Adam Has a Podcast Episode 2; Content

*intro* That's it. That's the intro from now on. I wish that could be why I took a week off. I was like just working on that for the entire week. But I gotta be honest, it was quite auspicious of me. It's auspicious is like planning for success. There you go. There's your word of the day, auspicious. It was quite auspicious of me to plan on releasing my podcasts on the two worst days of the week that I classically have. But uh I was like, yeah, that's going to be the way to success is uh overcome adversity. But damn, adversity got hands, fam. Nah, it's, my energy got kind of thrown off, which leads me into like, also what made me debate about my next podcast topic, because I wanted to do number two as content. But then there's so many things that came up for the energy one that I'm like, this is so pertinent is I got to do it. But I think part of the energy like bit is that you you got to have patience. And me and patience, we go back. So I'll have a little bit of patience on the energy bit. And this week will be about content. So if you're like an avid fan, you can look forward to next week being about energy. Maybe you could like leave a comment or something. I got to build a website to organize everything, which is also what kind of halted me up because I was like, I want to make the website now. But I'm having trouble picking, like, do I want to use WordPress? Do I want to use GoDaddy? I have experience with GoDaddy. It would be like like super quick and easy to do it with Go Daddy. It would just cost money, whereas WordPress is free, but I'd have like a stupid, silly WordPress link. So I don't really know. But yeah, I wanted to make a website so people could like submit things and stuff like that. Also, it was going to be pretty multi-general use for me as like a portfolio website. R like, yo, what's Adam up to? There you go. But there's so many different kinds of irons in the fire. And thinking about all those different kinds of irons in the fire makes me a little bit overwhelmed. And it just makes me stop. So I got to really just take it one step at a time and have a little bit of patience with myself. Speaking of which, man, I get an edible, like, I don't know, half an hour now, and it's kicking my ass. I already recorded like 10 minutes of this, but I left my notifications on. it got all dingy up in this John, so I was like,Yo, let me restart. I'm getting super silly. which is I'm actually like so glad that I set up like a template for this. So now I can just kind of like, whenever I get super silly, just be like, all right, everything's plugged in record and it's all set up to, you know, go. which is part of why last week was structure, I guess two weeks ago. The last episode was structure. It was because building the structure was important for me to be able to, you know, fall into the flow and the rhythm of it whenever I want. And that's why this week should be about content. because what is structure without content? You know, what would that structure be filled with if I don't have anything to fill it with every week? Which is not a problem for me, but organizing it out is a problem for me. which actually, I have a few different points that I want to start on. I think the best way to start would be a very pertinent quote. I like quotes here. You know, I always, there's only been one so far, but you know I'm fin and these babies with a quote every time. and starting out with a quote sounds just as good. So, I've been really into JoJo's bizarre adventure lately. I found that video. I I'm gonna try to stop saying, uh, and shit, I'm going to get more streamlined into this shit, but I'm high as a motherfucker. I'm high as shit right now. Wow, this edible is really good. The lady at the dispensary is like, so awesome. She always, like, I go there so much. She always gives me, like, little treats and shit, but, like, yo, if you're ever in LA, go to the drop off Rosenrantz, fireplace. They got great prices, even if you don't have somebody to be giving you deals there, like, they have great prices. It's the entire reason why I start going there in the first place because they got like consistent $4 joints and, you know, $13 eighth, you know me. I love that shit. And they're actually pretty fire, except I smoked through all of an eighth, like two days, which isn't, like, unusual for me, but lately it's, like, you know, I've been trying to cut down, so that's that's a lot.. I used to be on that, like eighth a day shift. I remember I bought like a pound of weed and, like, to my face, I was just like, I had so much that I couldn't smoke it. That was such a glorious time in my life. I actually had so much that it started going bad. But it was kind of like a boof run from the beginning. So the guy bought it back from me so he could turn it into dabs and he bought it for we trade it and he didn't buy it back. He traded it for dabs. And I got like a half pound of shatter for it. So I traded him like a half pound weed for a half pound of shatter. And then I had that shatter for a mad long time. It was pretty fire. I liked it. Whenever I ran out of weed, I just had that shatter to like, okay, I don't have to worry about running out of teeth. See, I could just go do a fat dap. But then, when I was working at the dispensary, I met this dude and he was a, um. I don't know if you'd call him a jeweler. He was like a stone cutter. Is that a jeweler? Yeah. I don't know. But he had these tananites and a blue topass, which is like my fucking birthstones. And he just like pulled them out of his pocket and was like, yo, check these out. And I was like, what the fuck? How did you have them? And I was actually like on a search for them because I wanted to own like my own birthstones because I'm really into rocks and stuff like that. And I have a whole bunch of rocks, but I don't have any of my own birthstones, so I really wanted them and I was on a search for them. And this dude just like came up out of nowhere and he's like, yo, if you want