Rusty's Escape Pod

I recently posted on my social media that I'm trying to take steps back from social media and I explain a bit of it in this podcast while also talking about de-platforming and silencing people and Trump and lizards. Once you hear the part about lizards, you'll be mad at me for piquing your interest by saying lizards, hahahahaha

A Meaningful Existence -

Hello!

This is the first in-person podcast after the past few months of being in a pandemic, so what better way to celebrate than with my two best friends?!?

In today’s episode I sit down with my long time best friend, Brent Wiggins, as well as my wife/best friend, Chantelle Préjean.

We talk discuss many topics, of which include - Covid/shutdown, fireworks, cancel culture, surveillance, police, band memories, root flares, aphids, pruning trees, tree communication, reincarnation, one second answer to one second question, blindness and deafness, decriminalization, speaking your mind, being kind, chill out.

I postponed my "ask me anything" episode to talk about what's been going on in my head recently after the murder of George Floyd.

In this episode I read a Facebook post I made about the George Floyd murder and Black Lives Matter recently as well as elaborating more on it. I also talk about police, protesting, rioting, looting, George Floyd being labeled a "career criminal" by someone, and I offer a challenge for anyone defending a specific perspective in a video I saw on Instagram. I have the audio for that in this episode for you to hear.

I've seen several links for donations and such to help the black community, protesters, victims of police brutality, etc., but I unfortunately haven't saved those links. If you have any suggestions for specific links to share, please send me a message to add in here.

BLACK LIVES MATTER

Thank you for listening and be safe out there!

In today’s solo cast I comment on everyone commenting on Covid and masks, then I briefly talk about trust while on the road and then a different look at goals. 

0:00 - 16:20 = Covid and masks

16:20 - 18:08 = Trust and driving

18:08 - 20:28 = Goals

20:28 - 22:26 = Processing words and speech

In today's short episode, I talk a bit about mindfulness and the concept of an inner tree trunk. (I'd like to further expound on this in the future, but I need to get it a little more fine-tuned since it was off-the-cuff) I also briefly talk about the evolution of a thought becoming an action with a ripple effect in time. I close with a mediocre optimus prime impression. I know, what a weird addition here, hahaha :)

I think my take away from this episode is a statement I made in the podcast - “I’m trying to push everyone, myself included, to try and exercise curiosity over stress and anger in unpleasant situations”

As always, thanks for listening and for the support!

In this episode I offer up a summary of two helpful things I’ve watched/listened to in the past couple of days regarding the covid virus. I go over a video I saw of Dr. David Price of New York, then I go over a conversation with Peter Attila and Michael Osterholm that was release on Peter’s podcast, “The Drive”.

See the below links for the videos and podcasts.

As I state at the end of this podcast, do yourself and everyone else a favor and make sure you are doing your own research and forming your opinions based on what experts and people experiencing this firsthand are saying. Don’t just depend on 10-20 minutes of “news”. Spend hours listening and reading things in full context. You’ll likely feel much more comforted and safe by knowing more.
