WEBVTT 1 00:00:04.080 --> 00:00:06.679 All right, Well we're live. No intro here. This is 2 00:00:06.719 --> 00:00:11.199 a special live stream. If you guys haven't seen the 3 00:00:11.199 --> 00:00:15.039 announcement on X I am for a limited time just 4 00:00:15.080 --> 00:00:18.320 for a nostalge of purposes around the holiday season, something 5 00:00:18.359 --> 00:00:21.399 I'd been thinking about doing for a while. I am 6 00:00:21.519 --> 00:00:26.719 temporarily resurrecting the Daniel three podcast, which was my first podcast. 7 00:00:26.879 --> 00:00:30.480 And I don't know, maybe it's just like an autism 8 00:00:30.519 --> 00:00:32.119 thing where I was just like, I anted it one 9 00:00:32.159 --> 00:00:35.479 ninety three, and I were, yeah, anteddute ninety three, and 10 00:00:35.520 --> 00:00:38.240 I was like, that's just such a weird, dumb number 11 00:00:38.240 --> 00:00:41.679 to end it on. And I've also thought about trying 12 00:00:41.719 --> 00:00:46.840 to venture out of my Biblical Anarchy podcast Niche and 13 00:00:46.920 --> 00:00:49.039 maybe start a second show that's more grab bag. And 14 00:00:49.079 --> 00:00:53.000 so there's an experiment to see if you people want that. 15 00:00:53.200 --> 00:00:56.479 And so to set this off, this is a little 16 00:00:56.520 --> 00:01:00.719 limited series I'm doing down memory Lane to finish the 17 00:01:00.799 --> 00:01:04.599 Danial three podcast. Right, I have with me a good 18 00:01:04.599 --> 00:01:08.439 friend of mine and one of the first guests I 19 00:01:08.480 --> 00:01:10.120 ever had on I thought, actually, I think we're one 20 00:01:10.120 --> 00:01:14.280 of the first guests on both of our show respectively. Yeah, 21 00:01:14.359 --> 00:01:16.879 but a Jose Gallison of No Way Jose. How you 22 00:01:16.920 --> 00:01:19.319 doing tonight, brother doing well? 23 00:01:19.760 --> 00:01:22.239 Pleasure to be back on the show. It has been 24 00:01:22.319 --> 00:01:24.120 a while, but yeah, I'm pretty sure we like started 25 00:01:24.159 --> 00:01:28.200 literally the same exact time. Hell, even your I think 26 00:01:28.239 --> 00:01:30.840 you're using the thumbnail right now too, the one that 27 00:01:30.959 --> 00:01:33.159 uh yes, it was made. It's like part of the 28 00:01:33.200 --> 00:01:35.920 liberty movement thing, which was like the thing I was 29 00:01:35.920 --> 00:01:38.120 like part of at the beginning that just kind of 30 00:01:38.120 --> 00:01:40.000 fell off. So yeah, it was it. It feels like 31 00:01:40.040 --> 00:01:41.840 forever ago, but that was like what like probably four 32 00:01:41.920 --> 00:01:45.239 years ago now at this point, give or take, but 33 00:01:45.560 --> 00:01:46.599 it was around twenty twenty. 34 00:01:46.680 --> 00:01:49.439 Yeah, well it is exactly here. I'm gonna share my 35 00:01:49.480 --> 00:01:54.799 screen here. Uh where is it? Appearents on no Way, Jose. 36 00:01:55.680 --> 00:01:59.920 It was exactly yeah, four years ago according to YouTube. 37 00:02:00.000 --> 00:02:02.159 Oh jeez, appear until no Way, Jose. Look at look 38 00:02:02.159 --> 00:02:03.200 at those two little kids. 39 00:02:03.560 --> 00:02:10.240 Yeah, look how Jackson Tan I was, uh. 40 00:02:09.759 --> 00:02:12.919 You're you're, you're you're trending. Uh we're trying to get 41 00:02:12.919 --> 00:02:15.639 opposite directions. I think i've uh I've I've slimmed down 42 00:02:15.680 --> 00:02:18.919 a little bit and uh scruffed up a little more. 43 00:02:20.680 --> 00:02:21.280 Yeah I have. 44 00:02:21.400 --> 00:02:23.240 I'm not in shape at all like I was then, 45 00:02:23.360 --> 00:02:25.400 but uh, I'm getting back in shape now, I'm working 46 00:02:25.400 --> 00:02:27.319 on it. I got I got a little bit fat, 47 00:02:27.319 --> 00:02:30.960 little discussed myself. But uh yeah, uh yeah it is wild. 48 00:02:31.080 --> 00:02:34.840 It's a long long road. Uh started this about four 49 00:02:34.960 --> 00:02:37.120 years ago, and now I've gotten to the point to 50 00:02:37.159 --> 00:02:39.000 where it's a sort. 51 00:02:38.759 --> 00:02:43.319 Of profitable side gig. So hey, here we are. 52 00:02:43.360 --> 00:02:43.719 We are. 53 00:02:43.879 --> 00:02:44.560 I can't complain. 