Matt and Shane's Secret Podcast

I read the other memoir you mentioned the Born Again with Chuck Colson.

That'd be the book Infinite Jest was basically a big big portion of that was about how as technology gets better tech entertainment becomes so addictive that it's just going to start sucking the soul out of people.

I think Infinite Jest is a joke. The book? It's a great book. No, I think the whole book is a joke.

Structurally, it's a joke, I think, because it's that long and then all the action of the book takes place like outside of the book... with a thousand footnotes.

What's that uh Blade Runner It's called Electric Sheep It's a Philip K Dick book It was Blade Runner Where he goes and has to kill the robots

It's called Electric Sheep. It's a Philip K. Dick book. It was Blade Runner. Where he goes and has to kill the robots.

and he, didn't he live in a tower? ... And he, didn't he live in a tower? ... and I think he had the red book.

He has a red book where he like for real just lost his mind and started writing about like demons and like people

Johan Hari, I think his name is or whatever his name, but he uh no you gotta cite it He said it's not yo Val. Yo Val Hari is like the evolution nerd Johan Hari is a guy who did Chasing the Scream in the other book

But here's the thing. I read the book Chasing the Scream by. Yeah. Great book. They talk about that.

So he he's like kissing ladies bellies and they're like, bro, go away. You're kind of weird. And then he goes away to college and he is like he only gets along with one dude. It's belly time. Well, this time to explore this dude's gay.

I thought it was more of like you can follow your dreams or not. Either way, you know, it's talking there more about like like they thought like coming was the same back then. So this guy was like under the under the impression that like coming was bad.

It's the same thing. How about they used to fucking diss our boy Marquis just because he wanted to fuck other chicks because he loved his babe.

Everybody in the royal court was like, this guy sucks. He's not doing our orgy. He's not doing our orgies and having side pieces in our freak mansion.

Well, dude, he says, I'm here to fight for freedom. Yeah, fuck this. I'll give you guys a bunch of money. Let me fight.

When he did the vow of silence, I mean, he was like, everything I say sucks. And he's like, I'll be silent. And people think I'm deep as hell.

It's a real bummer when that shit goes on. Well, I just stopped the part where the king invited like the king tried to reason with everybody and use them as pawns. It didn't work.

I read the book, Lafayette, who was the man too.

I'm gonna read the book.

I heard the books, they heard it. I heard it's awesome.

I heard it's very difficult to read.

It's all about like a dude sitting there tapping into his consciousness.

He goes and rakes his sand He wants you to His son was asking for it He was basically saying you know what he wants he wants to be hit And I was like god damn Well he has mental health issues

I've told you I've been every night I've been listening to this book. It's called a Nuclear War scenario. Yeah, it's terrifying.

The book's so scary. I don't even think about accidents.

There's a book "The Body Keeps the Score" by everyone talks about a Besser vanil cock or whatever his name is He was dude. This guy was a goat psychologist and they fuck they pulled some bullshit Like me to ish kind of stuff on him where it was like he was inappropriate this book for anyone who like likes this kind of stuff, it's like the Like in psychology, there's like a trauma focused field and it's like I think it's one of the most important things anyone can like learn about at all who like Somewhat feels like their mind might be somewhat out of sorts, which is probably pretty much everybody. Yeah, dude

It's crazy the stuff they talk about how you get just zapped as a kid not realizing it You build your whole personality on these like marbles and they just get like irritated throughout the day. You're like what what? Totally it's fucked up. Yeah, it's fucked up

I read your book.

the one thing that I feel like was, uh, in the book a lot, you talked about how stress was something you were really on the back burner that you kind of put to kind of like the day to day and a health perspective.

Is there any, the book, obviously read the book, dude, read the book, listen to the podcast.
