WEBVTT 1 00:00:05.240 --> 00:00:10.710 Welcome back to bipolar style, the podcast for bipolar people and those who love 2 00:00:10.869 --> 00:00:17.469 them. Join US online at bipolar stylecom and now use your host, Johnny 3 00:00:17.469 --> 00:00:22.899 emotion. Hey, thanks, Jules, and thank you for tuning in to 4 00:00:23.379 --> 00:00:27.699 the bipolar style podcast. I'm your host, Johnny emotions, like she said, 5 00:00:28.420 --> 00:00:31.100 and this episode is cool. This is the first time I get to 6 00:00:31.339 --> 00:00:36.170 interview somebody testing out the audio. I had one of my closest friends from 7 00:00:36.250 --> 00:00:41.689 Louisiana call in and we're going to have a conversation. If this first conversation 8 00:00:41.890 --> 00:00:46.850 is a lot about how we're building the PODCAST and establishing social media channels and 9 00:00:46.969 --> 00:00:52.159 things like that. So I hope you enjoy it and I'm glad she is 10 00:00:52.280 --> 00:00:57.039 a woman because it gives the audio a little more contrast and I look forward 11 00:00:57.039 --> 00:01:00.759 to having more guests in the future. So I think you probably like this 12 00:01:00.920 --> 00:01:04.670 one, one of the best episode so far. So enjoy and follow US 13 00:01:04.670 --> 00:01:12.069 along on the Internet's twitter at Bipolar Style and on the web bipolar stylecom. 14 00:01:12.670 --> 00:01:19.340 Cool. Take a listen. If it's recording, okay, it's recording and 15 00:01:19.659 --> 00:01:23.340 I don't edit. The only thing I edit is yes, you do. 16 00:01:23.659 --> 00:01:27.980 I edit out that when I go because it's super loud and when I watch 17 00:01:29.019 --> 00:01:33.329 it go by in the editing software is this giant peak that covers the whole 18 00:01:33.769 --> 00:01:38.450 spectrum. I have never even noticed you doing that, because I add that 19 00:01:38.609 --> 00:01:42.489 out. I don't edit anything else. I cut out a big Joh yeah, 20 00:01:42.489 --> 00:01:48.040 because in real life it's it's not. They're like a chipmunk. So, 21 00:01:48.599 --> 00:01:53.640 Fiona, it is. That's okay, like from Shrek, isn't? 22 00:01:53.840 --> 00:01:59.280 The princess and an ogre? At the end she turned out to be an 23 00:01:59.359 --> 00:02:05.189 ogre princess. That's cool, and it's also similar to the name of your 24 00:02:05.230 --> 00:02:12.990 cat. Philon zone is Philanzonia. Yeah, okay, cool. So I 25 00:02:13.430 --> 00:02:15.979 will start and we'll so we'll assume the music and the intro just happens, 26 00:02:16.139 --> 00:02:21.500 but I actually might just jump in like an edit something and say, Hey, 27 00:02:21.620 --> 00:02:23.860 okay, I was talking about Blah Blah Blah, putting together podcast and 28 00:02:24.020 --> 00:02:29.099 my good friend Fiona decided that she'd come on and talk to me about it 29 00:02:29.259 --> 00:02:31.250 on the air. So here's that phone conversation. It might be something like 30 00:02:31.330 --> 00:02:32.930 that. You know, I might have like a set up. Yeah, 31 00:02:32.969 --> 00:02:36.969 so it doesn't matter how we start. Honestly, could just faded up and 32 00:02:37.210 --> 00:02:40.490 all of a sudden we're talking. Okay, so, Hey, what's up, 33 00:02:40.569 --> 00:02:46.800 Fiona Hoddy? Thanks for taking my call. Well, you're so welcome. 34 00:02:47.479 --> 00:02:53.639 Here's my thought. So, okay, Fiona isn't is Fiona's real name 35 00:02:53.719 --> 00:02:58.360 either. It's like, you know, the stigma is real, but I 36 00:02:58.560 --> 00:03:01.789 we just want private lives. But here's the thing. I think more podcast 37 00:03:01.909 --> 00:03:07.949 like these need female voices and people of colors voices, especially that, because 38 00:03:07.949 --> 00:03:14.139 I noticed in most of the online mental health warrior type people hashtags, there's 39 00:03:14.659 --> 00:03:16.099 less that I'm just not looking in the right places. I don't see that 40 00:03:16.099 --> 00:03:20.740 many people of color compared to how many white people are out there shaking their 41 00:03:20.819 --> 00:03:24.340 flags. That's a really, really good point. I can think of a 42 00:03:24.460 --> 00:03:29.129 couple that I know that might be willing home on. This is the thing 43 00:03:29.409 --> 00:03:32.650 we have to you have to get a new twitter account for Fiona so that, 44 00:03:32.810 --> 00:03:37.849 yeah, people that hear your voice here will know that they can follow 45 00:03:37.849 --> 00:03:40.009 you, because maybe they don't want to follow a dude or dudes voice, 46 00:03:40.439 --> 00:03:46.000 but maybe they feel more comfortable following a woman. Yeah, that's a good 47 00:03:46.080 --> 00:03:49.439 call. I'll do that. Cool. So, yeah, people of Color 48 00:03:49.560 --> 00:03:53.759 