54 00:02:44.680 --> 00:02:49.280 We are C slash B level tier libertarian podcasters who 55 00:02:49.479 --> 00:02:52.039 make a side living podcasting. 56 00:02:52.400 --> 00:02:54.680 Yeah, I'm at the point where I think I like 57 00:02:54.840 --> 00:02:57.240 to put in brass rooms. I make like basically a 58 00:02:57.360 --> 00:03:00.879 quarter uh podcasting in a day, do what I would 59 00:03:01.120 --> 00:03:04.800 like my real job. So it's like it's like almost 60 00:03:04.879 --> 00:03:07.479 that like borderline, like should I just quit my job? 61 00:03:08.000 --> 00:03:09.759 Like no, I need to be more like a half 62 00:03:09.960 --> 00:03:12.639 and then I can say fuck my job. 63 00:03:12.719 --> 00:03:15.680 Yeah, could you know, like if you quit, you could 64 00:03:15.719 --> 00:03:17.680 scale up, but like you need to be able to 65 00:03:17.800 --> 00:03:20.400 kind of count on that and project it. And I 66 00:03:20.520 --> 00:03:22.719 kind of have privately for me too, kind of like 67 00:03:22.759 --> 00:03:24.439 a number i'd want to be at. And even then 68 00:03:24.520 --> 00:03:27.240 i'd probably just cut down to part time and you know, 69 00:03:27.599 --> 00:03:31.120 feel it out for a while before I completely did it. 70 00:03:31.120 --> 00:03:35.240 But I'm also just I'm more risk adverse. So that's 71 00:03:35.319 --> 00:03:37.319 just the way I am. 72 00:03:37.719 --> 00:03:39.400 The uh well, yeah, I mean when you got family, 73 00:03:39.439 --> 00:03:41.599 you can't just be risking it all all the time. Actually, 74 00:03:41.759 --> 00:03:44.199 because I keep trying to tell be like want to 75 00:03:44.240 --> 00:03:45.680 just like sit my wife time, but like I don't 76 00:03:45.680 --> 00:03:47.439 think you understand like it. But if I like stream 77 00:03:47.520 --> 00:03:51.240 every single day, I'll just really nail the algo and 78 00:03:51.360 --> 00:03:53.199 like we'll be doing like all right and not too 79 00:03:53.199 --> 00:03:55.840 long because they just sound like a crazy person, like 80 00:03:55.919 --> 00:03:58.080 some husband trying to convince his wife. They're like, I'm 81 00:03:58.120 --> 00:04:00.919 just telling you, like no, my my, my garage band 82 00:04:01.039 --> 00:04:04.240 is really gonna take it off you. But I mean 83 00:04:04.280 --> 00:04:05.919 when you already are seeing the money though, you're like, 84 00:04:06.280 --> 00:04:11.400 the money's there, So theoretically if we just upscale the volume, 85 00:04:11.560 --> 00:04:12.520 but yeah, it is. 86 00:04:12.599 --> 00:04:13.719 It is a you. 87 00:04:13.680 --> 00:04:16.279 Got to make sure things are solid for the family 88 00:04:16.319 --> 00:04:17.800 because that's what matters the most at the end of 89 00:04:17.839 --> 00:04:18.120 the day. 90 00:04:18.279 --> 00:04:18.600 Yeah. 91 00:04:18.639 --> 00:04:24.399 Well, well, speaking of money and making sure that podcasts 92 00:04:24.439 --> 00:04:27.399 are lucrative, I guess even though I'm here on the 93 00:04:27.480 --> 00:04:31.519 Daniel three podcast, I'm just gonna do a little bit 94 00:04:31.560 --> 00:04:34.600 of grifting for my LCI side, just to remind people 95 00:04:34.639 --> 00:04:37.680 this is our end of the year fundraising push. We're 96 00:04:37.720 --> 00:04:39.959 trying we have a we have a fifteen thousand dollars 97 00:04:40.800 --> 00:04:43.519 matching grant right now to try to really expand what 98 00:04:43.560 --> 00:04:47.600 we're doing next year, which not only is about you know, 99 00:04:47.639 --> 00:04:50.920 obviously paying all of us a little more hopefully so 100 