It's time to say goodbye to 2024 with our Bunkerpoon International holiday celebration, where we will be waxing nostalgic on this year's episodes and simultaneously ripping holes in the “space time continuum” whilst checking out some highlights and indulging in our own “Pepperidge Farm moments” of metal infused lunacy.    Remember to “expect the worst & hope for the best” whenever consuming a “vegetable shake” and understand that being called a “handsome woman” is flattering, “doppelgangers” are eerily unsettling, and our “Spotify Wrapped” referenced one episode that was “508% more” impressive than average.

In this episode, I dive into the pros and cons of popular sober-challenge months like Sober October, Dry January, and Dry July. I share my personal journey, including vulnerable stories of how I finally succeeded (kinda!) during Dry January 2020, which led to lasting change. Before that, my Dry Januarys and Dry Julys, I was just counting down the days until I could drink again. I emphasize that “time doesn't heal all, it's what you do with that time.” The key is using these 30 days to change your beliefs around alcohol, not just temporarily removing it. I explain how delving into personal development, fitness, nutrition, and entrepreneurship helped me shift my mindset and build new habits. Ultimately, I encourage listeners to extend their sober experience beyond just a month to make real, lasting changes. Listen in for practical insights on transforming your approach to sobriety, not just surviving it. #SoberLifestyle #MindfulSobriety #LastingChange

#258 LED ZEPPELIN IV - Album Dive

Metal Nerdery

Play Episode Listen Later Aug 1, 2024 86:12


Imagine being in a record store, just flipping through the LED ZEPPELIN section of albums on November 8, 1971, and finding an album that appeared unfamiliar, mysterious, and perhaps even a bit out of place. The album cover gave no reference as to the band's name or any discernible album title, the back cover had no track listing, there were no pictures of the band.    There was nothing.    On the front cover, there is nothing more than a framed picture showing an old, bearded man standing with a cane and carrying a large bundle of sticks on his back, hanging on the weathered wall of a semi-demolished home once belonging to someone who has long since passed away. On the back cover, a high-rise apartment building jutting into the bleak, grey sky, surrounded by smaller apartment homes and lush greenery in the foreground. On the spine of the album, where one would expect to see the name of the band and the name of the album, there were only four distinct, unusual symbols. In time, it would come to be known by many names:  RUNES, ZOSO, UNTITLED, and the most common name of them all, LED ZEPPELIN IV, which would go on to become the biggest selling album in the band's catalog and one of the top 10 biggest selling albums in the history of ALL music.   Get ready to “have a good August” and remember that “sometimes words have 12 meanings” because it's time to take “Dry July” a step further and step up your “pause game” while we share some kind words regarding our neighbors that were likely caused by a case of “Alabama jet lag”.  Discover the only other thing that was missing from Gojira's historic performance at the Olympic opening ceremonies other than “dragons and more fire”, understand the real reason why we ALL had to learn to play “the recorder” in elementary school, and JOIN US as we pay tribute to the sonic “transmogrification” of LED ZEPPELIN and dive into the enigmatic mystery that is their 4th (and otherwise “Untitled”) album, LED ZEPPELIN IV.     Visit www.metalnerdery.com/podcast for more on this episode ZEPPELIN on the InterWebs https://www.ledzeppelin.com/   Help Support Metal Nerdery https://www.patreon.com/metalnerderypodcast Leave us a Voicemail to be played on a future episode: 980-666-8182 Metal Nerdery Tees and Hoodies – metalnerdery.com/merch and kindly leave us a review and/or rating on the iTunes/Apple Podcasts - Spotify or your favorite Podcast app Listen on iTunes, Spotify, Podbean, or wherever you get your Podcasts.

In honor of dry July, Karolina is debunking the most common myths and objections about going alcohol-free. What if everything you believed about "normal drinking" was a lie? Society puts "normal drinking" on a pedestal: the cultured person who enjoys just one glass of wine over a nice dinner. But is this achievable or even desirable?  It turns out that 60% of regular drinkers overdrink, and it's also been proven that 40% to 50% of our drinking is underreported. And drinking doesn't feel good - would you rather be someone who drinks normally and never gets the wake up call? Or would you rather be a person who gets the negative consequence, reevaluates alcohol, and wakes up to the life you were really supposed to live? When you join Karolina's 22-day Dry Bootcamp, you'll learn how to relax and have fun without alcohol, build a sustainable, alcohol-free lifestyle, and discover your deeper why. Plus, you'll get all the guides, rituals, and meditations to help you connect to your higher self. We start August 6th. Sign up for just $59! IN THIS EPISODE: Why "normal drinking" is actually a myth and why what society views as normal is often an unhealthy illusion The majority of people underreport their alcohol consumption by 40% to 50% (!), plus, what this means for your perceptions of "moderate" drinking How intuition and listening to your body's signals will shift you into greater confidence, courage, and purpose The REAL impact of even a single drink on your body (think disrupted sleep cycles and metabolic changes!) A sneak peek into Karolina's 22-day Dry Bootcamp, which starts August 6th. Break free from alcohol and align with your highest self.    LINKS/RESOURCES MENTIONED: Dry Bootcamp starts August 6th! If you're ready for a life-changing break from alcohol, this program will inspire you to reevaluate alcohol through daily lessons and an immersive community. Sign up now for just $59!

Not remembering how we went to bed becomes a normal experience, but it is not normal. We get drunk, eventually end up in bed, only to jolt awake around 3am. After the panic passes, we realize we've done it again. We got way too drunk and can't remember the end of the night. This realization is followed by shame and anxiety, which likely continues into the next day before we repeat the process. The 3am wake up of shame was something I did a few times a week. I would force myself to stay awake until 6 as punishment for drinking too much, so my day could become even worse. There are 3 factors that go into this- how alcohol affects our sleep, how alcohol affects the central nervous system, and how alcohol affects the heart. I will cover all 3.

In this episode you'll learn about why we have withdrawal symptoms and how alcohol impacts the central nervous system. Then I will focus on kindling and how withdrawal can become worse the more cycles we go through, and how returning to drinking during the withdrawal period puts stress on the brain and strengthens the associations we have with alcohol leading to more intense cravings the next time we try to quit.