to do a little trade or something, I'm be down for that. And I didn't have any money at the time, so I couldn't really buy him. any weed at the store, but at the dispensary that I worked at. But I did have those dabs and I traded him in the dabs for the tans and nights, and he also gave me two other stones. He gave me a, I think it's a calcite, but it's a special calcite where if you expose it to UV light, it what's the irides is yellow. So it's a clear calcite, but when under UV light, it irideses yellow. And he also gave me a. What is it? It's It's a sapphire, but it's a. It's a special type of stone. It's a record keeper stone. Yeah, it's got a record keeper stone is a stone that natururally forms triangles on its terminating surfaces. And people believe that the record keeper stones are special because of its ability to build build the triangular structure, so they believe it has some kind of connection to like ancient technologies or maybe like it has some kind of like connection to the Ak records because of its very pure crystalline formation, especially in the triangular form. So he gave me a sapphire record keeper two Tanzanites, a blue topaz, and a UV reactive calcite for, I think it was like four ounces of dabs, maybe maybe like three and a half ounces. I think that was a pretty good deal. I was thinking about that one a lot today. It was a pretty fire fucking deal. I actually wear the Tanzanite in the topaz all the time. I have this like special little necklace. It's pretty fire. It's pretty awesome. It makes me happy. I think that's all what life is about, is just cultivating these tiny little things that just, when you look at them, you're like, yo, that makes me super happy.. I don't know what about it is. It's just like a cord necklace, but everything on it's like, yo, that's some cool shit. I always used to wear cord necklaces when I was a little kid. I used to have this little turtle pendant and it was made out of bone. and I used to wear that jaunt everywhere. It was fire. I loved it. It made me feel like a little surfer boy. I got to learn how to surf. I' I'm trying to get over my fear of the ocean so that like I can learn how to surf, but I got to get like to be a stronger swimmer first. Also, I always get water in my ears. Always. Every time I go on the water, I get water in my ears. I don't know what the fuck I'm doing wrong. But that is definitely contributed to my fear of water because every time I go in the water, I'm afraid that I'm going to come out and be like deaf on one side again. I recently learned how to like flex my sinususes in a way that will empty my bottom sinuses. It's So weird. This is so weird. I don't even want to get into it. This actually goes into the quote that I' I've been lacking on Given. So I've been watching JoJo's Bizarre Adventure Fire show. I got into it because there was this meme circulating of this dude in a riot playing a saxophone and he was playing Giorno's theme on the saxophone. And I was like, yo, that song's crazy. The energy go wild. I'm going to need to find out where that comes from. So then. I found it and I was like, yo, wait, this is season. four, though. So I got to go back and watch all the first three seasons, which apparently you don't really need to do, but I wanted the context to it. I wanted to understand like the whole universe and which this fucking Gioro character came out to be and the whole entire context of the series. Fire. But you actually don't really need to do that because each season's about a different Jojo. And it's just like following one family's bloodline throughout history. So you could have just started up in season four, but I wanted the context, which, you know, actually gave me good content, context to content. when it comes to understanding things. Because in season three, there was this character named Rohan Keshibbe. And he was a manga artist. And in this show, they have these like powers called stands and there stands like a manifestation of their soul's ability to do something. And he was like a, I don't know, 20 year old, uh prodigy manga artist and everybody was always like, oh my god, how do you make such like creative and unique, uh, you know, manga and content and it's so like riveting and terrifying. He specialized in like horror manga. It's like so riveting and terrifying and it's so real and visceral. How do you do it? How do you make it up? And he was like, nah, that's where you're wrong, fam. And that's where his like stan's ability came in because his stan's ability could like steal stories from people's lives. And he was like, that's where you're wrong. Content comes from reality. You don't sit there and try to make these things up because when you sit there and try to make them up, it doesn't sound real. But when you get this stuff from reality and then you write it down into a story, people think you made it up because it's so realistic and visceral that it's like, how could you have ever come up with this if you didn't, you know? think in a special way or or some kind of thing. Man, this edible's kicking my ass. But yeah, content comes from reality because the content is like, I don't know. believable more so when. it's unbelievable. When it's so realistic, when it comes from that actual story, it just is so unbelievable that it's amazing. And you're just like, whoa. And I thought that was a pretty good analogy for like, uh.. podcasting, just being a creative in general. I'm trying to think of the word at the same time as not saying, uh. So then there ends up being this pause. And if I had a co-host, that's when they would fill it up, but I also probably wouldn't have that time to pause. But I would also probably have longer amounts of time to pause. Hmm, this co-host thing is really been brewing around. But anyways, I got to build the structure a little bit more first. I got to get on that website thing. Then we can start inviting people on. I got to really show you what I got. And then you can start coming on and be like, "Yo, those pauses