00:04:50.959 --> 00:04:52.600 we can do more. That's the idea is like if 101 00:04:52.600 --> 00:04:54.959 we get if we have more money, we can pay 102 00:04:55.120 --> 00:04:58.759 our creators more, create more content. But it's also about 103 00:04:58.839 --> 00:05:01.879 trying to just on the podcasting side. We have like 104 00:05:02.160 --> 00:05:05.360 three or four books that we're working on publishing and 105 00:05:05.560 --> 00:05:08.319 as well as more events that we're trying to attend 106 00:05:08.720 --> 00:05:11.399 so that we can you know, make Libertarian Christian Institute 107 00:05:11.439 --> 00:05:13.680 more of a household name so you guys can go 108 00:05:13.759 --> 00:05:18.160 to a wrong one d there we go.

I think you're a little bit older 117 00:05:44.240 --> 00:05:44.439 than me. 118 00:05:44.560 --> 00:05:46.600 Right, I'm like a year old than you. 119 00:05:46.720 --> 00:05:50.639 Nothing, nothing substantial, We're about the same age, roughiki or 120 00:05:50.680 --> 00:05:51.319 take yeah. 121 00:05:51.160 --> 00:05:53.879 Yeah, there's a I don't know, I don't know which one. 122 00:05:53.920 --> 00:05:57.439 He's asking us to tell my hair. My hairstyle technique 123 00:05:57.480 --> 00:06:00.720 is just take gel and do bush.

Maybe that's why 128 00:06:11.720 --> 00:06:14.439 I'm more like pretty uh but uh, I don't know. 129 00:06:14.480 --> 00:06:15.879 I do get people to make comments in my hair. 130 00:06:15.879 --> 00:06:18.519 I don't do anything too crazy. I just do. I 131 00:06:18.800 --> 00:06:20.560 don't even know to say other than like a coment 132 00:06:20.680 --> 00:06:23.360 and sometimes like throw my hand through it and be 133 00:06:23.360 --> 00:06:24.920 like that looks cool and I'll walk away. 134 00:06:25.639 --> 00:06:27.759 I've actually spent more time it like I'm trying to 135 00:06:28.240 --> 00:06:29.680 grow the hair out a little bit more. But then 136 00:06:29.720 --> 00:06:32.040 I'm also, for the first time really ever, I'm trying 137 00:06:32.079 --> 00:06:34.000 to grow the beard out, which is a bit of 138 00:06:34.000 --> 00:06:36.759 a pain. I've finally gotten past the point where it 139 00:06:36.920 --> 00:06:39.720 looks just really scraggly and we're starting to get. 140 00:06:39.800 --> 00:06:41.160 A little bit of length to it. 141 00:06:41.800 --> 00:06:45.519 But I'm I'm I mean, hopefully I don't lose subscribers 142 00:06:45.519 --> 00:06:48.800 for this, but I am Jewish, So the struggle is 143 00:06:48.920 --> 00:06:50.959 trying to get the hair to actually just grow down 144 00:06:51.079 --> 00:06:54.560 and not just jew fro all the curls and stuff 145 00:06:54.600 --> 00:06:55.199 on the side. 146 00:06:55.319 --> 00:06:56.839 So I have to do I. 147 00:06:56.759 --> 00:06:59.639 Have to like get do little trims and get beard 148 00:06:59.680 --> 00:07:00.600 oil and stuff. 149 00:07:01.160 --> 00:07:02.079 But uh, my. 150 00:07:02.079 --> 00:07:04.800 Son's really into skillet and so he's just like he 151 00:07:04.879 --> 00:07:10.879 sees their lead uh singer John Cooper his hair style 152 00:07:10.959 --> 00:07:12.639 and beard style and like, Dad, you should do that. 153 00:07:12.800 --> 00:07:16.680 And so I'm I'm trying to live live, uh live 154 00:07:16.759 --> 00:07:19.759 my nine year old son's dream for him. 155 00:07:19.920 --> 00:07:24.120 So one day he too will be able to grow 156 00:07:24.240 --> 00:07:28.240 a relatively semi decent beard. Yeah, I'm not quite there yet. 157 00:07:28.560 --> 00:07:30.600 Maybe maybe one of these days I'll grow up. My 158 00:07:30.680 --> 00:07:33.800 ship doesn't connect quite like I'd like it too, Uh, 159 00:07:34.120 --> 00:07:36.759 but uh yeah, I mean it's a it's better than 160 00:07:36.759 --> 00:07:37.800 what I was dealing with back then. 161 00:07:37.879 --> 00:07:38.560 Yeah, they would think. 