The Peasant Soldier: More Than Just a FarmerThe average Anglo-Saxon peasant soldier was not a full time warrior but a member of the Fyrd—a militia of free men called upon in times of war. This system allowed the king or local lords to summon able-bodied men from the countryside to bolster the ranks of professional warriors, known as thegns and housecarls. Though not career fighters, these men were not entirely unfamiliar with combat.The Fyrd was composed primarily of ceorls—free peasants who owed military service to their local lord or king. Each ceorl was required to provide his own weapons and equipment, meaning the quality of arms and armor varied significantly. Some wealthier peasants might have chainmail, but most went into battle with little more than a sturdy tunic, a wooden shield, and a spear.Weaponry: Fighting with What They HadUnlike the well-equipped housecarls, peasant soldiers in the Fyrd carried weapons they could afford or were provided by their lords. The typical armaments included:Spears – The most common weapon, cheap to produce and easy to use. It allowed a peasant to keep enemies at a distance and was vital in shield-wall formations.Seaxes (short swords or long knives) – These were sidearms, useful in close combat when formations broke apart.Wooden shields – Often round, reinforced with a metal boss at the center. A critical piece of equipment, both for protection and for forming the defensive shield wall.Axes and agricultural tools – Some wielded heavier axes, while others repurposed farming tools like sickles or pitchforks in desperate times.Projectile weapons – Though longbows were not yet prominent in England, slings and throwing axes were sometimes used, though these were not the primary weapons of the Fyrd.The Shield Wall: A Peasant's Best DefenseOne of the most important formations in Anglo-Saxon warfare was the shield wall. The peasant soldiers of the Fyrd were crucial in its formation, standing shoulder to shoulder with shields locked tightly together to create an almost impenetrable barrier. Behind this wall, spearmen could thrust forward, making it difficult for enemy forces to break through.

How To Play New Edo, a tabletop roleplaying game. Transcript: Hello! I'm the GM for an upcoming episode of Firebreathing Kittens. I'll be running using the gameplay mechanics from a game called NewEdo, a Neon Samurai role-playing game. This is a rules discussion episode meant to help teach my players and any listeners the basic mechanics of NewEdo so it's easier to begin playing. I'll be going over two main topics. The first topic is character creation, where I'll discuss Paths, Lineages, and the Priority Buy System, that's B-U-Y buy, with its five associated Priority Abilities. I'll explain starting equipment and cash at the end of this topic. The second topic is gameplay mechanics. Since NewEdo is a 300 page rulebook, I won't have time to go over every single mechanic, but I will go over mechanics that pertain to some of the characters playing in my upcoming episode, as well as common mechanics used in most TRPGs. I'll also discuss Legend and Fate, two important mechanics that are exclusive to NewEdo. With that said, I'll begin discussing character creation, starting with Paths and Lineages. Paths A Path is similar to a class, but instead of defining your character's archetype going forward, it sets up your character's purpose with some starting features and equipment, allowing you to build yourself however you want. You can decide which Path best suits you and what it provides starting on page 72. Lineages A Lineage is what would be considered a race in other TRPGs. With the exception of Hisanaka, you have unrestricted access to all Lineages, each with two Cultures to choose from, providing unique gameplay differences. Hisanaka is a special Lineage only available with a Priority A Ranking in Augmentations, and has no special Culture. Lineages are found starting on page 132. The Priority Buy System After deciding your Path and Lineage, you need to decide what order you prioritize your Priority Abilities. You have five Priority Abilities to consider: ● Backgrounds ● Magic ● Augmentations ● Skills ● and Core Traits You must assign Ranks A through E (highest to lowest) between these five Priority Abilities in order to determine your character building resources. Refer to the Priority Buy Resource Allocation Table on page 58 to know what you get at each Rank. Backgrounds Backgrounds are associated with your character's backstory and grant certain benefits. There are five Backgrounds you can invest points into: ● Contacts ● Followers ● Soul ● Status ● and Wealth You can study up on what each Background provides at each Rank starting on page 144. Refer to the Background Score to Rank table on the same page to know how many points are needed to increase your Rank. All Backgrounds begin with 1 point each, and no Background may be higher than 61 at character creation. Magic Depending on your Path, Lineage, and Priority Rank, you can gain access to Magic. If you're looking for a Path with access to multiple spells, called Rotes in this system, choose Shugonshi. If you just need a single Rote, such as an attack or heal, look through TIer Zero through Three for an appropriate Rote, then choose D through A for a Magic Priority Rank that gives you access to the Rote you chose. Keep in mind the Casting Skill associated with each Rote, as you need to roll that Skill plus Shinpi Rank to cast. When you gain access to Magic through methods mentioned earlier, you should receive a bonus amount of Shinpi. Shinpi is a special Core Trait that, unlike other Core Traits, begins at zero instead of ten. You'll need to raise your Shinpi Rank through bonuses mentioned previously and Trait points received from Priority Buy in order to cast Magic effectively. If you happen to choose the Shugonshi Path, Awakened Kitsune Lineage, or Priority A Magic, you gain access to a Mikata Kami. You can choose any Kami you have access to and gain the associated Mikata Kami bonus. A Mikata Kami is also a pet with its own character sheet. For more details, read pg. 268 through 274. Augmentations Each Augmentation, or Aug, has a Noise Rating and Biofeedback Percentage. The points from the Priority Buy System are spent on the combined Noise Ratings of each Aug you get. If you increase an Aug's Rank, you multiply the Noise cost by the Aug's Rank. You need to have enough Core Trait points to install any Augs. If the combined Noise of a single Trait from all Augs exceeds the associated Trait, you can't install anymore with that Trait. For any leftover points, you can spend four points for a permanent 1d4 bonus to any Skill. This doesn't count as a Skill Rank; rather it's an external bonus to those Skill rolls. Any other leftover points may be added to the Wealth Background one for one. Biofeedback Percentage is added to the Fate Card for each Aug you gain. Keep in mind the percentage does not multiply with each Aug Rank. So if you install a Rank 5 Aug with 1% Biofeedback, it's still 1%. Skills The list of Skills starts on pg. 191. You have a certain amount of dice to spend on Skills called Focus. You're limited to three Focus per Skill at character creation. Each Focus you put into a Skill increases that Skill's Rank, which may grant a bonus. Bonuses can be found under each Skill's description. Traits There are seven Core Traits to choose from: ● Heart ● Power ● Reflex ● Presence ● Perception ● Savvy ● and Shinpi Each of them, except Shinpi, begin with ten points. Shinpi begins with zero. For every ten points in a Trait, you gain a d10 to all associated checks. You can only invest up to 15 points in any Trait, though bonuses from things like Lineage and Backgrounds don't count towards this limit. At the end of character creation, your highest Trait becomes your starting Legend Score. There are also four Derived Traits that are affected by the previously mentioned Core Traits: ● Resolve ● Move ● Initiative ● and Defence Starting Equipment and Cash You gain basic starting equipment from your Path. The Path descriptions each include a note on starting equipment, and all of them grant at least one weapon. That weapon, and any other items, will be described only by its Quality rating. You can look up item qualities on the tables in Chapter 13 starting on pg. 233. In addition, you start with cash equal to a Wealth roll, 1d10 per Rank in the Background, times 100. That wraps up Character Creation. I'll now begin going over various combat mechanics that my players and I will be using in our upcoming session. Again, this won't be a list of every mechanic in the 300 page rulebook, but I'll be going over some universal actions and their mechanics in NewEdo. I'll end with an explanation of this system's unique Legend and Fate mechanics. Movement One of the first things everyone needs to understand in any TRPG is movement. In NewEdo, your Move determines how many metres you can shift per turn. Move is equal to your Reflex and Heart Trait divided by your Size rounded up. Moving takes up a Move Action, which is one of three types of actions a character can make on their turn. The three types of actions are: ● Move Action ● Quick Action ● and Full Action You can make one of each of these actions per turn. As I mentioned earlier, moving uses up a Move Action, however there may be other actions that specify using a Move Action other than just moving, such as Taking Aim or driving a vehicle. Attacking Another common mechanic in any TRPG is attacking. An attack is usually a Full Action, but can also be a Quick Action in some cases. Two common types of attacks are Melee and Projectile. I'll explain the mechanics of each. ● Melee Attacks are made by rolling Power plus the appropriate weapon Skill, and your Target Number is your opponent's Defence. ● Projectile Attacks are made by rolling Perception plus the appropriate weapon Skill, and your Target Number is your opponent's Size multiplied by your weapon's Range Modifier. ○ You may call Raises before attacking to increase damage. Each Raise adds five to your Target Number, but increases the weapon's damage by 1d10. After hitting with an attack, you need to roll for damage. Here's what you need to roll: ● For Melee, roll Power plus the weapon's damage dice. ● For Projectile, roll the weapon's damage dice. Remember to add any d10's from Raises. Taking Aim, Advantages, and Disadvantages When setting up for a Projectile Attack, you can use your Move Action to Take Aim in order to gain an Advantage. An Advantage is simply an extra d10 added to a roll, one that can explode like a Trait dice. A Disadvantage is the opposite, removing a d10 from a roll. If there are no d10's remaining, you remove the highest dice instead. Advantages and Disadvantages come up in many different scenarios, and can cancel each other out if both are present. Taking Aim is one of the most common ways to gain an advantage in combat. Rolling Skill Checks To determine what dice you roll during an attack or skill check, you need to check the appropriate Trait and Skill. For your Trait, the tens place of your Trait determines how many d10 you can roll for the check. Keep in mind that d10's explode, meaning that if you roll a ten, you can re-roll that dice and add the next result to the total. After determining how many d10's from your Trait, add the Focus Dice from the appropriate Skill. These dice can range from a d4 to d12, but they don't explode on rolling max. The Target Number of non combat related skill checks is determined by the GM based on the difficulty. A Sample Contest Target Number table can be found on pg. 212. Casting Magic Similar to attacks and skill checks, casting magic also uses a Trait and Skill. All Rotes use Shinpi as its Trait, and with the exception of the four Common Rotes, all Rotes have an associated Skill that is rolled when casting. For example, the Soothe Rote uses the Meditation Skill, so if you plan on using Soothe, it's recommended you also have training in Meditation. You can find a list of all Rotes starting on pg. 158. Each Rote lists the following: ● Name ● Action ● Target Number ● Legend Cost ● Range ● Duration ● Casting Skill ● and a Description Restoring Legend If you find yourself casting a lot of magic and running out of Temporary Legend, you can use your Followers Background to restore some lost Legend Points. Rolling for Followers takes a Full Action, and you roll d10's equal to your Followers Rank. You can roll Followers once per session. Stealth To make an attempt at Stealth, there must be some reasonable chance of you not being seen: darkness, fog, a distraction, someone or something blocking sight of you. You don't necessarily need to know where your (potential) observers are to attempt Stealth, but if you're able to scout out all observers (guards, cameras, etc.) prior to or during your Stealth attempt, you gain Advantage on subsequent Stealth rolls. A Stealth roll is made as an Opposed Contest, where the character attempting Stealth rolls Reflex plus the Stealth Skill against any opponent's passive or active Perception. Passive Perception is a Free Action, rolled using only Perception, and is for situations where no one's actively watching. Active Perception is a Quick Action Interrupt, rolled using either Perception plus Survival or Perception plus Investigation. While in Stealth, you may only move at half your Move speed and must end your turn obscured or hidden in some way, or you immediately lose Stealth. If you dash across an open space while in Stealth, you may become Exposed if any observers catch sight of you. Cover Cover can only protect you from Ranged attacks. There are three types of Cover: ● No Cover: Protects less than 30% of your body. Provides no bonuses. ● Half Cover: Protects between 30 to 95% of your body. Ranged Attacks against you have Disadvantage. ● Full Cover: Only 5% of your body is exposed. You can't be targeted by Ranged Attacks barring a few exceptions. With some of the basic mechanics out of the way, I'd like to focus on some specific Skills that certain players for my upcoming game have chosen. There are 37 different Skills to choose in NewEdo, so this is only a small fraction of what's available. Dodge Dodge is a unique Skill that adds to a character's Defence against Melee Attacks. An invaluable Skill for an up close and personal fighter. At Rank 3, you can start Dodging Projectile Attacks. Dodging is a Quick Action Interrupt, so it's useful in conjunction with moving and acting while being attacked. Perfect for a martial fighter or ninja. Banter A fun social Skill that uses the Reflex Trait. Banter is used to steer a conversation with multiple people, helping or hindering others. At Ranks 2 and 3, you gain the Abilities Chime In and Burn, which allow you to make a Quick Action Interrupt to either add or subtract your Banter Roll from someone else's Social Roll. Athletics Like in most TRPG's, Athletics is your physical prowess in running, jumping, climbing, swimming, etc. In NewEdo, you unlock some special bonuses at later Ranks. At Rank 2, your Climb, Swim, and Lifting modifiers all increased. At Rank 3, you gain Tumble, an ability that allows you to reduce falling damage by the amount rolled from an Athletics Check. Unarmed Unarmed is your ability to fight without a weapon. It increases your ability to Grapple, and quickly increases damage to unarmed attack early on at Ranks 1 and 2. At Rank 3, you gain the ability to call Raises with unarmed attacks, a mechanic usually reserved to Projectile Attacks. Tactics Tactics checks are made right before the beginning of a fight. The leaders of both squads roll Savvy plus Tactics plus 1d10 for every active teammate to determine who's superior. The losing team begins combat Demoralized, a status condition that reduces their Initiative and Resolve by 5 each, and they can no longer take Quick Action Interrupt Attacks against Exposed targets. If you need to look up other Skills and what bonuses you get at each rank, begin on pg. 191. I'll finish things up by going over two of NewEdo's unique mechanics: Legend and Fate. Legend Legend is your character's overall power level, and measures how “Legendary” you are in the world. At a certain Legend ranking, your Path is increased, giving you new abilities. In addition to acting as your power level, it also fuels a resource known as Temporary Legend. Your Temporary Legend is restored between sessions, and it's used to cast Rotes and activate certain abilities, usually from Skill Ranks. It also acts as a last ditch HP Pool, known as Burning Legend. If you take damage past zero, you begin burning through Temporary Legend. Once all of your HP and Temporary Legend are depleted, you die for good. Fate Every character has a Fate Card, which acts as a personal random d100 roll chart. There are many things you can add to your Fate Card that come from character creation. You can roll for Fate once per turn, unless otherwise specified, to gamble for good fortune versus bad luck. When rolling for Fate, it's important to remember you can only roll when there are stakes, and only before you roll for a normal check. If you roll a Critical Success, you automatically succeed. Rolling a Botch means you automatically fail. And that concludes this episode of Rules Explanation for NewEdo! I hope that my players can use this to help prepare them for their upcoming game, but it should be noted that there's much more to learn than what was mentioned here. I encourage my players and anyone else listening to read up on more of the rules, especially those that pertain to your character. This is a large game, so it'll require a lot of trial and error, even for veterans like myself, however this system holds a lot of potential for detailed character development, tactical combat, and immersive storytelling.

