The Grey & Gold Podcast

We have no idea that title is clearly clickbait but we're still going to talk about the afterlife today and the unlimited possibilities of what awaits us after we pass. Funnily enough this all stemmed from the Sandman comics so shout out Neil Gaiman. As always thank you for listening. Reach us at [email protected]

Yeah, Grey is a BJJ champ--well he at least trains as one so why not talk about combat fighting and the UFC for an episode along with the origins of the martial art. We may have to dedicate a full podcast to this topic alone in the future because it's pretty fascinating. We would love to start bringing on historians to share knowledge and legacy with y'all.

If y'all haven't heard of Tombstone Da Deadman before you're in for a treat, this Maryland based artist and podcaster has top tier conscious lyricism along with vivid storytelling. Today we mostly focused on the state of the world and personal histories before taking a hard turn (I'm not saying left or right cause I don't want y'all reading into it) down Politics Boulevard.

Let’s talk the protests, the riots, COVID, and the end of the world

First off this was recorded Tuesday so events have changed since recording this

We were a little sober for this episode if you couldn’t tell. We start off on a serious topic discussing the protests and riots going on around the country. For those of you curious why we haven’t touched on this topic yet it’s because up to this point many of our podcasts are recorded a week ahead of time. From there we transition into how the mass gatherings are potentially going to bring on a second wave of COVID and how you should probably smoke more weed (half kidding).

Seriously the topics of this episode change more rapidly than the Cleveland Browns coaching staff. We dive into the psychology behind storytelling and the chemicals released in your brain when certain behaviors are activated. Follow along, you’re in for a treat.

Today’s guest is renown atheist author and activist Aron Ra. Aron Grey actually have some history together from the atheist convention circuit and the discussion begins with a trip down memory lane before diving into the philosophies behind atheism, the division within the community of independent thinkers, how secularism is on the rise in the country and the resistance it’s being met with.

We cover a range of topics today, like how niche marketing and interests are only available thanks to social media but despite its reach it carries some heavy consequences. Is social media limiting our social abilities or is it just being misused? Do you treat each platform the same or have stricter requirements on instagram than twitter? And just how damaging are algorithm created echo chambers?

The conversation then takes a weird detour and eventually lands on an exploration of the mentor/apprentice relationship, the benefits of finding a mentor, the importance of learning to fail, and how attention is one of the most valuable currencies today

When we say most of these episodes are unplanned, we mean it, this episode was going to revolve around a discussion on independent art vs corporate art and out the gate we end up talking about satanism and the effects of organized religion. Grey and Gold dissect tribalism mentalities and exchange experiences they've had in carrying the baggage of certain terms.