162 00:07:38.839 --> 00:07:40.360 I think it was still active duty of that time, 163 00:07:40.360 --> 00:07:42.399 so I probably was literally having to shave every single day. 164 00:07:42.439 --> 00:07:47.040 So things have changed along a lot since then. Uh, 165 00:07:47.079 --> 00:07:50.519 in more ways, than one for our shows, our jobs, 166 00:07:50.600 --> 00:07:53.439 all sorts of things the world. Uh, I mean we're 167 00:07:53.480 --> 00:07:54.879 living in crazy times, that's for sure. 168 00:07:55.000 --> 00:07:57.959 Well, and so like we've we both have evolved our 169 00:07:58.439 --> 00:08:02.959 not just our podcasts but our branding over time. And 170 00:08:02.959 --> 00:08:04.680 I'd say for the most part, like I think we've 171 00:08:04.720 --> 00:08:07.839 both like what we do, the product we give our 172 00:08:07.879 --> 00:08:12.160 listeners has improved. Although I still get a little nostalgic 173 00:08:12.199 --> 00:08:14.199 sometimes for the old days when it was like we 174 00:08:14.240 --> 00:08:16.720 didn't have anything to lose and we could be like 175 00:08:16.959 --> 00:08:21.000 just I don't know, like a little bit more. I don't 176 00:08:21.079 --> 00:08:24.680 think unhinged or experimental like I used to love your 177 00:08:24.959 --> 00:08:29.600 like your first intro with the the dancing WAYFU and 178 00:08:29.639 --> 00:08:33.759 the money printers and all that. Like any time I'd 179 00:08:33.759 --> 00:08:36.480 play that at work is just like, you know, just 180 00:08:37.159 --> 00:08:40.000 all my speakers rather than my my AirPod. You just 181 00:08:40.039 --> 00:08:41.759 get people looking over like, what the hell was that. 182 00:08:41.840 --> 00:08:46.720 Kay listening to? We had the same guy do our intros. 183 00:08:46.720 --> 00:08:48.120 That was crap. 184 00:08:48.159 --> 00:08:49.240 What was his Campbell? 185 00:08:49.320 --> 00:08:50.559 Yeah? Justin Campbell Cambell. 186 00:08:51.159 --> 00:08:57.039 Yeah, I couldn't find my my original intro. But I 187 00:08:57.039 --> 00:08:59.000 I what I did was just to show people that 188 00:08:59.440 --> 00:09:04.120 I again going down, going down, nostalgia lane. Here I 189 00:09:04.159 --> 00:09:06.240 went and found just like the last episode where I 190 00:09:06.279 --> 00:09:06.799 played it. 191 00:09:08.240 --> 00:09:16.480 To that was pretty decent. I mean, yeah, a. 192 00:09:16.399 --> 00:09:25.320 Lot of bass, so look yeah. 193 00:09:21.720 --> 00:09:26.840 And then it just goes crazy. So that was it 194 00:09:26.879 --> 00:09:27.360 was a yah. 195 00:09:27.399 --> 00:09:31.799 Mine just went Mine just went straight action, right, Yeah. Yeah, 196 00:09:31.919 --> 00:09:34.120 you had like the lobby stuff, like that's what that is. 197 00:09:34.159 --> 00:09:37.600 That's like the lobby vibe, like we're waiting, yeah, flicking 198 00:09:37.639 --> 00:09:40.360 some stuff, whereas I'm just like, boom, let's go. I 199 00:09:40.360 --> 00:09:42.039 still haven't even figured out how to do lobby stuff, 200 00:09:42.039 --> 00:09:44.039 and now, especially now that I'm doing more streams now, 201 00:09:44.039 --> 00:09:46.480 I need to figure it out. Kind of If anyone 202 00:09:46.559 --> 00:09:49.399 seen Timeline Cleanse how Raven does his how he has 203 00:09:49.440 --> 00:09:51.879 like the nice lobby little setup. I need to get 204 00:09:51.879 --> 00:09:53.919 good at producing on the end of things for sure. 205 00:09:54.240 --> 00:09:54.639 Yeah. 206 00:09:54.759 --> 00:09:57.080 Now there's a lot of channels out there that do 207 00:09:57.120 --> 00:09:59.240 a good job with that. I've just stuck to the 208 00:10:00.320 --> 00:10:02.360 I have a shorter intro now and I just have 209 00:10:02.440 --> 00:10:05.240 a custom made time or I don't use the stream 210 00:10:05.320 --> 00:10:08.799 yard default want anymore. Just so you start the stream 211 00:10:08.879 --> 00:10:11.440 with people there and you're not just