Welcome to episode 204. Today's episode, you're going to hear from Bethany Braun Silva, who interviewed me on Fertile Imagination's launch day on Halloween. Bethany is the author of Like a Mother, Banish Guilt, Blaze Your Trail, and Break the Rules to Create a Life You Love. It's amazing to be interviewed by a fellow mom, author, and New Yorker. We discussed how watching our moms go first really informed how we, and what we thought we were capable of as moms. I wanted to just share this. So this episode is brought to you by my book, fertile imagination, which actually hit number one, Amazon bestseller in two categories. motherhood and women in business. It's available right now and it makes for the perfect gift. Shop/gift/review - Fertile Imagination: https://amzn.to/3F6AgMu If you enjoy this episode then tell me on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/melissallarena/ TRANSCRIPT So quick napkin math. Here's the statistics. Reviews on Amazon matter and when they show up matters even more. Right now, the books that Amazon will share with anyone online. Need to have at least 100 Amazon reviews. So two to three sentences that share your opinion about the actual book. So imagine this every month, 197 million users log on to Amazon each day, 6. 7 million users log on to Amazon. And if I had to just guess, I would say maybe 3 million moms log into Amazon every single day. What if today? 3 million moms would have seen Fertile Imagination, my book, as a recommended product. For that to happen, we need 100 written out Amazon reviews. So each day that I am not at that 100 number, that means that there's 3 million missed opportunities to suggest to a mom, a tired mom, a mom who doesn't believe in herself, a mom who needs some inspiration. to actually have seen fertile imagination in her list of recommended products to add to her shopping cart. I'm all about encouraging moms on how to think for themselves in terms of the changes that they want to see in their lives, in their homes, and in the world. Could you imagine if 3 million moms today saw the book fertile imagination, which maps out exactly how to go about making a maximum impact based on your unique heart's desire? That's what we're going for. And I need your help. So as you listen to this conversation, I would love your support in taking your cell phone, going to Amazon, selecting fertile imagination, and then scrolling down and just left clicking on write a review. That's if you actually shop the book, if you having it shop the book, then listen to this review right now. And it's available on Amazon. So it says, As someone who is and advocates for moms, it's sometimes difficult to spark moms to be inspired by themselves. In Fertile Imagination, Melissa not only reminds moms we're inspiring, but provides the tools, anecdotes, and encouragement to get us moving towards what's important. Changing the world by nurturing the inner genius we each possess. As I turned the pages, I was reminded of many dreams I placed aside and recommitted to move toward action. Bravo. That is the sort of message that I would love moms to be able to listen to, hear and absorb and activate in their lives. Enjoy the conversation with Bethany Braun Silva. Tell me about why you launched today. Like, what was it about you and Halloween and launching your book? Yeah, so Halloween is the day that, as a little girl, I don't know for anyone else that's like an 80s kid or whatever, but there was a Halloween that I was like Madonna, I was Funky Bruiser, I was Turbo Shortcake with the plastic like mask. And that was the day I got to be anything I wanted to be. You could be anything you want to be. And when I was writing the book, Fertile Imagination, I was thinking to myself, I was like, what? Like we're moms and we actually get to play that role in our own unique way. We can be. any kind of mom that we wish to be and today is a day that like it's almost like permission to be weird literally one of the chapter names of my book so as we see kids out there like dressing up in like these like very random like gnome or Fall guys or whatever sort of costumes. It's like, well, what about us? What about us moms? Right. We're like the ones that are making these days, these moments so special. And part of that is the vision that we have for the childhood. We want to provide for our kids. Like it's our vision for other people. And so the book is about, well, what's your vision. As what would you like to imagine more of in your life, in this world, in your community? And so for me, it's kind of like, okay, well, obviously it would have been obvious, right? Launch on Mother's Day. Like, it makes sense. But for me, I was like, nah, I want to do things differently. Like that's just not creative enough for me. It's like, no Halloween. Let's do it today. Let's help moms rediscover our imagination. Cause we're in that mind frame for our kids. Today. I mean, there's some crazy imaginative costumes I've seen out there. So. Yeah. For me, it made sense. I love that. I love that. That's really what I'm all about, too. Like, like rediscovering ourselves, pursuing our passions, being like unapologetic about it. That's also why we connected, I think, so much, too. Like, we're very aligned with, with those things. Like, we're moms, but like, we have our own stuff happening here. Yeah, absolutely. And I think we go first. Like I feel when I'm sure through your conversations and like through my conversations, you're talking to moms and like we want so much for our kids. But the interesting part, it's like, well, how are they going to get what they want if we don't feel like we have what we want yet? Like, right. Are we skipping something like Yeah. Like we've got to like lay the path, like show them, okay, this is what it looks like to move forward and then fall down and then get back up. This is what it looks like to like try doing things in one way and then trying a whole different way. And I think That's part of the, the, the idea in terms of the book. I think it's really about showing my kids. Mommy did it. Mommy did it and mommy did it and you can do it and you could do even better. What I mean, because this is where, this is where I left off. So here you go. Yeah. I love that. And actually, yeah, I shared that yesterday on my Instagram when you commented, because like, I, I kind of like followed a dream and a passion, like. When I was pregnant, like I was like, it sort of all started to like align for me then and I was 26 years old and that's young, but it wasn't like young to go into this to like journalism, right? Like I was like a 26 year old pregnant intern. There was like, I fought against a lot of that. But then now when I look at what I've done and like seeing myself through my kids eyes, it really is. So fulfilling in that way. Like my kids know that they can do anything at any time. Like it doesn't have to be on anyone's timeline because I did it late or push myself through like in a, in not in a nontraditional timeline. So I love that I'm showing I'm like that example for them too. Absolutely. And in the book, I actually interviewed, so it's kind of like a funny story, but I'll save that for the book. Basically, my former landlord happened to have been also a Senator and House of Representative for New Hampshire, Martha Hennessey, and she's so badass, I will say, which is why I featured her in the book. But is it too late for anything? Well, Martha proves us Totally like, no, there's nothing that you want on your heart that it's too late for, like she retired quote unquote, and decided to then run for office, like two different positions, one, then both. She's a grandmother of seven grandkids right now. And I think her as an example, and just kind of like looking outside of our family. So let's imagine that in our families as. Was the case for me. We don't have these examples. I don't know for you, Bethany. Did you have journalists in your family? I don't know. No journalists, but I did have a mother who pivoted at around 34 years old. And that's when she got pregnant with me to a brand new career. And she was an artist. And then she went into, into medicine and literally like kicked so much ass, like, On like, like, incredible. She just retired like, like, like two years ago, but like literally hadn't went the pivot with had nothing to do. And same thing with her. She had nobody in that in the medical field to rely on. She put herself through her got her second masters while I was like a baby and then got a doctorate and like, I watched it all. So I have to say that while I didn't have like connections, I had a really good shining example of like what it means. to like really go after a dream while like providing and caring for a child. So that's, that was really my inspiration for sure. Yeah. And, and I'm sure like for you, it's, it's interesting because there were probably moments that your mom would not have thought you were looking, but you were. I was looking, I was looking and actually for me, I didn't really put that together until I kind of was like, Oh my God, I'm doing the same thing. Like I, maybe I did it a little bit earlier or whatever, but I literally was doing the same thing. And, and then I, when I realized that I was like, wow, I saw that I was able to do it. I had permission. I gave like the audacity to believe in myself because I had this mother who worked her ass off. She was, she is and was the breadwinner in my family, because it was crazy, it was crazy. But no, it's really such a good, kind of like a very nice like tie in for me. And then now being, now raising boys, like what does that look like? Like wanting to be that example for them, but also to understand sort of like the role that they play within society too. It's very different than raising girls. So yeah, and I'll never know, right? Like I always joke with people. I'm like three's enough for me boys, my identical twins. And I think when it comes to that, just like, like, I feel like the greatest gift, like as a mom that you can give your kid is living your own best life. Like, I don't really don't see that as like a selfish thing. I see that as like an example. And I see that as like an opportunity because like maybe. For me, for example, as I was writing the book, what really stood out for me was my kids were watching me. Like they were seeing me like go out on a Saturday morning to like write this book. They were watching me like sometimes honestly be at the foot of my bed while I would, while we were living in Australia, typing out some copy or whatever, sending it to my editor. And they were watching me do things and. I was so uncomfortable at times, but I was still doing them. And I think when it comes to any endeavor, any goal, right? Like if you want to pivot into like journalism, or if you want to pivot like me from coaching marketers to coaching entrepreneurial moms, it's like. You've got to do it even in uncomfortable moments, even regardless of the season of motherhood. And I think that's something else like your mom, for example, and yourself, like your dreams, both of your dreams, they were important to you at that stage of your life. It happened to coincide with being pregnant for both of you, right? Like, right. And so, which is interesting, right? That's, that's a rather productive time of a mom's life. You're creating, right? And so it's kind of like, well, what do you do? Like, do you pause the desires of your heart or do you find a flexible way forward? And so that's where our imagination, our fertile imagination comes into play. It's like, okay, if you are able to figure out the logistics of just a day, like today, right? Like, how am I going to get my kids from house to house safely? How am I going to look through their candy, make sure it's safe to eat, right? How am I going to hide their candy? Or somehow secretly throw it away. That's so bad. Don't tell my boys. I know, right? It's too much sugar. But how am I going to do that? So you use your creativity and your imagination for things like that. Right. And I think the same can be done when it comes to our dreams, irrespective of the complications that are involved. And there's a lot of variables when it comes to kids that much. I could tell you over 12 years. You might plan your family out beautifully, just like we might plan our birth plans, but ultimately it's like when stuff happens, you've got to rise to the occasion and make stuff up. Yeah, I really like what you said about like the flexibility, right? Like flexibility in because parenting really is all about that, right? Like kind of being in the moment, flexible, adapting to anything that could happen at any moment. But also when we think about like ourselves, like, right, like. Having to be flexible with our dreams and pursuing our goals. And if something kind of comes up, not to quit, right, but to be flexible, to figure out the way to manage it so that you still have that, that goal in sight. I really liked that actually. I've never really thought of it like that before, but I, that's pretty much how I've done it. And it's, I'm like 11, 12 years in the game of parenting and 11, 12 years in my career. And that's not. By accident, like we just, like we just said, and I'm thinking about all the sort of flexibility that I've had to exercise throughout parenting and my career as like I was like doing them in tandem. And it's really wild actually to think about. Yeah, I think that that's something that I think that's the difference between achieving a goal versus not achieving a goal. So it's kind of like if you have this one thing that you want to do as a you, you might write it out. You might even come up with a beautiful like roadmap and, and that's amazing. However, what about that day when you wake up and the night before your kid was vomiting all over the place? Projectile vomiting because I've been there right or like what if school is shut down for whatever reason a flood I'm literally thinking about real life situations Right or what if you you your file like is corrupt and you can't open it Again, 12 years in as an entrepreneur online, like these are real things. So what do you do from there? Right. And so in one chapter, like I was thinking about it, there's a Sundance award winner, Diane Bell, who had never written like a movie before, had never produced, was told you're never going to get it done for a hundred thousand dollars. And the learning that I got from her was like, well, in her mind, she invested in her idea and she set forth on a plan that even if no one else believed was possible, she was going to keep going through the obstacles, the hurdles, and just keep moving forward until it was just done. So she almost. started with that end in mind and figured it out along the way. And for me, I think to myself, like feels a lot like Indiana Jones and the temple of doom, how he's like running and there's this boulder behind him, like that's straight up motherhood and entrepreneurship, right? What happens when the algorithm. Changes, what happens when childcare falls apart, you've got to be so nimble, like Jack, be quick, Jack, be nimble, all that stuff. No, no, no. Mom, be nimble. Mom, be quick because you got to jump over a candlestick, legs and a million other things, right? And Legos. All those hurt. Those hurt. Yeah. I know. It is, it's, it's, it's really, I was going to say something too about, oh yeah, so about like, it's one thing to like, be flexible, but like, it also is, and I don't even know if you want to get into it, but like how, like, society and, and the private sector is not really set up to support flexibility. So we have to also think about that with moms who are Thanks, Cassidy. feeling like they can't do it, right? Like I have to give up. I have to stop because of the way like things are set up for them. Like we're kind of like not only fighting against our own stuff, right? Like being as flexible as we can managing our careers and our kids, but also fighting against like not being supported at work, like not feeling like there's a place for us if we come back after maternity leave or something like that, so. Is all of that and I think we're really now seeing a push for that like because of these conversations because we're like after the I talked about this to like the pandemic was so unkind and that's like we putting it nicely to mothers right but now we're like coming back like A little bit pissed off, a little bit more ambitious, like more ambitious than ever. And like, like this can't happen again. You saw what it did to us. I mean this is, and so I think that's it too, like having these kinds of conversations to change the workplace, to change at the federal level for child care, like we need these things to be successful. And so I think any mom who's thinking or maybe