that you got, I can fill them. And I'll be like, "Yo, really?" And then I already got a couple of people that have, like, like,Yo, let me be honest. I'm like, yes, please let me build a structure first. because's definitely some fun ones coming up. But I thought that was a very pertinent quote to being a creative as a whole, that your content really just comes from reality. There's some people that like they can, they're really creative.. And, yeah, go for it. But then there's other people, like the dude that made James Bond, and he just took all of the, you know, experiences from his life and people that he had seen around him. And he turned it into this character, this one like condensed character that was just like, whoa, one person did all that. That's pretty unbelievable. But like, he and, like, six other dudes in his platoon and, like, you know, stories from all around, yeah, it starts getting a little bit more believable and like, it starts to actually make a little bit more sense after that. Which is also why I'm probably never going to run out of content because there's just so much crazy stuff stuff that's happened to me so far that I got like a lot of content. But then crazy shit just keeps happening. Like life is life. Life just keeps on lifing. So I'm just going to always have a steady supplying stream of content, which actually leads me into another point that I have here was there's this kind of problem I'm noticing on the internet. I don't know. I kind of been backing off of everything for a while. I wish I could say it was like one place, like YouTube shorts, tip TikTok, or like YouTube as a whole, Facebook, Instagram, you know, the new one threads that I haven't signed up for. I don't think I'm going to sign up for that one. It seems kind of like I'm so done with this stuff by now. I wish it was like a one source thing, but it seems to be highly pervasive throughout the internet that there's just this saturation point where we're all regurgerating the same kind of stories and content. Regurgeration sounds like a mean word in my head, because it sounds just inherently gross, like, oh God, he's regurgitating. He's throwing up. What is he throwing up here? But, um it is just kind of like, I don't I don't know, shitting sounds worse, like he's shitting it out everywhere. But it is just kind of like everybody digested this content and then now that's what we're, you know, redistributing back on the internet. I come from like the deep, dark annals of the internet. Like when I was mad young, way too little, I was like, trolling on 4chan and stuff. And it was that was at the, I was pretty young. Okay, so my age follows the years. In 2010-ish, maybe like 13, 2010 to 13, maybe 14, Anonymous was like super popular. And they were like just like this internet army of dickheads. And it got me interested in 4chan and I was like, yo, what is this 4chan shit? So then I started looking it up and it actually is a pretty cool website. If you avoid all the like weird, gross dickhead shit, there's like a, it's a bait website too. Like they will bait you into being angry just to see you act angrily on the internet just so they could be like ha, look what what I made this guy do. So you have to kind of go into it knowing that like, yo, people are going to try and piss me off here. But if you go into some of the boards, like Paranormal was one of my favorite boards. because you would definitely run into like your fair share of like, oh, dude, this guy's fucking insane. But you would also get like, you're just like, uh, you know, people sharing creepy pastas and like conspiracy theories and stuff like that. And you just get like your fair share of like a good community of people that just like highly enjoyed this kind of stuff. and this was like their place where they could, you know, get to have some kind of people to talk about it with. But that's like the first place that I learned about like that hole in the Antarctic. which was like some story that like propports that there's this hole to another universe inside the Antarctic. Or it's like a hole to like inner earth, which is like a different dimension. I don't know. They say that like space and time breaks down over the Antarctic and the Nazis discovered it or some shit and like that's why World War II was so important because they were trying to like control space and time or some shit. I don't know. It's an insane, like conspiracy theory. If you can find it, go look it up, go read it, if you're interested in that kind of stuff, But then later on, I would see like mad TikToks, YouTube shorts, Instagram stories,'re all the same format, like Snapchat. So no wonder people are like reposting them to different services. But it was just that same story with like an AI voice saying it with a dude behind a green screen saying it with like another dude behind a green screen saying it with a dude with those two dudes with the green screen, like, you know, having them spliced onto the video as he's watching the video and then like reacting to it, like those reaction videos. there's just such, uh, like, they took one story and ran with it kind of deal. And I, I come from that place where all those stories originated from. And this kind of goes back into, um, last week's episode where I talked about Aesop's Fables being a, the like original Bible that like Jesus would have read. And then that being regurgitated into the Bible, it's just like that. That's like kind of the kind of content that I've been stuck into lately. And It's not bad, but I think people are forgetting that main point that I quoted at the beginning, that content comes from reality. And like, none of us were living in reality because of COVI. for like two years. So I can totally understand that people are like getting to that place now for the first time and it's new to them. But I'm like, yo, this ain't new to me. Yo, I record in my bed because it is the quietest place that I have. And I have like a blanket up around the window, but every time I shift, there