Third Eye High Podcast

Delete Batman from history and the world doesn’t explode, it tilts. What starts as a “nerd question” from my son quickly turns into a serious thought experiment about cultural ripple effects: when you remove a fictional icon that has been retold for generations, what else disappears with it that we never learned to notice? We trace how Batman functions like infrastructure inside DC Comics. Without...

There’s something strange about cartoons. They bend reality.  Ignore logic.  Turn pain into jokes.  And somehow still manage to say more about being human than a lot of “serious” shows ever do. In this episode of Third Eye High , Shawn spirals through the weird connection between cannabis, animation, absurd humor, and uncomfortable truth. From Rick and Morty to Family Guy , Bob’s Burgers , Solar O...

Somewhere along the way, a lot of us stopped consciously living… and started running on autopilot. In this episode of Third Eye High, Shawn takes a late-night thought spiral into one of the strangest questions humans have ever asked: Do we actually choose our lives… or do our brains make decisions before we’re even aware of them? From habits and routines to relationships, survival mode, emotional...

That weird heaviness right after you check your phone isn’t just boredom. It’s the moment you realize you were hoping for proof: a message, a like, a reaction, anything that says you were seen. We start there and follow the thread into something bigger, because that tiny drop in your chest is often validation doing its job and quietly running your nervous system. We break down why validation feels...

You ever wish you could hit respawn on one small moment, not your whole life, just one sentence, one reaction, one choice? That’s the itch we’re lighting up today, because the do-over fantasy isn’t as innocent as it sounds. We don’t just replay what happened, we replay who we were when it happened, and that’s where regret turns into identity. We talk about why regret whispers instead of screams, h...

It’s never just the moment. It’s everything around it. The routine.  The setup.  The small, repeatable things we don’t even think about anymore. Because humans don’t just experience things… We ritualize them. In this episode, we shift from science and history into something more personal — the quiet patterns that shape how we experience being high. Why do we do the same things every time?  Why do...

What if getting high wasn’t about escaping…  but about finally slowing down enough to see clearly? Welcome to Third Eye High — a curiosity-driven podcast where thoughts get a little hazy and perspectives get a whole lot clearer. In this opening episode, Shawn lays the foundation for what this show is really about — and just as importantly, what it’s not. This isn’t a podcast about cannabis.  It’s...

You ever notice… how some things feel familiar  the very first time you experience them? No learning curve.  No confusion.  Just… recognition. That’s what made me start questioning cannabis differently. Because most things we put in our bodies…  our body has to figure them out. But this? This feels like something  your body already understands. And there’s a reason for that. In this episode, we sl...

Some things don’t disappear.  They just get pushed out of the story. And somehow… they always find their way back. This episode zooms out.  Way out. Out of the body…  and into history. Because cannabis didn’t just show up one day.  It’s been here—across cultures, across centuries, across civilizations that never even spoke to each other. So what does it mean…  when something keeps coming back? We...