watching this and be like flexible. I can't manage another thing in my brain like you want me to be now flexible for this and this and this is like, just remember that the way things are set up right now, it's like it's really not to help you. You're to help you to succeed. So just keep that in mind, like give yourself a little bit more grace as you're like navigating this whole A hundred percent. And I would say when I was coaching marketing executives for the last 12 years, and I was coaching on purpose, both men and women. So although I was talking with a lot of working moms, I wanted to just see how the conversations were different between working moms and working dads as an example, right? And what I noticed was that for women, there was this like major investment in like that one job, that one good. boss, that one company that lets them go work from home one day a week, that they would then burn themselves out to keep that job at all costs, not at no cost, at all costs. And so I was calling that career trauma. And I was seeing that. So vividly because moms are going to put on a game face, you're at the office and you're like, I'm here to resolve stuff within this timeframe. So I could go back home and do my stuff again, right? The second and third shift. And I think this flexibility, it's why I decided to leave the corporate setting. Although I have my MBA, like the MBA in a corporate setting. Matters a lot, quote unquote, obviously there's now some dilution there, but in the entrepreneurial space, it does not matter a bit. So why did I do that? I did that because this was pre pandemic 12 years ago. I did not find the flexibility that I desired, which was to work from home one day a week on a Friday with a full straight up Excel communication plan that I put out there to my former boss. It wasn't possible. And so for me, I said, what, okay, I'm in a position where I have the credentials. How can I make this work for me in an entrepreneurial setting? And the last 12 years as an entrepreneur, I've noticed a very similar dynamic. So you talk about flexibility in the corporate space, which is something that each mom has to work out for herself and be her own advocate for, but in the entrepreneurial. space, the same sort of factors are at play, right? Because what entrepreneur out there has not been on as an example, Instagram 24 seven to keep up with the algorithm. So inflexibility and flexibility, those two ideas are huge when it comes to having an imagination, one that can be productive and can produce useful. Ideas, right? And at the end of the day, even as an entrepreneur, I had noticed mom's falling off what I call the cliff. Okay, so the 1 thing that we can all do to figure out how to find some. Some, some air to breathe as moms working moms is take it onto ourselves, figure out for ourselves what we want and what we really, really need in terms of flexibility and in terms of using all the resources that we do have, which was something you mentioned in your journalism video, right? What do you have and figuring out how to make lemon sorbet out of lemons. Right, right. Who doesn't like lemon sorbet? Everybody. Everybody. And I want to ask you, too, as an entrepreneur, how do you set boundaries for yourself, like, so that you don't burn out? Like, because I, I know that a lot of us struggle with that because, like, I'll be like, scrolling just to like, like, what's happening? Is there something timely I need to. to figure out and, and I work, I have my own brand, but I'm working for other brands and all of this. So tell me how you have you, how you've managed that. Yeah, I think it's really about figuring out, okay, what is it that I want? Like, do I really want to display my family on Instagram? Do I really want to build up engagement to a point where this weekend I'm going to be like in a coma on my bed? And, and totally wiped out, like, what do you want? Because here's the thing, the trend is right. So a lot of people talk about hustle culture. Don't do it. I gotta be honest. I don't know how to actually produce the Instagram results that are quote, unquote, necessary in order to get the reach that they say I should have. But what I do know is early on in my career, I remember this was, yeah, 12 years ago. I was Exploring social media. I don't even remember if Instagram existed. The point is this, I was pushing out, let's say like one piece of content a day, which back then it was like, wow, I was a new mom. I had one boy, he was a baby and I didn't have like full time childcare. Let me be clear, which I think makes a big difference. And I remember one person who now is a. Telling me, Melissa, you should go crazy on social media. You should just like kill it on social media. And I remember just thinking to myself, oh my God, I'm dying here as a new mom. I'm like not sleeping. I'm like barely learning how to nurse and now I'm supposed to go on social media. More, this is before those scheduling tools, really. And I remember thinking to myself, I'm going to have to miss the boat. I have to miss the boat. And I'll be honest, I missed the boat. And am I taking full responsibility for having quote unquote missed the boat? I am. So for me, the way that I manage my boundaries is I have to play it in the moment. What do I need right now? If my agenda. If my values, if my needs are like top to my priority list today, I have to pick them. Even if it's at the detriment, at the detriment of my business or at the detriment of what the other world says I should be focused on, because I can't make myself want something that someone else wants. I can't do it. Yeah. I try. Trust me. I can't. I love that, actually. I think that's, that's super, that's super important because I think I beat myself up, too, about missing that social media boat. Like, I was there, I was watching, but I was like, I can't, I couldn't do it. It didn't feel right for me. And now I feel like, in so many ways, I'm playing catch up, but also, I'm like, this is where I'm at. Like, I'm just gonna be authentic, share what I want to share in the moment, and not really... Put too much into like a strategy because I'll, I'll die. That's not even a joke. We will actually die if we like, like, like a book marketing launch plan. Like this is like the verge of, but you did it. You're doing it. I did it and I'm doing it. And I'm so appreciative, Bethany. Like, I am so grateful to like all the mom authors that have come before me. I am. So, so, so grateful, Bethany. I mean, I, something that I also like love to talk about is like this unified power of mothers. Like we don't realize how powerful we are as a collective. So anytime I see a mom out there doing this, like I'm like, yes, let's do it. But how can I help you? What can we do? And we're going to get you on my podcast too. So that stay tuned for that. So this is not the end.
In the last part of this series, Miyanovich and Marean discuss: the human drive to advance projectile technology, the possibilities of a genetic basis for the Human-Weapon Relationship, Curtis' experience with a South African hallucinogenic plant, and Thomas Edison's free-association balls. :)
Welcome back! It's been an extremely eventful couple of weeks. Dylan became a dad! And Hayden is not far behind... We also had OFSTED in this week, and they deep dived our subject: maths.

This podcast is one that I personally was really hoping for. I was lucky enough to get Joel Maxfield on for his first podcast. Full disclosure, Joel is one of my personal mentors in bowhunting. He began working for MATT McPherson as a youngster with McPherson archery and then became the first employee of Mathew's and ultimately my boss there during my time. Much of my base in archery came from watching Joel and Matt in the bow labs and experimenting with the founding teams there. Joel has a hunting resume that is far to long to write. I've never met someone more serious and dedicated to bowhunting and archery than Joel. He loves the industry, loves the dealers and loves professional archery.

Welcome back to Analyze Scripts, where a psychiatrist and a therapist analyze what Hollywood gets right and wrong about mental health. Today, Portia and Katrina continue exploring "Shrinking" episodes 4-6 on AppleTV+. We decided to split this analysis into two parts because HARRISON. FORD. GETS. STONED, which deserves all the attention it can get! We discuss turning on Liz when she emotionally blackmails her son and being shocked when Gaby hooks up with Jimmy! UGH WHO IS WATCHING OUT FOR ALICE?! We hope you enjoy! Analyze Scripts Instagram Analyze Scripts TikTok Analyze Scripts Website [00:17] Portia Pendleton & Dr. Katrina Furey: Welcome back to kind of, I guess, part two of Shrinking, episodes four through six. Turns out there's a lot of content cover. Yeah, we wanted to kind of break it up a little bit to give listeners a little break and not make like a two hour episode. So I'm Portia Pendleton. I'm a licensed clinical social worker, and I'm here with Dr. Katrina Fury, a psychiatrist. And we're breaking down. Currently, the show shrinking on Apple TV. Plus last episode, if you didn't listen to part one of this, we are talking about or we spent a lot of time talking about Sean PTSD. Again, kind of inappropriate boundaries. We talk about OCD and the kiss or the attempted kiss between Wally and Jimmy, his patient. So I think we're just kind of going to move right into more thoughts and feelings about these episodes. It's kind of funny because these episodes are like 30 minutes long. So I kept thinking, like, gosh, I don't know if you're going to fill the time. And then turns out it's so rich. There's so much to talk about. So where do we start? I think you wanted to spend a little bit of time talking about marijuana. Oh, my God. Cannabis. Seeing Harrison Ford, like, high as a kite, I felt like we needed a whole episode just about that. I mean, I really didn't see that coming. I was surprised that Liz was the one who had these gummies. And I'm also, like, not surprised, but also not surprised. Right. They are in Pasadena, and Liz seems like kind of bored. Yeah. But I loved that she was like I don't know exactly what she said, but she was like, my yoga teacher's cousin got these from their nephew who said this has, like, totally been proven scientifically to help, and it cured him. And I have to say, as a psychiatrist, I get so many questions about CBD gummies, cannabis, marijuana. And of course I do, because it's everywhere right now. It's being legalized and everything like that. So of course people have questions. But I just loved that that's where she got it, because I just feel like that's always what I hear. Well, I got it from this person who got from that person who got from this person who said it helped their dog. I hear that a lot about diets of work. Like, oh, my hairdresser aunt did this diet and it cured her of this. And it's just like, what? Yeah, well, it probably won't work for you for these reasons. Why? Right. Again, knowing that you treat a lot of patients who struggle with eating disorders, that makes a lot of sense. So, yeah, I mean, what did you think about I wanted more. I feel like I just loved when he kind of showed up and she is removing his sunglasses and he's like, oh, wow, it's so much better. He has cotton mouth. His mouth is really dry. So to sort of rewind a little bit and set the stage. So eventually, the lawyer, whoops brian. Brian decides to propose finally sounds like he's really been hesitating about commitment. And he had that touching, like, faux therapy session with Gabby, which I thought was nice, but also kind of predictable. It wasn't earth shattering, but it was nice. And so he finally wants to propose. So he plans his party to invite his partner over. He's, like, super nervous. He's buzzing around it's. At Jimmy's house. Jimmy was really hesitant about the party, I think. Right. A lot of stuff was coming up for him, like, pre party that I think he should have maybe been really forceful with a no. Like, I want to host this. Right. Again. Boundaries, Jimmy. But it sounds like he and his wife used to throw parties, and this was the first party he was throwing since she passed. And that maybe that fight they were sort of flashing back to was happening around a party or something. And he started we again start to see that their relationship wasn't perfect. When the wife died, they were fighting. She seemed kind of unhappy, and he was really struggling with that. So they're having the party. Initially, Paul is like, I can't come. I'm busy being alone. He doesn't want to go, which, again, kind of inappropriate boundary when you're, like, the boss of all these people. And then he shows up high as a kite. And I think he took the gummy because he'd told his daughter about his Parkinson's diagnosis, and she was about to fly out, and he was feeling really nervous and for his character. Right. Paul is so a little bit kind of tightly wound. I feel like he's very cautious by the book. It seemed like it was just, like, super impulsive, kind of like an effort moment. Do it. And then it was like and they took a couple more. Yeah. And then all of a sudden, he shows up at the door, and everyone's like, oh, my God, you're here. And he's got this funny little hat on his glasses, and he's like, you poisoned me. He's, like, pointing at Liz. He's like you poisoned me. I was like, God, I hope he didn't drive there. Maybe he got an Uber. Well, it seems like he's not driving right now. Hopefully he didn't impair. And then just like, the banter when Liz is like, I took one too, and we need Popsicles. And then her husband is like, which ones? And she's like, the special ones, apparently, for when their mouths are dry, when they're hot. Oh, I didn't catch that. And he was like, okay, I guess I'll go get them. It's so funny. Oh, my God. And then my favorite part was when the proposal goes awry, because Jimmy's supposed to play you are so beautiful, and they start throwing up every projectile again. I cannot tolerate seeing puke like that. And I was like, gagging to myself while laughing, while being like, it was so funny. This episode was so good. Like, from an entertainment perspective and also from a psychology perspective, I thought there were some really nice moments. Like, I thought Gabby and Liz's relationship going. They had like a repair. They both kind of owned their lie or their kind of mean spirited comment. And then they got really close and we're connecting. I thought there was a nice moment between Gabby and Jimmy when she shows him the picture of yes. His wife looking at him. But as soon as she came in that bedroom, I think you blocked that out. I did block it out. You're just remembering it right now. Oh my gosh. I was so I knew it was going to happen. I know. As soon as she came in, I just knew they were going to make out. I can't believe I know. I totally blocked it out. I did, because it's painful. I was disappointed about the trauma. I was so disappointed because I thought it was such a beautiful moment. And I think you seems like you picked it up like a couple of seconds before maybe like 2 seconds before they did it. I was like, oh no. Yeah, you can feel the tension. There was maybe music. I was just like, I know. Oh my God, it was so nice. I wish they had just left it at that hug. Right? Give each other a hug. Pat on the back, go your bed. Right? But I think she was drunk and she was saying, Remember partner? And she was like trying to get back out there, remember? And she was like, I can't get a lady *****. What do we call it? All that stuff is really funny. Oh my gosh. So Jimmy throws up everywhere. Projectile vomiting, like a lot. Too much. Don't show that. But it was so funny. And I'm always like, how do they do that? Yeah. Is there like a hose behind him that someone's like under the piano? Like funneling vomit looking liquid through? Is it like a sprinkler? I'm always so curious about Hollywood, especially. I don't think it is. Yeah, it looks like can you imagine, like, if your job was to create the vomit? No, but so he ruins the proposal and then Brian is all flustered, like, oh, forget it. Forget it. Jimmy starts singing. Brian's like, trying to sing. This isn't a duet. It's so funny. But then finally Brian and his partner outside, and the partner says yes, and that was so sweet. And then you hear Harrison Ford eating doritos. And I just died. You just think of like, hi as a kite eating doritos. Of course it's doritos. It was just so doritos amazing. It was so funny that you hear the crunch and then oh my God, I just love it. Just like the camera pans and you're like, again, because that's so out of character for paul. He would never wander outside with his turn and then just being a part of this special moment. But I thought it was kind of sweet because Brian, it