42
00:03:21.780 --> 00:03:23.900
Then they're saying, what do y'all
doing tonight? And we had considered
43
00:03:23.979 --> 00:03:29.449
going to a theater down the street
to a stand up comic, but instead
44
00:03:29.689 --> 00:03:34.129
they said, well, we're going
to the RODEO. Like fuck, so
45
00:03:34.250 --> 00:03:38.449
Rodeo. So the first night nick
and Jack got here, we straight up
46
00:03:38.449 --> 00:03:44.280
went down to the Rodeo, the
Jannings Rodeo, part of the Cajun Rodeo
47
00:03:44.439 --> 00:03:49.280
series, and hole shit, it
was something else which think of that.
48
00:03:49.919 --> 00:03:53.080
I was more like it was more
than it was more funny to me,
49
00:03:53.240 --> 00:03:57.069
but I feel like people would get
hot, getting mad because of like guess
50
00:03:57.150 --> 00:04:00.469
like it's like tortured animals and stuff, but it's like yeah, but it's
51
00:04:00.509 --> 00:04:04.629
just funny that they get into that
kind of thing. It's just funny,
52
00:04:04.710 --> 00:04:08.870
like, I don't know, funny
as the right word. Maybe. Yeah,
53
00:04:08.870 --> 00:04:12.180
I thought it was funny for sure, especially the part where I was
54
00:04:12.340 --> 00:04:17.459
pretty sure it was both animal abuse
and child abuse. Head Shit was funny
55
00:04:17.939 --> 00:04:21.459
where I because they had this thing
where, okay, if they have normal
56
00:04:21.779 --> 00:04:27.050
cowboy shit, where it's like a
guy on a horse chasing a little baby
57
00:04:27.129 --> 00:04:30.170
cow and they rope it by the
neck, jump off the horse, jump
58
00:04:30.250 --> 00:04:32.810
down, throw the cow on its
back and rope up three of its legs
59
00:04:32.850 --> 00:04:36.250
so it can't get up for like
thirty seconds or something. I couldn't remember,
60
00:04:36.250 --> 00:04:43.439
sixteen or sixty, whatever it was. Anyway, the that's normal.
61
00:04:43.720 --> 00:04:46.040
And then they had the other part
where the fucking guy, like a cowboys,
62
00:04:46.199 --> 00:04:48.879
just jump out of the shoot with
the medium sized cow that kind of
63
00:04:48.920 --> 00:04:53.389
has horns and they got to wrestle
that to the ground. That was cool.
64
00:04:53.870 --> 00:04:56.750
And then they had something that was
amazing that I don't think I'd ever
65
00:04:56.910 --> 00:05:02.029
seen at a Rodeo in California,
and that is well, they put little
66
00:05:02.069 --> 00:05:06.540
kids on the backs of sheep and
let the sheep run out of the shoe
67
00:05:08.139 --> 00:05:14.699
like a Goddamn Bull. So that
was amazing. And they had like some
68
00:05:14.899 --> 00:05:17.740
older kids, you know, but
mostly it was little kids and some of
69
00:05:17.779 --> 00:05:20.970
them were wearing helmets, other ones
that should have been had helmets on did
70
00:05:21.089 --> 00:05:26.649
not. And the one thing that
just struck me his nuts was there is
71
00:05:26.689 --> 00:05:31.490
a little baby strapped to like a
backboard, like you'd put a injured patient
72
00:05:31.529 --> 00:05:36.079
from the street into an ambulance on
something like that. A little baby version
73
00:05:36.360 --> 00:05:41.279
up, the baby strapped to its
head and they're haild on my fucking handle.
74
00:05:41.879 --> 00:05:45.959
If this they fucking just the clown
ran with this poor baby bounce along
75
00:05:46.000 --> 00:05:48.920
the back of a sheep and I
was just straps of a fucking of a
76
00:05:49.029 --> 00:05:55.149
parachute without the parashuet's like a big
ass harness. There's like a gym bag
77
00:05:55.269 --> 00:06:00.350
handle or totally that. That was
maniacal. I'm like, Yep, that's
78
00:06:00.389 --> 00:06:04.980
pretty much like. Well, I
was like that's definitely child abuse and that's,
79
00:06:05.339 --> 00:06:09.579
Hmm, animal abuse, like what? But then I'm like, well,
80
00:06:09.980 --> 00:06:14.740
they must be doing this for generations, and that because the people just
81
00:06:14.860 --> 00:06:16.699
hop right on top of a horse
like it. Oh, I'm fifteen.
