This is a different episode than most. In that, Eddie and Darren just started recording a conversation to see where it went. Most of the time, they want to dig deep into a topic. The topic of video games to careers just came out of talking, not a set out thing to discuss. Sometimes they are really interested in discussing a particular topic and want to be the stimulus in others' thoughts on the topic. No particular subject was brewing in their minds, so they just recorded a conversation to see how it goes. What feedback would give them on episodes, conversations, or topics? Reach out at

Hypnosis is a state of consciouness that is a result from the power of suggestion.

People don't necessarily go under hypnosis daily, but the power of suggestion creates a mind set for a given situation. Leading someone in their mind by creating expectations both good and bad expectations, often aid in accepting pain in a procedure or prepares you for a good lunch. Hypnosis is not some kind of magical power, but it something that approximately 20% of people are not likely to experience. Listen to Eddie and Darren try to nail down this idea.

Purists probably have a good and bad name in any arena they exist. A self defined or group defined way of doing things, then equated it to the proper way to do such. There can be varying opinions of purists and the ideas associated with them. In one regard, sometimes they provide a style or way of doing things that preserve the origin of said subject. On the other hand, this "original" idea provides a platform to be overly critical to any advancement or variant to the "original" format. Whether it is ways to make or produce something, or a style of hobby, purists and their opinions exist in many arenas. Take a listen and see which way Eddie and Darren fall in the discussion.

Introvert or extrovert, which are you? Maybe you have never thought about this much. Perhaps you have looked into this with much interest. Either way, this discussion may tell you something about this element of our personality types. Learning what you and others around you score, will explain how you and they get along or not. You may take a number of tests and disagree with the results. If so, asked your spouse/partner/closest person to you what they think. It may be that you don't understand yourself, just yet. By no means is the end all be all of how to break a person down. However, it is a tool to guide you in this process. Take a listen, this is actually a subject that blows Eddie's mind.

Stubbornness is defined as dogged determination not to change one's attitude or position on something. This trait is looked at negatively by some, and could limit one's experiences in life. There is more to this than just opposition. Listen to Darren (self professed stubborn person) explain to Eddie that asking a stubborn person to change their mind is more than just being open. The discussion takes many trails in discussion, as is the usual case. Holding firm to one's position can be personal for these stubborn people. Asking them to change their mind, is a little more complicated than just consider a different view on a given topic. So, take a listen to this discussion and form your own opinion of stubbornness.

Sleep inertia is defined as the groggy feeling when you wake up. Tune in to Eddie and Darren's discussion about sleep and what sleep inertia is. The stage of sleep you wake in can affect your sleep inertia. Sleep inertia is about 30 minutes on average for most people. Conduct your own sleep study using your smart phone. Track your sleep with your phone or smart watch. Take an honest look at your sleep hygeine. If you are getting the correct number of hours and sleep cycles, waking a good bit earlier, is better than the extra time sleeping. Hopefully you guys can sleep better, not later.

Heroes are the people or characters we emulate for their actions and values. As a young person, we might look up to parents, grand parents, or friends of the family. Additionally, we may identify with fictional characters from movies, books, tv, or comics. One could even say that an ideal hero is what we might want ourselves to be. Another hero scenario, could be someone we want to save us from ourselves, others, or a situation we are in. Who are heroes in your life? There are many people over the course of history that we could call heroes. Not to be left out, there heroes around all of us. People that go above and beyond to make a change in a better way.

Odds are we are people that somebody looks up to for something. How do think people look at you? Not your physical being, but your attitude and behavior. Try to be the individual, that on your funeral day, many people will say "we were best friends". Take a listen and see why Eddie thinks of the Looney Tunes characters need therapy.

Pollyanna is the tendency for people to remember or look at pleasant things more accurately than unpleasant things. Another way to put this is to say looking at things with a positivity bias. At first glance, this may seem to be a good thing, to a degree it is. The downside to this outlook is not accouting for negative things in life accurately. That can lead to a living on a cloud that does not exist. From ignoring something that needs your attention, to just letting bad stuff happen that could have been affected by oneself. Take a listen and see how Eddie and Darren view life and what you may learn from their conversation. As usual, their are tangents that fall off topic. See what Eddie means by "off pudding".

There is a sublte, slight audio pop/click it is fixed at 33 minute mark, apologies Time is a big topic. It is the one currency that we all have the same. Now, we don't all live to be the same age at death. However, in a day to day sense, we all have those 24 hours. How we spend that currency is another facet of our personalities. Like a lot of things, we can change and modify our time consumption. Darren is definitely not type A, but has to have a feeling of accomplishment daily. Eddie is organized, but doesn't have to accomplish something daily. How do you answer this, do you have to accomplish something everyday? Do you structure all of your time? When you are experiencing different emotions, the passage of time can be feel faster or slower.

An inner voice is an element of the unique nature of what makes us all different. For whatever reason, some have this and some do not. Eddie and Darren don't have the answer as to why some have it, but this is a discussion about it. One key function to inner voice, is the idea of drafting a question or statement. Narration or private conversation, is another way this inner voice is used. Often, it is just saying what is happening or about to happen in the head of the individual. Some people that do not have an innervoice think with imagery rather than a dialog. Talking to themselves in their head, is possible but very difficult and not second nature. As often the course, the rabbit trail turns into things that bother Eddie or Darren.

Processes. How do you keep up all of the things you need to do and maintain in your life? The system we use conscious or not, has elements of efficiency or not. As we age and see elements of our life systems, we edit or add on to proceed. When you notice 'there is this thing I always do manually, but it has automaticity', why not add the auto feature? Eddie and Darren talk about everyday life and travel and how systems and processes have worked and not. Schedules feel like work for some. Even managing your free time is a system. If you feel like your time is not managed well often, why not look at how you do it and make a change. Darren has a sense of accomplisment that makes or breaks his days, whether work or free time. Eddie definitely has systems, but may not want a schedule for his leisure time. In an elevated view of life, time is the currency we all have. No one knows how much of that we will given. One thing that is similar among people with a long life, they often comment in the end of their lives about how they spent their time.

Have you ever thought about how many humans enable you to live your current life? Tribes have given the human race the ability to increase exponentially. Not only in number, but technology and all areas of advancement. Just think, without all of the people that protect and take care of us. From military to fire to police, all the way to the people that haul our trash away. We all need each other. Early human experience required tribes to survive the environment of the time. Now in a more civilized and populated world, we still have the need to belong to a tribe. Tribes back our ideals, beliefs, and standards. Tribalism is not all good though. Just as there are benfits to the protection in community, groups of common thinking people can push for negative or evil ideas. Everyone has their own set of tribes. Within the sets of tribes, we align for common goal or interest. Hopefully, it is for the good of all.

Just as all of our tastes vary from one subject to another, where and how we find satisfactioin does as well. What does our own version of satisfaction say about us?

Subscribe and listen to Eddie and Darren as they parse out what is satisfaction to each of them. One thing is for sure, each of us play a role in our own satisfactory experience of life. -
How do we overcome being late? Is there a specific reason that I am late? Are you always on time, and CAN'T understand why anyone is late? Eddie and Darren go round and round about why people are late. Is there an excuse that is plausible for being late? Is something as simple as not accurately understanding time responsible for this?
