Me Clicking RECord with Dane Curley

Why does Dane's impression of Prince William have a California Surfer Dude accent? You'll just have to listen and learn! This episode asks "Why?" with regard to British Monarchy, and "WTF?" with regard to American Governors treating illegal migrants with cruelty.

Dane reflects on his radical opinion change on Mark Zuckerberg following a recent 3-hour-long interview by the Meta (formerly known as Facebook) CEO.  The future of Augmented Reality and Virtual Reality sound incredibly interesting, in part thanks to Zuck', and Dane's mind turns to how much more interesting video games such as MMORPGs might become!

Not as flawlessly riffed as the regularly numbered episodes, this "bonus" episode features some random thoughts, and then Dane's candid reflections on the situation surrounding the stabbing of Salman Rushdie, including the fact that he had poked fun at the absurd situation of being the subject of a 'fatwa' as recently as 2017. The ep is not journalistic in the least bit, but covers topics such as free speech and the need for sustained self-security in a perpetually insane world, however unfair that may be to the free speakers. We hope Mr. Rushdie survives and recovers to full health.  Support the show

Dane gets invited to the Instagram Reels Bonus Program for comedy, but can't predict which videos IG will show to his followers.

(Karate Combat Season 4 Event 4 was broadcast live on June 25th, 2022 from the Backlot of Universal Studios Florida.) Dane also very briefly ponders the costs of cryptocurrency, fine art, and housing given the market downturn, reminding listeners to "go for bitcoins, not for buttcoins."

Dane Curley demystifies crowd work, explaining "how the sausage is made" by deconstructing two stand up comedy specials: Todd Barry's The Crowd Work Tour and Andrew Schulz's The Crowd Work Special. Each was filmed and performed with a completely different crowd work technique. Dane also tells the story of a recent comedian's meltdown at his show, and moves off to new topics such as The Intelligence of Robots per Michio Kaku, The Reframing of Human History as posited by Daniel Quinn's The Story of B,  and the "Looming" Recession - that - uh - ::checks stocks portfolio:: - aren't we already in?

Dane Curley takes listeners Behind the Scenes of the Underground Stand Up Comedy scene in New York City. What makes the average "Open Mic" such a miserable experience for comedians and guests alike? And what has Dane done to make his own show a Mecca for Brooklyn comics in search of a much more positive experience, and an engaged crowd? Dane reports back on the quirks of his successful live show, titled "Dane Curley's Open Mic Comedy Show" at Freddy's Bar & Backroom in South Slope, Brooklyn, New York City, New York, USA.  It's an interesting episode for anyone interested in stand up comedy at large, and aspiring comedians should pay extra close attention.This episode is brought to you by our Patreon supporters.

Dane Curley riffs on the ~$44B acquisition of Twitter by Elon Musk, whether it has any real bearing on propagating Free Speech around the world, and whether the phrase "Free Speech" actually has any shared or agreed upon meaning in the first place.

It's a rambler, as Dane moves from his appreciation for the brand new Red Hot Chili Peppers album to his continued fascination in outdoors survival, especially in the wake of recent world events. It's a mostly lighthearted episode to work the podcasting-muscles, after concluding a long break for MCREC. Essentially, this episode skims a bunch of topics that might require deeper, more pointed and thoughtful dives in the near future. Enjoy!Support the show (https://www.patreon.com/danecurley)

Episode 43 challenges the narratives of a polarizing American body politic by offering a more reasonable, moderate view on a debate topic that shouldn't have to result in an "Us or Them" answer: Who's right between Neil Young and Joe Rogan? Dane also shares a few reflections on recently meeting so many professional fighters from all corners of the globe.

Dane kicks Episode 42 off by wrongfully referring to it as Episode 41, but otherwise swan dives directly into his target topic: a psychotic result of the Chinese Communist Party's illogical "Zero-Covid Policy" (the unbelievable premise that 100% of all covid viruses could be eliminated across the entirety of China and their properties), the senseless killing of THOUSANDS of innocent Hamsters and small pets by Hong Kong government authorities (so far). It's worth being pissed about, but hopefully Dane presents it to ya' in a way that's not entirely unpleasant - he is desperately trying to entertain you after all.

Dane reads the philosopher Schopenhauer's thoughts on Smart People versus "the pathetic commonplace heads with which the world is crammed," and how that too-heavy-on-the-wrong-side spectrum plays out in societal interactions. Then, he shares Schopy's list of Commonly Held Opinions That Are Wrong (such as Tragedy is more difficult to write than Comedy), sings Talking Heads "Once in a Lifetime," and reads George Carlin's delightfully flowy "Modern Man" monologue. Dane also says "goodbye" at the end of the show, instead of "peace," because he was in a very weird mood today.This episode is brought to you by MCREC's Patreon Supporters.

Thanks to our Callin callers and redditers for the fantastic dialogue! Enjoy the replay, and enjoy The Many Saints of Newark, in theaters Oct 1.

Remembering that he's a SciFi writer, and being very excited by the forthcoming sequel, Dane devotes an entire MCREC episode to The #MATRIX. Dane explains his theory that The Matrix extends to Zion, citing Morpheus's last words in the original trilogy: "Is this real?" and other important clues. He also shares Lana Wachowski's genuinely great motives for making another film in the series (not just a cash grab) and does his very best acting job as Agent Smith to relive some of Hugo Weaving's best monologues.Support the show (https://www.patreon.com/danecurley)

After a very comedic first-half (loaded with madness and voices), Dane, a self-proclaimed "left-libertarian," continues his attempt to pluck a cancer out from his own side of the aisle. He reads an excerpt from The Economist's new series "The Illiberal Left," shares his disdain for the Language Police, and asks members of both political wings to attack authoritarianism from within their own camps. PS: Giving "woke corporations" control of our language rights... what could go wrong?Support the show (https://www.patreon.com/danecurley)

Dane realizes that the state of Boxing, where old has-beens fight older has-beens, and where YouTube celebrities fight washed up MMA fighters, proves that humanity is worthless. Only after recording did the perfect title for this episode come to mind: Idiocracy Comes to Boxing. Fitting, as former president Donald Trump will provide ringside commentary on September 11th for Evander Holyfield (58-years-old boxer) versus Vitor Belfort (44-years-old, MMA fighter).