and women probably, I would imagine, have more. Stop me if I'm 49 00:03:53.759 --> 00:03:59.469 stereotyping, but they might have more mental health issues just from the oppression of 50 00:03:59.590 --> 00:04:02.229 society than a white man. But I'm not a doctor, so I don't 51 00:04:02.229 --> 00:04:11.780 know about that. Seems I seemed possible say oppressed groups would be under more 52 00:04:11.939 --> 00:04:18.060 stress. So if you have an issue where you don't respond to stress well 53 00:04:19.180 --> 00:04:24.649 and you also happen to be under more stress because you're outside, yeah, 54 00:04:24.649 --> 00:04:29.129 you're an oppressed class for sure. Right, cool. So I'm only sort 55 00:04:29.170 --> 00:04:31.410 of talking, I guess, only talking out of my but a little bit. 56 00:04:32.170 --> 00:04:34.769 It's good that here, because I talked of my out of my ass 57 00:04:34.810 --> 00:04:41.000 a lot when I'm by myself all alone, talking here some yeah, because 58 00:04:41.040 --> 00:04:43.639 I get off on these rants. I make my little notes in my Google 59 00:04:43.680 --> 00:04:45.720 keep and I pull up my phone and like, okay, I'm going to 60 00:04:45.759 --> 00:04:48.000 just talk about this one and talk about this one and then I'll then I'm 61 00:04:48.040 --> 00:04:53.949 out, but I'll get on that first topic and then I'll trail off and 62 00:04:54.029 --> 00:04:57.829 I'll hit like the whole talk down thought. Yeahs you want to talk about? 63 00:04:57.829 --> 00:04:59.949 Yeah, because like when I take the train to work or whatever, 64 00:04:59.990 --> 00:05:02.029 I have a few minutes to my head, to myself and I'm like, 65 00:05:02.149 --> 00:05:05.110 Oh, yeah, that's that's dwell, I've been dwelling on that. That 66 00:05:05.189 --> 00:05:09.660 should be an issue for a podcast. So well, yeah, yeah, 67 00:05:09.699 --> 00:05:13.060 I try to keep it organized, but make it a podcast. Is is 68 00:05:13.100 --> 00:05:16.579 a lot of work for regular folks and sometimes I'm like, did I bite 69 00:05:16.620 --> 00:05:18.980 off more than I can chew? But it's kind of fun because I can't 70 00:05:18.980 --> 00:05:23.170 get out to group all the time and I don't have a therapist. Did 71 00:05:23.209 --> 00:05:27.089 you get to go like once a week or something? I can, but 72 00:05:27.449 --> 00:05:30.529 there's the anxiety bit. Oh here's something we could talk about. This is 73 00:05:30.610 --> 00:05:33.410 funny because you would totally relate because you've probably experienced this with me sometimes. 74 00:05:34.050 --> 00:05:39.560 So last Sunday, I think it was Saturday or Sunday, over at a 75 00:05:39.720 --> 00:05:45.439 park in San Francisco, the DBSA, the depression by Polar Support Alliance folks. 76 00:05:45.959 --> 00:05:48.879 We're putting on their their youth group. Anyway, we're putting on a 77 00:05:49.000 --> 00:05:53.670 picnic at Dolores Park. My God, that's going to be fucking cool. 78 00:05:53.670 --> 00:05:55.750 That'd be great. It's going to be a beautiful day in the city. 79 00:05:55.790 --> 00:05:58.670 I'll go over the city and pick up what I need and go to the 80 00:05:58.709 --> 00:06:01.589 park and just hang out with people that can relate sounds great, right. 81 00:06:01.589 --> 00:06:08.899 Yeah, so I get up there and of course it's the youth group. 82 00:06:09.420 --> 00:06:12.740 It's not my people, it's not the people I normally go to, and 83 00:06:13.420 --> 00:06:16.699 they all look cool and pretty sure that that's them right there with the blue 84 00:06:16.740 --> 00:06:23.329 and white balloons, looking around like do I recognize? Kind of recognize one 85 00:06:23.410 --> 00:06:26.850 person, just enough to confirm that, Yep, that's the DBSA group. 86 00:06:27.529 --> 00:06:30.250 And then what kicks in the anxiety? I was like, I don't know, 87 00:06:30.449 --> 00:06:32.959 he's fucking people and like it's still a beautiful day in the park. 88 00:06:33.079 --> 00:06:39.759 So I ended up sitting about fifty feet away from everybody that didn't they didn't 89 00:06:39.800 --> 00:06:44.680 know me and I didn't know them, but I kind of like Perif peripherally, 90 00:06:45.000 --> 00:06:47.629 like vicary's. They enjoyed the party just I'm sitting over here and it 91 00:06:47.709 --> 00:06:50.470 didn't look like they brought a lot of food or or drinks or whatnot. 