turns out, is doing like the life planning for him. And in that way, he is seeing a very vulnerable side of Paul that no one else has seen. So in that way, it was kind of touching to me that now he gets to witness this really vulnerable again. We got such poor boundaries in this whole group. But I thought that was really sweet. And I feel like Paul used the gummies to begin with because he's so nervous that his daughter, now that he's finally told her, is like, flying in. She's like, we're going to go see all the specialists tomorrow. We're going to come up with a plan. She's like, really on it. And I think that's why he was hesitating, because he doesn't want to feel dependent yet. And I think that's like, again, a nice depiction of something super common when people get diagnosed with things like Parkinson's. Yeah. It totally changes the relationship. I think it just automatically launches people into caregiver roles to some degree. And so now kind of like, he's the father, he's the caregiver, but he feels so guilty because he really wasn't there. There's so much there. I think his emotions about it feel really authentic, like the hesitancy and then they're not wanting to be a burden and wanting to be close to its grands. I mean, all of that, I would say, is really spot on. Yeah. And I think Mr. Ford is doing a really nice job depicting all of that comedy. I saw online that they approached him kind of as like a lol. He'll never say yes, he did. And they said he's so great at it. He's having so much fun, his sense of humor that he is able to portray really dryly at times. I love the role. I do, too. I love it. I know. Now that you say that, I feel like I only remember him from Indiana Jones, star Wars, Fugitive. Did you ever see that movie? Oh, so good. We watched it as a kid. So good. Air Force One. Is that a movie? Like Action? For sure. But I love him in this role and he can bring that grittiness and the comedy element to it. Seems like it's perfect for him. I know. Can't picture anyone else playing. And can you imagine everyone else acting with him? Like they are just like over the moon, right? All right, portia. Well, we don't have sponsors or anything like that yet, but maybe someday we will. And if we did, this is where they would go. So what kind of sponsor would you like to see? I think really anything that is like I want to use, like spindrift, sparkling water. I would love for that to sponsor us. You love that you have them all the time. All the time. So what else would I like? I feel like I don't wear a lot of makeup daily, but I am like a makeup. Get ready with me, girly. I love watching that stuff. So any makeup brand want to send me something? Even though you can't see us, that maybe is problematic. What else? Again, on the delusions of all grandiose delusions on our vision board is an airline with the lay flat seat. I really want to take a flight and lay down. I mean, if you're going to go big, maybe you should just do Emirates and you don't actually have to take me anywhere. We'll just lay down, go up in the air, circle around a couple of times and we can come down. But that's my ultimate sponsor dream. So this is where you'd hear a commercial. If we had them so far, we don't, but keep subscribing if you don't. I just love the whole cast. I love everyone from Liz's husband who just makes these appearances. I think he's so silly. I like Alice. I like, obviously all the therapists. Like, it's just Brian. Yeah. I think all of the casting is just so good. It's so good. It's so, so good. It's such a good show. Like, I'm really enjoying watching it, even though I am so mad at Jimmy. I'm so disappointed in him. I am so mad. We talked last time about again, how I just feel like he's hurting everyone around him with his patience, for sure, but also Alice. And we really see that continue to develop. He gets so uncomfortable and angry when she reveals that she lost her virginity to Connor, who's Liz's son. And it sounds like it was like a nice way to lose your virginity, right? Of all the ways it could possibly happen, it was consensual. They knew each other really well. They were friends. They used protection. Right. They were safe. And he just flips out. And there's a part of me that's like, dude, you don't get to be mad. You've been like Mia. Even especially within that context. Her losing her virginity in that way, I feel like is a very nice way. There is a thing from a father about her age which I could see. You never want to think about your children, but Jimmy, you were absent and she saw others, those young girls, in many different ways. You don't get to be mad at this at all. You don't also like her reaction. Remember the first scene ever those young girls in the pool who we think are like hookers and he's doing drugs and it's like, you haven't exactly like she says, or her comeback is like, well, I cleaned cocaine off the picture of Mima. Right? Like when he got mad at her for cutting school to go hang out with Sean again, it's like he's trying to be like, I'm the dad and we're going to have rules now you really have to repair first. Totally do. Not going to work. It's not going to work. And he was, like, so mad at Liz, and I'm just like, you're mad at yourself, dude. That's what it is. But you're not looking inward or like, doing any of the work. You're just acting out externalizing and hurting everyone around you. I know. Drives me nuts. Yeah. I think he apologized to Liz later, which I appreciated just for his kind of outburst about it. Again, it's funny. Like, it's funny part of the show. He's having a temper tantrum. It's funny and everything, but it just makes me, like, angry at it. Well, and then Connor keeps reaching out to Alice, and she's, like, not responding because she's so caught up with Sean. Grown man in the house. So I was just kind of like I think it's like that's, like but again, like, appropriate, like sweet. Like, they seem like they're an age apart. Like, yeah, you know, that's who she should be interested in. And now she's also just, like, setting a boundary and seems really, in some ways, like like positively mature. Right. She didn't really want to go to that party under the bridge. I love that too. That's like, such a typical high school. We're going to have a party under the bridge. We're going to be a wine cooler. In so many ways, she was neglected 100%, and she's still really I feel like she has a good moral compass. I know. And these are the things, too, that, you know, she wishes she had her mom to talk about, like losing her virginity. How do you interact with people who are interested in you? Are you interested in them or not? These are all the things that I think a girl wants to talk to her mom about. So it is nice for Liz to be there, for Gabby to be there, but it's really sad that her dad hasn't been there. And now when they're trying to start mending that relationship, he has such big temper tantrums about her behavior, when really, again, when you're comparing her behavior to his behavior, there's no comparison. So I'm really interested to see how their relationship continues playing out, especially now as they're leaving it with this tension between her and Sean. I bet she feels just so embarrassed and rejected. And I just so felt for her as, like, a teenage girl. I know. It's just like, oh, no. And then I'm always thinking, like, what are you going to do now? Right. Especially in movies, it's like, well, now you run away. Now you do go to you hang out with another older guy who will cross that line. And that's always where I feel nervous. Bad things happen. Yes. And this happens. Right. For vulnerable kids who have faced such a big loss, in some ways, Alice has lost both parents. She lost her mom, and her dad isn't there. And thank God she has Liz. And thank God she has Gabby. But it's really I wonder if you and I prickle up more about this, given our line of work and all the different cases we've seen, because it's like, this is like the perfect storm brewing for her to run away. I don't think she will, like, in this show, but it's scary. No, I agree. I did catch something that I did not like that Liz was talking about. I think it's called kind of like emotional blackmail. And it's like when parents, because they did all of these things for you while you were a child, then have this expectation that you are supposed to fill their need, whatever that may be, emotionally, financially. When she called her son, that's what you're going to talk about. I hated that. Yeah. So she texted her son, I think, to show Paul about children being there for you. He was really again, he's having this kind of dilemma about his daughter's involvement with his Parkinson's and this new kind of relationship dynamic between them. And then Liz proceeds to text her son something along the lines of, like, I'm not doing well right now. I need you to call me. And then he calls her immediately. And then she like, ignores, declines. I know. And she's like, see, like, we were there. I wiped their butts. Like, so they should be there for me. Right. That's not so unhealthy. That's played out a lot. Not a lot, but that is played out by parents and it's so conditioned. It's not good. No. Yeah. Thank you for bringing that up. That's so true, because I think Paul is really grappling with he knew his daughter was going to want to run in and save him and really take charge, and he's not there yet. He wants to be independent. He's already given up the driving, which it's got to be hard. He doesn't really want that guy and he doesn't want her to feel like she has to swoop in and save him, I think, because he feels so guilty that he really wasn't there for her in the way he wishes he should have been. And Liz, like, misses the mark. I think she's also high. Yeah. But yeah, I thought that was she's just, like she's like, just doing a really poor job of learning how to cope. And this is a challenge, but having an empty nest, which, again, is really appropriate and helpful to Alice. She steps in. She's like this new parent for Alice and that's great and everything, but I think it's more than just being helpful for Liz. I think she has this void that she thinks it's filling her need, too. Right, exactly. So in those ways, Liz and Jimmy are kind of similar, right? They're a little selfish. Yeah. Like, kind of quote unquote helping, but to make themselves feel better. And that's really dangerous. So that's a really interesting parallel I wonder how that'll keep playing out. Yeah. And then I'm like, how is episode seven going to open? Is it going to be like, Gabby and Jimmy in bed? Like, holy ****. Yeah. Like next morning, regurts, did Alice no, she's in the house. She probably gabby's still there. You know what I mean? And also she's still there. Yeah. I don't know. I'm really nervous about that in some ways, I feel like. And what a violation that was. Alice's mom's best friend. So I could see Alice becoming very upset because maybe I feel like the hookers were bad. Right. But they were meaningless to her. So now it's like this person who she knows was best friends with her mom and who is there for her on this deeper level, has now been with her dad. If she finds out, like, that is a big violation, I would assume, for Alice. That would make me feel horrible. Horrible. Not trust, not want to talk to Gabby. I think that's just like a termination of that relationship, which is unfortunate. And Alice has already lost so many important people. I assumed they went all the way, but I wonder if they'll pull away from the kissing. I feel like that would be good, right? But I don't know. And again, if we took out them both, being intoxicated this happening for both of them, when they're both emotionally charged about, you know, Gabby's ex husband and the demise of that marriage and Jimmy losing his wife and Alice. Like, right there and and all of that. Like, if this had been like they gradually grew closer and they were like, you know what? Maybe this would be good for both of us, and I feel safe with you. Or if you develop communication, authentic feelings. Right. And, like, Alice wasn't next door. Like all these things. I could see how that might actually be really nice, but the context is so not that. And I'm so upset. No one's watching out for Alice. I know you just want to run in all these adults are just not acting like adults. No, they're not. But again, it's like not all adults act like adults. So in that way, it's nice to see some flawed characters. Yeah. What were you going to say you did talk about before, which I really wanted to bring up because I thought it was just, like, a beautiful statement. When Paul is eating doritos while Brian and his now fiance are having kind of their moment, the advice that he gives them is, like, two vulnerable people will always find a way to connect. So stay open. I thought that was just, like such so true, so meaningful. Such a nice way to say that. Because I think ultimately it's just a simple it's so real good advice. I feel like I'm not giving it the justice that I wanted to say about it. But if you're vulnerable, if you're open, if you can listen and hear and be just kind of in like a receiving position for your partner. Not defensive, right? Not defensive. You're not closed off. You're not kind of pivoting almost. I'm picturing, like, you're back to them. The relationship can work. Right. There's going to be problems, there's going to be bumps. But if you can try of course no one does it perfectly. No, but I think a lot of problems that arise in partnerships are often because of poor communication or someone not sharing how they really feel or it's as simple as I'm fine. It's like, well, you're not 100% share how this small thing hurt you so that it can be addressed and you can move on. Instead of it building and building and building. Right. And learning that it's a safe relationship to share that stuff and that the other person does want to hear it because oftentimes they didn't mean it that way. They didn't know it was landing for you that way based on your own experiences. And then when they realize that, hopefully they can internalize it and move forward differently, and then that's how you feel more and more attached. I feel like Paul was really speaking from experience, which I feel like he did not stay open. I know. Of course. That just gave me chills. I know. I'm really excited to see what happens. We want to see, and I'm sure we will, like what happens with Gabby and Jimmy. I don't want Alice to run away. What happens with Alice. I want to see, of course, what happens with Sean. I want to see, like, Liz. I want Sean to fire Jimmy. Yeah. I want him to again, learn somewhere because he's not learning it from Jimmy or anyone else. But to be able to be like, I deserve better than this. So I'm going to find a different therapist. Yeah. What else do you want to see? I would like to see Harrison Fort hike. Yeah. I liked I would like to see him get high and do a little dance or some kind, maybe with a top hat and a cane. I don't know. I want him to have more. I feel like his talks with Alice are really good. I liked when they were on the bench and she wouldn't sit down because she was mad. And he was like, well, I'm sitting and I'm always mad. He's so funny. And then she sits down. He's like, see, you can be mad while you sit. And I love all the commentary about his little hat. He keeps wearing all these little things. I really do enjoy this show. I think it's really funny. It's really entertaining. I hope there's a season, too. I already want that. And it is bringing up a lot of interesting stuff about mental health. Again, we were thinking, like, we'd have a hard time talking about these three episodes because they were short and we had to split our recap into two episodes. So hopefully we will probably the next time we recap shrinking, it will be over. It'll be over. So I'm really curious to see. I think that'll come out. Yeah, the end of March, probably. All right, well, thanks for joining us for this two parter. Next time you hear our voices, we will be finishing up you season four and we can't wait to see what happens. So excited. I I don't know what to expect. I know. On the edges of our seat. Yeah. Will we hear any more about Marianne or is that it? What happens with Reese? What's going on? And then as we move into the month of April, we are going to start making our way through the hit HBO show succession. A lot of our followers and listeners keep requesting that, so we can't wait. And neither of us have seen it, so we're going to be watching it ferociously and then recapping it together for the first time. And then we're also going to throw in some cool movies from the past, like Black Swan, The Hangover. I'm excited for the hangover. Me too. Yeah. So you guys know the drill.