82
00:06:16.699 --> 00:06:18.970
Yeah, hopping on top of a
horse sounds fine. You Get up there,
83
00:06:18.970 --> 00:06:21.769
it's hell scary. But Man,
if you've been jumping on since the
84
00:06:21.889 --> 00:06:26.250
infancy, jumping on the backs of
things and trying to ride them, I
85
00:06:26.370 --> 00:06:30.209
guess being a cowboy pretty easy.
It's like the transition the manhood. It's
86
00:06:30.250 --> 00:06:33.439
like they they're King Sinheria. Yeah, at whatever age that that one thing
87
00:06:33.560 --> 00:06:36.000
was not even a year old on
the back of that sheep. That was
88
00:06:36.199 --> 00:06:43.519
nuts and bottle around, probably well
plus end. Like the listeners to the
89
00:06:43.560 --> 00:06:48.709
show know that I'm like apeist.
It was super, super religiously, they'd
90
00:06:48.790 --> 00:06:53.870
like. At one point we felt
like we were in a vice documentary where
91
00:06:53.910 --> 00:06:57.629
it's like you expect some crazy shit
to happen. It felt kind of cult
92
00:06:57.790 --> 00:07:00.899
like, and I don't know if
you've ever taken acid, but when you
93
00:07:00.980 --> 00:07:05.060
take acid you like everything is so
predictable, every people and the way they
94
00:07:05.100 --> 00:07:09.620
act, because you just hyper aware
of Shit, and we are pretty big.
95
00:07:10.740 --> 00:07:14.379
So fucking people were coming up in
the in the stands and I think
96
00:07:14.540 --> 00:07:17.889
everybody knew each other and by that
standard I think we stood out because I
97
00:07:17.930 --> 00:07:21.129
saw people like moms and shit standing
at the base of the stairs is kind
98
00:07:21.129 --> 00:07:24.290
of looking up like who they knew? So who could they wave to?
99
00:07:25.009 --> 00:07:30.399
Because they got blessed America and that
fucking alarm. So yeah, it felt
100
00:07:30.480 --> 00:07:35.399
kind of weird in that sense.
And Yeah, it's pretty enjoyable though.
101
00:07:35.399 --> 00:07:40.800
I do it. Yeah, that's
there on the first day to the most
102
00:07:41.600 --> 00:07:44.470
surreal and a thing you can think
of. Yeah, and they kept like
103
00:07:44.589 --> 00:07:47.430
waving the flag and like well,
give a big round off of flaws for
104
00:07:47.589 --> 00:07:55.389
your Louisiana cowboys. It's like,
but they got football here too. It
105
00:07:55.550 --> 00:07:58.430
is weird. Yeah, for sure. For sure. Wonder what's bigger,
106
00:07:59.540 --> 00:08:01.259
like what's I don't know. I
bet it split too, because you kind
107
00:08:01.259 --> 00:08:03.459
of have to pick one, don't
you think? Or could you have time
108
00:08:03.579 --> 00:08:05.899
to do too? I don't know. I don't know if the seasons overlap
109
00:08:05.939 --> 00:08:11.579
or not. I think fuck the
far or the Rodeo. Shit's probably more
110
00:08:11.660 --> 00:08:15.250
family brought down, I feel like, more than the football. It's probably
111
00:08:15.290 --> 00:08:18.250
just see some online. Yeah,
because you, and if you do Rodeo,
112
00:08:18.290 --> 00:08:22.370
Kinda have to have access to horses. Yeah, either through a way
113
00:08:22.410 --> 00:08:26.089
a farm, at the family farm
and should yeah, like either through property
114
00:08:26.199 --> 00:08:31.480
or through just money to ransom whatever. Yeah, that's so that was pretty
115
00:08:31.480 --> 00:08:35.600
interesting. And there's IT's Mardi gras
time too, so we'll probably find some
116
00:08:35.720 --> 00:08:39.759
cool Mardi gras place to go to
and check out that weirdness. So there's
117
00:08:39.759 --> 00:08:45.870
a topic I was going to have
on the PODCASTS and it's great here because
118
00:08:45.909 --> 00:08:50.029
now you guys can help me Hash
it out. So okay, so you
119
00:08:50.110 --> 00:08:54.830
know how everything gets binary and hashed
out to either or black or white,
120
00:08:54.350 --> 00:09:00.299
red state, Blue State, Republican
Democrat, I mean fucking up down night
121
00:09:00.460 --> 00:09:03.340
and day, ones and Zeros.