92 00:06:50.509 --> 00:06:54.189 That my own snacks with me. So I just kind of sat there and 93 00:06:54.230 --> 00:06:58.269 watch that. Okay, there's some bipolar people and I'm a bipolar people and 94 00:06:58.629 --> 00:07:00.069 we're in a park and this kind of counts right. So I took a 95 00:07:00.110 --> 00:07:03.100 picture I haven't posted. I should put it up on fucking twitter, but 96 00:07:03.180 --> 00:07:06.660 I took a picture from my vantage point like a stalker, like there's the 97 00:07:06.740 --> 00:07:12.379 party I toold everybody was going to. I'm not actually there, but there 98 00:07:12.420 --> 00:07:15.170 it is. I made it this far. That you went though, right, 99 00:07:15.250 --> 00:07:17.730 I broke out and I made it and I got as far as I 100 00:07:17.930 --> 00:07:20.970 could. But that social peace at the end where you have to like, 101 00:07:21.370 --> 00:07:25.290 wh hi, I'm a new guy, how are you? I can't fucking 102 00:07:25.329 --> 00:07:28.769 do that today. Well, and you probably could have done it if you'd 103 00:07:28.769 --> 00:07:31.959 recognized more people and if they'd been your age group. Sometimes, yeah, 104 00:07:32.000 --> 00:07:35.680 and sometimes it even takes somebody to recognize me to say, Oh hey, 105 00:07:35.720 --> 00:07:40.439 John, come over and if that doesn't get that, this now, right, 106 00:07:40.519 --> 00:07:43.319 right, like a tractor. Mean, but if that doesn't happen, 107 00:07:43.399 --> 00:07:46.029 I kind of make up every excuse not to him, like a hope. 108 00:07:46.589 --> 00:07:51.269 New People, people. They don't even have chapters of it here. So 109 00:07:51.509 --> 00:07:56.670 hard, you know, like remember my my disgust and trying to find one 110 00:07:56.709 --> 00:07:59.139 in La proper, and then I wanted to start. Oh Yeah, all 111 00:07:59.180 --> 00:08:01.819 that, for sure. Yeah, they had like the one that I did 112 00:08:01.860 --> 00:08:05.300 find was on Broadway in La with the roll up door straight to the sidewalk 113 00:08:05.379 --> 00:08:09.660 and we were trying to have a group with literally people walking three feet away 114 00:08:09.660 --> 00:08:13.889 down downtown Broadway in La. Yeah, that was nuts. The Pasadena one 115 00:08:13.009 --> 00:08:16.649 was cool, but again, it's like if there's not a viable one in 116 00:08:16.730 --> 00:08:20.490 downtown La and you got to go all the way to Pasadena, I could 117 00:08:20.490 --> 00:08:24.689 not imagine for someone in Shreveport, or let alone jennings or someplace like that. 118 00:08:24.930 --> 00:08:28.199 I mean, and you know thousands of other little cities across America. 119 00:08:28.399 --> 00:08:37.000 So I guess I'm Fortun area, Peoria. What's the Illinois with one of 120 00:08:37.039 --> 00:08:43.149 those I states? I. Yeah, and this week sucked on top of 121 00:08:43.230 --> 00:08:48.549 it because of all the shooting. A machine guy, a fucking machine and 122 00:08:48.789 --> 00:08:50.990 what? Yeah, yeah, so bad. Yeah, to have help. 123 00:08:52.909 --> 00:08:58.259 I am persuaded that he had to have help, help and didn't get help. 124 00:08:58.500 --> 00:09:01.059 Yeah, I'm sure it will turn out. They were all the classic 125 00:09:01.220 --> 00:09:05.779 signs metally ill. You don't think so? That begs the question, though, 126 00:09:05.820 --> 00:09:09.700 right, like, I don't know. My mom thinks he was radicalized 127 00:09:09.820 --> 00:09:13.129 in some way. That's that's the conspiracy going around on a lot of the 128 00:09:13.409 --> 00:09:16.490 conservative talk radio. That's the thing I did that I'm in the bay area 129 00:09:16.529 --> 00:09:20.850 because I'm a big liberal, lefty progressive anyway. But during work I get 130 00:09:20.929 --> 00:09:24.000 in the work truck and I turn in far right talk radio. The here 131 00:09:24.039 --> 00:09:28.639 what they're talking about. Yeah, so they're totally pushing conspiracy theories that he 132 00:09:28.720 --> 00:09:33.519 was rattled radicalized by Isis that about that kind of thing? Yeah, yeah, 133 00:09:33.720 --> 00:09:37.840 there's a lot of talk that he's by about Isis, but I also 134 00:09:37.879 --> 00:09:41.789 don't know, like what else it could be. Well, you know me, 135 00:09:41.070 --> 00:09:46.389 I'm the classic conspiracy theorist in that sense where I'm like, well, 136 00:09:46.429 --> 00:09:50.309 I don't see a video of that motherfucker shooting anything. I see a picture 137 00:09:50.309 --> 00:09:52.500 of a guy and I see a picture of some legs in a hotel room 138 00:09:52.740 --> 00:09:56.659 and I see guns and I see you know, fact, fact, fact, 139 00:09:56.779 --> 00:09:58.539 but at none of them add up to that's actually the guy. So 140 00:09:58.580 --> 00:10:01.539 in my mind, like, let's see, the government put a guy in 141 00:10:01.620 --> 00:10:05.779 there to shoot him up. Isis was up there with him and killed him. 142 00:10:05.860 --> 00:10:07.490 Makes Sense, though, why don't? None of it makes sense, 143 00:10:09.009 --> 00:10:11.690 like that's not how any of this works really, right? So Sad. 144 00:10:11.850 --> 00:10:15.690 Yeah, just they haven't