is this little creaky cracky noise and I'm afraid that it's in the video, but I want to shift around. So we're going to take a little shifty break right now where I'm going to shift and I'm going to light a cigarette at the same time. So it's going to get quiet. Let's just. If I had a stronger mike, that would have been an ASMR moment where I was like, you could hear it, Carol. I don't know if that made a noise. But um, all right, let's get back into it. Yeah, people kind of forgot that like content comes from reality. So then they came up with all this like stuff that was like new to them, but it's it's old to me. but, hey, guess what? I still viewed it. I still watched it. I still gave them a view. Some of them for it when it was like the first ones that I was seeing. I was like, oh, I remember that story. So I liked it out of nostalgia. And that makes me kind of lead to this kind of secondary thought on it, where everything is so hypersaturated at this point. Everybody is doing like everything at the same time where you come up with an idea and you feel like you go and you Google it and six other people are already doing it. So what's the point? And I don't think.. that that's a bad thing necessarily. I think that if you have an idea, you should just run with it, and you shouldn't Google it first. You should just run with it and be like, I have this idea and you should at least start it and start doing it. Because when you do it and you start like building a structure for it, like if you start out by building a website or maybe an Instagram page or something, then those people who are also interested in it can find you. And then you you too will have something that resonates between you that you can talk about. And it's not necessarily a bad thing that you both have the same idea, because it'll lead to you both personally developing and growing in ways and maybe diverging off of the idea that wouldn't have been possible if you two didn't come together in the first place. So I really kind of started thinking about it not as like a competition for ideas, but more so a coalescence. If we all just come together on certain things, person A will be able to fill the gaps of person B, person C will be able to fill the gaps of person A and person B will be able to fill the gaps of person D. So it's kind of like we're all helping each other out invisible hand of content creation. Or they call it the invisible hand of economics because, you know, economics is everything to those people. But the invisible hand, nonetheless, is a good analogy for things that, you know, kind of guide you. So, you know, you come up with an idea. I had an idea for a light up dance floor. Fire idea. How would I ever come up with it? And then I Googled it and I was like, oh, my God, it's already an idea. It's already on El Ali Baba. Like, it's already a thing. But my idea was also a little bit further because these were like plasticky, kind of densey, like wall tile type things. And I want like waterproof, like glossy surface, like like light up floor. You could have so many different designs of tiles. You could have like an infinity tile. Wow, my cigarette went out. You could have so many different kinds of things. And that's also what kind of led me to this conclusion that like, yo, it's the coalescence, because how could I build those things? But, hey, look, there's this entire website of manufacturers that are already building these things. If I gave them different kinds of specs and said, hey, it give me 10 cents off of every 10,000 y yadas or this or that, there you go. There's eight books a month. You'd be making off four tiles because you just decided to sell a design. I guess that goes into an ideology of abundance versus an ideology of lack. I always have been, like, really big into this because I grew up around people that had the ideology of like lack a lot. And I saw how like the idea of not having enough would cause a a division amongst people. When in reality, we live in like a world an earth, a universe, that we have way more than enough. Like there's a lot of people right now, so it seems a little overwhelming, just like all the moving parts of like me trying to build a website and all that. It seems overwhelming because there's just like a lot, but it's actually quite manageable. It's all quite manageable and there's all enough for everybody. We just got to, you know, all of us put our ideas forth and get on the same page and have person A, help person C and yada yada with the yada yada. Which. I wish could say, leads me to my next point, but I don't have any more points after that. Nah, I got to be honest, too. Sometimes, uh me, myself, I think I'll make up something like original and creative, but I'll oftentimes find that, uh I somehow picked up on something and I accidentally did it. Like this one time I was talking to a dude in the street and I said something. And he was like, yo, that's from this movie. And I was like, I have never seen that movie in my life, actually. And it was just like this resonancy, this vibe that I picked up on. You can see why I debated like, yo,, which episode is more pertent content or energy because they kind of interlace into one another without the energy, you know, to create content, where's the content and without the content that stimulates energy, where's life? That's a very unfinished thought. But yeah, sometimes I'll just be coming up with shit, and I have, like, no idea what it is until somebody else kind of fills me in. And I'm like, whoa, holy crap, how did I even do that? And I have a really good example of this one time, there's this holiday of the, what is it? Hindu religion called the Wali. And The Knight of Dali, I just randomly started like chanting, like, Gita Vishnu or some shit, like in like a deep you know, throat chant kind of way. I'm not going to do it on here. Because I'm not.. If you if you want me to throat chant, you got to find me in person and you got to say, hey, Adam, will you throat chant for me? And that