Big Word, Little Thought

Hey everyone!This is just Colton here, delivering some update information. We haven't died, we have just shifted gears into a music project and away from this one. For the time being Keith and I are working on a duo rock group and we really wanted to put 100% of our energy into that project. We don't have a lot of free time together, so taking a break here was the only real path forward. We enjoy this and want to come back, but we want to execute the music project first. When we come back we will likely stay on YouTube to build more of a following and then come back to other streaming platforms.Again, thank you all so much for the love and support. I hope that you will also enjoy our music endeavors. We'll see you on the other side!-Colton and Keith

In this episode we discuss why we haven't recorded in a while. A part of that reason is re-evaluating what's important in life, another part is trying to chase after this money. We talk about everything and just catch up on mic. We talk a lot about trying to pursue dreams and knowing when is the right time to drop fun pursuits. We try to have some fun, this one is just breaking back through the ice.

Something big is impacting the digital scene. Well it already has, but we're finally talking about it. NFT's are here, and I'm sure you're tired of hearing all of the internet crap about them, but we wanted to talk about it from the angle of someone creating and selling digital art.Non Fungible Tokens seem to give anyone the ability to "scarcify" their digital creations. Now it's possible to have a "first edition" version of your digital artwork, music, podcast, or even your blog posts. The NBA has been doing it with video clips of some of their best players, and people seem to love it!We talk about how artists are currently using this new medium and how smaller artists, such as ourselves, could start using it to make some dough. We try to talk about this in a way we haven't heard others talk about, so we hope you enjoy.Please follow us on social media @BWLTPodcast, leave us a glowing review on your preferred listening app, and please tell us what you want to hear!

The future is a wild place. It could be dystopian, utopian, or somewhere in between. One thing is certain though, technology will become outdated and be replaced with newer tech.In this episode we talk about all the parts and pieces of modern life that we think will be replaced by technology in the future. We cover everything from currencies to fast food employees, and everything in between. Of course this is all our speculation, who knows what will actually happen.We also spend a good bit of time trying our hand at making light of recent events, so if you don't like the idea of nothing-off-the-table humor then you very much won't enjoy this one, but tell us what you think!

Have you ever wondered what would happen if your conscious and subconscious could split and meet each other? What kind of conversation would you have with yourself? Would you be afraid? Or maybe a better question, would it be afraid of you? The boys invite Jenny Wood, a long time listener and avid horror fan, to join in on this discussion. We cover topics ranging from favorite horror movies, aspects of horror, how we think we'd act if we could meet our subconscious, and many others. It's been a while since we had a guest in the studio, and man was this one fun to record. If you get the chance, head over to YouTube to check out the video for this one!As always, please rate us and subscribe, and don't be afraid to get in touch on social media @BWLTPodcast!If you're feeling generous please go check out our Buy Me a Coffee at buymeacoffee/huntthecolton

Do you ever get angry? How about often? Well Keith and Colton definitely do. In this episode we talk about anger and how it can be turned around into a somewhat positive driving force if you want it to be.Fair warning though, the first 20 minutes is just about having some fun and trying to be comedic, but it does get serious. At least somewhat. Kinda.No matter what we hope you have fun with this one!

We know what you're thinking, why are we talking about a feel-good children's story featuring a boy and his pet death lizard. Well folks, we wish we were, but unfortunately this story is much more intense than that.Roko's Basilisk is a thought experiment that originated in an online philosophy forum and it presents quite the paradoxical problem for anyone who hears it. If you don't handle existential dread or deep philosophical problems very well, DO NOT LISTEN. Now, Keith and Colton don't really give credence to the idea presented in this experiment, but it is what many people would consider harmful information. You have been warned.The first few minutes of this episode are spent covering our t-shirt orders. If you'd like to see the physical shirt please find us on YouTube and watch the video version of this episode! You all have until Sunday, March 7th to send us a message to order one. Comfort Colors heavyweight t shirt with premium vinyl logo, yeah they're realllll nice.

