This podcast is my attempt to push back against what I call 'The Domestication of Our Species'. Over the years I've become increasingly convinced that we [humans] have in recent decades become 'Bred to Consume'. The podcast is called, "Off The Lead" and it's main purpose is to have and spread open and frank conversations with different people from all walks of life. Please feel free to comment [publicly or privately] with thoughts/recommendations etc to imoffthelead@gmail.com Thanks for listening, Frano. Hosted on Acast.

Ss3Ep39 Protests And The Big 5 Personality Traits 22.03.2021

Germany, UK, Finland, Romania, Austria, Switzerland, France, Portugal, Belgium, Czech Republic, Georgia, The Netherlands, Spain, Lebanon, Israel, Canada, the United States and Ireland, all have had anti lockdown protests recently. But what connects all these people? I make the case that it's only a matter of time before I join them, be it in 6 months, 1 year or maybe 5 years, but at some stage I'm...

Ss3Ep#38 Video Podcast And Carnivore Diet 19.03.2021

Ss3Ep#37 A Week In Review. 18.03.2021

It's been a busy 7 days in Off The Lead land. This episode is an attempt to do a few things. It's an attempt to make sense of what I'm doing (I'm never 100% sure which is probably my favourite thing about it) it's addressing some of the feedback I've been getting and it's a bit about purpose and ownership. As always I can be contacted via WhatsApp on 0896047888 and supported on www.patreon.com/off...

Ss3Ep#36 Off The Lead & In Front Of A Live Audience 16.03.2021

The time to start planning for when this lockdown is over is upon us. There's likely going to be restrictions to beat the band even when we do open back up but such is life. Today I give the idea of doing a live podcast some breathing space, I also find out that 'ham radio' simply means 'amateur radio'. Everyday's a schoolday!0896047888 is Off The Leads WhatsApp number so get in touch if you'd lik...

Ss3Ep#35 Fad Diets And Why I'm Going On One. 15.03.2021

Archilochus never went on a ketogenic diet but I have so fuck you y' Greek poet!"You won't eat what you plan to eat, you'll eat what's in your fridge".- FranopholousEver wonder what a river and a fat based diet have in common, you guessed it, forest fires.

Happy Mothers Day! 12.03.2021

Holy Jebus that was fun! This Sunday is Mothers Day lads so consider this an early Mothers Day gift, lucky you! I hadn't done anything weird in ages and thought it was high time I got out of my own way a little more than usual. Any booking requests can be made to Off The Leads WhatsApp 0896047888The original is by 'Lonely Island' and you'll find it on YouTube or Spotify by searching "Motherlover"....

Ss3Ep#34 ASBO's For Business 11.03.2021

What do driving licences and hoarding money have in common? You guessed it, anti social behaviour orders! Imagine a world that fairly penalised cuntish behaviour, get caught polluting a stream - ASBO. Get caught evading tax - ASBO. Have a string of people do you for unfair dismal - ASBO.Collect X ASBO's and win the right to never be allowed to trade again. Or....Go X amount of years straight witho...

Ss4Ep#37 Just Say Know To Drugs. 10.03.2021

I do love a good analogy lads and today's one is brought to you by Hamilton Morris. It's an analogy, that for me at least, perfectly encapsulates the utter ridiculousness of the war on drugs. Particularly the war on cannabis. As always if you're enjoying these episodes you can support me on www.patreon.com/offthelead and if you've anything you'd like to ask you can reach me by imoffthelead@gmail.c...

Ss4Ep#36 Sphincters 2of2 10.03.2021

Continuing on from the last episode I 'follow through' (ayoooo!) from where I left off and end up exiting the body. I then compare your eyeball to your anus and wonder why no one shines a light up your ass when you've been knocked unconscious.

Ss4 Ep#35 Sphincters 1of2 10.03.2021

I've spoken before about orbits and that has me thinking of sphincters. So here's the podcsst you've all been waiting for. I also get into the digestive system but only got as far as the small intestine. As always I can be contacted on imoffthelead@gmail.com and supported via www.patreon.com/offthelead Hosted on Acast.

Ss4Ep#34 Mr. Emoticon 4of4 08.03.2021

You know what the opposite of better is? That's right, worse. Emoticons don't make our ability to communicate better, they make it easier in the short term but these things don't exactly suggest their own disuse. It's like nicotine. Inhaling it once isn't that problematic, but (as with emoticons) our use/abuse of these things tends to increase over time. Our autonomy is being whittled away in ways...

Ss4Ep#33 Mr. Emoticon 3of4 08.03.2021

The human condition has been hacked and mined endlessly throughout our technological revolution and emoticons are yet another example of how we are being shoehorned into different modes of being, because it's easier. The tail is wagging the dog folks. And not in a good way. As always I can be contacted via imoffthelead@gmail.com and supported via www.patreon.com/offthelead Hosted on Acast. See aca...