is the only way that I'll throat chant. I hope that somebody listens to this and finds me and says that in real life. But anyways, uh, I started throat chanting and I was like, yo, why the fuck am I throat chanting right now? And I started Googling it. And I was like, oh, wow. And I started reading about the Badlagita and the all the different kind of stories that they had. And I started reading about Vishnu and all of his different avatars and I started really getting into it and I spent the entire night just like researching because it was so interesting to me. And the next morning, I got up and my neighbor was nailing flowers to his doorway and I was like, hey, what are you nailing flowers there for? And he's like, oh, it's Dwali. I was like, you kidding me? You're shitting me. You're joking. You heard me last night and you started doing all this shit. And it really was Dwally. I Googled it. I was like, holy shit, today's today's a holiday. And I don't know how I picked up on that like frequency or that resonancy, but it just started channeling right through me. And I've always been interested in that kind of stuff. And that, you know, kind of went into the back of my mind. And then I was at this job and I just, uh, I felt like it was going against my morals in a capacity. because I went through some nonsense and I was like, I'm not being the man I want to be. I got to start sticking to my guns. I got to start, you know, listening to that quiet voice in my head. And when that quiet voice says something, I got to listen to it. And I've been really trying hard to do that. And I got this kind of like job that I knew in the beginning, many years ago, that this job would not work out for me because it isn't a type of environment that fosters these negative character traits that I do not want within myself. And I had been given this opportunity, and I was like,Yo, this is so insane that I thought I dropped off this path many years ago, but now I have this opportunity. I got to take it. I just got to see what it's like. I got to see if I like it. And I was being morally challenged and I just didn't like it. It just was a challenge in and of itself. But this one day, me and my mom were at Target, and this random dude stopped us, and he handed us a bunch of books, uh, he handed me the B Bacquita as it is, which is crazy because I've been wanting to read it, but it's such a long book that like, I can't read it online. I need like a physical book to read it. It's like 700 pages. And he just handed it to me. I was like, holy shit, what? And then he handed me a book on the perfection of yoga, which is lit because I've been trying to get back into stretching. And the science is self-realization. And he told me that they have a temple that was actually on my way to work that opens up at 4:30 in the morning every morning. And then they do their kind of meditation and then they come into it around 730s when they have their big thing and then it's done by 8. And I was like, wow, that fits into my schedule so perfectly, but I never went. But all of this is very cool because the book, all three books are by this one dude called A C. Bivanta, Biv. Bivanta. Swami Prabuta.. Prabata. Oh, Prada. Bif Danta Swami Prabuna.. Wow, that is a crazy name. But he's he's got the AC at the beginning, which is Adam Capello, I I was like, well, that resonates. That's crazy. That's me. That's hip. That's now. That's real. And I've been really interested in that kind of stuff. Ooh, I'm getting sweaty. Holden needs a book. Um, I've been interested. No, I guess I'll kind of save that for the chi thing, but I've been working out a lot lately. But then I suddenly stopped and my body is still like producing the same amount of energy that it was when I was working out. So then it you can't store it all because I'm typically spending it and it's not going to store as fat for some reason. I think because it's already converted into ATP, that it's not getting stored into fat because it's already as a usable energy. So my body just keeps off putting it at random intervals, just like when I guess it reaches a saturation point. And just, I'll just suddenly just get like a dump of heat. And I'm like, yo, this is crazy. And you know what's fire? You can actually control your body temperature. I've been like learning about it and trying to do it for years. I used to have this goal in the wintertime where I wanted my body temperature to be so high that it would melt the snow beneath my feet. But Massachusetts got so gosh, diddly darn cold, bro. I remember there were times when like I'll be walking to school. It was like a 20 All right, let's be realistic here. It was like two football field lengths of a walk from my house to the school. Maybe even just like a football field and a half. It wasn't short, but it wasn't long. You know what I'm saying? Nah, nah, nah, nah. It was short. It was short, but it wasn't like so short. It was long enough for my hair to freeze on the walk to school, on those really cold days. We had like this one winter. It was like for rows and bro. It was so bad. I think it it got so cold in Canada that it was actually colder in Canada that it was on Mars for once. I think this was like 2016. And I walked to school and brought my hair froze. My nostrils froze all the way. Like, ugh, when I was an adult and I had like facial hair, my facial hair would freeze sometimes and get crunchy and crispy, like, it get so cold in Massachusetts, sometimes that your body trying to fight against that shit. It's like not impossible. I used to have some heavy motherfucking jackets. It got so cold there. You could That's why I moved, to be honest. I needed to thaw the fuck up. Because like, sometimes even now, like, I'll be breathing, and suddenly I'll like breathe out cold and I'll be like, oh, no, that's the cold of Massachusetts thawing from my bones. But it's really probably just like menthol from my vapes coming back out of my lungs. But yeah, this has been a good episode about content. I'm going to