Today we will dive into the life and influence of one of the greatest horror writers of all time, Howard Phillips Lovecraft.Keith has been a huge fan of H.P. Lovecraft's work for quite some time. We've referenced his work numerous times on this show and will continue to do so. He wasn't a very good person, quite a racist one actually, but he was groundbreaking for the horror genre. We would wager that almost all modern horror exists because of what Lovecraft was able to conjure out of his strange mind.We cover his whole life as well as what we think his influence means to us.We also address some details about our custom shirts. If you want one, please reach out and tell us! The order will be placed soon, we just have to finalize the design and preferred shirt brand.As always, if you enjoyed please leave us a review and get in touch with us on social media @BWLTPodcastIf you're feeling super generous, out Buy Me A Coffee link is buymeacoffee.com/HuntTheColton

This is officially the first successful podcast recording to also have a video with it! We tried to act as normal as possible, but we haven't had much experience with a functioning camera in front of us. Hopefully this still works well on earbuds and speakers, but please swing by Youtube to check out the full video!This episode is a bit different than what we have done in the past. In honor of us getting our camera up and running we decided to do a jelly bean Russian roulette challenge. Basically every 2 minutes for an hour we eat a random jelly bean out of a bowl that is mixed with normal jelly beans and the Beanboozled jelly beans. The Beanboozled ones taste like garbage by the way. We regretted the challenge immediately.We didn't have any specific topics to discuss, but we covered the Gamestop Short Squeeze that happened this week and just caught up with each other over things that have been happening since last year.

Welcome to 2021 everyone, and thank you so much for bringing us along with you. We may have hoped and prayed that this year would be a more relaxed time for us all, but so far it's coming on strong like the twice divorced retired DJ at your local bar. We are only 8 days into this bad-boy and things are still turned up to 11.A wild group of protesters turned rioters took over Capitol Hill on Wednesday and stormed the halls of Congress. The President seemingly pushed them towards it on a crusade to "save our democracy". Now, it doesn't matter whether or not you agree with them, what does matter is they did it and seem like they may be willing to do it again. There is still almost two weeks before the inauguration and who knows what could possibly go down.We've been wanting to have our friend Conlee on the show to talk about the certification of the electoral ballots for a while now, but that was all completely overshadowed by the events that unfolded earlier that day. This is our attempt at understanding what happened, why it happened, and what could possibly come from it.

The vaccine is finally rolling out. Well, there's actually more than one. And neither are completely approved, but it be like that sometimes. In this episode we talk about how we think the new vaccines will impact the music/ entertainment industry as well as other facets of daily life.Billboard wrote a gnarly article making Ticketmaster seem like Germany circa WW2, the FDA has some hard to read documents about the Moderna vaccine, the Pfizer docs are MIA, a new strain has appeared in London, Trump may be contemplating a Martial Law revote in some states, Russia is cyber attacking us, and China wants a moon base. I'm sure we missed some things, but like we said before, 2020 is not going down without a fight.

The title is pretty descriptive, Colton's new puppy sat in the studio for this one. He also watered the studio carpet mid recording. Other than that beautiful mishap, things are going pretty well for us. This episode is more of a short, comedic life update for both Colton and Keith. Colton is starting a 3D print shop, Keith is turning 26 and being forced to buy health insurance. You know, the usual.Things are winding down for December, the year is coming closer to an end. We are both working hard to make it through this year, as we know all of you are too. We hope this comedic episode brings a little light to this stressful holiday season.Also, Colton started a Buy Me A Coffee so if you feel like showing your support for this podcast, please buy us some coffee! https://www.buymeacoffee.com/HuntTheColton

How important is morale to you? Do you think your job has a high or low morale? How does that make you feel? In this episode we dive in to discuss the idea of morale in our personal lives as well as in our professional lives.We also talk about how leadership, either good or bad, can play into the morale in your personal life. Because believe it or not you pick leaders for yourself everyday on social media and we think that does impact your day to day life. So does the leadership you experience in the workplace of course.This episode is largely focused on the minds ability to feel like it's participating in something important and we loved discussing it. Keith leads the charge on this one, so buckle up and get ready for another episode of BWLT at our finest!Oh, and Colton has a puppy now =)