00:01.12 Max Shank Here's the deal. So there's a perfect, no intro this we're just here now you're here we're here I'm here you're here. We're all here the official show but this is for just the like inner club. But anyway I was going to say a case study. 00:02.60 mikebledsoe It's the first one. 00:16.94 mikebledsoe We'll do the intro when we start the official show. 00:35.54 Max Shank On viewer engagement. One of the best I've ever seen was this Youtube channel called Ants Canada okay I think it's like a filipino dude. It's some asian guy who has this Youtube channel called Ants Canada and every fucking film. 00:51.20 mikebledsoe Ahead. 01:14.58 Max Shank Is about ants and ant colonies and he sells ant gear but basically he has this membership that he calls the Ac senate right? and so he basically has people pay to have a say in all kinds of weird stuff like. What are we gonna do with this new colony. What are we gonna name this thing and he gives them like preferential voting rights for what happens in the community. It's so crazy. How ah how much this guy connects with the audience. And's so it's a weird stuff ah because ants and ant colonies are pretty weird but talk about a case study for how to engage with an audience. This guy is dialed ants Canada case study ants st ants canada is a case study for. 02:57.28 mikebledsoe Aunts Canada alright. 03:07.76 Max Shank How to engage with your audience on multiple levels. He sells physical products. He has basically ah a membership where you get called? yeah like ants like the bug the insect. Yeah exactly it's incredible. 03:28.28 mikebledsoe It's a and TS like like the like the insect to podcast. 03:46.40 Max Shank No, it's video series Youtube thing. It's not a podcast but he sells ant colony plastic molded parts to people. He also has this this. It's the weirdest thing I've ever heard of like you would wonder like why is it that people would pay to get to make decisions but he has positioned the joy of naming a new ant colony or deciding what to do. In this like new video series as good as Tom Sawyer ah portraying the benefits of whitewashing offense. He's like wouldn't you guys like to make this decision for him like they are driving his content and paying to drive the content. It's. 05:30.86 mikebledsoe It's really I mean it's as Facebook Twitter you know create the platform. Yeah create the platform and just let them let the let the people be the product was that the people will create the product. They'll be the product. 05:32.38 Max Shank It's unbelievable Youtube oh my god what an acquisition. 06:02.50 mikebledsoe And then you just sell advertising. 06:08.32 Max Shank It's like ah what they did with was it Hong Kong or Singapore can't I remember 1 of them. It's like the guy's name was Lee coshing you ever hear that guy. Ah. 06:30.90 mikebledsoe E. 06:41.24 Max Shank Rikash xing Hong Kong business magnate none richest guy in the world. His whole thing. He just like built up. Ah let's see hold on. I don't know his whole thing was about owning the port that that was the that was the ah whole story. Basically. 07:24.20 mikebledsoe Ah, yeah, it's kind of like the the gold rush. The people who made the most money were the ones selling the shovels I think that's where maybe Levi's came from the blue jeans is yeah I'm not 100% sure on this but I I think that ah that. 07:38.16 Max Shank Right. Um, leave eyes. 08:03.32 mikebledsoe That denim company or maybe another denim company Levi's make sense though. Ah made their fortune and their start by selling denim clothing to miners. It's really durable. 08:25.20 Max Shank Like little kids or like go look for gold in the mines Now they probably send sell more to little kids I don't know I don't wear a lot of jeans. Do you wear a lot of jeans. 08:36.64 mikebledsoe Look go look for golden mines. Yeah, yeah, off to I'd like to not anymore not with the not with the clothes that come out today I just discovered. Um. 09:02.16 Max Shank I Hardly wear jeans. It's not that comfortable. 09:15.54 mikebledsoe Viori made a new pant that is looks really clean, but dude great for travel because I can wear them in a hundred degree weather I might as well be wearing shorts they breathe So well, they look nice and you know I. 09:24.24 Max Shank Ah. Are yeah. 09:51.22 mikebledsoe I Don't even like to wear shorts I don't like to wear casual shorts I Either want to wear pants or athletic shorts and it might be something it might be like spillover from the the military because that's pretty much how it works there. But I think like casual shorts look silly on men. Ah. 10:01.80 Max Shank A. 10:17.60 Max Shank Right? right. Um, like what? what do you mean?? casual shorts like cargo pants. 10:31.28 mikebledsoe That's just like you know like yeah like like cargo shorts or just like the shorts that are pants that are cut off. You know it's It's like those are kind of silly. It's like when I just wear athletic shorts I'm like an athletic shorts and fanny pack or I'm going to be wearing. 10:49.96 Max Shank Ah, you know what. 11:07.94 mikebledsoe You know some slacks. 11:10.94 Max Shank You know what? I'm really into is like the like the ah Rei type of hiking pant and I and I want to get some that turn into shorts but I was thinking about it and I don't know if I would rather have them unzip all the way. 11:22.78 mikebledsoe Yeah. 11:47.58 Max Shank Or if I would want to have them roll up and clip on I haven't seen many like that there are some out there because I have I have a couple pairs totally but the utility I mean. 11:51.50 mikebledsoe I think roll up and clip on makes more sense there. There are some out there I've seen some yeah the zip out I try to avoid moving parts as I try to. Until the zipper breaks plus rolling up just looks way cooler. That's that's the real Rob there they look cooler than having a zipper hanging off your shorts. 12:26.52 Max Shank Is fantastic. So maybe maybe the roll up till the zipper breaks. Yeah, that's a good point. Those are my my favorite pants I got a couple at Costco they're just. 12:57.00 Max Shank Yeah, that's a great point I went on a bike ride yesterday actually mountain bike ride for the None time in like years. Ah, all because I was learning about air compressors and how our compressors work. 13:03.40 mikebledsoe I mean. 13:34.56 Max Shank And so I was getting out my air compressor and I was like how how does my air compressor work. How powerful is this thing Really what kind of stuff because I bought one when I got my house because I was like every house needs an air compressor because I was ah like I didn't really know? Yeah, like yeah. 13:59.32 mikebledsoe Oh like a proper air compressor one with a big tank. Yeah, not the kind that you carry around in your car. Yeah something you could use with tools and whatnot. Yeah yeah, I'm into those those. 14:12.76 Max Shank Like a little pancake. No no I wouldn't It's a little too big and heavy for that. Yeah, like a nail gun staple gun that kind of thing and so those things are savage. 14:36.38 mikebledsoe I've got some air compressor tools. If if you're gonna work on a car I don't know how I don't know how I worked on a car before I have that which I don't really work on cars much anymore. But I remember that being a major upgrade. 15:04.26 Max Shank Yeah I think knowing how to put stuff together like that is such an underrated ability because I notice as I am problem solving in the garage with my hands. It makes me it makes it easier for me to visualize how to put other things together. Like Ideas. You know this attaches to this and you have to divide this. You have to sharpen this. You have to round off these edges. There are all these problem solving things that go on with how to put stuff together and it makes me even think of like mathematics how that factors in to. 15:43.16 mikebledsoe Yeah, well, there's um. 16:20.62 Max Shank Putting stuff together and how much how much you just learn through the process of doing it. You know it's good to know arithmetic. But I have it. 16:32.70 mikebledsoe There's a book. There's a book called the metaphors we live by and have you read it did you did you buy it on my recommendation or did you just happen to get it simultaneously. Wow Yeah I I hardly run in anyone who's read it. Ah. 16:52.62 Max Shank I think I had I think I bought it before? Yeah yeah, ah yes, and like most books I've read I maybe retained like 10% 17:08.18 mikebledsoe But have you read it. 17:22.74 mikebledsoe Got it? Yeah so metaphors we live by really highlights how the mind works and that everything in the mind is a metaphor to something an objective reality and so ah so kind of like the. 17:53.96 Max Shank Right now. 18:00.98 mikebledsoe Projectile and project metaphor We talked about before yeah eyeballs. Um. 18:06.94 Max Shank Eyeballs eyeballs are super reliable but they're not showing you objective reality because there are a lot of layers. 18:19.88 mikebledsoe Well, they are but you're not filtering it. But anyways. 18:32.44 Max Shank Well your eyes don't show you objective reality your eyes show you? How light is reacting with matter but there's a lot going on that is beyond. The visible spectrum is what I'm saying. 18:44.12 mikebledsoe Yeah. 18:55.10 mikebledsoe Totally. But so one of the things it talks about is ah like ontological metaphors and so one is how we refer to the mind. So the mind is a machine so there's all these examples of. 19:26.90 Max Shank A. 19:33.86 mikebledsoe Ah, that in in the English language the mind is a machine and it's also brittle and so when you look at the English language as a whole the majority of the references to the mind is that it's a mechanical thing that's brittle. 19:48.36 Max Shank A. 20:09.12 Max Shank Right? It sounds dangerous. Sounds like a dangerous belief to me like that that makes me a little queasy even based on how I see the mind or how I would try to define the mind or even just the brain. 20:13.48 mikebledsoe And so ah, people believe that it yes and. 20:44.32 mikebledsoe Yeah, but but you know and and it's common language is as people are talking are unconsciously talking about it in this way. So they're further embedding this thing is true and so they they they don't know how to treat their own own mind or organize it because they actually have an incorrect. 20:48.30 Max Shank Like the organ because I think that's different. 21:00.58 Max Shank Um, right right. 21:23.92 mikebledsoe Or an inaccurate view of what it actually is ah so one of the things the book talks about is how we use objects to ah create Concepts so anything that's conceptual. We're having we need to. 21:28.26 Max Shank He no. 21:48.00 Max Shank E. 21:58.28 mikebledsoe Associate it with an object out in physical space and so ah, one of the things that I've noticed I'm in total agreement with you I've been I've been meditating on this because I read that book about a year ago and I noticed that as I've been doing more physical tasks and building things that my ability to problem solving in the conceptual realm has gone way up and anytime I'm having a conceptual problem I go work on something that's on an object I go build something or fix something. Ah. 22:45.12 Max Shank A. 23:07.18 mikebledsoe All of a sudden the world makes more sense and I think part of that is if we spend too much time in the conceptual Realm without being in the objective Realm Then we end up. Ah, we end up way out in this place that doesn't make any sense. And and we become ungrounded and I know you and ah I are alike in this way because we love the mental Masturbation. We'll go off into some conceptual Realm and start changing. You know, ah physicists do this. They'll change one lot of physics to solve a problem and then they try to. Bring it back and so and then reapply to law and and it's one way of doing experimentation but the problem is a lot of people start doing that and they never come back to Earth and so I think having that balance between doing things and objective reality and conceptual. And conceptualizing things is really really beneficial. 25:12.48 Max Shank Oh Yeah I was laughing so many times there because it makes me think about how enslaved people are by thinking certain things matter and the word matter is funny right? Because. Stuff matters. Ah you know water is matter air is matter and these ideas that we have. It's like we think too many things matter that aren't matter at all. 25:51.44 mikebledsoe Right. 26:02.36 mikebledsoe This bottle is matter. 26:26.50 mikebledsoe Ah, well does just to make the statement that something is matter that isn't matter pulls you out of reality. You've become ungrounded. 26:28.36 Max Shank And you are just more and more divorced from reality because hold right? of course look um these words and ideas are. Very useful and it's never the complete truth because they're just symbols right? but they are concrete enough to give us the plans to make a plane or a computer I mean that's all language derived and that's how the matter is directed. So. The ideas are like the pattern like Pattern Pattern father and the stuff the substance the matter the mother ma her modern is ah guided by our ideas. But if you don't have what's that yeah. 28:09.34 mikebledsoe Oh man I'm loving these metaphors that that makes so much sense because that the father is is the structure of like the pattern structure and the matter is the stuff. 28:23.80 Max Shank Yeah, if you don't yeah if you don't have the father's the pattern the Pattern the pattern right? mother is the matter. Yeah, the stuff and the ah the energy. 28:47.40 mikebledsoe Yeah. 28:55.84 Max Shank It's like kinetic and potential I mean there are a lot of ways that you can ah yin and young and dichotomize these ideas right? But ah my point is that we are made of matter you eat an orange. You actually are that orange is becoming you. And your body is able to break it down into its basic components and then that stuff becomes you and the stuff that doesn't become you becomes shit or sweat or something like I mean it's crazy, but it literally becomes you so this idea. That when you um, get your hands involved. You get so much of your brain involved and then it's rooted in a reality that is very easy to understand. It's very It's all about, um. God I guess it's all about power really when you get down to it because we're talking about ah force times distance ah or work over time is power ah, power is work over time work is force times distance. And that's that's a reality that's easy to track momentum things like that all this dark matter. Ah like black hole shit is mental masturbation. It's fine. It's mental masturbation though. But once you start getting in there and you can do macrame you can. Ah, make something out of wood. You could carve something out of Clay. Ah but building that connection between your creativity and your curiosity and this physical reality is critical and if you apply that same thing to fitness. Fitness is essentially ah how well you're able to deliver force how well you're able to deliver force into your right leg so you can run and take a step with your right leg and how well you can absorb. 32:56.36 mikebledsoe Yeah. 33:21.00 Max Shank And return Force I Mean That's why my latest training program is called elasticity because it's all about absorbing and returning forests without ah permanent deformation and that's that's like as close as you can get to the best longevity practice. And we all have our pet loves for ah what makes fitness good or what makes you live a long time. But if you ah you know have good friendships and family kind of ties if you have fun and if you. Ah, fast. So You just don't eat too Much. You'll live a really long time even if you're just like medium elastic Fitness you just need ah a basic level of how to interact with your environment with these alternating forces. 