come up with a narrative that makes sense yet. 145 00:10:16.370 --> 00:10:20.330 Bad, just bad anyway. So a lot of US woke up to that 146 00:10:20.529 --> 00:10:24.000 on Monday. Mornings like. Yeah, that was one of the most maddic 147 00:10:24.519 --> 00:10:28.559 these hundreds of miles away. That is traumatic. And I didn't know anybody 148 00:10:28.559 --> 00:10:31.360 at the concert. I've never heard of Jason Aldean Song, although I've heard 149 00:10:31.399 --> 00:10:35.750 his name before. Yeah, but we were just there a few months ago, 150 00:10:37.429 --> 00:10:41.110 right, like remember the punk rock bowling we're what if somebody decided to 151 00:10:41.110 --> 00:10:43.909 shoot up a bunch of punk rockers? Exactly? That's the aunts a father 152 00:10:45.110 --> 00:10:48.110 looking for right there. Or ANTIFA, as they say. ANTIFA, what 153 00:10:48.230 --> 00:10:50.580 the fuck, I know. How do you actually say it? Well, 154 00:10:50.659 --> 00:10:54.659 maybe if it's just, if it's a kind, if it's a condensing of 155 00:10:54.740 --> 00:11:00.059 anti fascist, wouldn't be ANTIFA? ANTIFA, ANTIFA and far right right. 156 00:11:00.139 --> 00:11:03.620 It's how I say it, except I know somebody who's like with them and 157 00:11:03.860 --> 00:11:07.210 they say Antifa. Well, they've been watching too much Fox News then. 158 00:11:07.649 --> 00:11:11.129 I don't know. Maybe they were just staying it that way to joke. 159 00:11:11.250 --> 00:11:13.370 Egally say it, I don't know, but it sounds just more like tea 160 00:11:13.490 --> 00:11:18.759 party and TIFA. Yeah, it sounds like completely missing them, pointing and 161 00:11:20.519 --> 00:11:24.919 the whole thing is here's my take on the ANTIFA in general is that people 162 00:11:24.960 --> 00:11:28.200 think it's a group like we must shut them down, like call up their 163 00:11:28.240 --> 00:11:31.039 right headquarters and demand. They're saying you step a sign. Yeah, I'm 164 00:11:31.080 --> 00:11:35.669 like, it's just a spontaneous reaction of normal people to fascism. That's what 165 00:11:35.830 --> 00:11:39.750 that's how I send. Some of those normal people were smart enough to, 166 00:11:39.029 --> 00:11:43.470 you know, bring face coverings right. Yeah, because they got they got 167 00:11:43.549 --> 00:11:48.019 day jobs and they're unaffiliated voters and they just see the rise of fascism as 168 00:11:48.059 --> 00:11:52.460 a bad thing. There was an article just recently about how, even with 169 00:11:52.580 --> 00:11:54.820 your face mostly covered, like even if they can only see your eyes, 170 00:11:54.899 --> 00:11:58.500 they're and going to be able to identify people. Oh yeah, we were 171 00:11:58.539 --> 00:12:03.889 talking about this yesterday. There's gate technology that walks how people, that detects 172 00:12:03.970 --> 00:12:07.370 how? Yeah, for sure, and it's muscular and not muscular but skeletal, 173 00:12:07.690 --> 00:12:11.490 and you cannot change the way skill to some literally like a lift or 174 00:12:11.529 --> 00:12:16.639 some crazy shit. And even then Ai Intel, artificial intelligence, can detect 175 00:12:16.639 --> 00:12:20.600 that you probably did that because now you're the only goofball walking with the goofy 176 00:12:20.679 --> 00:12:24.679 limp and it will sort those limpers out at first and recalculate. So it 177 00:12:24.919 --> 00:12:30.029 is amazing. And they say gate technology is more accurate than your thumb print. 178 00:12:30.909 --> 00:12:35.029 So well that and they are finding people with that's prints that match people 179 00:12:35.029 --> 00:12:37.309 from two different parts of the world who are alive at the same time, 180 00:12:37.429 --> 00:12:41.669 but who's prints throw up as matching in the that's nuts. Right. In 181 00:12:41.750 --> 00:12:45.899 the future I'm going to start walking like a DORC, like monty python or 182 00:12:45.940 --> 00:12:52.580 something. Just Google's really long. I'm wondering how quickly, how soon, 183 00:12:52.700 --> 00:12:58.730 it's going to be before the makeup that right now looks crazy with like white 184 00:12:58.809 --> 00:13:01.090 and black triangles on your face, that kind of stuff. Yeah, but 185 00:13:01.289 --> 00:13:05.889 how long do you think it takes before that becomes in, like that's a 186 00:13:05.009 --> 00:13:09.529 thing that just normal people just put on their makeup like that? Yeah, 187 00:13:09.529 --> 00:13:11.129 yeah, they'll be like the bandaid type stickers, you know, you just 188 00:13:11.370 --> 00:13:15.919 temporary and in all their yeah, plus the the stick the bandage of the 189 00:13:15.960 --> 00:13:18.360 future will of digital technology that will seep into your pores, nanotech, and 190 00:13:20.960 --> 00:13:24.799 that's going to be exciting to future. That's deep future. So okay, 191 00:13:24.039 --> 00:13:26.789 anyway for it. Yeah, right, I can't wait all apart in the 192 00:13:26.830 --> 00:13:31.909 next ten years. True, Elon Musk has a good head on his shoulders. 