talking to no 212 00:10:11.480 --> 00:10:14.720 one at the very very beginning. But I used to 213 00:10:14.759 --> 00:10:17.000 get I think towards the end. Sometimes I get complaints 214 00:10:17.039 --> 00:10:19.759 just be like, you know, your your episode are like 215 00:10:19.919 --> 00:10:22.200 the first three minutes are just nothing but just waiting 216 00:10:22.200 --> 00:10:24.480 for the episode to start. It's like, well, I don't know, 217 00:10:24.600 --> 00:10:27.559 like you get to you get to actually be there 218 00:10:27.559 --> 00:10:29.919 at the start rather than showing up five minutes late. 219 00:10:30.000 --> 00:10:32.320 So I don't know, Like, yeah, I know, some people 220 00:10:32.360 --> 00:10:34.320 really get into the whole lobby things. I mean, I 221 00:10:34.360 --> 00:10:37.519 think maybe it's like a bigger show thing, but you yeah, 222 00:10:36.720 --> 00:10:40.919 people like to talk and like the build up, the anticipation. 223 00:10:41.720 --> 00:10:42.159 I don't know. 224 00:10:42.200 --> 00:10:43.919 I am the kind of guy who gets annoyed when 225 00:10:43.919 --> 00:10:46.120 I'm like, oh, cool to see this episode's premiering, and 226 00:10:46.159 --> 00:10:48.320 then I go over to it and then like here's this, 227 00:10:48.559 --> 00:10:51.240 Like oh no, here's another fucking ninety second roll out 228 00:10:51.320 --> 00:10:53.799 that I have to wait for. Uh that is annoying, 229 00:10:53.840 --> 00:10:56.799 But uh, I guess people people it must work somehow. 230 00:10:56.840 --> 00:10:57.000 I know. 231 00:10:57.039 --> 00:10:59.240 It seems to be a thing people like, So I 232 00:10:59.279 --> 00:11:00.720 don't know, not for me. 233 00:11:01.240 --> 00:11:03.679 Yeah, I mean there's a lot of like I mean, 234 00:11:03.720 --> 00:11:06.200 when you watch what other people do, there's always like, 235 00:11:06.279 --> 00:11:08.200 I don't know how your brain works. I'm always looking 236 00:11:08.240 --> 00:11:09.799 at what people do and deciding if I want to 237 00:11:09.840 --> 00:11:13.639 copy that or or integrate it in some partial way 238 00:11:13.720 --> 00:11:16.639 into what I do. But it's then it's kind of 239 00:11:16.720 --> 00:11:20.200 like you know, experimenting and wanting to be original and 240 00:11:20.240 --> 00:11:23.679 not just like Okay, everyone who does podcasts does this, 241 00:11:23.960 --> 00:11:27.200 so that's doesn't mean necessarily I have to do it. 242 00:11:28.000 --> 00:11:28.279 I guess. 243 00:11:28.279 --> 00:11:30.679 The other thing is like, you know what, I feel 244 00:11:30.679 --> 00:11:32.440 like I've had you on before and we've talked a 245 00:11:32.440 --> 00:11:37.919 little bit about this, but like, obviously I'm revamping this 246 00:11:38.039 --> 00:11:40.480 just partly out of just kind of like just hey, 247 00:11:40.480 --> 00:11:42.039 this would be fun to do, and it was just 248 00:11:42.080 --> 00:11:44.000 literally on a whim kind of like that. And then 249 00:11:44.000 --> 00:11:45.600 also in the back of my mind, it's kind of 250 00:11:45.639 --> 00:11:49.720 like your show is more of a like you can 251 00:11:49.840 --> 00:11:52.399 kind of cover a wide array of topics, whereas I 252 00:11:52.440 --> 00:11:55.720 started out with a niche that although is like if 253 00:11:55.919 --> 00:11:59.960 if someone really wants to know about libertarianism and Christianity, 254 00:12:00.320 --> 00:12:04.080 than like it's like, okay, cool, this is like a 255 00:12:04.200 --> 00:12:07.200 really like like a good signal that like, hey, I 256 00:12:07.200 --> 00:12:10.080 should go check that out. On the other hand, it's 257 00:12:10.080 --> 00:12:11.759 like if I just want to like have a casual 258 00:12:11.799 --> 00:12:14.440 conversation with like you know you or like one of 259 00:12:14.440 --> 00:12:18.320 my friends, it's like, all right, like how do I 260 00:12:18.360 --> 00:12:20.960 fit that thematically into one of my what I'm doing? 