The memory is not as reliable as we like to think. On average only 50% of memories are accurate in the first year from the event. So why are people so obsessed with the old saying 'don't forget where you came from'? This week I give my hot take on why I think this is a bad idea. Thanks for listening!  The Coffee Buzz October Playlist: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/2XvNuKm1JOIWUfuKRLWU7J  Conta...

My friend Ryan introduced me to my first book about Toltec Wisdom. It's A Separate Reality: Further Conversations with Don Juan by Carlos Castaneda. I wasn't quite ready for everything this book had to say, but it planted a seed. Years later I was given 'The Four Agreements' by Don Miguel Ruiz who is also a Toltec teacher and it all started to make sense.  Book Links: Carlos Castaneda 'A Sepa...

The news is completely irrelevant. I know this is going to be an episode not everyone will agree with, but I state my case for giving up the news.    The Coffee Buzz Monthly Playlist can be found here https://open.spotify.com/playlist/06c1ktBOFPOA3GgwiNP7pz Contact the Coffee Buzz at thecoffeebuzzpodcast@gmail.com or https://www.thecoffeebuzzpodcast.com/

This week I get real about my food addiction. I may be vegan, but I haven't always been healthy. It's one of the hardest addictions out there and I talk about the science of why that is.

I thought having a kid would be the end of my life when I was younger and I was determined to be childless. I thought that in order to have a fun adventurous life you couldn't have children. Wow, was I wrong. Meeting my wife was the greatest thing that ever happened to me for many reasons not the least of which is that she saw a future I never imagined and it’s the greatest life I can think of. To...

There is a cave very close to my house. Last week I found myself with some free time and decided to take the kid to see the Inner Space Cavern. While we were there it reminded me of all the stories about underground aliens and secret military bases. It seems like the kind of place that would work perfect for such an operation. One of the most notable stories on this subject would have to be Phi Sc...

This week I look at the psychology behind why I can’t trust myself. From confirmation bias to the endless pursuit of happiness our brains are not the baseline of truth that we’ve been led to believe. Even the nature of reality is questionable due to our limited senses. While this may all seem like a set back I think embracing this skepticism about our own thoughts is a useful tool in self developm...

How do you deal with a racist neighbor? I try to figure that out and also discuss the City of Austin's approach to the homeless problem. Join me for the random caffeinated thoughts running through my head this week.  Contact the Coffee Buzz

Area 51 is the holy grail for alien conspiracy. Over 1 million people have RSVP'd to the Facebook event Storming Area 51, they can’t shoot us all’ If you haven’t heard of this it’s a joke even created by a guy that apparently makes a lot of memes...but the Military is not laughing because they know just because he thinks it’s a joke that some people are going to show up as the invite says to “see...

I'm not supposed to like Rachel Hollis, but she's getting in my head lately. I'll talk about her book "Girl Stop Apologizing". I also found a new trail this week about 20 miles outside of town. I'm so out of shape I have to train for the training of running a marathon. You can find Rachel Hollis here: https://thechicsite.com/ or her podcast 'Thrive'. You can contact the Coffee Buzz here: thecoffee...

I recently watched the documentary “Where Dreams go to Die”. It follows the story of Gary Robbins during his two attempts at completing The Barkley Marathons. This is a somewhat underground ultra marathon race that is probably one of the toughest in the world. I’m not sure I’ll ever run an ultra marathon...probably not, but I’m inspired by the men and women that do. Today’s episode is my tribute t...

A Starfleet logo has appeared on the surface of Mars. Some reports are calling it random dust storms on the planet but I’ve noticed an energy field manifesting from Earth that has caused this anomaly. That energy field is a bacon to summon one of the greatest leaders of all time: Captain Picard. We’re also going to go on a deep dive into the Prime Directive. It’s time to take the show into the fin...

Wim Hof is nothing short of a superhero. He holds 26 Guinness world records for things that were believed to be impossible. Things like running a marathon in the desert with no water, climbing Everest with only shorts and shoes on as well as swimming at great lengths under polar ice sheets, but the main reason I’m talking about him is that he can control his autoimmune responses on demand. This gu...

The facial recognition genie has been let out of the bottle. Unless we’re able to do slow it down and maybe regulate it, we are going to waking up five years from now to find that facial recognition services have spread in ways that only society issues worse. By then it’s going to be a lot harder to try to bottle it back up. Today I’m going to talk how this technology is just attack on personal fr...

The UN has a new report called Nature’s Dangerous Decline and it states that 1 million animal and plant species are now threatened with extinction, many within decades, and this is more than ever before in human history. Have no fear, today on the show I will tell you how we can save Earth! As you probably know this isn’t Earth’s first extinction. Our planet has had 5 over its lifetime. Unlike pas...

Atoms are 95-99% empty space and they along with subatomic particles make up everything. What is this empty space? Since they have no internal structure and no physical size that means that they are entirely illusory or put another way, made up of energy. They are zero-dimensional and more like events than things. Reality is stranger than we think. It’s stranger than most people can think. And the...

I’m going to get a bit personal today...it’s also mental health awareness month so why not? It’s been over 3 years since my last drink and when I quit I thought ok, this is it, I’ve slayed the dragon and all my problems are solved. At the time it seemed like all my shortcomings were due to drinking too much. I couldn’t have been more wrong. Alcohol wasn’t my problem it was my medicine for the prob...

By request I give my hot take on chemtrails. While going down this crazy rabbit hole I somehow land on the most outrageous conspiracy I've heard yet: the President is a time traveler. I know it sounds crazy but stay with me on this one. A novel from Ingersoll Lockwood in the late 1800s predicts the Trump presidency with odd accuracy. If nothing else this conspiracy is entertaining and potentially...

Carl Jung coined the term the shadow self and it goes like this: In our early adolescence we develop the ego and two entities start to emerge.  the persona and the shadow. The shadow is the part of our personality we try to suppress and hide from everyone including ourselves, but confronting it can unlock a whole new side to the personality. Today I’m going to get real about what the shadow self i...

36 episodes in and I haven’t done one about coffee. Kind of odd given the name of this podcast. For every article I latch onto about coffee being healthy I see another that states the exact opposite. I’m going to open up about my favorite vice and talk about the good, bad and the ugly sides of that wonderful drug caffeine. 

I am predicting we’re going to hear the word socialism a lot over the next few years. The right is using it like a scare tactic and the left is using it as a marketing technique. To be honest I really wasn’t sure on the technical differences between Socialism and communism until I researched this episode. I cleared the cobwebs from my brain and remembered what I learned in high school civics class...

Today I’m going to see what to make of this Smiley Face Killer theory. It’s a theory a group of retired police officers and private detectives came up with after noticing multiple young, athletic, college aged men going missing under the same strange circumstances and are later found near graffiti of a smiley face. I would love for any of my listeners out there to share their opinions on this and...

I decided to dive into the controversial subject of vaccines today. There seems to be so much noise out there on this topic and emotions around it that I thought I’d share my views. This whole things has been blown out of proportion on purpose and we’re also being played by Russian trolls. These trolls are using vaccination as a wedge issue, promoting discord and confusion. in American society. Ho...

This week I explore the #MeToo Movement in the music industry. The idea for this episode came from the recent allegations of misconduct by one of my favorite singer songwriters Ryan Adams, but he’s not the only one. Turns out some of my musical heroes are also cowardly perverts that prey on the weak. Can we separate the music from the person?