It's all two choices. But it seems
122
00:09:03.379 --> 00:09:07.460
so artificial, like we live.
We live in a great spectrum. So
123
00:09:07.539 --> 00:09:11.330
why are we just getting down?
There is all the gray space in between
124
00:09:11.409 --> 00:09:13.250
the yeah, and I think in
that space is color, to you know
125
00:09:13.330 --> 00:09:16.289
what I mean, like that's where
all the powers in there for sure.
126
00:09:18.210 --> 00:09:20.970
And why do people act and think
the way they do? And I started
127
00:09:22.049 --> 00:09:24.919
thinking because I'm hyper right. I
always want to get out and fucking do
128
00:09:24.120 --> 00:09:28.320
things, like how can people want
to just sit? And then I also
129
00:09:28.440 --> 00:09:31.919
realize I have this knee jerk reaction
against holidays, and I'm like why is
130
00:09:33.039 --> 00:09:35.600
that? I'm like, holidays never
hated on me or hurt my feelings or
131
00:09:35.639 --> 00:09:39.230
anything. And then I realized the
older I get, the less I like
132
00:09:39.470 --> 00:09:43.710
them. The reason, I think, comes down to these two concepts.
133
00:09:43.750 --> 00:09:48.909
One's called NEOPHOBIA and the other is
neophilia. So neophobia, neo means new,
134
00:09:50.830 --> 00:09:54.500
and phobia means fear. So neophobia
is fear, fear of the new.
135
00:09:56.379 --> 00:10:01.860
And then Neophilia is basically a passion
for novelty, like a craving love
136
00:10:01.899 --> 00:10:03.940
of novelty, things, of love
of the new, so to speak.
137
00:10:03.940 --> 00:10:09.450
But what is in that sense?
The new researchers are saying it's novelty,
138
00:10:09.490 --> 00:10:13.210
it's things you have not experienced.
Yeah, so, like God, that's
139
00:10:13.250 --> 00:10:18.490
it, because as a person with
like Adhd, I'm always craving the novelty.
140
00:10:20.009 --> 00:10:22.320
I got to have new. I'm
even in school when I was a
141
00:10:22.360 --> 00:10:24.360
kid, I'm like, why are
we learning about stuff already people already know
142
00:10:26.399 --> 00:10:28.200
you know, I mean like if
they already know it and they already wrote
143
00:10:28.200 --> 00:10:33.399
a book about it, why are
we? Why are we studying it?
144
00:10:33.799 --> 00:10:37.149
Who Cares? Like, can we
go learn new shit? And even like
145
00:10:37.269 --> 00:10:39.950
an as adult, I'm spas.
I'm always like, can we move on
146
00:10:39.990 --> 00:10:43.909
to the next idea? Can't we
come on? This next thing is gone.
147
00:10:43.309 --> 00:10:46.110
So like God, that that's bothersome
and it's also the tradition, but
148
00:10:46.190 --> 00:10:50.940
it's so. I looked into it, man, and that's like part of
149
00:10:50.980 --> 00:10:56.899
the political divide is conservatives, traditional
conservatives. They really just want to maintain
150
00:10:56.980 --> 00:11:03.100
the status quot same old thing.