261 00:12:22.080 --> 00:12:25.320 And so I'm kind of thinking about I don't necessarily 262 00:12:25.320 --> 00:12:27.519 want to like keep the Daniel three going again. I'm 263 00:12:27.559 --> 00:12:29.240 just trying to get it back to one hundred, just 264 00:12:29.279 --> 00:12:31.799 so like it it looks neater in the U because 265 00:12:31.799 --> 00:12:33.519 I had, like the old website still up people can 266 00:12:33.559 --> 00:12:35.519 go back and see all the episodes. Just thought it'd 267 00:12:35.559 --> 00:12:37.159 be cool if it actually showed a one hundred rather 268 00:12:37.200 --> 00:12:40.919 than ninety three. But it's like I do want to 269 00:12:41.159 --> 00:12:44.480 do like more of conversations just like this. On the 270 00:12:44.519 --> 00:12:46.759 one hand, I don't know if everyone's into that, But 271 00:12:46.840 --> 00:12:48.720 on the other hand, like I feel like it's just 272 00:12:48.720 --> 00:12:50.720 a good way for like sometimes people to get introduced 273 00:12:50.759 --> 00:12:53.200 into like like they might not want to go and 274 00:12:53.279 --> 00:12:56.559 jump right into like theory and they might just want 275 00:12:56.600 --> 00:12:58.480 to listen to people talk about stuff with a little 276 00:12:58.480 --> 00:13:01.120 bit of theory mixed in, which it's kind of more 277 00:13:01.200 --> 00:13:04.519 what I used to do until I joined the ELCI, 278 00:13:04.639 --> 00:13:08.080 which obviously, like they are an educational outfit right, like 279 00:13:08.200 --> 00:13:11.320 so that's their focus, which makes sense. But I guess 280 00:13:11.320 --> 00:13:13.480 I'm I want to have the best of both worlds, 281 00:13:13.480 --> 00:13:14.320 if that makes sense. 282 00:13:15.639 --> 00:13:18.120 Yeah, I mean, Daniel three did seem to be more 283 00:13:18.120 --> 00:13:20.960 of a variety show. Was the vibe that you had 284 00:13:21.000 --> 00:13:22.840 It was obviously had more of a bent towards a 285 00:13:23.240 --> 00:13:25.480 libertarian Christian type thing. 286 00:13:25.600 --> 00:13:26.639 But yeah, the. 287 00:13:28.480 --> 00:13:32.600 Yeah, the the newer stuff, the Elsie, the libertarian Christian 288 00:13:32.720 --> 00:13:35.000 Institute stuff that you're doing. Now obviously it's gonna be 289 00:13:35.000 --> 00:13:38.679 more religious. So I could see the dilemma you're dealing with. 290 00:13:39.080 --> 00:13:40.919 I mean, I did kind of make a point from 291 00:13:40.919 --> 00:13:45.200 the beginning to not really not niche myself too down 292 00:13:45.240 --> 00:13:47.840 too much, because even though like my show is very 293 00:13:47.840 --> 00:13:50.000 different from when it started, like very different, I feel 294 00:13:50.000 --> 00:13:53.399 like I've kind of gone through three major vibes. Like 295 00:13:53.440 --> 00:13:55.639 when I first started, I was I had a certain 296 00:13:55.679 --> 00:13:58.000 thing I was going for that got scrapped pretty quickly. 297 00:13:58.399 --> 00:13:59.919 Then it went to kind of being like a liberty 298 00:14:00.120 --> 00:14:03.159 in theory show. But even then I left it open 299 00:14:03.200 --> 00:14:05.279 to like where I cover other things, and it's over 300 00:14:05.360 --> 00:14:08.679 time become a para politics show to where I'm not 301 00:14:08.720 --> 00:14:12.320 even necessarily like really that into theory anymore. Like I'll 302 00:14:12.360 --> 00:14:16.440 cover it occasionally, you know, when it seems relative or relevant. 