193 00:13:31.950 --> 00:13:35.870 I like people like think like him. He was he was getting many, 194 00:13:35.190 --> 00:13:39.669 he was getting into it with some cartoonist about the singularity and whatnot. 195 00:13:39.710 --> 00:13:43.299 Last night it is pretty funny. Oh really, yeah, good times. 196 00:13:43.860 --> 00:13:46.940 So okay with the show though. So all right, here's where I'm stuck. 197 00:13:48.620 --> 00:13:50.899 The podcasting part is pretty easy, like you could tell, we're making 198 00:13:50.899 --> 00:13:54.970 a podcast right now and the sound sounds good and you go over to five 199 00:13:56.210 --> 00:14:00.210 and get a voiceover artist for the front and my friend Ray made some music. 200 00:14:00.529 --> 00:14:03.409 Should I stick with the same music or say, if actually find music 201 00:14:03.490 --> 00:14:05.409 eventually, I want to pick one song and stick with it because I believe 202 00:14:05.409 --> 00:14:09.809 in like the power, the power of a tone, like the Intel child 203 00:14:09.970 --> 00:14:11.519 or stuff like that. Well, it's stuff like that. has to be 204 00:14:13.000 --> 00:14:16.159 either, like you said, the chime from that or the Netflix boom boom, 205 00:14:16.200 --> 00:14:20.919 yeah, or you know, something like that, or it has to 206 00:14:20.000 --> 00:14:24.149 be an earworm. Right, right. I like the song, the short 207 00:14:24.190 --> 00:14:28.669 one. Yeah, that's song that's playing right now on this episode. Is 208 00:14:28.269 --> 00:14:33.110 called Brazil, the theme from Brazil. It's like an old class Oh yeah, 209 00:14:33.389 --> 00:14:35.710 I love that one. But yeah, people wonder like what the fuck 210 00:14:35.789 --> 00:14:39.340 is that mean? What's Brazil all about? So that's one of my all 211 00:14:39.419 --> 00:14:43.659 time favorite sci fi movies about a dystopy tract. I wonder how much it 212 00:14:43.659 --> 00:14:46.179 would cost to license that. I don't know. You need to have I 213 00:14:46.259 --> 00:14:50.740 guess I'll find out if they ever send the site, send a sea synthesis 214 00:14:50.820 --> 00:14:54.929 letter to me. I'll find out one day. They so funny, but 215 00:14:54.690 --> 00:14:58.250 I don't know, not too concerned about it. Some people have whole podcast 216 00:14:58.330 --> 00:15:01.889 with like nothing but UN licensed music, broly, like illegal, like license 217 00:15:01.929 --> 00:15:05.929 music that they're not paying for R and they'll have like a whole you know, 218 00:15:07.009 --> 00:15:11.559 quote unquote, radio type show. Strange Huh. Anyway. But my 219 00:15:11.639 --> 00:15:13.320 bigger concern is here, and this is always the thing, like I want 220 00:15:13.360 --> 00:15:18.799 to connect people, and there goes that want to connect people in the real 221 00:15:18.919 --> 00:15:24.429 world at the meetings, to people that listen to the podcast, to people 222 00:15:24.509 --> 00:15:26.870 that are on social media, because I think that's three distinctly different types of 223 00:15:26.950 --> 00:15:31.710 people. My biggest hurdle right now is finding people that are on social media 224 00:15:31.870 --> 00:15:35.220 to actually figure out how to work a podcast, because that's not that's not 225 00:15:35.340 --> 00:15:39.419 the easiest thing in it we're that's a new thing. I mean podcast have 226 00:15:39.500 --> 00:15:45.299 been around a long time and I have and I'm usually up on tech stuff, 227 00:15:45.419 --> 00:15:48.980 Yep, but I've kind of resisted them in part because don't drive all 228 00:15:50.009 --> 00:15:54.610 that much long distances, yea anywhere, and that's where I usually listen to 229 00:15:54.690 --> 00:16:00.409 things on CD or whatever. HMM. But just sitting down and listening to 230 00:16:00.850 --> 00:16:06.559 talking is just not a thing that I really do around the house, except 231 00:16:06.799 --> 00:16:12.600 that I've started listening to your podcast and and just kind of playing around on 232 00:16:12.639 --> 00:16:15.480 the Internet while it kind of plays in the background. But it's interesting enough 233 00:16:15.519 --> 00:16:19.110 that it holds my attention and it's not that long. It's not it doesn't 234 00:16:19.110 --> 00:16:22.789 take an hour out of my day, you know. Yeah, that's true, 235 00:16:22.870 --> 00:16:25.909 and it even the ones that are super long, like when I'm at 236 00:16:25.909 --> 00:16:29.389 work just doing some fabrication, you know, out in the factory part, 237 00:16:29.870 --> 00:16:33.659 I will turn on something like Joe Rogan that literally goes for like three hours. 