34:48.74 mikebledsoe Yeah. 35:06.26 mikebledsoe Um, yeah. 35:11.64 Max Shank Ah, so it just it's very centering even climbing a tree go climb a tree and then you are like intimately associated with the forces required to lift you up off the ground and once you're in those situations you have room to explore and then this. Idea of like what matters or like what you should be fucking prideful of like I God I was just thinking the other day you know almost every holiday is about victimization that we have. Like almost every holiday is like it fucking kills me because we have like okay we have like memorial day that's ah, it's for the people who were killed like we are appreciating those poor victims but that's what they were. They were victims and of course we don't talk about like why they were victimized. 36:44.78 mikebledsoe Yeah. 37:07.34 Max Shank Because people don't really like that when you go in? Oh dude I'll be fucking kicked right out of the cemetery if I say these guys died for nothing but the fucking ambitions of old politicians with nothing better to do than tell other people how to live their fucking lives. 37:07.66 mikebledsoe Of you start getting into that but people will get offended. 37:46.40 Max Shank And so people don't like people don't like that no way because you know to generalize Bobby Joe went into that Vietnam and he did his country proud and that is a way better belief to take with you than he died for nothing. 37:46.40 mikebledsoe Um, people don't like that. No no. 38:08.42 mikebledsoe Yeah, you know what? um. 38:25.90 Max Shank But some fuck fuckwit politicians who just think they know best right. 38:32.20 mikebledsoe Yeah I um, my girlfriend and I are out. We do things around town and Texas is a very patriotic place and I which means I get a lot of discounts because I'm a veteran and. 39:04.54 Max Shank The. 39:09.66 mikebledsoe I get a 5% discount on my guns at Cabels. Ah, it's i't I can't get a discount on guns anywhere. Ah yeah, but I get in free at play at parks and stuff and in Texas where other people are paying to get in anyways. So I get. 39:20.44 Max Shank That's pretty cool and. 39:46.30 mikebledsoe Hit with thank you for your service pretty frequently and and Ashley my fiancee she she knows how I feel about every you know about a lot of things she goes. What's it like what's it like to hear that because you know I always just say oh yeah, you're welcome. You know that's what my. 39:49.18 Max Shank If. 40:05.30 Max Shank Um, ah a threat. 40:24.30 mikebledsoe My my pleasure you know, whatever it is that comes to mind at the time you know whatever I'm just trying to make them feel good about them giving me a compliment or whatever. But and when I did join I did think I was going in to be of service to humanity that was. 40:29.28 Max Shank Ah, thank you. 40:42.14 Max Shank Right. 41:01.94 mikebledsoe Impression I was under but the yeah where I stand now is like yeah I don't feel proud I don't feel ashamed I kind of just I'm very neutral about it. It's I've dealt with the fact that I got duped and like. 41:19.78 Max Shank He no. 41:36.18 Max Shank I Guess you could call that neutral. Ah. 41:41.94 mikebledsoe Yeah I mean I got well I got duped and I've accepted it I'm at peace with it right? like we've all been duped. We've all been duped and you know what I'm I'm lucky because you know I did get some really great experiences out of that that made me a very resilient guy and. 41:52.52 Max Shank Ah, ah, okay, right. 42:08.80 Max Shank Yeah, and. 42:17.24 mikebledsoe You know there's There's a lot of benefits I got from it most mostly the discounts but the. 42:28.64 Max Shank I Just imagine if someone said take you for your service and he said yeah I was probably a mistake. Or or just like I wouldn't recommend I wouldn't recommend it. 42:46.66 mikebledsoe Ah, you know I'm I'm trying that out. Well, it's bad enough that people are going to hear this on the show. Ah, but yeah, it's like ah that's all we know. But yeah, it's um. 43:08.84 Max Shank Um, hey look it's not for everybody. It wasn't for you. That's all we know it wasn't for you. It wasn't for you. 43:24.40 mikebledsoe But what you're saying is accurate because the the way Well the well we can go back to the holidays. But when I look at when I look at um, the government and military service and all these things is when I started looking at the government is just there's a book called the Sovereign individual and in that book they talk about how. 43:28.98 Max Shank These holidays. 44:04.14 mikebledsoe Formation of government and how they were there to protect farmers from people who would come and take their shit and if they didn't hire them. They were gonna take their shit and if they did hire them. They're gonna take a percentage of their shit and so ah. Basically when you. 44:42.80 Max Shank Basically you got guys with the swords and you got guys with the hose right till in the field then you got a sword guy and you got a hoe guy I'm more of a hoe guy I think. 44:46.40 mikebledsoe Exactly and some and yeah, some so like in the beginning it was just like who who is ah who's got the most brute force and then over time they accumulated armor horses like a ah Knight in armor. Can take out like 20 people on foot. You know like the this is yeah this is this is it and so true that yeah, but but here's the thing is before the and but. 45:30.20 Max Shank This is grounded in reality too unless one of those guys on foot happens to have a really nice bow and arrow and then that guy's fucked speaking of projectiles. 46:00.98 mikebledsoe Before the invention of the rifle to become skilled to be able to afford the time and the money to be a great soldier. It was it was rare and so only a select few had been in the position to do so and so. 46:36.56 Max Shank Even ants do this. They divide up the labor into soldiers and the workers back to the ants again. 46:39.00 mikebledsoe You it. Yeah, yeah, and so the so the whole formation of the idea government has been basically the same it's it's identical to the Mob. You know you're. 47:13.84 Max Shank It's identical to any group. It's about specialization Ideally right. 47:17.42 mikebledsoe I Know if any group but like but any group that uses the threat of Force violence and coercion. So not every organization does that and so. 47:40.12 Max Shank Um, is there any group where everybody does the same thing I think it's always about specialization. 47:48.78 mikebledsoe It is about specialization but what I'm saying is what makes these organizations special is that they ah they rule by violence and a threat of violence coercion. These things that that's how they get people to comply. 48:25.26 Max Shank Um, without nonviolently with like words instead of Swords basically. 48:27.50 mikebledsoe With their rules. Well they use words. But if you disobey those words you will then meet you know. 48:46.80 Max Shank Well, that's leverage right? That's that's really, um, how control works because if you if you ah if you don't follow the words and they just have to sword everybody to death. It's.. It's like not very good for anybody like now all the farmers are now all the farmers are.. It's kind of like a strike.. Basically I mean all these all these parallels within the symbolism of language I I have this idea that words have evolved basically the same as anything else. 49:25.76 mikebledsoe It's not good for anybody. Yeah, so they got to use the there's ah. 50:01.92 Max Shank In Nature longer sharper Claws Stronger Armor Camouflage Decoy Venom you know people fucking hurt each other with words all the time and only sometimes do they hurt. 50:25.80 mikebledsoe And. 50:36.14 Max Shank Ah, people with actual like sticks or weapons or something like that and sometimes they turn them on themselves right? We we fucking think Shitty things about ourselves we put ourselves through these I mean ah I guess I'm a fitness guy so we put ourselves through these like ball bursting workouts. 50:37.36 mikebledsoe Yeah, they've gotten so good at can most of the time. 51:13.82 Max Shank That are only harming us because we're just like so desperate. Um for some pie in the sky vision that we have I mean it's crazy how much language causes harm and self-harm. But anyway my point is like it's too inefficient. To go fucking hit everybody with the sword. It's way more efficient to just threaten the sword. 51:54.80 mikebledsoe Yeah, the the the evolution has been that we use these words and so it was the words were simple and the sword was strong and then over time while the Swords gotten stronger. But the the words have become. People have gotten very clever lawyers are some of the most clever people on the planet ah politicians are basically they're just Lawyers. So These people are creating these words. Yeah, they create these words and you know, um, there are certain people. 52:40.40 Max Shank Oh yeah. 52:52.18 Max Shank Um, the word Warriors the word warriors. 53:10.96 mikebledsoe Who are there's a very small population of people who are pretty much I think you and I fall in this category kind of like yeah you know those are just words and you want me to do this but I'm not going to and then you have the majority of the population that are like you're going to defy those words and. 53:44.18 Max Shank Right. 53:46.84 mikebledsoe And they completely freak out and they don't know what to do? They think that you're a bad person because you're ignoring these words. Um that somebody else put together and in order to try to control you so. 54:07.22 Max Shank Well because otherwise like you are ruining their paradigm. You're destroying their sense of reality because they're like well I can't do that and I'm like actually there there are just consequences to everything you do you know that. 54:18.14 mikebledsoe Totally destroying it. 54:35.42 mikebledsoe Yeah, you can do anything you want. You can do a lot of things. 54:42.84 Max Shank That's it you could do whatever there are consequences like if you tie a noose around your neck whack off in the closet. There's a much higher chance that you will die from hanging. But there's also a decent chance. You'll have an orgasm that's like None or so of the usual 1 55:20.40 mikebledsoe There's otherwise to do that You hit me up on my private blog on on how to do that without choking yourself. But anyways. 55:22.40 Max Shank So. 55:32.68 Max Shank Fellas you hear that Mike is offering orgasm boosters free orgasm boosters. What kind of percentage can you offer increase 50% increase a 3 hold on. 55:40.64 mikebledsoe Free orgasm boosters at least 50% now now I would say out. No no like 300 I mean yeah and yeah, with with just common common things you can pick up at the store. 56:07.68 Max Shank Ah, 300% increase 56:19.18 Max Shank Like cocaine. Ah. 56:19.76 mikebledsoe Nothing you don't have to go see a drug dealer. But if you no, no, no like like over the counter things. But then um, yeah, over the counter and then um, you know if you want to get into the other I can guarantee like a None x but you know that's going to require some hard to get ahold of. 56:30.20 Max Shank Over the counter. 56:55.60 Max Shank Honestly I think ah I think I think this would be something that you you could probably do a one pager on this for our premium Inner Circle club. 56:57.88 mikebledsoe Substances. 57:20.56 mikebledsoe I Feel like this whole episode's going to be an inner Circle Club show. Ah you know this is the commercial This is this is actually it. This is this one. We're giving away for free. This is the one you get for free from now on the pre ship. This. 57:23.38 Max Shank Like I would be interested in like a little that's all it is This is just for the this is this is it. We're gonna air this and and to be fair, we might be Fucked. We might be fucked because this might get us. Ah. Extradited or what's the excommunicated because of all the stuff we've said. 58:01.30 mikebledsoe Well this is why I want everyone to go and get a ah podcasting 2.0 app on your phone instead of Spotify because Spotify itunes. They could just take us off anytime they want because some sjw employee gets pissed off. 58:24.12 Max Shank Oh my God can you imagine? Holy God I Think that's I think the pendulum is swinging back I think people are craving uncensored Oh I Love it. 58:36.96 mikebledsoe So ah. I think so I think so but not but not the employees of Apple and Spotify. They're gonna be the last ones you know and Twitter but I it will shake out it but we need. But. 59:00.98 Max Shank Yeah, we'll we'll see how it all shakes out I mean ah Seasons change Seasons change. 59:19.58 mikebledsoe Decentralization is what will force it and so using a podcasting 2.0 app is part of the decentralization movement. So I like ah podverse myself. So if you just go and download podverses. Our shit will never be taken off of that. But. 59:54.40 Max Shank Bu ya. 59:59.20 mikebledsoe But Spotify has taken down None I think over 70000 podcast episodes in the last year yeah based on the content. No now they remove certain content. They even pull down some of Rogan's content 01:00:12.90 Max Shank Whoa Really I thought they were cool. Not cool. Bummer I Do know that by the way if there was ever something that. Ah. 01:00:35.00 mikebledsoe But not all of it. 01:00:45.96 Max Shank Was valuable but let's be able to say words other this is a core value. This is a core value here. Okay folks this is this. It's rooted in reality look. It's fine talkytackytacky ever Blah Blah Blah blah. But as soon as someone comes in with the stick. 01:00:53.40 mikebledsoe Come on. Well this goes back to what you were just saying. 01:01:24.88 Max Shank You got to like fucking face that reality and so if we can't resolve our differences with words. There's only None choice left and that's physical violence I think everybody should be versed in physical and verbal violence. Not necessarily so they can be violent toward other people. But so they can recognize it number None and defend it number None 01:02:07.86 mikebledsoe Well I like that I like to Define violence as the person who initiates force so I would I would say ah be well versed in debate because ah or or diplomacy right? So like to me. 01:02:36.76 Max Shank Right. 01:02:43.20 mikebledsoe War is just an extension of Diplomacy You know we were like oh diplomacy failed I'm like no this is just we're still being diplomatic. It's just a very violent diplomacy and so the same thing with the words is you know we start off with disagreement. We're trying to work it out things escalate We can't. 01:03:06.64 Max Shank Interesting. 01:03:17.88 Max Shank Great. 01:03:20.60 mikebledsoe Find agreement in the words because people aren't You're right, People are not trained in the ability to listen to understand and then communicate the wall just goes up and you've talked about rhetorical fallacies before the wall goes up and then now it just becomes a mudsling contest. 01:03:56.66 Max Shank Um, yeah. 01:03:58.60 mikebledsoe That that will result if that doesn't get resolved in some way it will result in physical force. This is why the None amendment's important because if only yeah and and because if only 1 group of people has access to violence. 