write over my notes real quick about the content of the content of the content. Yeah, it's hard being original and creative nowadays. But, you know, being original and creative is just like a perspective man, and that perspective is just one of abundance. And that goes into abundance versus lack, which is what I was talking about earlier. If you have just like an abundance of ideas, it doesn't matter if you share them, you know?''re always going to have more ideas. But if you're coming from a place where you're like, this is the only idea I've thought about six months. then you're, then like, you need that idea, bro. You need that shit way more than I do. Which is kind of like, on one degree, that's what leads to some people being successful is they only have one idea and they run with it. and like me, I have so many ideas. I don't know what to do with them, but on the other hand, once I know how to manage it, I do think that will be an attribute for success because I'll never have that like, oh, oh, I'm running out of, you know, things to do. I think learning how to manage the oversaturation of ideas is also helping me learn how to manage a potential undersaturation of ideas, because I know what it's like to throttle the exhaust or, you know, throttle, the amount of ideas coming through. I also know to like keep notes and things like that. And all these other kinds of things. There's sometimes where I'm walking around and I'm actually like starting to write notes for like new podcasts and stuff like that. And it's just a really great tool to always be writing notes because it letss me come up with these kinds of different bits of content. Oh my God, there's the word again. It's like when you're watching a movie and they say the movie title in the movie, that's what I'm doing right now, except with the word content. And I want to see how many times I can say it. And then somebody's going to put a tally in the comments that somebody might be me. But there will be a tally. Is there even comments? I'd be posting these to Spotify, mostly only, mainly because Santa Claus will charge me if I want to post more than a certain amount. And Spotify is like, hey, post as much as you want and we'll pay you, which I love a lot more. And they make it super easy with their like stripe thing and stuff like that. It's just a lot more. User friendly. which kind of brings me to like an idea of like, we're reaching this point where like Netflix was a content provider, but now they're content creators. And like Spotify was like a music service. Now Spotify wants to be like music producers as well and like things of that nature. And it's quite funny to a degree that we're reaching a point where just our want for content is so great, that it's kind of like we're all some kind of like individually each and every single one of us has become this kind of like fucked up medieval king in a way way. We're like, think about it. When was the last time you ate a meal without some kind of content or entertainment? I'm giving you a second. Think about it. Dude, we're like fucking kings with our courts full of jesters with all these little apps on our phones. It's hilarious to think about. We're like, which Netflix jester shall I have? Portray a dance for me while I eat upon my mutton today? Like, I don't know. We're all getting this kind of, like, fucked up ideology of like, uh, the same kind of ideas that, like, you know, medieval kings that probably thought, like, I need to have a court full of fools for me to enjoy this meal properly. I'm like, yo, let me pull up a Netflix comedy special in order to me eat this pizza. I just thought that was a very funny point to kind of like bring up. And I'm thinking about it too. Like, when was the last time I fell asleep without some kind of, you know, Netflix or YouTube hypnotizing me and lulling me to bed, you know? We just consume content so much. There's just such a great demand for it now. And that demand is causing companies like Netflix to come out with like silly things like Cowboy Bebop, live action and adaptation. because people just want the same content regurgitated over and over again is what they're What's the word? Supposing? It's what they're implying. That's what they're implying, but I'm here to say, fuck that. Content comes from reality. We're reaching a point where we're all capable and we're all able. So let's just start making content. Let's just start fucking going for it. I'm going to light my cigarette again. Let's start creating more creative content again, you know? I've been thinking about it like, uh.. It feels like, uh.. a generational passing of the torch is about to happen. Or it needs to happen. It's like all of these older generations, you've done your content by now. And some of them are passing the torch very gracefully, and they're kind of like moving it down, and like, you see all these like different kinds of characters coming out. And it's kind of beautiful because you see it kind of like moving along and like growing. But we're reaching that point. We're like, we need a new Bugs Bunny. You know what I'm saying? Like, nothing could ever be as classic as Bugs Bunny, but they've taken Bugs Bunny to a point where they've made it Big Chungus. You know what I'm saying? Like, the content and the source has been so boiled down, reused, diluted, saturated, you know, mushed up, chopped up, torn up, sewn back together, that we've reached a point where Bugs Bunny is B chungus now. We need something new. This is the time for like, new creatives, new ideas to start coming out. And I don't know, maybe there's always been new shit all along because you got like shit like Adventure Time and like Jake the Dog, but.. I don't know that edible is kicking my ass. I'm starting to ask unanswerable questions about the nature of reality. It feels like if you watch One Piece 99 and up, we the worst generation boy. Feels like it's time for that shit to start coming up. You know what I'm saying? Like, we're the worst generation. Not necessarily the worst generation, but it's time for us to step up and PR kind of like our generation. And we've done the thing where like we'veredurgitated and we've, you know, consumed and we've digested, but now it's time to produce. I guess that's what this little podcast here is, a little production run, a little test run of our production capabilities, a little dip in my toes in the water. But yeah, I'm thinking that it's been long enough. I'm trying to continue it now and push it on. I said the medieval Kings joke. Let me run through the notes. Content comes from reality. We said that.. Oh, yeah, we can all come together by presenting our unoriginal ideas and filling in the gaps that other people. have and whatnot. 