238 00:16:33.620 --> 00:16:37.019 But you just find that you pay attention when you do, when you 239 00:16:37.179 --> 00:16:40.299 don't pay attention, when you're not paying attention. Yeah, that's okay. 240 00:16:40.419 --> 00:16:47.690 So can I think an idea of connecting people in a space like podcast is 241 00:16:47.809 --> 00:16:53.610 something that you sort of listen to but you're not really interacting with, whereas 242 00:16:53.649 --> 00:17:00.169 a group online or a group in person you're interacting with them or you can 243 00:17:00.330 --> 00:17:03.600 interact if you feel like it. Yeah, and you can learn idea to 244 00:17:03.639 --> 00:17:06.799 connect those yeah, yeah, and you can lark. I think that's important 245 00:17:06.839 --> 00:17:08.839 and they are that kind of I guess that's why podcasts are cool in a 246 00:17:08.880 --> 00:17:11.279 way, because you're in a way, you're like a Voyeur, you're listening 247 00:17:11.359 --> 00:17:17.150 in on other others conversations. Sure, but so that anyway, back to 248 00:17:17.190 --> 00:17:21.750 the the group thing. Is I wanted, like currently I'm trying this thing 249 00:17:21.829 --> 00:17:26.069 called the mighty networks, mighty networks, and it's an APP. I saw 250 00:17:26.069 --> 00:17:30.180 ads scrolling by one day on facebook and said, hey, you like networks, 251 00:17:30.180 --> 00:17:34.660 you should try this, and I put the bipolar junglecom domain named porting, 252 00:17:34.779 --> 00:17:37.819 pointing to that right now, but it just seems slow and clunky. 253 00:17:37.900 --> 00:17:40.980 So now I'm at the point where like, well, Shit, should we 254 00:17:41.059 --> 00:17:47.089 just point the bipolar jungle kind of community group domain named back to a facebook 255 00:17:47.170 --> 00:17:51.329 group? Yeah, I guess I hate facebook and I hate that we have 256 00:17:51.450 --> 00:17:53.730 to be there. I prefer twitter because it's fast and immediate and more like 257 00:17:53.769 --> 00:17:59.240 chat, like I appreciate. Well, and here's an argument for having an 258 00:17:59.440 --> 00:18:04.200 on something that's not facebook, because facebook forces you to use your real name 259 00:18:04.400 --> 00:18:07.599 and profile. Oh, I wonder if they're going to kick me off because 260 00:18:07.599 --> 00:18:11.839 I just change mind, the John Emotions all together and change my pics, 261 00:18:11.920 --> 00:18:15.150 my face up to that Emojo care unless somebody, you reports it. Okay, 262 00:18:17.190 --> 00:18:22.150 but the so it means that in a group you're not really anonymous. 263 00:18:22.430 --> 00:18:26.819 That's true. That is true. So you just saying a better a different 264 00:18:26.859 --> 00:18:30.420 platform would be better, just on the anonymity part alone. Right, like, 265 00:18:30.500 --> 00:18:33.140 because I've like slack is cool, you can. Okay, here's the 266 00:18:33.180 --> 00:18:37.180 other problem that I've noticed. Is Huge in the facebook, quote unquote support 267 00:18:37.220 --> 00:18:41.930 groups, and that they get tens of thousands of people, Twentyzero. Yeah, 268 00:18:42.009 --> 00:18:45.369 you can't even keep on. That's good, effective and I think like 269 00:18:45.809 --> 00:18:48.250 slack is a good way. I think we can create channels like by region, 270 00:18:48.329 --> 00:18:51.529 like okay, there's too many people here now, that's going to be 271 00:18:51.730 --> 00:18:55.839 New York, that's going to be California, that's going to be midwester whatever, 272 00:18:56.359 --> 00:18:59.400 and I think you can do that and keep people organize that way. 273 00:18:59.599 --> 00:19:03.920 But that whole idea about black to techy for did. That's the thing. 274 00:19:03.000 --> 00:19:07.640 It's America and then it's yet another APP people have to have on their damn 275 00:19:07.720 --> 00:19:11.109 phone and have to learn right, right. Just us, it comes easy 276 00:19:11.150 --> 00:19:15.269 because we learned it and we were well yet because we had to work and 277 00:19:15.390 --> 00:19:18.109 we were paid to learn it because it was at work right, and now 278 00:19:18.190 --> 00:19:23.660 we like it so so, but I guess not like generally, more APPs, 279 00:19:23.900 --> 00:19:29.460 fault, more downloads, yeah, more things to log into. So 280 00:19:29.619 --> 00:19:32.859 I guess kind of leads back to facebook. But I'm just like, how 281 00:19:32.900 --> 00:19:38.250 do I keep a facebook group flexible and in a way that you can splinter 282 00:19:38.369 --> 00:19:41.930 it off after two hundred people or so, you know, after that? 283 00:19:42.289 --> 00:19:47.089 I don't know if you