303 00:14:16.480 --> 00:14:18.799 But I've kind of moved past that and gotten to 304 00:14:18.919 --> 00:14:23.720 like focusing more in on parapolitics. You know, I've been 305 00:14:24.080 --> 00:14:27.799 I've covered a lot, like the Dutroux stuff, then Belgium, Okay, see, 306 00:14:27.840 --> 00:14:31.000 like things of that nature. That's kind of where I 307 00:14:31.440 --> 00:14:34.159 found myself at these days. But I'm still open to 308 00:14:34.200 --> 00:14:37.320 that changing in the future. And that's part of why 309 00:14:37.360 --> 00:14:40.120 I like that I stuck with no. I mean, maybe 310 00:14:40.159 --> 00:14:42.919 it's not the greatest for building an audience because people 311 00:14:43.000 --> 00:14:45.919 want like, oh, this is a conspiracy podcast, this is 312 00:14:45.919 --> 00:14:48.000 a theory podcast. But it's like, I mean, I know, 313 00:14:48.039 --> 00:14:51.080 it's just that's I just I don't really want to 314 00:14:51.080 --> 00:14:52.960 be one of the other I mean, for now, I'm 315 00:14:53.000 --> 00:14:55.320 kind of basically a conspiracy podcast, and I'm good with 316 00:14:55.360 --> 00:14:55.679 that for. 317 00:14:55.679 --> 00:14:57.320 Now, but I'm not willing to commit to that. 318 00:14:57.840 --> 00:14:59.679 My add will set in at some point and I'll 319 00:14:59.679 --> 00:15:02.600 probably want to I'll probably yo yo back to like 320 00:15:02.639 --> 00:15:04.600 theory or some other thing or something. 321 00:15:05.320 --> 00:15:05.919 At some point. 322 00:15:05.919 --> 00:15:08.879 I'll end up finishing my Democracy The God that Fails 323 00:15:08.960 --> 00:15:12.320 a series with Toad, you know, But for now, I 324 00:15:12.440 --> 00:15:16.399 just don't really care about theory, so I know, I 325 00:15:16.480 --> 00:15:21.480 just I more or less treat it as like a. 326 00:15:19.919 --> 00:15:21.480 An area for exploration. 327 00:15:21.679 --> 00:15:24.080 Like even my new morning Dump show that I've been doing, 328 00:15:24.120 --> 00:15:26.519 like my live stream show, they've been doing, you know, 329 00:15:26.519 --> 00:15:28.519 probably like three days, three to five days a week. 330 00:15:29.120 --> 00:15:31.440 It's kind of almost like I've literally it's just stuff 331 00:15:31.480 --> 00:15:35.559 that I saved in my in my bookmark folder of 332 00:15:35.679 --> 00:15:37.399 stuff that I wanted to cover, like, so it's a 333 00:15:37.399 --> 00:15:38.960 lot of it's like articles that I want to read 334 00:15:39.120 --> 00:15:41.519 or stuff like it. So it's almost like a research environment. 335 00:15:41.840 --> 00:15:43.320 So I'm just kind of going through the news of 336 00:15:43.320 --> 00:15:46.200 the day that I'm like I've kind of hand selected through, 337 00:15:46.240 --> 00:15:48.720 like oh, just haven't had time during the day to 338 00:15:48.759 --> 00:15:51.120 read about whatever given thing, just bookmarked it for later, 339 00:15:51.159 --> 00:15:53.000 and then during the show, we sit down and we 340 00:15:53.039 --> 00:15:55.559 go through it together and we learn whatever the given 341 00:15:55.639 --> 00:15:57.279 thing of the day is. So I don't know, I 342 00:15:57.360 --> 00:15:59.399 just my show is kind of more or less dictated 343 00:15:59.399 --> 00:16:02.039 by wanting to learn stuff. So I've kind of just 344 00:16:02.360 --> 00:16:05.679 like intentionally like not niche myself down. But I get 345 00:16:05.759 --> 00:16:08.759 the need for some people too niche. I mean, obviously 346 00:16:08.840 --> 00:16:12.159 that's a it's worthwhile. Like if you are only doing 347 00:16:12.279 --> 00:16:15.440 like say Christian libertarian content, it would be like, well, 348 00:16:15.480 --> 00:16:19.120 why would you not brand yourself that way, So it 349 00:16:19.159 --> 00:16:21.240 really is a balancing act. So I guess it depends 350 00:16:21.240 --> 00:16:23.039 on the person, right entity. 