Humans as Short Form Content

[00:00:03] You're listening to PBN, your path back to stability here

[00:00:32] Humans is Short Form Content, welcome in PBN family The thought crossed my mind today that we are slowly but surely becoming TikTok shorts, YouTube shorts, short form content But it is kind of funny because in a way we are short form content because we only get 100 years So it's kind of like a, yeah we are short form content, the long and short of it is

[00:01:03] But what most worries me is this sort of, I don't know, it's like a lily pad lifestyle Morning J Ferg, welcome in, thanks for joining us You know what I mean, we seem to jump from one sort of What's up Hunter? Hunter, we seem to jump from like, you know, successes to failures

[00:01:29] Shopping to purchases, purchases to sales, milestones to milestones Morning Garden Girl over at Instagram Thanks everybody for joining us on the new Instagram I can't promise you that this is going to do wonders for my Instagram lives that I do outside normally But now you get the actual podcast, so enjoy it But watching the world go as it goes

[00:01:57] It kind of puts me in this perspective lately Yeah, J Ferg says we're lucky if we get 100 years, that's the truth But it puts me in this mindset of like, I don't know We're moving at such a pace, we're ingesting so much every single day Probably in all forms, right? Not just in media content and problems with the world and problems with the life

[00:02:25] And I know I harp on this all the time, but springtime is coming I mean, the bloom has begun, or at least the greening has begun here in Richmond, Virginia And driving my own vehicle, I can't help but think about All the things that go buzzing by in a day's time And most people are concerned with, you know, the next big thing The next release, the next this, the next that

[00:02:51] And, you know, to some degree it is a little mind-numbing And it brought me to sort of the concept about today's show Humans are short-form content We did a great interview with the confused girl in the city a few weeks ago It was an interview that probably most of you looked at and went like What's going on here? She had a tremendous ability to capture this kind of thing And it was pretty awesome It was pretty awesome

[00:03:21] I don't understand Hang on, I gotta go take a puppy down real quick Do you hear the puppy yelping in the back? Let me put something cool on for you to listen to Or to watch

[00:04:06] Sounds like we'll have no choice but to introduce you guys to the new puppy Because he's making himself known Come here Not you Or you We call him Goomba His name is Goomba And Come on Come up here Hi to the people, Goomba Say hi to the people I know you're bored

[00:04:35] You don't want daddy to do a live show right now Say hi to the people, little Mr. Goomba See, we have a Bowser We have a Link We have a Zella We have a Goomba And we lost our little girl Lola I don't know A couple weeks, months ago I don't know It was 15 years of heaven with that one And now she's gone And you know

[00:05:03] We keep a pretty nice stall worth of pit bulls around It's our thing, my wife and I We may not be able to do a show today I don't actually know I guess I could put him outside with the other dogs What can we run here? He was trying to get upstairs He was seriously not happy with the

[00:05:32] They did do a good job with the Mario movie Alright, hang on a minute Hang on a minute Let's do Don't I have like a media asset for the Prepper's Medical Handbook? I didn't mean for this to be such a A heavy show on ads But, you know, necessity

[00:06:30] Things happening live Just is what it is Phones going off in the background Half the dogs went outside The other half didn't One of those mornings, man Just one of those mornings And it's kind of perfect Because what's happening in the universe right now is I had this idea of Taking life for what it is Right? Humans' life is short-form content This sort of

[00:06:58] I mean, you can see it in the way the world is built now The things that people like now My wife watches What is it? Home and garden Television HGTV all the time And It's always like the couples are One of the couples The persons in the couple One of the people in the couple That's buying a house Is always like I want the modern Sleek Minimalist You look around like At stuff Anymore

[00:07:27] And you see that there Is a lot of soul lacking therein You know what I mean? Like there's a lot of soul lacking in the things That we invest our money in And spend our time in That freaked me out The Instagram live stream Sometimes freezes for me But not for everybody else And it's a picture of my car Inside the car seat I didn't know what the hell was going on with that

[00:07:59] Jay Ferg says Let them fuss Pups are pups Yeah they are But he's loud You could hear him right? He's a little loud I don't think the listeners in the audience Want to hear that In the background I was listening to a Putin interview Before I came on I was going to put it on But I realized it was a loop It was actually a short loop Maybe like 10-15 minute loop And he was talking about It was pretty interesting I threw it in the PBN In our signal chat Between hosts

[00:08:29] But it was kind of interesting You could probably look up Putin English interview Talking about Zelensky Talking about Ukraine Talking about deals with America That kind of stuff I don't know It was kind of interesting More importantly And more focused on Kind of what it is We're talking about I don't know how to tell everybody To do this But I know that it's essential To do it And it's to slow down

[00:08:58] Throughout the day It's And it's a mental thing It's a physical thing And you kind of got to practice You know what I mean? But if we don't slow down And if everything is just A frantic run From one appointment To the next One, you know Time to the next From 9-30 to this 30 We gotta get here From this 30 to this 30 We gotta get here Then we're rushing Directly to the grave That's the rush

[00:09:28] That's where we're headed That's the actual Final destination In other words If your life is rushing From one place to another Then All you're doing Is rushing to death The only time You get to really live Is when you can Pump the brakes Slow down You pump the brakes You slow down I mean the prepping community The homesteading community Is You guys get this Probably more than most Because you tend gardens

[00:09:57] Because you swing Hammers at anvils We are gonna do A hammer talk today Hunter SF says Of the This is a thing That my wife Always remarks about But Hunter SF In the Instagram chat Says And he's talking about The HGTV couples That buy homes She's a preschool teacher And And he sharpens Pencils for a living And their budget For a home
