Wormhole Manifest

Welcome to the Wormhole Manifest Podcast: A show about many things with a focus on Mental Health.

This week we welcome back our friend Stephen from DreamHerbally and more recently Moonstack a new music project by Stephen and his Wife.

We are going to be discussing dreamwork while also delving into one of my more recent unsettling dreams to try to divulge what exactly was going on or where my energy may be being blocked.

It'll be another of the little bit different sort of episodes as it's not in interview style but more like a closed therapy event slash discussion. Normally when someone is having a dreamwork session being done with them, it is not an open public event. But more like a therapy session one on one where deep emotions and issues can be talked about openly.

Well in my attempt at being open and honest about my recovery and healing journey, I thought this would be a good time for one of these sessions to be open to the public. So I invited Stephen to help me with this and he was really open to the idea and appreciative of my willingness to show my vulnerability in an open format such as. Which is really awesome!

So please listen and let me know what you think.

Welcome to the Wormhole Manifest Podcast: A show about many things with a focus on Mental Health.

This week we welcome back our friend Frankie to discuss content creation and the challenges it can bring.

I attempt to break back into a better interview style approach once again to find out more about Frankie with the occasional sidetrack rambling. We discuss content creation, AI, substance use, drinking, elephants in the room, and a bit about the last episode I did where I got drunk.

I ask here to share info about her 3 year anniversary for making content over on YouTube and what motivates her, lessons learned, and overall why she does it. Did I mention Mental Health? No? We she does and that aligns perfect with the theme of this show.

So please listen and enjoy!

This episode I welcome back once again my friend Mario the Artisan Rogue to talk about Toxic Masculinity!

And oh boy, what a doozy. I actually got highly intoxicated during this episode and was hesitant to even release it. But in an effort to show my sincere honesty and integrity I pushed ahead and finally after about 4 months decided to release it into the wild.

I'd like to apologize for my side of this conversation as you'll notice almost immediatly how hammered I am. The recording started off as a mere attempt to just want to reach out and connect with a friend and then ended with a world of information from our friend Mario.

When listening, as I describe in the newly added intro (and outro), please ignore my part and pay close attention to the stories Mario shares. They are amazing as always.

The topic is Toxic Masculinity during the majority of the first part and some of the 2nd half along with some other drunk ramblings by me. If it wasn't for my friend Mario I wouldn't have even released this, so please pay close attention to his stories and if you can, ignore my dumbass who can't even pronounce the term Toxic Masculinity at some point due to my slurred speech... my god it's terrible and I'm sorry but thank you for bearing with me.

Thank you for listening and if you make it through the whole thing, thank you. Your support and patience is much appreciated. I will try not to let this happen again.

Please enjoy!

This episode I invited an old friend from the sci-fi convention days onto the show to discuss Furries, Food, Mental Health, and the different underground caverns and hauntings (and some history) around the greater St. Louis MO (my original hometown) area.

I start off the show with a special intro to go over some reminders in mindfulness and then begin the wonderful discussion with Chris where we discuss convention life, recipes and spices, and a load of other really cool stuff including some background about where Chris comes from and how he got into the Furry Lifestyle. Oh and we also talk about how he's built up a following on Twitter and hosts some really fun virtual horror movie nights that helped get them through the pandemic. It was a really good time reconnecting with an old friend that I hadn't spoken to in a really long time!

Please enjoy!

This episode is a real whopper! I finally was able to get my friend Lisa back to have this really entertaining and deep discussion about all of the following.

Molecular Biology, Vaccines, the Knowledge Fight Podcast, Scientology, Culture of the Midwest, Bigotry, Racism, Sexist, Micro Aggressions, Ancient Aliens, Anime, podcast episode ordering, Hoarding, and Lisa’s sneaker and shoe addiction/collection (LOL).