4chan was the original internet. Yeah, that thing kind of also b bothers me a little bit that, like, not bothers me, but I find it interesting that like, it all originates from one place. And if you don't bring it from reality, it'll start self- consuming itself. So if we don't have these like people writing green texts on 4chan, then they start to self-consume themselves and, you know, they run out of content and they reach a point where, you know, there's no more copy pastas. There's no more green text. There's no more stories anymore. It's all just regurgitated nonsense and then nobody uses the website anymore. And I actually haven't gone on it in years because I just got tired of it because even within the website itself, there's so much regurgitation that it's just like, this isn't original anymore. And you can't really get like all like, super butthurt about originality. But at a certain point, you just kind of got tired of the same stuff and you just want something new. And that's your spirit of adventure. You start journeying out to find new things and start adventuring and start seeing new stuff. And that's the spirit of America right there where the land of adventure, you know I don't know if America I I think Earth still is the You can't just, you know Single it all down to one place, like America. It's the whole fucking shit and shaboodle. So, all right, I've run through all my notes. Now, come to the end where I'm gonna close it out with a quote from the endyridian. I think I'm gonna do this every time. Because they've been pretty topical both times. You know what's kind of funny is a quote from last week in the quote from this week, run in order. I didn't do that on purpose. I opened it up to a random page and it was just page 77 again by accident. Maybe I got to start opening to like more forward pages. But this is a fairly good quote that kind of plays into the content aspect of everything. It says, your reason is more important than your body. I kind of like that. Especially when it goes into like, what it takes to make content, because sometimes like, in order to experience the reality, you have to like lose a piece of yourself or you have to like, you know, conquer your fears or you have to do something in order to like get the story. It's like a trade kind of. um So it's very interesting. um Your reason is more important than your body. Let's go into the little explanation here. It says, those who are morally untrained spend an inordinate amount of time on their bodies carry out your animal functions incidentally. Your main attention should be given to the care and development of your reason, for through your reason you are able to understand nature's laws. That's crazy. Let's break that down science by sense. Those who are morally untrained spend an inordinate amount of time on their bodies. So, yeah, you're hyperfixated on the physical nature because you're morally untrained and morals is more of a etheric kind of mental nature. rather than a physical nature. So if you're having trouble with your morals and you're untrained in that aspect, of course you would want to focus on the physicality and the things that you can control in that aspect. Carry out your animal functions incidentally. So your animal functionctions, eating, breathing, fucking shitting, carry them out incidentally. Oh, just as a happenstance of being. Don't make it your main focus. It's just uh. a byproduct of being alive. So. Okay, don't focus on like, uh you know, the next time that you're going to fuck just let the fuck happen. Just let it happen naturally, and it will. Just believe that it will. Or the same thing about eating. Don't focus on eating. What am I going to eat? What is it going to taste like? I eat something that tastes so delicious. I can only eat things that taste this way. Just eat and you will find things that taste delicious. Just don't don't think about it, do it incidentally as a byproduct. I need to eat so I ate this thing and oh my God, it turns out this thing was great. And rather than, I need to eat so I can only eat this thing that I'm comfortable with. and I can only have it this certain way, oh my God, I starved to death because I couldn't find that thing that I only eat at certain times in certain ways. So just carry it out incidentally, carry out your animal functions and so that. That makes sense. Your main attention should be given to the current development of your reason. So that kind of goes into like, I feel like a point that I kind of missed throughout this was like the reasoning of content. What's like your main reason behind why you make the podcasts. I think I did kind of touch on it a little bit that, like, you know, it's time for us to step up and things of that name. You know, people just start coming out of their shells and just start embodying who they want to be. And I want to be like an inspirational force to that because inspiration is a cool fucking feeling and I want to make everybody feel it. But the attention and the care and divor development to my reason would be like how I challenge myself to post these these every Tuesday, even though Tuesday's typically a naturally, you know, downtrodden day for me. I think my reason for wanting to do it on Tuesdays is because me personally, I fucking hate Tuesdays. I'm not