going solo, this will be our first entry into the solo podcast. But I really had a topic that I've been wanting to talk about wanting to do a show on it and haven't been able to kind of find a guest maybe who's willing to talk about it or, or who's maybe as excited as I am about the topic. And so I wanted to take this opportunity, just you and me just just the listeners in me to talk about an experience that I think is common to us all. I think it's something that we all experience. But we don't necessarily maybe have words for it or have a description of it. And and I think putting a description on it is going to maybe help us understand what exactly is going on with that experience that I want to talk about today is that experience when someone tells you that you can't do something, why do you immediately want to do that? Right? Like you, you may not have ever even been thinking about it. You were never wanted to do that. But the minute someone says, You can't do this, you have that sense of Oh, yeah. Well, you can't Who are you to tell me? And, and and even if it's something you haven't talked about, or haven't even thought about, you still have that kind of desire. And I kind of kind of note that desire as a pre reflective desire. And what I mean there is, you don't think about it, it just kind of happens. someone tells you, you can't do this.

You You can't drive over 55 miles an hour new lingo really, what about 56 157? What about 85? If you live in California, and so, but you just have that desire, and sometimes I think it's good for us to then take those pre reflective desires, and really examine them, like, wow, Where is that coming from? Like, I didn't even want to do that thing. But when you put a limit on me, are you telling me No, I now want to do it. And so to illustrate this kind of experience, I want to tell you a story about the Parental Advisory stickers. Now the Parental Advisory stickers occurred during a time of American civilization, when people still bought CDs and cassette tapes. So for all my listeners, maybe under the age of 30, will say CDs are these circular things, they are mostly silver, and used to put them into a CD player. And a lot of cars were equipped with CD players, cassettes, the more the little rectangle, got tape in there. You may have seen them in your grandpa's collection, maybe. Now, here's you could also think about this. This Parental Advisory sticker was also on vinyl was also on LPs, which I'm really excited that that has made a full comeback and the sound is so much better. So maybe for all my listeners under 30. It's a CD is kind of like a record just smaller, and sounds worse because it's compressed. But but they would have been on on both. And it's really interesting, kind of the story behind the Parental Advisory sticker because even now with a lot of our streaming services, we have something similar in the sense of well known songs as explicit, right explicit language or explicit content. And that was the purpose behind the Parental Advisory sticker and it all kind of started actually with a group called parents music Resource Center and this was co founded by tipper Gore. And so in some ways, they became known as the tipper stickers, but tipper Gore. So she's the wife of Al Gore, if you have some political American history, and she was a little bit concerned about albums that her daughter had. So in the early 80s, this group got together the pmrc with tipper gore and others, and they put together a list of songs that had explicit content explicit language and they took that to the Recording Industry Association of America that are are ay ay ay ay ay. and said, Hey, we we really feel like we need to have stickers on these to let parents know the type of languag