351 00:16:23.360 --> 00:16:25.480 Well, I guess for me it's partly that Like on 352 00:16:25.480 --> 00:16:27.559 one hand, I do like theory, but it's like I 353 00:16:27.840 --> 00:16:31.200 can't like for what I listen to. I can't just 354 00:16:31.240 --> 00:16:33.519 listen to straight theory all day. Sometimes I just need 355 00:16:33.559 --> 00:16:36.240 to listen. And I listen to music too, but like 356 00:16:36.279 --> 00:16:38.399 sometimes I just want to listen to people talk, and 357 00:16:38.440 --> 00:16:40.159 like it's just like while I'm working or doing other 358 00:16:40.200 --> 00:16:42.720 stuff or to like as a just a like a 359 00:16:44.120 --> 00:16:47.000 you know, timeline cleanse like from my brain, right, I 360 00:16:47.039 --> 00:16:49.120 just want to like just listen to people who have 361 00:16:49.240 --> 00:16:52.399 maybe like a similar worldview to me, talk about random 362 00:16:52.399 --> 00:16:55.320 stuff or even like I like your Morning Dump episode 363 00:16:55.360 --> 00:16:56.799 because it's just like I get to listen to you 364 00:16:56.919 --> 00:16:59.200 just kind of like give commentary on things that like 365 00:16:59.240 --> 00:17:02.320 I find mild interesting. But it's not like it doesn't 366 00:17:02.360 --> 00:17:06.160 require me to like pay such close attention to like 367 00:17:06.400 --> 00:17:09.720 specific details or theory or anything that like I don't 368 00:17:09.720 --> 00:17:13.839 have to like feel that I have to be stressed 369 00:17:13.839 --> 00:17:16.799 about like missing stuff or like it's hard to listen 370 00:17:16.839 --> 00:17:18.240 to or anything, you know what I mean. Like there's 371 00:17:18.240 --> 00:17:20.000 some things you listen to you got to. You can't 372 00:17:20.039 --> 00:17:23.119 just casually listen to it. You have to really intentively 373 00:17:23.160 --> 00:17:26.319 listen to it because it's just the topic is is 374 00:17:26.400 --> 00:17:30.000 like that, whereas long form conversations that are more casual 375 00:17:30.079 --> 00:17:33.759 like this or you know just kind of like you know, 376 00:17:33.799 --> 00:17:36.599 political commentary on just like you know current events or 377 00:17:36.920 --> 00:17:43.200 you know, conspiracy theory theory stuff. Now, you know, that's 378 00:17:43.240 --> 00:17:45.240 different than like when you're doing your actual the deep 379 00:17:45.319 --> 00:17:48.960 dives into certain things, which your morning Dump actually, by 380 00:17:48.960 --> 00:17:50.759 the way, kind of feels like it's become almost like 381 00:17:50.799 --> 00:17:53.720 your funnel. It's like it's the wide funnel by which 382 00:17:53.759 --> 00:17:55.680 things get sorted in and then you kind of find 383 00:17:55.799 --> 00:17:58.599 like a sorting mechanism for like ooh oh, I gotta 384 00:17:58.640 --> 00:18:01.920 cover this, and then you can you know, plug it 385 00:18:01.960 --> 00:18:04.599 into which is kind of like partly why like Biblical 386 00:18:04.640 --> 00:18:08.480 Anarchy is like a good podcast for like doing my 387 00:18:08.880 --> 00:18:11.880 deep dives into specific topics, but it's not a great 388 00:18:12.079 --> 00:18:15.920 funnel or sorting mechanism is I think the issue I've 389 00:18:16.039 --> 00:18:18.039 run into it, Like I love my I love the 390 00:18:18.039 --> 00:18:21.319 Biblical Anarchy podcast. I mean I love I mean, I 391 00:18:21.319 --> 00:18:25.599 have mugs, mugs and shot glasses whiskey glasses made with it. 392 00:18:25.839 --> 00:18:27.799 I'm really proud of the product I made. Like the 393 00:18:27.880 --> 00:18:32.480 Daniel three podcast was like me exploring things, learning things, 394 00:18:32.559 --> 00:18:37.160 kind of like integrating and synthesizing my ideas, and like 395 00:18:37.200 --> 00:18:38.880 once I did that and kind of like, hey, I 396 00:18:39.119 --> 00:18:42.759 now like I feel like I've put things together and 397 00:18:42.799 --> 00:18:45.839 I really want to like articulate these things. 398 00:18:47.200 --> 00:18:48.079 For people. 399 00:18:49.279 --> 00:18:51.160 That happened around the same time I ran into LCI 400 00:18:51.240 --> 00:18:53.160 and it was like a you know, perfect you know, 401 00:18:53.519 --> 00:18:58.240
