High-Dere

Today on High-Dere, Ian & Joe attempt to discuss the hidden elements of our world that for some reason, the overall public fails to see, at times, even when it's dangling in front of our face. 

From Congressional mis/dis-information crooks who might as well be black-bagging stacks of our cash, to the probability that we as human beings might not be the only creatures in the galaxies or even in our own solar system. We eventually wrap up the evening with the notion that everything that happens, happens for a reason. Strike that. 

We wrap up the evening with Joe's out of body experience when he had a finger stuck up his butt…by a doctor at a hospital after flipping in a car that was going 70mph. Checking for “Internal Bleeding”. Don’t worry. There wasn’t any. It’s all for a reason and the answers are all out there for us. We’re not saying we have them here, but we’re ready to journey down that road. 

Come with us on this weeks episode of High-Dere!

Today on High-Dere, Ian & Joe discuss what it must be like to grow old and watch the world pass you by while living in a nursing home. Joe talks about the documentary, Alive Inside, that brings to light the mistreatment of older generations living in US retirement systems and the benefits of music therapy to restore lucidity to a mind forgotten. 

We discuss the challenges of pulling yourself up to accomplish the impossible, such as Dr. Steven Hawking, who proved that humans have an amazing ability to inspire no matter what the obstacle. 

We wrap up the show with some interesting statistics about three major corporate chains that have made themselves present by feeding off societies addictions they help to cultivate and maintain. The ultimate question: How responsible are we to each other with that which we create? 

All this and more on this weeks episode of High-Dere.

Today on High-Dere, Ian & Joe talk about a ton of important shit. We discuss Martin Luther King and the unfortunate reality of segregation being alive and well around the world, and then we move on to the Academy Awards and how quite a few movies this year presented a very one-of-a-kind view of life and making films along with opinions of Wes Anderson's greatness and our possible predictions for Birdman taking the cake. 

We also hear how forging a friendship and partnership are ridiculously similar and how communication is a key piece in both of them. And then we finish up hearing how the BBC feels humanity might meet it’s end…either in this decade, or over a millennium from now...or quite possibly before you finish reading this... 

All this and more on this weeks episode!

Today on High-Dere, Ian and Joe explore their thoughts on perceptions and censorship as it relates to the world around us.  We discuss the infinite possibilities of truth and how important it is to be able to observationally navigate through information rather than blindly accepting things as they are presented.  

We also relate how the world is manipulated through corporate media, how it effects community and the importance of examining everything in the pursuit of knowing who we truly are as humans and the responsibility we have to each other and our planet. But then again, what the hell do we know?

Additionally, we touch on Michel Gondry’s animated film Is the Man who is Tall Happy? Noam Chomsky reminds us what it is to truly think and have original thoughts in this mind-opening conversation piece.

Shout Outs: Bad Reception - The Sociable Homeschooler - Quadcast

Additionally, we officially invite Michel Gondry , Aziz Ansari and Five for Fighting on the show!

This week on a very special High-Dere, Ian travels back to Dallas and has some time with his partner in crime, Shelby Cook, as they catch up and think back on their history with each other, with creativity and with podcasting. 

And what episode of High-Dere would be complete without a few special archived moments of Joe!