You know, have offices, beoffice workers,
151
00:11:03.139 --> 00:11:05.929
the man and his place, the
woman in her place, you know,
152
00:11:07.090 --> 00:11:09.809
shopping malls, pay your taxes,
get a fat refund, going a
153
00:11:09.850 --> 00:11:15.210
little vacation by a house college student. Yeah, all that as worker.
154
00:11:15.450 --> 00:11:18.559
Yeah, the whole it's super cliche. There's just a model, but the
155
00:11:18.639 --> 00:11:26.120
models not very effective nowadays and modern
times. So I think it's important that
156
00:11:26.120 --> 00:11:31.200
which explored different ways of thinking about
so the one idea is like, AH,
157
00:11:31.720 --> 00:11:33.789
well, some of us are spazzy, some of us do like tradition.
158
00:11:37.309 --> 00:11:39.590
What it can't. What came down
to is like people who like tradition
159
00:11:39.629 --> 00:11:45.269
aren't evil inherently. I just now. Now, I just see it as
160
00:11:46.750 --> 00:11:50.259
like the hallmark holidays. Every every
holidays a hallmark holiday. It seems like,
161
00:11:50.379 --> 00:11:56.820
you know, so created like crafted
purposefully for capitalism, for commercial griefs,
162
00:11:56.980 --> 00:12:01.889
or just gain over in costume,
Halloween decor like, who needs Halloween
163
00:12:01.009 --> 00:12:05.570
decorations? Or are in yeah,
no, for sure. Let and Christmas
164
00:12:05.649 --> 00:12:11.490
decorated. Who needs Thanksgiving decorations?
I thought it'd AH. Of these are
165
00:12:11.529 --> 00:12:13.970
the questions outs of yeah, well, for sure, and that's, I
166
00:12:15.049 --> 00:12:18.960
think, the read that that is
why people who crave tradition and things not
167
00:12:18.200 --> 00:12:22.440
changing, those are the people.
But to us, we think so.
168
00:12:22.759 --> 00:12:26.759
We think so. Those are the
Fobes, the NEOPHOBES. They are like
169
00:12:26.919 --> 00:12:31.429
no, that's not it's traditional,
we have to do this this way,
170
00:12:31.590 --> 00:12:33.429
this is the Turkey, this is
the way we've always done things. Then
171
00:12:33.470 --> 00:12:37.669
that's kind of a popular catch phrase
with Neophobes, like that's the way we've
172
00:12:37.710 --> 00:12:41.789
always done it. But I think
in what's really interesting was I found out
173
00:12:41.830 --> 00:12:48.620
that some tribes, some cultures and
civilizations are more neophiliacs, more neophilic,
174
00:12:48.659 --> 00:12:52.379
I guess it would be the word. They're more into the new, craving
175
00:12:52.460 --> 00:12:58.730
things because they've had no homeland.
They've been pushed around the earth through either
176
00:12:58.809 --> 00:13:01.409
slavery or dispores, just be pushed
out of their homeland. So I wonder
177
00:13:01.570 --> 00:13:07.169
in some ways if us being so
connected to the chickasaw tribe, that those
178
00:13:07.250 --> 00:13:11.730
people would just continually push so and
their DNA. It starts to become beneficial
179
00:13:11.879 --> 00:13:16.480
to adapt to the new. So
now we're like wired to like, yeah,
180
00:13:16.480 --> 00:13:18.960
we like new shit. That's how
we thrive, right, we thrive
181
00:13:20.039 --> 00:13:24.639
for that, and others they benefit
from staying still. So that's why I'm
182
00:13:24.639 --> 00:13:28.389
like, Oh, it's not really
a political argument. We've just two different
183
00:13:28.429 --> 00:13:31.350
types of people, two types of
brain thinking. Yeah, and I think
184
00:13:31.389 --> 00:13:37.029
the world needs both Neophilias and neo
folks, because tradition is fine. It
185
00:13:37.149 --> 00:13:41.500
adds stability to the structure of humanity, kind of. But without neophiliacs craving
186
00:13:41.580 --> 00:13:45.940
new shit all the time, there
would be no new inventions. We wouldn't
187
00:13:45.940 --> 00:13:48.460