01:04:13.74 Max Shank The None and the second those are almost all that's important. But. 01:04:35.10 Max Shank Um, oof because then you go. 01:04:37.56 mikebledsoe Then then we're in big trouble which takes me back to the point I was making hang on the point I was making which is like the when I look at when I look at ah government. It's hard to tell the difference between government and the mom because they're basically saying give us. A certain amount of your profits give us a certain amount of your of your hard work and we'll make sure that your shop doesn't get burnt down. You know we'll make sure your kid doesn't get beat up in the alley and they're basically saying the mob is basically saying. Overtly, they're saying we'll protect you from other people. Yeah, covertly, they're saying pretty much if you don't pay us None of our thugs are going to come get you which is which is the same thing that happens with the Us government is they say. 01:05:50.12 Max Shank It's called a protection ring. It's called a protection ring. It's been around for a long time. 01:06:09.36 Max Shank Ah, right? yeah. 01:06:23.82 mikebledsoe We're going to protect you from all these outside guys and we got police officers stationed in there. We're gonna protect you as long as you. But if you if you don't give us a None of your life then we're actually gonna come fuck you up and so that's the price of the club. Yeah tough shit. There's like no way out. 01:06:26.48 Max Shank Move. 01:06:41.98 Max Shank Right? That's the price of the club and if you don't like it well tough shit This is the only club in town. It's the only club in town. It's like ah you know there is a thing about power companies. You know when you have a single. 01:07:03.56 mikebledsoe And so well hang on. So so so so when I started when I recognized this this extremely similar ah view of government and the mom. 01:07:16.98 Max Shank Go go ahead? yeah. 01:07:38.98 mikebledsoe And I just started looking at all these governments around the world as just mobs that are controlling different geographical locations by by which um are mainly dissected based on Language. So if the language changes that's where the border begins. When there's a different language because you can't control people anymore because they can't understand you and so ah government control happens and within the borders of language and then you basically just have you just have. 01:08:35.50 Max Shank K case that's http://dciendocappassosenorexplicka me and espanio poque non anddo. 01:08:50.98 mikebledsoe Exactly. So. So so when you start looking at the world as or the government as just mobsters that are ruling really large pieces of geography and they're all. You know, jocking for position. Everything makes a lot more sense like the Russia Ukraine thing makes way more sense if you just think about it as a couple of mobsters that are that are jocking for position and the United States has done a good job of like. United States has done an incredible job of being very strategic in the way that it's done things. It hasn't it hasn't necessarily ah won with brute force for instance with the Ukraine thing is if you think about mobsters are running Ukraine right now right. Because anyone who has a government is being There's a mob and so those mobsters. Yeah, yeah, yeah, well the good the good mobsters of Ukraine are um, just you know the the us government is lending them. What None 01:10:50.92 Max Shank No, but those are the good mobs. We like them. They're the good mobs. 01:11:18.20 mikebledsoe Billion dollars a month or something like that that they're never going to be able to pay back all right? So if only someone would come tell me what to think? So so then ah. 01:11:22.22 Max Shank Oh my God I Wish someone would tell me who the good guys are and who the bad guys are if only someone would come and let me know what to believe about this. 01:11:56.32 mikebledsoe So then you got so the way I see it is the us government has done an incredible job at buying the people of Ukraine as slaves and so because they're under the control of the Ukraine mob the ukraine mob how are they going to pay back that money they can't pay back that money. So basically they're going to be in debt to the us and the Ukraine is the breadbasket of europe so they produce the the lion's share of the wheat and other things necessary for making a lot of food products and in Europe and so now. The way I see it is the us government. Everyone is everyone is going. You know? Yes for Ukraine I'm like I'm like the us government just enslaved the people of Ukraine and you cheered them along the whole way and is like yeah we are like you know and that is um, that's 0 comment on what. Putin's doing you know whatever you call him more criminal. Whatever the guy's not a good guy. The guy's not a good guy but but people miss that. 01:13:56.16 Max Shank It's it's about relationships. It's about relations. It's about relationships. It's about relationships and it's about trying to understand what the connection is between those relationships and in order to really get it. You got to reduce the number of parties down, you got to put the words like none and None out of your mind and just say what is the relationship between these different entities or individuals and what you're saying about the us specifically is. They recognize the power of both words and swords because words, okay, nothing scales better than words because it requires no material transfer. It requires only a transfer of pressure waves basically on some level and and. Transfer of ah it's just it scales way easier than actual bullets and actual swords and and if you have both then then you're like King of the castle. Basically so we have crazy weapons and we also have. 01:15:38.90 mikebledsoe Ah, especially with the internet and everything just repeats easily. 01:16:13.92 Max Shank Ah, lawyers and bankers and politicians that use words the same way that we're using Bullets and missiles and shit like that and we have we have ah stuff that's happening behind closed doors I mean Okay, let's talk about language again just for a second because. 01:16:25.28 mikebledsoe Totally. 01:16:50.54 Max Shank Want to talk about the word conspiracy conspiracy happening all the time people are meeting in secret to discuss plans all the time we would have to be totally naive if we don't think that's going on basically everywhere like every every group is meeting in secret. 01:17:24.88 mikebledsoe The Cia is ah is a series of conspiracies. 01:17:29.90 Max Shank We meet in secret we meet? yeah and of course they can't tell everybody everything I mean how fucking schizophrenic do you have to be your level 1 clearance your level 10 clearance I'm a level 10 cia wizard. So I know like 90% of the secrets but only 10% of this I mean it's. 01:17:42.24 mikebledsoe So it's a conspiracy. Yeah. 01:18:09.70 Max Shank It's Insane. So ah, kind of tying it back to how we use language and use ideas bringing it back to reality Once again, just doing something with material objects that exist somewhat. Independently of Language. You know how you interact with a tree or the ground of course you have the word tree and ground in your mind but your movement and your creative expression through physical materials. Even if you don't think you have a knack for it. It's very grounding experience. 01:19:37.32 mikebledsoe Back to physical materials. Yeah, well they? um well what's interesting is my friend Jesse Elder he he's been studying the law extensively the last couple years and um. 01:19:42.80 Max Shank Um, that that's what I tried to bring us on back because. 01:20:17.64 mikebledsoe Basically looking at like the foundation of law you know, not you know what are all these little laws that are floating around that are getting passed all the time and changing. But you know yeah, but like what is the the sole basis and we go back in history. What is law. 01:20:33.00 Max Shank To contract. It's It's just a contract that's it. 01:20:52.36 mikebledsoe You know how does it operate so he did that and if you can figure out the fundamental principles of how these things work a lot of things get real simple so he did that and one one of the it's what. 01:21:11.92 Max Shank It's conditional phrases right? I mean I'm not trying to diminish but isn't it like it's conditional. Phrases. It's consequences like the code of Hamurabi was a system of laws but they are very simple if you steal. A woman then you get your eye plucked out and you have to marry her some shit like that. Basically and if you're talking about arbitration which is a little different than law. Basically you are just dealing with an arbitrur like a judge who is deciding. 01:21:45.68 mikebledsoe Yeah, yeah. 01:22:20.32 Max Shank Who's right when they present like the clay tablets or something like can you imagine being. Ah, you know an arbiter back then but that's what they would do so that guy gets to decide but you have it's just enforcing contracts I think and every every relationship you have. 01:22:22.72 mikebledsoe Yeah, yeah, yeah. 01:22:43.74 mikebledsoe Yeah, yeah, that's what it comes down to. 01:22:59.30 Max Shank Because a contract is oh gosh. It's ah it's a projected relationship. How about that using the words that we've been thinking about so a contract is a a relationship projection or a relative projection between one or more. 01:23:17.86 mikebledsoe Yeah, yeah. 01:23:31.28 mikebledsoe Yeah, you're gonna do these things I'm gonna do these things if we don't follow through then it breaks down. There's the consequences. 01:23:39.44 Max Shank Entities yeah, and it works with yourself too. It works with yourself too. You make a you make a to do list. Maybe you sign at the bottom so I'm going to do this by the end of today you made a contract with yourself. You break the contract but you're also the judge here and you go like what happened. You know should I should I go to jail should I be full of shame or something like that should I punish myself. Do I get 50 lashes? Yeah, um, but I think we do that. 01:24:15.46 mikebledsoe Should I punish myself emotional jail ah, ah so so jet so Jesse started digging digging into like the principles of law. And None of the results that I've seen in his life is. He's become extremely analog. Ah he is like he he sees the matrix I mean when you look at I mean the law is the matrix and so ah, everything that. 01:24:55.98 Max Shank Totally. Ah. 01:25:18.14 Max Shank It's a matrix. 01:25:20.20 mikebledsoe Yeah, it's a matrix I would I would say it's probably like based one of the base layers of the matrix and then um like the media sits on top of that. But um, he he's gone extremely analog like he's living. He's got twenty acres he's living out on it. He doesn't deal with crypto he. Ah, you know tries that work primarily in gold and silver and like getting he's getting very analog. He's using technology like he's installing a solar farm. He's doing. He's doing some things to harness technology but he's become very analog and. 01:26:28.14 Max Shank Right. 01:26:37.76 mikebledsoe What is valuable and so and what he values is analog and so in a world where right now so much of the value is digital and which is which is somewhat of a physical manifestation of something conceptual and so. 01:26:49.52 Max Shank So true. 01:27:14.22 mikebledsoe Because we're talking about Energy. Ah Bitcoin is just energy and because it requires energy from the sun whether it come in the form of solar oil. Whatever it is ah it it comes in the form of energy that's being exchanged so there is a physical component to it. But. Which is actually way more tangible than say the Us dollar which has ah which is primarily ruled by what whatever somebody thinks or a group of people think instead of being ruled by actual physical world laws and. 01:28:15.72 Max Shank Um, that well money is its own like ah shared. It's actually a conspiracy so money is a human conspiracy just like language. 01:28:33.40 mikebledsoe It's yeah well fiat currency would be yeah, say more. 01:28:53.50 Max Shank That's that's it money is a conspiracy just like language I mean the fact that. 01:28:55.70 mikebledsoe Some people some people understand I mean you're right? because there are very. There's a there is a handful of select people who make decisions in secret about the money supply. 01:29:23.52 Max Shank Oh I mean just like it's not ah like a like okay so steak is not a human conspiracy like a dog still understands. What steak is it might know it by a different name like maybe steak for a dog is like. 01:29:49.14 mikebledsoe Right. 01:29:58.00 Max Shank Wolf Af or something like that I don't I don't know exactly what it's like for a dog but like money is and language are purely human conspiracies like we made all this stuff up because it's useful so they're useful lies. Essentially words are useful symbols so that we can. 01:30:09.82 mikebledsoe I'll go ask my buddies dog. 01:30:35.78 Max Shank Project these ideas ah into ah interchangeable parts Basically and that's what we're looking for with money is it's the ultimate interchangeable part because it's like ah an I O you that everybody agrees on it's a. Ah, accepted anywhere right? So it's money's like God It's if you believe in it it it is ah infinite Power. It's total potential and it's such a useful tool. There's no I can't. 01:31:31.92 mikebledsoe Yeah. 01:31:49.52 Max Shank It's so difficult for me to envision a society where we didn't have a way to exchange goods modularly. You know people talk about the fungibility or non-fungibility of token. Sometimes the fact that a dollar is a dollar is a dollar is a dollar is a dollar and I mean it did used to be backed by gold which was cool but let's not be too wistful over the glory days. But in any case. The fact that we have it and that we can change it and move it so quickly means that I can you know ah work under a bridge given hand jobs send it back to my scientist grandpa in Hungary and he can use that money. To build a nuclear fusion reactor or something like that right? That's that's incredible that you don't have to but based on my hungarian physicist ah grandfather I was thinking of him every time I gave a hand job under the bridge. 01:33:40.52 mikebledsoe That's based on a true story folks. 01:34:04.94 Max Shank I was just thinking this is going to be unlimited energy for everybody I'm not going to let you down pop pop anyway, ah, but but that's that's what I mean is like you you can turn hand jobs into cold fusion potentially and that is why money is cool. Ah, so we wouldn't have these computers and microphones the ubiquity of the cell phone like all this stuff was done because we were able to transfer this um potential of human action and it just it kind of reminds me of this funky idea I had. When I was none learning about like the coins and the cryptos and things like that and I thought it'd be cool to have something called like a handycoin that was ah just based off of the value that a person placed on like 1 hour of labor. 01:35:50.38 mikebledsoe I Thought you were gonna say hand jobs but handicoin and a yeah. 01:35:59.34 Max Shank No, not not not hand that would be even better. None coin equals one hj full stop. That's actually a better idea now that I think about anyway, but the whole idea was like you know you can put a posting on Craigslist or you can. Ah, go out to home depot and you can find like ah, a laborer who will do sometimes skilled sometimes unskilled. No no, no, no, but but but that's what that would be for is just for unskilled labor. Every hour is equal and so. 01:36:43.94 mikebledsoe Um, are you are you saying that every hour is equal in value. No no okay. 01:37:05.52 mikebledsoe Ah, so you create a caste system. 01:37:12.36 Max Shank The value of that coin the value of that coin would be related to what someone is willing to do for an hour like 1 hour of unskilled labor. Ah, but at least it's tied to like. 01:37:37.54 mikebledsoe Isn't that how just capitalism works. 01:37:50.30 Max Shank The floor of ah one of of labor per hour right? It's like it's like it sets the floor which it is a value. Yeah, but it's so it's different. It's only correlated to ah. 01:37:51.24 mikebledsoe So there's a minimum. 01:38:02.88 mikebledsoe Sounds like a minimum wage. 01:38:23.40 Max Shank Like someone actually doing real work I don't know like I said it's not a night. It's not an idea that I've taken over the finish line. Ah, but it's ah this idea that it needs to be tied to something and right now it's tied to our belief and that works. 