Peace of Chaos: a podcast by Matt Neal

If you listened to the 3-hour Covid conspiracy theory JRE show w/ McCollough - take one more hour to learn about critical thinking and bias with a thoughtful breakdown from @ZDoggMD I honestly don't know who to trust anymore, but this seems as reasonable a thought process as I could imagine. No hidden agenda as far as I can see. Sure, YouTube followers, I guess...but if you are trying to share goo...

My chat with Morgan Taylor - we cover comedy nerd topics like recording your sets, how to handle hecklers and stolen jokes. Go see her perform if you're in the LA area - dates here   All her social stuff here: https://linktr.ee/MorganTaylorComedy  

We got through so many topics and didn't go deep on any of them...we were just so excited to reconnect. There will need to be a part two... Just some of the random subjects we hopped to - Moving away, crazy weather, climbing through trunks, Paying attention to the news, Colonial Interns, Being newly socially awkward, psychedelics, origin stories, family history...I think we both had too much coffe...

post-thanksgiving rants about stores and two quick movie reviews.

A full year of the podcast, what have we learned? (Sorry for the squeaky table noises)

solo ramble on first rodeos, learning to say no, staying on a regimen, and setting priorities to fit in an exciting new project.

what a week...solo ramble about this stupid pandemic and trying to find the truth.

solo thought experiment (without research) on the metaphor of the yin yang.

I met Chad when he moved into the house behind mine a few years ago. We spent a lot of time hanging out, talking books, talking life, and even rung in a very weird Pandemic New Year together. He's a dynamic personality with a huge laugh which I always enjoyed hearing when he frequented #BrewingComedy shows. He's a marketing guru and an inspiring dude with a crazy bunch of life experience and stori...

Solo ramble about my recent move, real estate in general and how much stuff we accumulate over the years.

solo ramble about hope, cds, drums, collections, and moving.

It was so great talking to legendary Seattle comedian Brad Upton ( @braduptoncomedy ). It was an inspiring chat in so many ways...and we laughed really hard at the long gone days of school corporal punishment. Brad Upton - Will Be Funny For Money , Smart Guy Stupid World , Brad UptoNoGood , and find him on Dry Bar Comedy . Bio: If the Pacific Northwest had a Mt. Rushmore of Comedy, this man’s head...

reminded of the hurricane katrina failure by a recent HBO documentary, a discussion about why would we even think the government could handle a major logistics and communication project; expecations and hangover from the hope and change we thought we experienced prior to trump, bad memory, and the passage of time in a pandemic.

Not quite a typical #comedyahoy set, but maybe the conversation in my head on the way to the show trying to decide what to talk about with those animals. Loved that show.
