We dip into the archives for another "Best of Str8Love" episode to see if it still stands the test of time. An addiction to love is no joke. Romantic love, in particular, can be so powerful that it can be all-consuming, since falling in love elicits such strong emotions and feelings of desire.A 2016 study compared brain scans of people with drug addictions and people who identified as having “love addictions” and found that both addictions similarly engaged regions of the brain's reward system, specifically dopamine-rich regions.Don't believe us?

Isn't believing in nothing still believing in something? Where's an atheist when you need one? From the lessons of the universe to the theory of happenstance existence, and some dialogue on men's mental health - there could be a little bit for everyone in this one.
We were absolutely thrilled to share our virtual podcast studio with the brilliant mind behind the Dudesy podcast, Mr. Chad Kultgen. This was a short, but fascinating conversation that covers the future of Artificial Intelligence, and how we should all be preparing to be governed by an all knowing all powerful AI God. Will our souls be safe at least?Check out Chad's Dudesy Podcast and follow him on Instagram - @ChadKultgen
DP asks Artificial Intelligence to predict what kind of impact the Str8Love podcast will have on the world in 10 years. It involves K-pop, Furry's, Bohemian Grove and cathartic laughter.You gotta hear it to believe it.
Maybe the way to be being understood is not to ask, "do you understand what I'm saying?", but to say, "can you help me understand what you're hearing?". Derrick also shares what he wants his funeral to look like. He's thought it through.
Jim shares an article about how mastering meditative powers can significantly increase your immune system. Then the Str8Love Lads talk about the silent stress killer, and how eating animal fear might be doing more harm than good.
Is there meaning behind Meaning?We speak on how a greater, larger, more impactful focus in our lives might fill the confusing voids we feel throughout life (maybe). Faith, belief, spirituality; should we have it in our lives? Should it be taught in schools? Is it the missing piece that most of us didn't know we were missing? And, if you had one wish, what would it be? Probably to have turned this episode off around minute twenty-three. :)
DP gets serious and shares how Jim inspired him to get angry at the person who was purposefully preventing him from becoming the strongest version of himself.The power of controlled anger is unparallaled. "It is better to be a warrior in a garden, than a gardener in a war" - Miyamoto Musashi
In this episode, we dig into the fascinating phenomenon of the chatter of the mind; something that's largely viewed in a negative context - and, that can often impact us in not the best ways. Tune in for some tips, tricks and tools on how to take your focus back and harness the power of the mind.
DP spills the tea on how he is now officially shooting blanks after going under the knife to get his testicles removed (at least I think that's what a Vasectomy does). The lads also ramble about the stereotypical ways to punch your man card, and recount a lovely tale about a guy named Percy who traveled across Canada to run away from himself.
What does Arnold Schwarzenegger have to do with Shadow Work? We wouldn't have guessed anything, either. But, we pull it all together in this episode about your inner self, repressed emotions, the seemingly true lies we tell ourselves and some tools on how to terminate what isn't serving you. We'll be back. Every second Thursday. :I
Join the Str8Love lads this week as we wrap up our 4 part series on the 8 Different Types of Love According to the Ancient Greeks.
The title says it all....another episode about, you guessed it, love.
The Str8Love Lads linguistically lavish your ears with tails from their most recent Crystal Sound Bath Meditation experience with Alex and Alex from Aromansse. Then they pick up where they left off in their four part series about the 8 Different Types of Love According to the Ancient Greeks.
The first of a series, we talk about the eight different kinds of Love theorized by the ancient Greeks.
Jimmy kicks things off by sharing the intimate details behind a fictional character he created as a young lad. This is followed up with an enlightening conversation about all the different kinds of Love, before our new producer Kevin send us off into the sunset.