Then we finish off by getting into a bit about psychedelics and mental health and pharmacology in which Lisa talks a bit about the effects of different drugs on the body and mind and perception before we got so rudely interrupted by my ISP's untimely scheduled maintenance which caused me to lose my internet connection entirely. But that's ok, I was able to polish up what we had and add some more notes and a few outtakes / B-Roll at the end.

This was a great and fun episode and I can't wait to have Lisa back because she's a wonderful guest and person!

Please enjoy!

This episode I welcome back Mario the Artisan Rogue to talk about his new self published comic book Ardor!

But we first we do a bit of catching up and battling technical difficulties with the recording software. We cover many topics such as Art Shows and Conventions, Magic the Gathering, Aviation, some our dad's war stories, a bit of my military history, mental health stigma, working at the museum story, the homeless, Woman Roll-Models. Then we get into talking about the comic Ardor and some of his inspirations and techniques, then we touch on my story about comic books and Neil Gaimans Sandman. And of course everything has a good bit of Mental Health chat while I go on a lot of tangents. We also discuss goals with the comics he’s writing and other projects and finish off with a good bit of talk about AI Art, Music, Morality, Stealing, Metalica, Napster, and bootlegging music on X-rays!

We get tired eventually but never fail to keep the conversation interesting, intriguing, and obviously going on and on. LOL

Please enjoy!

This episode I was able to snag yet another really cool and interesting guest. Someone who resides and works in Japan and owns and operates the world famous online company J-LIST. It is my great honor to introduce you all to Peter Payne or Your Friend in Japan! 

This was a real delight of a discussion to finally get the chance to talk to Peter, and we get into many things from his start of his great journey to leave the U.S. right after University and to set up a home and life and then a few distribution companies in his new home, Japan.

There are a lot of other interviews out there with Peter that talk about anime, so I wanted to dive in a little deeper to find out just who Peter is. And how his travels and adventures over the last several decades have influenced or affected him. But of course as much as I tried to stray shy of the anime topic to discuss Japan and the cultural differences etc., anime did pop up a good bit. It's almost impossible to not talk about it since we both have such a huge love of the artform and well, he does own a business that distributes related products around the world. So it's a given it would come up, and I'm really glad that it did. Such a great discussion!  

Some of the things discussed during this episode are Bathhouses, The Yakuza, Gun Laws, The Size of the Country, Language Differences in Different Parts or Regions, Peters Blog, Climate, Cars and Driving, and much much more! 

We also do bring up Mental Health (this podcasts main theme) and how anime has helped form connections around the world. How it has been something that can and has brought people together. The fandom is awesome!   

I highly recommend that you check out his blog and other sites to see the vast amount of items you can order straight from Japan. They are really great sites and great companies and have been in business since before Google!

Please enjoy!

This episode I welcome another new guest to the Manifest, Matt aka Cats Will Eat You.

In this episode we discuss everything from his 15 year daily art streak, his different mediums, his metaverse art gallery project, a 6 min animation project with music and a shout out to Thomas Lang the Composer, some art streak difficulties, and some others art streaks. We discuss, photoshop and image manipulations, Jonathan Days song a day, streaming, and then jump into the world of Cryptocurrencies a bit along with attempting to explain NFT’s, the markets and verifications, and artists work being minted by 3rd parties and backup services. We get detoured a little but mostly stay on topic while throwing in a bit about music, websites, and some other fun stuff. It was a fantastic discussion and I'm really glad that Matt and I finally got a chance to chat while venturing through the wormhole. I ask you all to definitely check out his works because you will be amazed!

This episode welcomes back once again our good friend J Jones from the Frown Town podcast.

J and I play catch up for a bit and talk about his new comedy show in Seattle (so if you’re out that way stop in and check it out. I’ll put links below) and his podcast and a recent topic about the PACT act and the veterans affected by it. We start off with talking about some movies and parenting before I ramble some old war stories and get into our main topic about Violence. We go around a bit and share some stories and perspectives about violence in history and some theories about some other aspects and some what-ifs.

All in all it was a great conversation so please enjoy and let us know what you think.
