That's right, we're talking about the original theme park gone bad, before the Jurassic Parks and the HBOs. So come with us as we talk about this sci fi adventure turned horror starring James Brolin and Yul Brynner playing off his famous cowboy roles!

Bunker down, there's a storm a comin'! In 1996 we saw the rebirth of the modern disaster film with the Steven Spielberg produced, Micheal Crichton penned, Jan De Bont directed Natural Disaster epic “Twister”. But…did you know there was another tornado-centric thriller that came out that year?! Starring Bruce Campbell no less?! Well Ty, Eric and Ben face the storm head on when they discuss 1996's Tornado!

This conversation picks where I'm reminded that Lam had wanted me to tell him about my new writing habits, which I was eager to do because I'd been trying for a while to articulate what I'd been discovering in the past month. Process—when it's working—turns out to be incredibly hard to explain.Most of this new process originates from a small story in a Seth Godin interview where he shares part of Isaac Asimov's own writing process. There are few better places to seek answers on writing than from Asimov who was one of the most prolific authors of all time. In fact, "prolific" may not even be the right word. We may have to invent a new word. Micheal Crichton is prolific, having written 32 books. Above that is the category where you find Stephen King (with approximately 79 books and 200 short stories) and Joyce Carol Oates (with approximately 170 books.) But above them, all sits Isaac Asimov who wrote approximately 400 books!Having myself tried the technique that Godin describes, I can understand why Asimov was able to write that many books. This technique, which I refer to as "freewriting," is a bit like turning on a fire hose. You'll hear me use those exact words with Lam when I tell him how it scared the hell out of me. This is one of the parts that I was having trouble trying to find words for. The others being:how this ties into habit-formingwhy notebook abandoning is so common among writerswhy I was continually busting my ass and achieving so littlewhat I got wrong about what writing ishow it feels for me to be writing againand another big one: the difference between understanding and knowingMentioned MediaNorth Star Podcast — Seth Godin: Writing Every DayWilderness — Jim MorrisonThe ONE Thing: The Surprisingly Simple Truth Behind Extraordinary Results — Gary Keller & Jay PapasanThe Tim Ferriss Show #483 with Jim CollinsFollow Lam on InstagramSubscribe to C.A.’s Substack Get full access to Graphorrhea at cahall.substack.com/subscribe

We titled this from a very small portion of the episode, but if you take nothing else away from listening (or don't listen to this episode at all) just remember that bit. Both Dan and Jerry touch upon ideas they had but DID NOT run with, and someone else did -- and that's why Jurassic Park is by Micheal Crichton and not Jerry Davis. Absinthe-wise, Jerry is still confused about Versinthe. Is/was it absinthe or a pastis? There's conflicting information out there, but regardless Jerry thought it was pretty darn good ... whatever it was. Beside that, the boys talk coffee, gold panning in New York City, anxiety from low absinthe levels, and a beautiful model named Caroline Madison who is half Asian, and has naturally blazing red hair (we featured her as our "absinthe fairy" once, back in 2011). --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/slowdeath/message