It seems like there are more and more problems with finding people to do reputable work these days. Keith and Colton are trying to get to root of why that is. Colton believes this is a pride issue, as in people (many millennials) aren't taking pride in the work that they're doing. We discuss the potential reasons for this. Is it because we see jobs as transitory in our lives? Is it because we think it ultimately doesn't matter? Follow along as we try to figure it out ourselves, and chime in with what you think as well. In other news we have switched away from Pro Tools to Studio One and life is good. Recording is going smoothly again and we are thrilled. We're looking to get some more guests on for Season 3 so reach out to us on facebook or contact@bigwordlittlethought.com if you would like to get on the show! We can do remote calls as well.We're also looking into live-streaming on YouTube and Facebook so stay tuned! We're growing!

The year is finally tapering off to a close, thank God. We're in the home stretch of 2020, but it's not letting up yet. Have no fear though because Keith and Colton are in this with you and we will do our best to make it funny along the way. We will never abandon you guys

The election went down Tuesday. Well, it should have went down Tuesday, but now it seems like it's turning into election week or maybe even month. We don't know who is going to win and one side is already claiming victory. We can't say we didn't see this coming.No, this isn't just more election coverage. And we try to avoid the boring political talk as much as possible. Instead we focus on the implications of an assumed victory, why we think both sides won't want to accept the opposite side's victory, and most importantly of all we laugh at how insanely dumb this whole thing is.We also talk a bit about the electoral college, our beliefs on who is actually going to win and why we think owning guns is absolutely and objectively stupid. Nothing bad could possibly come from all of this tension and unrest. You guys are paranoid.Also all of our guns were lost or destroyed in boating accidents this month, which is unfortunate =(

HALLOWEEN SPECIAL TIMEWe love Halloween here at Big Word, Little Thought, so this episode is all about Halloween. We cover scary stories, things that scared us when we were kids, and lots of scary movie conversation. We also talk a little about this years COVID Halloween and what we think is going to be happening. SPOILER, Colton is still going to hand out candy.This episode is more freeform and hangout, so grab a beer and join us on this Pre-Halloween Friday.We hope you have a fun and safe Halloween this year! Don't forget to wear a cool mask!

Some things are changing here at Big Word, Little Thought!We're officially condensing each episode into a 45 minute bracket to keep things consistent, we're switching gears into more philosophy and topics of deeper thought. We will do our best to keep the serious political mess to a minimum, we promise. Life is filled with it enough without us engaging in more, so if we do discuss it we will tie it in to our philosophy or comedy thought trains to keep it fresh. And of course our heart's beat with music so that's not going anywhere!Now, this episode is a bit of a rebranding of our approach to podcasting. We're coming back to our philosophy and logic roots by reviewing the ideas in "The Fourth Turning" by William Strauss and Neil Howe. "The Fourth Turning" is a sort of prophetic book written in the late 90's to try and warn the American people of the coming (historically proven) crisis. This crisis was due to climax around 2025, which is basically our current timeframe, and we believe it has. In this episode we try to explain briefly what "Turnings" are and how each generation fits into the mechanical movements of each turning. More importantly we look into the "job" that us Millennials hold during this climactic time in American history as well as how we feel about our generational standing currently. The Boomers, Generation X, and the Millennials all have to work together to maintain balance and ensure that we continue moving forward as a society. What does this mean for the Millennials? How do our morals and values play into our role? The waves of history are constantly lapping at a new generations feet, but now it's our time to be the heroes and help pave the way to the new era of American history. We get deep, but we keep it light when possible. If you enjoy this episode please check out "The Fourth Turning" and "Generations" by the authors William Strauss and Neil Howe, you will love them.

In this episode we return to our roots and talk about the music industry. We talk about what has happened this year, what will likely happen next year, and how we feel about moving forward as artists. It was nice to talk about something not political or doomsday feeling for a change. As always, we hope you enjoy and please leave us a review and a rating!