like Garfield in the aspect that I hate Mondays, but I'm like Garfield that I hate a day of the week. and that cigarette burned itself down. That sucks. So. the reasoning. Oh, my God, yes, so that has like some dual function there. The reason is not only strengthening myself, but it also adds to the purpose, because if I'm able to inspire myself on an uninspirational day, then I should be able to inspire others whenever they listen to it. And that's why it goes into like an energetic challenge, which is going to be the next reporting that I do, which I think is going to be hopefully a little bit more cohesive as I'm getting a little bit more practice at this. But yeah, your main attention should be given to the current development of your reason. So my main attention is being built on getting better at talking, not necessarily getting better at podcasting or all of these other kinds of things. Like, I didn't want to learn fucking Logic Pro, but I'm getting better at learning Logic Pro because I wanted to do the talking and I wanted to do the talking in a way that I could be podcasted because people said that would be a good idea. Also, I always kind of liked the idea of podcasting and when people brought it up to me, they were like, you do that. I was like, you know what? You are right about that. I should be doing that.. For through your reason, you are able to understand nature's loss. And I think we can just see how that happened in real time, how I came into an understanding of my reason.. And that's just like the law of nature that I had to, you know, learn all of these other kinds of skills and push myself and all of these other kinds of ways because I had this, you know, greater purpose. And I think that goes into like what makes people unstoppable. And it also goes back into season four of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure because Gorno was so unstoppable because he had a dream that nobody could, you know, falter him from. And that's also what makes Luffy so unstoppable, is that he has a dream to be king of the pirates and nobody, no matter what they say, can convince him otherwise of this dream. And incidentally, along the way, he learns all of these like superpowered stuff and, you know, he goes on all these crazy adventures and he meets all these friends and he helps all these people, and he tries to free the world and stuff like that. But all of this is just consequence of him choosing a goal. It's not the outcome that he wanted. It's not what he actually desired. He wanted to be king of the pirates. But in order to be king of the pirates, he had to face all these different kind of challenges. In the same thing with Gorno, he wanted to eradicate the drug trade from his home in Italy. And in order to do that, he needed to usurp the organization called the Pionistas, and he needed to take them down from the top so he could, you know, take out all the drugs that were killing everybody in his neighborhood. And it was so easy for him to like find the boss. It was like his first mission was to transport the boss's daughter. It was so easy for him to get into that position because he had a dream greater than that position could have offered. You know, that was just a stepping stone. And that goes into the creation of content. The creation of this content is just a facilitator of a message of like an energy, a kind of feeling that I'm trying to make more abundant in the world. because I think being inspired and I think feeling good about yourself and I think laughing, I think goofing around, I think being in an overall, pretty whimsical and silly character are good qualities to have. And I'd like to inspire that to people. And if listening to me, be a goofball about these kinds of different kinds of things, and, you know, listen to me, you know, actually be kind of serious sometimes about different kinds of things, helps people. Hey, I'm all for it, fam. I love it. It's the best., I've really kind of reached this challenge point where I've always been trying to be a neutral party. But when faced with the challenge of like love and hate, or faced with the challenge being neutral in the essence of love and hate, you really have to choose a side. And I always tried playing the middle ground and then I always like ended up leading more towards like angry than anything else and. I a't really like that. So me personally, lately, I just started experimenting with like, all right, let me just start giving out love. Like, it's this thing that I can just give out an unlimited amount of. Like, I have like unlimited love. Let me just throw it out everywhere and see where it lands, see where it sticks, see what happens. And honestly, things have been a lot more positive for me since I started doing that. and I don't know if it's because my own perspective has been changed to look for things that foster love rather than, like, hate or if it it's just as a nature of the power of love in and of itself, but it's a pretty awesome energy to be a part of, and it's pretty cool. And and any amount of strength that I could have conjured through hate I'm finding is like double with love, which is fucking crazy. And it's pretty cool to actually see in real time that like, whoa, when I use that kind of energy on the inside, that's how the world reacts. And when I use this kind of energy, that's how it, how it moves and reacts. And it's just a very cohesive kind of thing. That's why like content and energy, I think are are very hand in hand. So I think I'm going to hand it off to Adam in the next episode to kind of digest this whole energy thing a little bit more and kind of delve into it. It's going to be it for now. I hope you have an awesome time until next time. I'm not going to put any of these words like week or day or any of that on it. I just want you to have a good time until the next time. And the next time after that we'll have the best time and it'll just keep getting better after that. So see you out there, Space Cowboy. Keep it easy and I love you.
