Selling Out

For some reason this week our hosts seem to have a lot to say about hallucinogenic drugs. They’ve been no strangers to the subject of past drug use, ever since the show began, but on this episode, LSD in particular found its way into basically every talking point. We begin with a strange occurrence where Dave has been questioning whether his life lately has been one long hallucination, similar to the 1990 film, Jacob’s Ladder. Then there’s some talk about old urban legends regarding Acid and other drugs, that young people would spread in the old days. There’s a small break in the drug talk, long enough to mention the new line of Vans sneakers, inspired by David Bowie, but then it’s back to trip-talk. We learn about Nate’s first acid trip, which turned out to be nothing like he had planned. Then Dave tells us about some party-foul memories. Nate’s Notes ends things with a look at obsessed fans, specifically those that end up wanting to hurt their idols. Way to end it on a happy note, guys!2:32-questioning r

This week we find our esteemed hosts on the mend, Nate with the remnants of a sore throat and Dave with some pretty serious issues resulting from his recent surgery. They take a look at the current anti-science trend, specifically the rash of Flat-Earth conspiracy theorists that seem to be spreading at an alarming pace. After that, we learn about Nate's new guilty pleasure. '60 Days In' is a reality show based in jail, which seems like the last thing an ex-con would want to watch, but for some reason he can't get enough. And finally, Nate's Notes is all about the many faces of punk. From its roots in the 70's to the way it has inspired other musical genres, from grunge to black metal. What better way to wrap things up than with a toast to that punk rock spirit of rebellion and bare-bones musicianship...2:57- Post-surgery woes6:45- A not-so well-rounded conspiracy theory25:00- A look at "60 Days In"38:00- Nate's Notes (the many faces of punk)VISIT OUR PARTNERS -Hemp Bombs for a variety of CBD products use cod

The Selling Out Show is celebrating it's 21st episode! Does that mean the show can legally drink now? Speaking of which, on this episode we will hear about Nate's early experiences mixing alcohol and amateur sorcery, followed by some of the guys' thoughts on surgery and anesthesia. Dave is getting ready to do his least favorite activity, moving, and despite many such moves throughout his life, we learn that he's always held on tightly to his New England roots, and his accent. Meanwhile, Nate has a few thoughts on self-checkout lines. As the episode winds down, we discuss the concept of how sometimes a single choice can alter one's whole life, and we hear a few examples. Nate's Notes looks back at the Early days of MTV, when those initials still meant something!

We're moving further into the cold wasteland of winter but the Selling Out crew is just warming up! We learn about a detox with slick advertising and answer a listener question about bucket lists. This is followed by a discussion about weird personal rituals and a look at HBO's the Leftovers. Was this show worthy of a watch and what is Damon Lindelof's achilles heel? We then hear a couple bizarre stories in which we learn that drugs can either create problems, or solve them, depending on the circumstances.

There's just too much to talk about these days, so we're moving away from a single topic episode this time around and touching upon multiple subjects in a way that suits our society's shorter attention span...including our own! On the docket are dreams and their effects on our waking lives, a ridiculous new singing competition show of sorts that now pollutes our airwaves, ambivalence about the death of a pet, the importance of photographs, plus an old story of getting a bit too personal with a registered sex offender. Nate's Notes rounds out the episode with a tribute to some artists who found inspiration in their own impending death.

If you could go back in time to any year in history, where would you go? What would you do? Would it be a mission to alter history, to prevent some international conflict?

Our hosts give their own answers and then read some listeners’ thoughts on the subject in the Selling Out Sound Off.