Dane explores a handful of cutting-edge Psychedelic Therapy offerings and looks at what other Psychedelic Prescription Drug companies entering the LEGAL market are doing. Get some laughs with your facts! As psychedelics go mainstream, and gen pop interest in therapies gains momentum, it's important to be aware of the contraindications to treatment... but also to know that even for those who are presently contraindicated (they cannot undergo psychedelic therapy), help may soon be on the way.

Extraterrestrials: Unscripted, just how you like them. Dane makes his way through a few Arthur C. Clarke scifi-novel recommendations as he considers their possibly real alien counterparts, exploring two prominent encounters humans have had in recent years. He talks about the 2004 'Tic Tac' UFO sighting that predated and possibly inspired the latest Pentagon UFO Report, and of Oumuamua, which has at least one Harvard astronomer-physicist convinced. Are they truly extraterrestrial in origin? How can we know for sure? Along the way, Dane engages in several ridiculous comic voices and even attempts - badly - to sing a random Steven Tyler song that came to mind somewhere along his riff. On the more intelligent side of things, he also considers the military technology angle for one such UFO. Thanks to Patreon-supporter Marina for the topic suggestion!

As with most of MCREC's Songs of the Day to Check Out, he sings it and talks about its lyrics in depth. As this episode does not have the usual joyful candor of most MCREC episodes, and deals with themes of grief and loss, Dane decided it should be branded a "Bonus" episode.Thanks to our patreon subscribers for funding this podcast.

Holy human-cow! It's the longest episode of Me Clicking RECord, yet! It's Part Deux of MCREC's discussion on Human-Animal Hybrids, and we're focusing on how to satisfy the criteria for having a Soul. Dane talks about the hesitancy of mainstream media to report on human-animal hybrid experimentation, shares a surprisingly accurate article from infamous conspiracy theorist Alex Jones's "Prison Planet" publication, follows up with NPR's take on the same subject, discusses one of the best Star Trek episodes of all time (regarding the nature of what beings have souls), reminisces about doggies, speaks out against the Communist Party of China's organ harvesting of (Falun Gong) political prisoners, and much, much more. It's a far-reaching conversation that covers a wide, wide range of interesting concepts, bizarre & scary facts, and ultimately aims toward generating more compassion in the world.

Dane covers the speculative markets of Pokemon & Magic the Gathering cards, as well as Bitcoin, before moving on (about half-way in) to discuss the Capitol Riots. Thereafter he talks about Donald Trump's banning from social media and other Refusals of Service directed at the Trump campaign and family (forgetting actually to mention that the PGA Tour cancelled their stint at his course). That introduces a discussion of Free Enterprise vs Free Speech, and the Paradox of Universal Freedom.

In October, 1973, WBAI radio in New York City aired legendary comedian George Carlin's "Seven Dirty Words" at around 2:00PM. A complaint was lodged by a listener, and the results of that complaint took the radio station (Pacifica Foundation) all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court in 1978. Years later in 1985, 22 individuals who called themselves the Parents Music Resource Center leveraged their disproportionate political power to challenge free enterprise in the music industry. Dane shares speeches by John Denver and Frank Zappa, and provides all the context surrounding these events, and how they lead to the present reduction of our 1st Amendment rights and greenlit situations of "limited Free Speech." His Song of the Day to Check Out is John Denver's "Rocky Mountain High."Note: George Carlin's "Seven Words You Can Never Say On Television" are now a preserved work in the Library of Congress's National Registry, along with the rest of his fantastic 1972 album Class Clown.This episode of MCREC, as well as my free story, "How To Get a Head in Life," now on MEDIUM, are brought to you by my Patreon patrons.Support the show (https://www.patreon.com/danecurley)

This episode shares "the essential realizations" of Carl G. Jung's Symbols of Transformation, a work that has great practical value for everyone living. He tries to answer the questions, "What did Jung think?" & "Why is it good to think it?" Dane touches upon why Jung remains counterculture, and shares the man's major Not-Freudian theories in fun ways that skirt the need for dedicated hours of study. And so, this podcast leverages more popular & digestible works such as The Portable Jung, Inner Work, The Hero with a Thousand Faces, and We've Had 100 Years of Psychotherapy and the World is Getting Worse, rather than primary materials from the Collected Works of Jung, which most readers find unapproachable. (Dane's read many of those, too, but they don't make for great podcasting!) Enjoy.Support the show (https://www.patreon.com/danecurley)

This episode focuses on music, with a documentary-like breakdown of a very famous Dire Straits song. Dane talks about how attention-to-detail is the key component of High-Fidelity (HiFi) audio recordings, and explains the difference between audiophile quality and crapola. It features the unedited lyrics of a song that aired censored (an entire verse was missing from the MTV version), and explains how/why authors/writers use authentic language in their work.

Whether you refer to the indigenous peoples of the Americas as Native Americans or American Indians, they sure have taken part in some incredibly interesting moments in history. We discuss the good/evil debate, and the politicization of thoughts, surrounding Anti-Colonialism/Colonialism, learn about the Sioux Wars versus the United States in the 1800s, and discuss both over and under-romanticizations of the Aztec Empire in its bid to survive against the Spanish Empire.