have gone to the moon. Will
strive to new yeah, because I used
188
00:13:48.460 --> 00:13:52.419
to think man striving seems like it's
a crime. But why? Why does
189
00:13:52.460 --> 00:13:58.529
it feel that way? And it's
because the stuff they have to use for
190
00:13:58.610 --> 00:14:03.049
the new inventions. Yeah, because
you kind of do have to adapt and
191
00:14:03.169 --> 00:14:07.690
live with modernists to like achieve in
modern times. I guess is that was
192
00:14:07.769 --> 00:14:11.240
just saying that just I mean all
the resources that you need. Yeah,
193
00:14:11.440 --> 00:14:16.120
that's true, for sure, just
getting used to so many new, different
194
00:14:16.200 --> 00:14:20.759
types of new things, like the
new advances, and well, yeah,
195
00:14:20.840 --> 00:14:26.950
and we're going to like, not
really, but the spurlock where they're like,
196
00:14:26.110 --> 00:14:30.870
Oh, you need to you the
on your new contract. We're going
197
00:14:30.870 --> 00:14:35.149
to force you to upgrade for a
little tiny fan, all right, for
198
00:14:35.230 --> 00:14:37.549
a new fan when you don't need
and shit like that. That's Oh yeah,
199
00:14:37.580 --> 00:14:41.779
they locked you into perpetual updates.
Yeah, whether it's hardware or software,
200
00:14:43.220 --> 00:14:46.299
and it's almost that way with humans. But again, then I'm like
201
00:14:46.059 --> 00:14:50.740
that doesn't work on people who don't
want to change. So I'm like,
202
00:14:50.860 --> 00:14:54.610
Oh, we need to rethink society
in general and just acknowledge that there are
203
00:14:54.610 --> 00:15:00.009
some people who crave change and should
be allowed to be strivers, left alone
204
00:15:01.049 --> 00:15:03.490
to strive at all costs, and
then other people who like tradition should be
205
00:15:03.570 --> 00:15:09.720
able to celebrate those traditions without getting
in fights with each other about politics or
206
00:15:09.759 --> 00:15:11.799
who they're going to vote for.
WHO gives a fuck who people going to
207
00:15:11.840 --> 00:15:15.120
vote for? Just vote for your
person, but don't vote for a person
208
00:15:15.200 --> 00:15:18.320
because you need to make your opinion
known. It's like they give you the
209
00:15:18.399 --> 00:15:20.990
option that it's the whole purposes to
go into a silent little room and keep
210
00:15:22.029 --> 00:15:24.110
it private. Why do you have
the voice her? You will like.
211
00:15:24.830 --> 00:15:28.029
It's why I have to be so
predicted, predictable to know you're going to
212
00:15:28.070 --> 00:15:33.149
vote for. Yeah, totally Hashtag. Shut up and vote. That's first
213
00:15:33.230 --> 00:15:37.620
first things first. Shut up.
Yes, a second thing, vote.
214
00:15:39.179 --> 00:15:43.419
Shut up and vote in that order, please. But again, that's me.
215
00:15:43.500 --> 00:15:45.940
I'm like, that's the new way
of doing things, just shut up
216
00:15:45.980 --> 00:15:48.419
and vote. But I'm like,
wait, I'm actually a traditionalist. That's
217
00:15:48.460 --> 00:15:50.250
the way we used to you never
talked about who you're going to vote for.
218
00:15:50.289 --> 00:15:54.129
It was a secret. It was
like it's private, like I'm not
219
00:15:54.210 --> 00:15:58.450
telling you. And but there was
also pre Internet. Now everybody wants to
220
00:15:58.490 --> 00:16:02.809
discuss the INS and out of every
fucking character flaw of everybody running for office,
221
00:16:02.889 --> 00:16:06.320
and nobody's perfect enough. And meanwhile
one sides like, well, we
222
00:16:06.480 --> 00:16:10.559
just put a clown in and they're
like okay, director. So it's so
223
00:16:10.879 --> 00:16:15.639
weird and they call that conservative.
So those are the traditionalist those are the
224
00:16:15.720 --> 00:16:18.710
NEOPHOBES. That's what it like.
