    I Would Drive Five Hundred Thousand Miles

    To kick myself up and find some steam for The Not-a-Podcast Show, I thought Quincy Johnson would be a good guest. He lives to demonstrate that it’s possible for anyone to take their life and make the very most of it.

    Neither of us planned for a certain docking situation to go sideways and throw off the first stream. That was Tuesday this week. But we jumped in anyway and started getting into it. A couple of Twitter mutuals jumped into the chat as well.

    We came back Thursday and I just let it run. This time he was in a quiet location, his day off, and we could get relax.

    Most days, with Twitter being his social media of choice, you will find updates from the road, daily exercise routines from the truck or the gym, cigars, steaks, as well as more mundane things from a man who drives constantly and whose community is online.

    He’s pushed an income that is on the high end for employee truck drivers. He drives well more than 100,000 miles to earn $100,000 per year. Considering he is living affordably, if drives 500,000 miles, then he might have earned and invested enough to semi-retire.

    We casually discuss these things as well as other topics like the Hotep Nation, dating women, Detroit, Killdozer, the awkward relationship with patriotism, and stuff.

  • LoveStreaming with Larry Yes

    LoveStreaming with Larry Yes

    Larry Yes has been finding a new audience, a new art form, by tripling down on LOVE. Long time songwriter beloved by many, he finds himself painting rainbows and words of encouragement, especially the words love and peace.

    My own heart has been breaking through those layers of bitterness that keep us from seeing life as it is, from enjoying it to its fullest, from our heart’s desire.

    There was one day that I had when the ego dissolved and I knew I needed to have Larry Yes on to talk about it.

    We discuss this love vibe, its impact on daily life, drug use, his Sun Ra moment, and more.

    Our conversation was enjoyable, although in retrospect I would say his live painting demonstration put a little more pressure on me to fill in the conversation.

    Once again, the internet was rough, but the audio held together. These are still kind of in test mode for me, and what I’m going to have to commit to is ensuring that my guests are prepared.

    Finding God in Anarchy with Chad

    Chad breaks the spell of bad internet with an ethernet cable. The saga of my livestream has light at the end of the tunnel.

    I enjoyed my talk with Chad, the man from Men of Order, the great white Hotep, co-host to Aquarian Anarchy Podcast, and former Adam Kokesh operative. He is passionate and committed, but he discusses his weakness and near-resignation to mediocrity.

    Our conversation gets a little bumpy in the middle, and this is a Livestream, so if things go south you risk cutting your losses. No edits. Sometimes he glossed over some perspectives that I don’t totally jibe with.

    I remain very much aligned with the spirit of lefty politics. I continue to hang out in this community while making new friends in conservative circles. Whoever I talk to, I want to find the common ground that we share.

    That is what I do with Chad.
