I Just Can't Stop Talking!

This episode is a long talk with one of my best friends, T!

Sweet T, Tahshon, the man himself: T

Obviously, with my guy here, it was the best episode yet. 

If you like hearing two friends chat it up, then this is the episode for you! 

Love you all so much, and I can't wait to talk to you some more. 

This episode is all about storytelling! Obviously I only scratched the surface, so storytelling will come up nonstop moving forward. 

We did our usual IJCST stuff, gratitude, pride, current events, but we tried to do them all in story form this time!

I uncovered the long lost origin story of storytelling, and shared it with you all! 

We talked about some more modern examples as well, how it's all interpreted in our brains, and did some general fanboy behavior over storytelling in general. 

Peace, Harmony, Laughter, and Love, to you and yours!

PS: It has been called to my attention that in a previous episode I accidentally called Dead Eye Dick by Kurt Vonnegut non-fiction. That was a slip of the tongue, it is ABSOLUTELY FICTION. Good episode to set the record straight on my inability to accurately make basic statements about one of the best stories I've read, by one of the best storytellers I've found... 

Woooo!!! Jordan Jeanette Eilerman joins us to not stop talking about a whole bunch of stuff!

In no particular order, we talked about our holiday stuff, her career transitions, Battleship, NYE, Mancel the dog, Mandalorian the show, Jordan the piano player, and lots of other stuff!!! 

Best episode yet, nothing else to say about it. 

As always, send any comments, feedback, thoughts, replies, anything at all, to [email protected], or find I Just Can't Stop Talking on facebook! I'll work on an Instagram soon I guess...

Enjoy it!

Peace, Harmony, Laughter and Love to you and yours!

Just a bunch of stuff I wanted to talk about! 

We had some affirmations, we talked about end-of-year perspectives, and we had some talk about holiday stuff and gifts!

I also ranted about something that happened this morning... And I feel all better!

Oh, and be sure to look into India's General Strike! The largest strike in world history has taken place in India recently, and American media hasn't been covering it, so just make sure you're checking that out and reflecting on how it applies to our societal/cultural situation here. 

Tell me about your holidays, gifts, end-of-year perspectives, rants, and world happenings!

This was just a good ole fashioned podcast episode right here.

We talked about a bunch of stuff! I'm writing this description over a week after recording, so when you listen please tell me if I forgot to mention anything in here!

Talked about some local artist friends of mine dropping new music!

Talked about the book I'm reading, and I will surely be talking about it more in the future, but if you wanna check it out yourself after hearing me talk about it, the book is Dead Eye Dick, by Kurt Vonnegut. 

Mentioned more about my favorite elected official Cori Bush.

And got DEEP into a comparison I used while talking to my mother recently, about capitalism/old culture vs progress/new culture. 

Please reach out to me with any thoughts you've got on anything we talk about, or anything you wanna talk about moving forward!

Hey everyone! Finished the CJ journey stuff in this episode. I talk ride-alongs, what the education meant and what I think about it, and my transition out of the pursuit of law enforcement. (and transitioned into the pursuit of happiness ahahahahaha)  

Before all that, we had an intro that was very full and uplifting! (other than the end of it)

Anyway, I fact-checked the 6MWE thing I mentioned in the intro, and I was right, it's fucked, and we need zero-tolerance for shit like that. (no, seriously, absolutely do not let anything like that ever go un-checked. get em.)

The ride-along part is longer than I expected because I really let myself have some fun while recording it! (hope you don't mind)

So much love, to you and all of yours!

Hey everyone! In this episode I began to tell the story of my Criminal Justice journey!

First we brought up some shitty things happening in Missouri, and Jordan joined me briefly to talk more about the show We Are The Champions!

As for the CJ journey, this episode only gets into the relevant backstory, the transition into a focus on Law Enforcement, and parts of my time spent studying Criminal Justice. 

My thoughts on the education itself, and how it informs my activism now, will all come in Part 2 of this journey, next week! 

Also, I am well aware that I preamble too much, basically  nonstop sometimes. Working on it, and you'll hear the results for yourself, so stay tuned!

Shitty Stuff from Missouri Follow-up:

Kelvin Adams is the superintendent who is leading the closure of 11 St. Louis County schools. There is little which can be done about it now, as the decision will be made the day this episode is released. So should those school close, start with his office to share your complaints and disagreement. It isn't our fault we didn't know sooner, because even though Adams maintains this plan is the product of years of thoughtful deliberation, the plan was shared only last week, a week ahead of the final decision being made. WHATAGUY, AMIRIGHT.

Rep Adam Schnelting from St. Charles is responsible for the proposed bill which would shield anyone who hits a person with their car during a riot, or "unlawful demonstration".

Senator-elect Rick Brattin is responsible for the proposed bill which would shield anyone who hits a person with their car during a protest. 

When calling MO reps and senators about those bills, start with their offices, move to your own reps and senators, and then see how many of our state reps and senators you can get a hold of before your lunch break is over! Just kidding, but not really. 

Email me if I forgot anything! Or if you have feedback on the show! Or if you just wanna talk.

Whew, talked about a whole bunch of stuff, didn't know if I could stop.

Did some honest accounting for my mental health, and had some depressed and angry rants about hating everything... Which is pretty neat I guess!

Did some pod-ception, and talked about another pod, on my pod.  

Talked politics, because nobody is doing that these days, and I really wanna just be unique, ya know? 

Check back here after you listen!

Episode odds and ends:

The name of my favorite mindfulness podcast, which I couldn't remember, is called Daily Breath with Deepak Chopra!

And my final answer for the historical event I'd go back in time and see how it went down, is the writing of the Bible.

Well the first steps of this podcast are now sealed in fate, and the nature of those steps were ALL OVER THE DAMN PLACE.

There were some technical bumps towards the end, and spontaneous discovery interruptions throughout, but we fuckin did it!

You're a part of this now, so let's get into it!

Thanks again, love you very much, and have a great day.
