A guitar pick is like a condom. You might be able to perform better but it creates a slight barrier, subtly separating you from intimacy.

Will someone please tell me the name of the musical group that Joshua said he really enjoyed seeing live? He said they sing in some made-up language called Hopelandic, I believe.

Sounds intriguing; I was driving at the time though and couldn't look up the group.

Thank you!

Great talk. I follow the same line of thoughts in many aspects of my life. I love your podcast Chris. You (your) podcast have been a great inspiration (even to name my own podcast/newsletter (Vertientes y Tangentes), a Bilingual space whe I explore the dark side if fitness and wellness, along other topics (food, history, philosophy...). You've always been one of my greatest inspiration for me to write a book (reviewing first draft).

As a movement, fitness and wellness educator and trainer I constantly tell students, clients, family, and friends (and write and poscast) about eliminating the exces of exercises and diet tricks. Been writing a book about it. 20 years man! Observing (and doing it) excessive exercising, dieting, supplementing, sweating, and bullshit. How many more types of pushups and lifts do you really need? And, what's with the "ten bes sexercises for 2023"?

Been exploring these ideas for years. I self proclaime a 'Movement Observer'. And it's been fascinating, enriching, and scary... But educational and inspiring. In the serch for my voice in all this I got to listen to you in JRs podcast, and haven't stopped.

Gracias por todo!

Thankyou for everything you've done to change our views on the world you absolute legends. Ironically the episode my intro goes on happens to be with 2 of the most influential people in my life who I have been following for years on my own path of self improvement and seeking answers. We can't do anything without a bit of faith that things are okay and good people will continue to outshine the rest of the world if we pay them the attention they deserve 👍 Love you all, thanks for doing what you're doing and creating this awesome space for people 🤠✌ We have abundance, not desperation 😄

I first heard you, Chris, on the Minimalists' podcast. I stopped listening to them so much because I think I got the point, but I am grateful that they led me here.

I have been telling my family that when I die I want them to have a big party, get drunk or stoned and tell tall tales about the good and the bad of me. The authentic Lance wild man from the hearth of the earth, a sometimes know it all who wanted to know it all and was learning to live with it all.