Oh, New People, now we don't
225
00:16:18.750 --> 00:16:21.389
want to know Mexicans are. They're
new. We I mean we're afraid of
226
00:16:21.470 --> 00:16:25.070
the outsiders. That's a Neophobe,
somebody who's afraid of the outsider. That
227
00:16:25.350 --> 00:16:29.509
fear of the outsider is really a
fear of the new. So what he
228
00:16:29.590 --> 00:16:33.299
calls xenophobics, they're really neophobes at
heart. They're afraid of anything new.
229
00:16:33.860 --> 00:16:37.379
So we're kind of threatening their existence
by all this progress, like hey,
230
00:16:37.899 --> 00:16:41.899
we're going to let transgender people just
be normal, and they're like what,
231
00:16:41.620 --> 00:16:45.620
that's insane. But you know,
it's just a matter of our brains,
232
00:16:45.740 --> 00:16:49.529
like neophiliax were like progress, N, cool, interesting, weird, go
233
00:16:49.730 --> 00:16:53.049
for it, that's awesome. Do
that. And meanwhile half the folks were
234
00:16:53.090 --> 00:17:00.450
like what we gotten? Did like
like the Vince Neil he keep on rock
235
00:17:00.570 --> 00:17:07.680
and shove the double and been do. We'll just fucking if you hit them
236
00:17:07.759 --> 00:17:10.640
with the facts, they'll just lock
up. I know, I don't know
237
00:17:10.799 --> 00:17:15.400
to do well, especially if the
facts are counter to what they've been programmed
238
00:17:15.440 --> 00:17:18.069
to think is real, because they
could people. Most people could acknowledge facts
239
00:17:18.069 --> 00:17:22.549
when you show them the facts.
Like look, the sun rises in the
240
00:17:22.670 --> 00:17:26.109
east and goes across the West,
and here's a compass that shows you that's
241
00:17:26.190 --> 00:17:29.589
east and that's Wester, like,
nope, what I was time flat.
242
00:17:29.670 --> 00:17:33.259
It's rises in the bottom and goes
to the top. Your your phraseology is
243
00:17:33.299 --> 00:17:41.220
all wrong. Yeah, like Vince
said, bird dude this. So I
244
00:17:41.339 --> 00:17:48.210
think. I think mostly our families
all about neophilia. Neophiliacs. Yeah,
245
00:17:48.250 --> 00:17:52.450
we're like love the new, the
novelty at all costs, although like your
246
00:17:52.490 --> 00:17:56.089
grandma's my mom and your mom's mom, they're kind of traditionalist. They like
247
00:17:56.210 --> 00:18:02.759
having their little parties on Easter or
Christmas, earls or Helen. Neo phobic.
248
00:18:03.000 --> 00:18:04.839
They just like that. They're like
now, that's just just the way
249
00:18:04.880 --> 00:18:11.279
we think, that's no need to
change blood and that's way we do it.
250
00:18:11.640 --> 00:18:18.029
Or had see my dad, my
dad's and NEOPHILIAC, acrophobic, somewhere
251
00:18:18.029 --> 00:18:21.230
in between. Ike's kind of balanced
in that realm. Well, when we
252
00:18:21.390 --> 00:18:25.509
talk to him, he use you
try to make it seem like he knew
253
00:18:25.549 --> 00:18:26.460
his place in the world. He's
like, I know, I'm just a
254
00:18:26.539 --> 00:18:30.940
retired old man that just said has
it kind of good and old folks home
255
00:18:30.019 --> 00:18:37.140
and I kind of just get the
mope around smoke pot watch that shows that
256
00:18:37.339 --> 00:18:47.769
sounds like some shit you'd say straight
you just see him walking around his old
257
00:18:47.849 --> 00:18:52.890
folks home all day every day,
rest turned towards like forward. Yeah,
258
00:18:56.240 --> 00:19:00.559
like this. It's like an off
blue aged pole, not a polo,
259
00:19:00.680 --> 00:19:03.880
but an you know, the opened
up button, sure, with his chest
260
00:19:03.920 --> 00:19:10.829
hair coming out like a golf shirt. Oh Yeah, same pipe to that
261
00:19:10.990 --> 00:19:15.829
old woody'll have that till this casket. My Dad's an old hippie from California
262
00:19:15.869 --> 00:19:22.190
and he smokes out of a wood
pipe. Yeah, there's technology nowadays that
263
00:19:22.990 --> 00:19:26.779
he has. He tried the volcano
bag, I think maybe once they's not.