can do that. I do know that the best 284 00:19:47.289 --> 00:19:52.450 facebook groups that I'm in that have anything to do with health or support or 285 00:19:52.240 --> 00:19:59.000 that kind of thing are all secret groups and you have to have an invitation 286 00:19:59.319 --> 00:20:06.000 from somebody in the group to be a member. But you could have people 287 00:20:06.680 --> 00:20:11.630 that go to bipolar jungle or wherever you're having it pointed yeah, point to 288 00:20:11.710 --> 00:20:15.630 the secret group because you can't find it otherwise. HMM. So, but 289 00:20:15.750 --> 00:20:21.460 that would defense. That would defeat the purpose of the due bipolar junglecom domain 290 00:20:21.579 --> 00:20:23.700 them because if people type that in and actually went to the secret group, 291 00:20:23.700 --> 00:20:26.380 would be like, I can't find mine. Where is it? Right? 292 00:20:26.660 --> 00:20:32.099 And now we're back to you don't get to have an alienist. What about 293 00:20:32.339 --> 00:20:36.369 Yammer? Have you ever used the amber before? You've told me about it, 294 00:20:36.369 --> 00:20:37.569 but I haven't used it. I like it. It looks and feels 295 00:20:37.609 --> 00:20:41.930 a lot like facebook. Again, it's another website. But, because that's 296 00:20:41.930 --> 00:20:47.250 also the upside, it's another website, you can actually download your your like 297 00:20:47.369 --> 00:20:49.559 emailers lists and keep it so if it ever goes out of business, you 298 00:20:49.640 --> 00:20:53.720 can still get in touch with your people. That's a great idea. Yeah, 299 00:20:55.079 --> 00:20:59.720 so, but man, but again, facebook is like a giant. 300 00:20:59.920 --> 00:21:03.440 Yeah, facebook's like a giant tractor beam that keeps people sucked into it. 301 00:21:03.519 --> 00:21:07.430 It does it wants to keep you part of that's why we're getting all our 302 00:21:07.470 --> 00:21:11.589 news things on facebook now, and fake news too. Well, and fake 303 00:21:11.670 --> 00:21:17.190 news too, but I mean you Shud can subscribe to follow like BBC, 304 00:21:17.589 --> 00:21:21.779 and yeah, that's True News, right, right, the real ones. 305 00:21:22.500 --> 00:21:23.700 But yeah, so, in fact, I think a lot of people, 306 00:21:23.900 --> 00:21:29.460 especially older folks, just between like Huffington Post and facebook. They think that 307 00:21:29.740 --> 00:21:33.009 is the web and that's the whole entire Internet right there. So, I 308 00:21:33.089 --> 00:21:36.490 mean I know people that are still on AOL. So you saw their sutting 309 00:21:36.529 --> 00:21:40.529 down Messenger. After yeah, twenty years, are finally killing AOL Messenger. 310 00:21:40.730 --> 00:21:45.369 Yeah, that's so a bazy. What's crazy, as I still I hadn't 311 00:21:45.369 --> 00:21:51.759 used it in probably fifteen years. But yeah, I my login probably was 312 00:21:51.880 --> 00:21:56.359 still good up until then until they shut it down. Man, I missed 313 00:21:56.400 --> 00:22:00.000 those days. Things were simple and that's really what slack is. AOL Instant 314 00:22:00.000 --> 00:22:03.630 Messenger. It's just an instant messenger. Again, it's just another instant messenger. 315 00:22:04.829 --> 00:22:10.710 So that's a format that's super different from posting something and then discussing it. 316 00:22:11.589 --> 00:22:15.859 Right. I like the secret group idea. People like exclusivity and being 317 00:22:15.940 --> 00:22:18.740 and things that are protected. But you're right about the real name policy. 318 00:22:18.299 --> 00:22:22.740 I think it would be more open to talk about it, put a pole 319 00:22:22.140 --> 00:22:29.500 or a series of polls on maybe twitter. Twitter. Yeah, because that's 320 00:22:29.579 --> 00:22:33.250 organically grown pretty quick. I've been only humping that for like three weeks and 321 00:22:33.490 --> 00:22:37.890 there's like three hundred ish like real followers, like normal people that are not 322 00:22:38.049 --> 00:22:44.680 spami. They're not you know Social Media Marketing Guru's telling me how to get 323 00:22:44.880 --> 00:22:48.039 tips. Yeah, it's they're actually like legitimate real people, but it's amazing. 324 00:22:48.960 --> 00:22:52.720 Yeah, yeah, I'm like now I find myself obsessed with followers and 325 00:22:52.799 --> 00:22:56.160 downloads, but it's really neat. The downloads for the show keep going up 326 00:22:56.319 --> 00:23:03.190 like fifty percent each week in new podcast there's that many more pot downloads from 327 00:23:03.190 --> 00:23:06.269 the previous week. That's so cool. I know it's like it's working. 