Jeff Talks Therapy

In this episode, Brendand and I talk about Metal as therapy. As ctharsis. How good it make us feel. how we feel deeper than most people, and how weird that is for both of us. SO weird.

And we talk about how Metal saved both of us.

I talk about Dad Metal, a fine genre of Metal from early 1990's to early 2000's. I talk about Creative Performance and what that means to both the performer and to the Performer's audience.

I hope you enjoy it as much as I loved creating it. SO MUCH FUN!

Therapy is the Shit. GO! It's totally worth it.

You may be wondering why I added this new series to Jeff Talks Therapy.

Fair.

The reason is because Metal is Therapy to me and to my cousin, Brendan, and to millions and millions of Metal fans throughout the world.

You may not get it. That's fine. This isn't for you, then.

Brendan and I have A LOT to talk about when it comes to Metal. We plan to record these conversations weekly, I edit and publish to wherever people listen to podcasts.

In this episode, I discuss a new direction of creative performance.

Last week, I flew to Las Vegas for an AI conference. While there, I stumble upon a bar called Smelly Cat where they let you do karoeke all day long.

I played my Metal gig alongside a backing band that knew the songs cold.

It was an exhilarating experience all the way through. And amazingly, I was not anxious going up on stage for the first time.

You know what it felt like?

100% emotional congruence. Like, why did you wait so long?!

In this video, Jeff brings out Johnny Las Vegas to describe Jeff's anger as a secondary emotion, what lies beneath the anger, what Jeff tries to do when the anger strikes -- and it always does. The who. The what. And the why. Johnny talks about Jeff's wife at the end and what a badass she is at calling people out, calling her shot.

Enjoy!

In this episode, I talk about the origin of my Doppelganger, Johnny Las Vegas. I talk about why I felt that I had to create him, how long Johnny's been a thing, what pisses him off, what he rages at (too-slow drivers, lots of unexpected traffic and red lights), and the things Jeff sees, but doesn't want to deal with.

And then, Johnny gets called up to take on the confrontation.

In this episode, I talk about aggression, my emotional connection to Metal, and making Shit Happen.

I hope you enjoy it. It was a lot of fun making it.