264
00:19:27.140 --> 00:19:33.579
But how can you guys do that
Shit? Resisting change? That's just
265
00:19:36.180 --> 00:19:38.890
yeah, I get no, seriously, probably is really speaking of volcano bag.
266
00:19:40.289 --> 00:19:44.529
Yeah, was one calling your dame
over there. Yeah, we'll hook
267
00:19:44.569 --> 00:19:45.690
that up in just a second because, you know what, the bag is
268
00:19:45.730 --> 00:19:49.490
way too crispy on the mic's I
think Jack is on volcano duty. Maybe
269
00:19:51.049 --> 00:19:53.000
is on the pick up from over
here. Maybe, I don't know.
270
00:19:53.160 --> 00:19:56.599
We've gotten long enough. I think
you know, because if it goes more
271
00:19:56.640 --> 00:20:03.279
than twenty two minutes, the listenership
just drops to the bottom. That's right,
272
00:20:03.319 --> 00:20:11.910
I get Meta, those monetizations,
monetization, monetization, Monterail. We
273
00:20:12.069 --> 00:20:18.990
need just healthy thoughts, that's it, healthy thoughts. So anyway, thanks
274
00:20:18.029 --> 00:20:25.420
for sharing your thoughts about neophobia versus
Neophilia, and maybe next time I'll will
275
00:20:25.460 --> 00:20:29.099
fill. I'll feel listen like I'm
being interviewed. It's the first time he's
276
00:20:29.140 --> 00:20:33.420
ever been on a podcast Mike live
like this. Don't really know how to
277
00:20:33.500 --> 00:20:38.210
think, because it's not actually like
because you're it seems like are talking to
278
00:20:38.289 --> 00:20:41.609
an audience. Yeah, I know
what I'm sitting here just looking at you
279
00:20:41.849 --> 00:20:45.569
and listen to what you're saying.
And when Jack, I just feel like
280
00:20:45.609 --> 00:20:48.049
we're in the room together having a
conversation. Yeah, that's Yep, you
281
00:20:48.089 --> 00:20:51.920
got to jump in for sure,
because it's like, well, I know
282
00:20:52.039 --> 00:20:56.359
what the listener expects to hear,
so there's like a consistency thing either way.
283
00:20:56.680 --> 00:21:02.119
But they also know I have kids. So you talking and just jumping
284
00:21:02.160 --> 00:21:03.589
in whatever, because I always break
the fourth wall. Anyway. I talk
285
00:21:03.589 --> 00:21:07.630
about using podcast and fucking hey,
listen to my new sound effects I made
286
00:21:07.670 --> 00:21:11.309
and shit like that, and then
you make it kind of nasal. Yes,
287
00:21:12.470 --> 00:21:18.470
so that's part of the thing.
So what we're doing is starting some
288
00:21:18.579 --> 00:21:21.500
gardening stuff, because all of us
kind of want to get into gardening,
289
00:21:22.019 --> 00:21:25.700
but nick wants to get into voiceover
work, so he and I are going
290
00:21:25.740 --> 00:21:33.210
to like scan through Joshua Gordon Levitt's
hit recordcom or dot org or whatever start
291
00:21:33.769 --> 00:21:37.890
doing some voiceover stuff. Should be
fine. I dig it, and Jack's
292
00:21:37.890 --> 00:21:41.210
going to plant a garden and kick
somebody's ass in a video game. We're
293
00:21:41.250 --> 00:21:45.690
going to film it shortly. So
anyway, yeah, thanks, are pretty
294
00:21:45.690 --> 00:21:48.839
cool and I'm glad you listen.
So anything you want to share with this
295
00:21:49.039 --> 00:21:57.319
person here and with us, shall