01:38:32.00 mikebledsoe I'm not sure I'm following. 01:39:02.40 mikebledsoe Yeah I I think the problem that people have with money right now is that? Ah, there are a handful of people who are controlling how it flows so ah, not necessarily. 01:39:03.26 Max Shank Weirdly enough it. It's not great, but it's okay like if. 01:39:29.48 Max Shank Has that always been the case. 01:39:39.64 mikebledsoe Not not to this degree I would say that. Um, so for instance when when the dollar is tied to gold money. Well I'm I'm talking about primarily money so like um so on 1 hand you have. 01:39:52.24 Max Shank Are we talking about money or wealth or both and. 01:40:16.00 Max Shank Um, like not. 01:40:17.52 mikebledsoe And organization that decides. Ah how much the interest rates are going to be like what's what's the debt going to be worth and then you and then they also control the amount of money that's in the system. So those are like really big picture things. So so of when you're. 01:40:49.44 Max Shank Oh yeah, big time. 01:40:56.00 mikebledsoe When you're working with gold which you know all governments have inflated there even when it was gold. They did things like shave off the edges and you know there's ah until people figured it out and they lost faith in it. Yeah, they have so you can't fake it and so then um, so. 01:41:14.14 Max Shank That's why those coins have ridges right? That's why they put the ridges on the coins. Ah. 01:41:31.34 mikebledsoe The money supply and then the cost of debt is 2 major things that are that are employed big picture and then you have taxes so that I think the tax code is 176000 pages something like that. Ah, it might be a little bit maybe 76 maybe oh there. There's a. 01:41:56.40 Max Shank I think maybe only 76 but but but but None like you that should be simple. 01:42:09.52 mikebledsoe There's a ton of there's all, there's but there's basically all these rule the whole point in the tax code is to incentivize people under a certain type of behavior and it's it's. 01:42:32.34 Max Shank And hide and hide what's actually happening and create as much of a smokescreen as possible for what's actually going on. 01:42:43.48 mikebledsoe Yeah, there's they they want to they want to confuse like the majority of people need to be confused about what's going on because if the majority of people knew exactly what was going on there'd be riots in the streets. But the. 01:43:07.80 Max Shank We would sell a lot more guillotines if that were the case Guillotine sales. That's that's what I'm actually getting into right now you know pendulums and government swing I think we're like perfect time to invest in guillot in Guillotines I think ah. 01:43:28.34 mikebledsoe Well, how let's look at the tax code I got to do this search on the tax code. 01:43:44.46 Max Shank You know you can sell your ultimate Orgasm formula and then I'm going to sell guillotines for the coming revolutions. 01:43:53.44 mikebledsoe Yeah, yeah, we got figure I got to figure out how this tax code thing. Um all right. There's the myth of the 70000 page federal tax code. 01:44:10.78 Max Shank It's really long. 01:44:19.60 Max Shank It has to do with um like references to it because there are amendments to the tax code and there are cases that have modified how it's interpreted. 01:44:38.52 mikebledsoe So the tax code has nearly tripled is it ah the tax code has nearly tripled and linked over the last thirty years um 70000 is not true. The tax code was only 20 so so it's it's. It's like triple of the None pages. So I think it's anyways thirty years ago is 2600? Oh no, none the tax code was only about 20. It's so funny and this blog says it's only None pages long. Um, yeah, but the point so. 01:45:47.60 Max Shank Ah, it shouldn't even be 2600 words long fuckers. Let alone pages. 01:45:50.40 mikebledsoe So um, yeah, so the so the so you've got a small group of people controlling the supply of the money you got a small group of people controlling the ah cost of the debt and then you have a small I think between. Ah, the senate the congress and all the the the the top government I think is around None and something like None something people so None something people are controlling 350000000 people. 01:46:55.92 Max Shank It's leverage. 01:47:07.30 mikebledsoe With a 2600 page tax code that incentivizes certain types of purchases disincentivizes other types of purchases. Um it ah it does it does really incentivize investing in real estate which is interesting because you can. 01:47:21.92 Max Shank Right. 01:47:35.14 Max Shank Well let's also look at this because it's not ah like those politicians are only like fabricating these ideas in their own mind. They're having people come in and say like hey we're this ah business that does one ah 0 every month. 01:48:07.94 mikebledsoe These politicians don't write these laws. These laws are being brought to them. 01:48:14.22 Max Shank And and and right and like hey Joe blow politician um, you know I was thinking. Ah you know you could you could really help us out. Ah, but you know I don't want you to work too hard. So I I went I went ahead and prepared the law for you. 01:48:49.32 mikebledsoe Yeah, which the law the which the law is like 10000 pages long. There's no way who the fuck reads those things. No one reads that shit. 01:48:52.82 Max Shank I went ahead and had my lawyers prepare this law for you and I I left this spot at the it's about 10000 pages I sent a copy to all your colleagues already I put a place here for you to sign your name at the bottom and I think it's a really really good idea for you to do this. 01:49:27.48 mikebledsoe And and we'll we'll pay your son like $10000000 a year for advisory. 01:49:32.46 Max Shank And because like power. Oh dude that guy is that guy is fucking set but you know Hidden hidden in that fucking quagmire of verbal violence in that fucking law that's been written is. How um competition and free market is prevented right? It's not like going to be awesome for everybody. Ah, it's gone too far but it's just because we have set up the rules of the game. 01:50:24.98 mikebledsoe Yep. 01:50:46.98 Max Shank To allow for too much of ah human error. Basically. 01:50:49.88 mikebledsoe Yeah, and so this is where um so we have to believe in the money I'm talking about belief which means you got to trust it right? And so we're at a in my lifetime we're at a record breaking low of trust in. 01:51:10.16 Max Shank Yeah. 01:51:28.32 mikebledsoe Government or the record breaking low and trust in media I think that in since the emergence of crypto there has been a trickling of people in droves that don't trust the money that that trust ah 1 of the things that web 3 01:51:59.64 Max Shank A. 01:52:07.38 mikebledsoe Really ah has brought about is it requires less trust because you can't fuck with it like it doesn't matter how much somebody wants to change something. It's not humanly possible to change some of these rules and how these crypto. 01:52:46.54 Max Shank Question for you is web 3 basically trying to use blockchain technology to store web data and provide server. Ah for websites. 01:52:47.00 mikebledsoe Cryptos work. Yeah. 01:53:13.50 mikebledsoe Yeah, there's that's that's one that's so it's a ledger well blockchain is just a really advanced ledger system that's automatically updated in decentralized web 3 in blockchain everyone in the same. 01:53:23.66 Max Shank It's like decentralized web servers. 01:53:35.48 Max Shank No, but web 3 I'm asking. Okay, I'm okay. 01:53:51.80 mikebledsoe Yeah, the the way I understand it. It's it's just web 3 is kind of you say blockchain and people get a little confused and go web 3 and they go oh like you know web one was we can send information from computer to computer web two was we have html and everything's visually we have visual graphics and. And we can. There's clickable things and and then social media and then Web 3 is blockchain mother of all demos. 01:54:39.84 Max Shank You should see the mother look up the mother of all demos sometime it shows what it's fucking great I think it was in the 60 s we were able to do like ah word documents and video chat and all kinds of shit in like the 60 s. 01:55:14.74 mikebledsoe Um, yeah, yeah, yeah. 01:55:19.48 Max Shank Called the mother of all demos um wild what was capable way back then and then that wasn't ubiquitous for people that wasn't common for people until forty years later something like that not nuts. 01:55:41.10 mikebledsoe Right? Yeah, there's that's it's fascinating. Um. 01:55:54.74 Max Shank So that's the leverage though is how fast we can communicate a message a lot of ah censorship speaking of like the None amendment kind of. 01:56:06.90 mikebledsoe Well, there's also you not just how fast can you communicate a message but can it actually get through the noise. How loud how loud is your message and how well received is it because there's there's a there's a level of skill that's involved in being heard. 01:56:21.14 Max Shank Yeah, well and. Absolutely no question I mean I think that's why stand-up comedy is one of those places where the rubber meets the road on free speech a little bit because if you're allowed to say anything as long as it's a joke. Then you can still at least get that message into people's minds without having ah it be controlled and that's ultimately what drives a population if if suddenly it was the law like so that's that's what's kind of interesting. You know I don't think it's good to have. Like a lot of power in the hands of a few people. It's back to leverage same thing as a hammer right? It's physical leverage in different ways. Um, but if they suddenly made it like the law to kill None puppy every week like let's just say that became the law people would not do that. 01:58:27.84 mikebledsoe Well, it's got to be Ah, it's got to be done in small bits I mean all right? So this may actually happen. Yeah this this may actually happen right? So they So there's the media's put out the yeah, the media has put out some notices that. 01:58:29.80 Max Shank Because the collective consciousness of whether that's okay or not. 01:58:44.64 Max Shank You're like talking Boiling Boiling Frog right? Yeah yeah, the puppy killing oh shit, you know what you're right? The puppy flew. 01:59:07.84 mikebledsoe You know some people are getting getting. Ah yeah, they're getting Well they're getting coronavirus they're It's like oh statistically we find that people who are around dogs more get coronavirus. Whatever. 01:59:17.52 Max Shank Copy flu. 01:59:27.40 Max Shank Oh God Oh don't don't even put this out. It's so easily could happen. You could get people to kill puppies as long as you said puppies increased the no fucking way. Wow. 01:59:35.98 mikebledsoe So so here's the thing there are cities in China where they've gone in and killed all the dogs. Yeah, and so it's already happened and so um, which. 02:00:04.80 Max Shank Heavy heavy. 02:00:12.90 mikebledsoe When we think about that happening in China we go. Yeah that's totally believable because they're under some weird you know they're they're under some like heavy mind control. But I think that people I think americans give themselves way too much credit on how ah how little. They they think they they're being exposed and are subject to way less propaganda I would say it's less propagandized in the United States like we're not as susceptible because there's so much competing information where there's not as much competition for information there. But the propaganda is real. 02:01:04.92 Max Shank Overt. It's just yeah, ah. 02:01:26.32 mikebledsoe And so all you gotta do? It's been proven in the last two years all you gotta do is make people think that they're gonna die if they don't do this thing and they'll fucking. Do it. They'll strap 3 masks on they'll put an experimental vaccine in their body and they'll they'll ah make statements like. 02:01:56.76 Max Shank Oh god we just got flagged. That's us we're done. He's in Texas go get him I was never here. Ah. 02:02:01.54 mikebledsoe We should throw people. We're done off Spotify. Ah I'm in Texas I'm in Texas good luck. So yeah, um. 02:02:34.34 Max Shank Oh my gosh. So it's all it really is it all comes down to force right? It all comes down to how much of an impact you can make with words or with stuff it all comes and it's leverage. 02:02:52.90 mikebledsoe Yeah, because with the words you can still like if if ah, a small group of people can convince the large group of people that I'm a bad guy. They don't even have to get their hands dirty and so they use mind control to create violence. 02:03:21.18 Max Shank Totally, you're separated from it. 02:03:32.34 mikebledsoe And that's another thing we've witnessed big time in the last two years is they don't have to fucking create violence. They'll all they got to do is leverage some media to get people really hot and bothered then put. 02:03:50.38 Max Shank Nobody wants to get their hands dirty. 02:04:08.20 mikebledsoe Certain Spokes holes out there to to tell people how they should think what they should think and next thing you know things are burning. Yeah. 02:04:18.56 Max Shank Hurt people hurt people right? hurt people hurt people. Ah and the more removed you are from the impact the easier it is like imagine if ah. Kind of like in game of thrones. The one who passes the sentence or the one who passes the sentence should carry it out like if you're gonna sentence a guide to death. Yeah, that was a stark thing. Yeah, well, it's cause it's like really warm weather and there's. 02:05:02.80 mikebledsoe Yeah I mean that that was ah and ah that was a stark thing as the the northerners believed in that but you know you go to the South a bunch of soft pussies. 02:05:32.40 Max Shank Ah titties and asses everywhere on the beach like I I don't blame them I get it like I I wouldn't be too like I wouldn't be too Stern with duty if the beach was like full of naked chicks and coconuts like what are we fighting for. 02:05:34.12 mikebledsoe Teddy's everywhere I I. 02:06:07.20 Max Shank There's food and titties everywhere. Ah but I think that idea of if you're going to be the one who passes the sentence you should carry it out the corollary or the inverse of that is if you can pass judgment. 02:06:06.20 mikebledsoe Ah, ah. 02:06:44.66 Max Shank And be totally removed from the action if you can tell a guy to tell another guy to tell another guy to tell another guy to take a drone to this other guy so that guy can drone this fucking stranger
This edition of the Seven Ages Audio Journal Podcast begins with a discussion of the latest research concerning the peopling of the Americas. Next, the team catches up from all over North and South America as the Seven Ages and Chasing History Spring road trip wraps up. We are then joined by Kent State University professor Dr. Metin Eren for an in-depth discussion on the efficacy of the Clovis projectile point in killing proboscideans. Eren, who holds a Ph.D. in Anthropology from Southern Methodist University, as well as an M.A. inExperimental Archaeology from the University of Exeter, an M.A. in Anthropology, from Southern Methodist University, and an A.B. in Anthropology from Harvard College, shares an academic perspective with the team about the world of experimental archaeology, and what we can learn from this ever-advancing discipline. How can modern science be applied toward a deeper understanding not only of the Clovis projectile point, but also of the many other practices held by ancient Americans, and early people elsewhere around the world? The Seven Ages Research Associates dig into these, and many other questions with Dr. Eren on this special edition of the Seven Ages Audio Journal.