Ss4Ep#32 Mr. Emoticon 2of4 08.03.2021

What's the harm? The harm is that we are loosing our autonomy. At the time of typing this we can't even leave our fucking houses unless it's "essential". But there's no health benefits in using 'emoticons' so why are we? Because it's easier. You know what's the easiest most convenient thing? Being dead. As always I can be contacted via imoffthelead@gmail.com and support via www.patreon.com/offthel...

Ss4Ep#31 Mr. Emoticon 1of4 08.03.2021

Which of the following would you consider the hot button issue of our time? Abortion, divorce, contraception, same sex marriage, prostitution, drugs, religion, spirituality, politics, equality, racism, capitalism, socialism, liberalism, conservatism, the mind, the soul, the afterlife? You guessed it, it's emoticons. As always I can be contacted on imoffthelead@gmail.com and supported via www.patre...

Ss4Ep#30 Making Mistakes 05.03.2021

Fuck perfection. Allow yourself the space (mental/emotional/financial/whatever) to make mistakes. This is where the growth is. This is where the development is. This is where your future is. Worry what people will say or think at your peril, it's only cunts that never do anything that spend all their time telling you and everyone else what you did wrong. Fuck these people. These people don't revie...

Ss3Ep#32 Being yourself 05.03.2021

I've asked myself, "why do I do what I do?" Or "Why am I doing things the way I do them?". And the answer is some variant of, "That's like asking why am I who I am?".It's just me folks. For good or for bad. Just me. I do this whole Off The Lead 'thing' for selfish reasons. And I'm relatively proud of that. Because I'm a firm believer in leading by example. And I'd love to continuously encourage pe...

Ss4Ep#29 Do animals have a conscience? 05.03.2021

What does wanting to eat chocolate but knowing that it's bad for you have to do with foxes? You've guessed it, mountain lions. Our soul wants the feeling it gives us, but our mind knows the consequences of over indulgence. Which begs the question, do carnivorous have minds? As always I can be contacted on imoffthelead@gmail.com and supported via www.patreon.com/offthelead Hosted on Acast. See acas...

Ss4Ep#28 Analogy 05.03.2021

In relation to orbits, I could have explained the complexities of the spacetime continuum, the direction of time, gravitational waves and matters effects on all of the above. But I didn't. I talked about cannonballs being fired until they fell all the way around the world. In this episode I try to convey the concept that analogys are intellectual shortcuts to your soul. As always, I can be contact...

Ss4Ep#27 Anxiety 05.03.2021

Today I get stuck into an old friend of mine, 'anxiety'.We're often too busy to see the, "wood for the trees" or "the big picture" etc etc and it's because we're too caught up I our own bulshit to see what's actually happening. I published over 1,000 minutes of content in February and there was me worrying about not doing enough. Don't do this to yourself. Write down the things that are making you...

Ep#35 Bernard Smyth 02.03.2021

Bernard's a personal trainer/coach {we get into the difference a little}, a businessman, an 'adventure racer' and a doting dad to name but a few. We get into what he's learned over the years, how he's dealt with Covid, what having a baby during lock-down is like, who he helps as a coach and how, and generally dive into his whole philosophy. Check out 'bernardsmyth1' on instatgram and www.ultimatec...

Ss4Ep#26 Censorship 01.03.2021

We're on the front lines lads buckle up!!!Censorship scares the shit out of me and although on one hand I think it's great, on the other hand I suppose I just don't trust whoever's doing the censoring. Thoughts/opinions etc to imoffthelead@gmail.com Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Ss3Ep#31 Perspective 01.03.2021

Astronauts floating in empty space, aeroplanes taking off by themselves and of course formula 1 cars. This episode has it all!!!**At least from my perspective it does. Ayooooo!!!!Relative links;Glider pilot flying, but not moving https://youtu.be/Asc1RhU3hn4Plane taking off by itself https://youtu.be/IPOtDPHjW-YAs always if you're enjoying this content and you'd like to support me you can do so vi...

SS3Ep#30 Language 01.03.2021

Our minds read books and our souls read situations. Are carnivorous animals more thoughtful and herbivorous animals more soulful? What does that mean for us omnivores?

Ss3Ep#29 Orbits 01.03.2021

There's just nothing worse than when you try and have a conversation with someone only for it to become apparent that they don't know how to accurately conceptualise orbits. Nothing worse. In this episode I discuss orbits and use the horizon to describe how God exists. If you're enjoying my content and want to get involved I can be contacted via imoffthelead@gmail.com and supported financially thr...
