“This is a little trivia, ‘Where was the first interview on Podcast Junkies recorded?’ In my car, at night in Silver Lake. This sounds so sketch by the way. Across the street from a restaurant. Why did we do it that way?” (10:10) (Harry & Espree)
“I’m gonna say something that I probably shouldn’t say out loud but eff it. I feel like now that everybody’s in podcasting I kinda want to move on to the new.” (18:22)
“We have those same opportunities now to create what the business models are as podcasters. And that’s extremely exciting to me.” (22:17)
“I consider myself an artist. I’ve always described podcasting as painting audio.” (26:33)
“I’m interested in guiding people how to create deep, meaningful relationships and helping others to do so, to make it more of a viral effect and scale human connectivity.” (31:55)
“The skills that we developed by having the personality types that surrounded us ended up creating skills within us as adults that we maybe weren’t aware of.” (48:45)
“If I could embrace the journey rather than be attached to my idea of the outcome and just embrace that my whole life is a story and I don’t know how it’s gonna unfold, maybe I would feel a lot more peace.” (1:03:42)

“The simplest definition of rhetoric is that it’s the study of hyper-designed messages.”(12:20)
“I always have that orientation, but it’s that working class orientation. If you’re going to teach me something, I need to have a use for it.” (19:11)
“Everybody on the left who thinks that they’re being rational are not being rational. They are, at best, partially rational or pseudo-rational. So, the project I’m working on now is a logic primer for people to train people in actual logic so they can clean up their own act and use it better.” (28:13)
“There’s so many things in a comedy club environment that are made technologically for people to laugh. All you have to do is say something kinda funny and they want to laugh. If you can actually hit funny, it just explodes.” (42:01)
“I love great conversations. For me, when I’m the podcast interviewer, I like to get into the space of ‘what am I really interested in here?’” (52:46)