328 00:23:06.470 --> 00:23:12.380 What crazy. And the merge. Okay, I put a happy face on 329 00:23:12.460 --> 00:23:17.059 the merch because I know I got the other one. How's it look? 330 00:23:17.259 --> 00:23:19.099 It's cool, it's gorgeous. Yeah, you got to take a picture and 331 00:23:19.180 --> 00:23:22.819 post an option. Okay, yeah, I will. I got that. 332 00:23:22.940 --> 00:23:26.380 And I have another one where there's a human in an elevator box and there's 333 00:23:26.420 --> 00:23:27.769 like an Arrow going up and are going down, so it's like, you 334 00:23:27.849 --> 00:23:30.369 know, the ups and down. Me, I'm trying to think of all 335 00:23:30.410 --> 00:23:34.690 kinds of like ideas that rod got to get. Emo Joe. Yeah, 336 00:23:34.730 --> 00:23:37.250 I'll send you one because now I have it, I haven't set up. 337 00:23:37.289 --> 00:23:42.680 Basically, I'm looking at the leaderboard on my my back end there so I 338 00:23:42.720 --> 00:23:45.839 can tell who's being the most. I'm trying to gain on it. Can 339 00:23:45.920 --> 00:23:49.400 you tell that I'm trying? I haven't looked today. I know that bipolar 340 00:23:49.519 --> 00:23:52.519 connect is kicking ass this month and it rush is out at the end of 341 00:23:52.559 --> 00:23:56.950 every month so everyone has a new chance to get up to the top of 342 00:23:56.990 --> 00:23:59.190 the list. But yeah, if you want one. Plus, I'm thinking 343 00:23:59.230 --> 00:24:03.269 of bribing people for helping me like manage the facebook group with t shirts. 344 00:24:03.309 --> 00:24:06.109 Yeah, because I think that's a bitter idea. It's some more effective way 345 00:24:06.630 --> 00:24:11.259 to both build the brand and I think all the like quote unquote bipolar style 346 00:24:11.460 --> 00:24:15.140 t shirts. I don't think they're going to say bipolar style anywhere on them. 347 00:24:15.180 --> 00:24:18.460 I think just the artwork itself will represent things that are bipolar and nature 348 00:24:18.539 --> 00:24:22.259 somebody as yeah, yeah, just to stir a conversation. Or if you're 349 00:24:22.299 --> 00:24:27.650 recognize that logo somewhere else, you'll know like there's someone who knows. Yeah, 350 00:24:27.849 --> 00:24:30.890 totally, I like that idea. Yeah, so cool. Okay, 351 00:24:30.890 --> 00:24:33.690 so things are coming together. I just want to keep on the mics because 352 00:24:33.690 --> 00:24:37.289 I like I try to do three podcasts a week and this one sounds great. 353 00:24:37.289 --> 00:24:41.720 It sounds like a real podcast and the voice sound nervous. Yeah, 354 00:24:41.720 --> 00:24:45.359 I know what don't sound like on a microphone. I Hate I don't know 355 00:24:45.359 --> 00:24:48.759 what I found like to other people. I only know what I sound like 356 00:24:48.079 --> 00:24:51.559 to me. Yeah, I know you sound great it, but and like 357 00:24:51.680 --> 00:24:53.349 even to me it's on my own voice when I have to go back and 358 00:24:53.430 --> 00:24:57.029 edit this just even, you know, quantify the audio or make sure it's 359 00:24:57.069 --> 00:25:00.630 not too loud or whatever. I have to listen to my own voice and 360 00:25:00.869 --> 00:25:04.390 like Oh, I got it. Sound like such a Magoo fucking door. 361 00:25:04.710 --> 00:25:07.819 Just shut that guy up. Why is he even talking? Know, you 362 00:25:07.940 --> 00:25:11.619 sound fine, you sound funny, sound normal, normal, exactly. Okay, 363 00:25:11.660 --> 00:25:15.059 that's all I can hope that's my thing with this particular show, because 364 00:25:15.059 --> 00:25:19.819 I've listened to other podcast and there's there's still too sterile for me. They're 365 00:25:19.859 --> 00:25:25.410 little too clinical and they're little too safe. Like I'm thinking of all the 366 00:25:25.450 --> 00:25:27.609 bipolar people I know and I'm like, none of them are that way. 367 00:25:27.609 --> 00:25:32.450 They're all like rock and rolled, dangerous, fucking crazy kind of people, 368 00:25:32.529 --> 00:25:36.319 in a good way. Crazy, not not stigmatizinger. Right, right. 369 00:25:37.039 --> 00:25:40.519 So we need a we need a podcast for bipolar people like that. So 370 00:25:41.039 --> 00:25:44.720 this will be this will be that. Fiona, yeah, get you got 371 00:25:44.799 --> 00:25:48.160 to get over to twitter now and make like feed, I gotta hurt him. 372 00:25:48.359 --> 00:25:52.029 You own a star shine or make a crazy last name?

And 383 00:26:41.039 --> 00:26:45.559 the great thing about having PTSD even and times. But this is this would 384 00:26:45.599 --> 00:26:48.869 look like in times if, yeah, if you were actually to like have 385 00:26:49.029 --> 00:26:52.990 a movie, this is this is all the stuff that was in that Zeitgeis 386 00:26:52.069 --> 00:26:56.750 movie a few years ago, hurricanes and riots and crazy presidents and wars and 387 00:26:56.869 --> 00:27:00.619 like.
