"The film industry is big, it's oversaturated and profit-driven, and time-consuming. And oftentimes, very frequently, disappointing films just happen and we call them flops."

- Doctor Whenever

X3: The Last Stand + Dark Phoenix
Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness
Blankman
Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny

episode TWENTY: Consciousness in a Nutshell

“You are an individual, unique piece of this whole that we are all part of, and it’s not complete without you.”

– Lindy Nelson

🧠🌰🪷

In this psychonautical odyssey, some sober guy named Tom (NOT from Myspace) is joined by two lovely humans, Jay and Lindy Nelson, authors of a book titled Consciousness in a Nutshell, to crack open the endlessly complex black box that is consciousness.

This episode won't teach you more than a 4-year degree — but it's more compact, less costly, and lightyears more enjoyable than a lecture from an uptight professor who insists on everyone calling him "Doctor." (You know who you are, Dr. Robert. 👀)

Turn on, tune in, and D̶R̶O̶P̶ O̶U̶T̶ voyage inward with us!

Course Outline:

The enlightening potential of Creative Nonfiction storytelling
Self-awareness: is it possible to truly perceive yourself the way others perceive you?
Social media algorithms pushing outlandish conspiracy theories (like Dave Chapelle being replaced by a clone of himself)
Jay’s revelatory Near Death Experience (NDE) — “The Life Review Boomerang”
Altered States 101: how to override the narrative self (EGO) and the default mode network (DMN), with or without psychedelics

Credits for musical interludes/segments in this episode:

Blue Dot Sessions
Broad Sky
William Claeson

episode TWENTY-TWO: Tip Jars and Tailfeathers

"I highly recommend touching grass. I've touched so much grass recently."

Fidget Cube Guru

🍽️🤑🐦

In this fidgety chirp-a-thon, Fidget Cube Guru, Kenzient, and Tink (a green parakeet) split their bills overthinking about tipping culture, the highs and lows of owning a parakeet, and the subtle art of giving the right amount of f*cks.

Chirp chirp:

tipping culture/etiquette in the Canadian restaurant industry
is having a small-scale, niche audience nowadays better than virality and fame?
the widespread lack of empathy in online interactions and why we need to listen to each other
the joys of touching grass—"Earthing"
letting go of the stories we tell ourselves and giving ourselves the freedom to fail
