High-Dere

This week on High-Dere, Ian & Joe clean their shits out and see where Ian’s first ever “Clean” show leads them! 

Ian is on Day 2 of the Ultimate Reset and he’s committed and loving it. We hear how Ian & Joe were dumb and went shopping for the meal plans on the day before one of the biggest cookout day’s of the year, the 4th of July. 

Then we talk about the meals being made, the physical (and intestinal) changes happening, and the cost of small items like Pine Nuts ($28/pound) and Seaweed ($13 for a 1oz bag?!?). 19 Days to go. 

Then they talk about ElfTree Podcast Network and how our shows are what we want to hear. Ian & Joe discuss topics that everyone discusses, but they also share them with the world. And that’s why Podcast Movement is going to be helpful for them. 

After some chatting about the difference between advice and perspective and a run down of some favorite board games, they close out the show so that Maddie can stop freaking out over fireworks.

This week on High-Dere, come with Ian & Joe while they celebrate some progress, draw attention to money scams and hit the ultimate reset button on life, because let’s face it…#Lovewins…or at least it should.

On June 26th, the Supreme Court of the United States voted to essentially legalize all marriage across the country. But the interesting part to Ian & Joe about the whole decision is the reasoning people give for why they’re against it. Today, Ian & Joe talk a lot about what it means to live in a world where Love should truly “Win” but people ultimately are too afraid to speak out against things that simply shouldn’t be. 

They issue a warning to everyone to use caution and not fall into traps of mentality due to popularity or how others will view you. They also talk about failing (and soon to fail) economies and how when grasping for money/power becomes anyone’s main focus, morals and love seem to be the first things to go. 

Did you know that parts of the US Prison System are traded on Nasdaq? It’s true. Doesn’t that make prisoners into “Commodities” rather than “People” who are in need of rehabilitation for their “actions”? 

Additionally, shouldn’t Ian & Joe have been able to see the exhibit on the Dead Sea Scrolls for free? They talk about how something so supposedly old and important to humanity shouldn’t be used as a tool for an association to make a buck. We should all be able to see these important things and contemplate what they mean and/or what they mean to us for FREE. 

And then to wrap things up, we hear about Ian & Joe’s upcoming journey to cleanse and reclaim their health, bodies and minds through Beachbody’s Ultimate Reset.

This week on High-Dere, Ian & Joe take flight over the proverbial hill toward planet Altair, and into a magical world full of beauty and antagonists of all kinds with author and lover of life, Elijah Schkeiban. 

After meeting in a coffee shop and randomly being introduced to Elijah’s fascinating David and Goliath tale, Ian & Joe had to have him on the show. 

They talk about Elijah's 1988 script-turned-2002-book, Bats & Butterflies, and the monstrous task he undertook when, in 2009, he began to suspect that his material had been infringed upon by 20th Century Fox and James Cameron through their production of the film Avatar. 

From his creative process and habits, to the disciplined and philosophical mind it takes to be a writer, and even touching on his royal Lebanese bloodline dating back to the 1100s, Elijah is someone who had many different experiences in his life, and it was a pleasure having him on this 40th episode of High-Dere.

This week on High-Dere, Ian & Joe are joined by Shelby (and Martyn briefly in the beginning) to hear the archived tale of Ian’s first 24 hours, and first week in California. 

Many of our listeners will know by now that when Ian moved to LA in June, 2014, he woke up on his first morning to his Uhaul and (almost everything) he owned having been stolen overnight. Poof, just gone. This is the tale of a very different Ian's first week in LA, how he initially handled this potential trauma, and the initial steps toward what would eventually become the ElfTree Podcast Network. 

We close our our Dirty Thirties with some initial thoughts on the new medical culture and some future thoughts podcast plans. On this weeks episode of High-Dere. 

*NOTE* 
The sound quality isn’t what you’re used to on High-Dere. Like we mentioned, Ian had just been robbed. Give them a break!

This week on High-Dere, Shelby joins Ian & Joe on an Interstellar journey through the world of Awake or Sleeping’s album covers. 

Joe has a few EPs being released in 2015 and Shelby is in town to do the photography and album artwork for each of the 3 titles. 

Hear about how they found the studio, gathered the costume elements, and conceptualized 3 covers that fit with the two already in existence. 

They praise Shelby’s photoshop skills, contemplate having a museum of AoS props, talk about the practicality of the spacesuit that was assembled, institute the "gold rule” and wonder who would be the most annoying housemate in the Full House house. 

Then get a clip from the first single, Pilots, off the first EP, Interstellar Hearts.
