EP11 Toronto Redux

[@foxysideburns5741]

Dan is like that one girl out of your league that will randomly hit you up every 3 months and never talk after that. It’s like yeah it was fun 2 hours but you just leave me wanting more.

[@utuber178]

Just seeing a notification from her gets you super excited and you don't need to even see the content of the message as you know you are about to have a good time . Then when she ghosts you after those couple of hours, you keep rereading your chat history to feel that high again.

[@beurksman]

Dude

[@LeeGee]

Aw

[@ThisIsGoogle]

More like once a year.

[@j.d.5626]

oh yeah, that girl....

[@captivatethem]

I love Dan Carlin because "Long story short" = 2 hours

[@Netotrefirefem]

I was about to go to sleep, but I guess I’m not after all.

[@halkite]

Very much enjoyed the conversation as always. Also thought you might like to know that I leave your podcasts on for my dog when I have to go out. She finds your voice soothing, comforting and it helps her sleep. As a consequence she has also become an expert on the ancient world!

[@finished6267]

If god decrees, may I love again, as your dog.

[@markshortall3384]

[@filipjorbrand6125]

Eli Case yes I have to agree with you, it feels good to see some content finally!

[@ullupdrost4740]

Dan is the best, BUT is DROPPING THE BALL majorly How can he afford procrastination to this level?? hes miring in obscurity & he's being overtaken by a bunch of shit KZbinrs picking up the history mantle, WAKE UP get your head in the game Dan. Right now youre miring in obscurity and youre so fucking good

... There are three things that will keep me awake at night. Insomnia, a woman, and if Dan Carlin uploads anything.

Becomes a problem when all three happen at once.

It's awesome to know that these two guys have such a great chemistry between each other. I remember almost 20 years ago (or wait, it was 20 years ago) hearing Jeff Marek on Live Audio Wrestling on AM radio. It's amazing to see how far he's progressed in his career into mainly a hockey type of guy in the local Toronto media. And i still remember back on live audio wrestling shows on the radio where he would literally spend the majority of the show talking about hockey goons fighting. That was the spark right then and right there with the guy on am640 in Toronto. At that time that station had the rights to radio broadcast the Toronto Maple Leafs games. Guy has gone a long way from those old pro wrestling radio shows and he's really one of the best guys on Sportsnet when it comes to hockey. He's one of the few guys at sportsnet that's worth listening to. Shame that they keep him on the TV broadcasts for Leafs games during the mid week because he's soooo much better than whatever the fuck sportsnet has been trying to do ever since they dropped a billion or so on the TV rights to hockey night in canada a few years ago. This interview was great.

[@iknown0thing]

Opened up KZbin and what do I see... can't think of a better way to end my Sunday. This year has been good in terms of Dan content. A few interviews, shows, and revisiting old episodes. Thanks Dan

[@crazypiikkis]

I have a special place in my heart for less than 10 people that I don't personally know and many of them seem to be Carlins.

[@jdevil8877]

That notification was a long time coming.

[@WhiteNucklin]

From the doors to the stones to Nirvana to boxing.... Great interview so far

[@bensutherland9300]

As a Canadian hockey and history fan I have both of you and really enjoyed what you are putting ou5

[@roberteaster6655]

At around 18:50 Jeff Marek meantions, "Here Be Dragons" and it seems to me, for this day and age, "Here be Windmills" is more accurate. (And I love the kittens chasing a laser pointer spot analogy.)

[@jacobcitron4176]

I had the privilege of being at the original event "The End is Always Near" book tour last October! My good friend couldn't make it as he was out of town. I had the generous idea of getting my friend a signed copy as a surprise. A few weeks later - I delivered it and to my chagrin his parents had also been at the event and had the exact same gift idea. Dan - apologies for the small % I contributed to what I hope is a recovered case of Carpal Tunnel. Addendum: If there are any "Brain"s out there that want a signed copy of the book dedicated to them! Well - hit me up.

[@Frznwhrlpll]

this was a breath of clarity I needed thank you Dan

[@menwithven8114]

Holy shit Dan I'm loving the pace you're dropping these!!!

[@ViktorAKaltenstein]

I Love your content, Dan. Keep it up and never quit.

[@tntnyny]

Oh Yes Yes Yes!! May the 4th be with You all!!!

[@StudiousRaisin]

DC podcast drops ~ best Star Wars Day ever

[@TheQuallsing]

A discussion about reason and logic in a time without reason and logic. How refreshing!

[@r.m.9643]

Thank you!

[@onetwothree4148]

So much for keeping the boat intact.

[@colerileystudios]

Always great to hear more from Dan

[@paulw2074]

Words can not express what this means to me thanks dan!!!

[@ZhouXiao717]

Best pastime during quarantine is Dan's podcasts

[@reconstructionmanifest7349]

Very happy to see you back Dan. I felt compelled as someone who watched tech take over society to comment on something. I was part of the last generation to grow up without cell phones. I think you have underestimated the right grip this has on people. I don't have much faith in society or us as a species changing due to this. Social media, the internet, has changed how we communicate fundamentally. People are very selfish now and believe everything is short term. I just don't believe at all anything will be very different than what it was. People will largely go back to exactly how things were

[@prayerXtantra]

Huge DC fan. Best interview yet. More!

[@Voo504Doo]

Omg I’m so excited for the first part of work today !

[@josephkush1050]

Blueprint for Armageddon is such a binge listen

[@jamesewanchook2276]

it's a masterpiece, I agree!

[@Gregorio2298]

Listening to it for the 2nd time. Cannot get enough of it. I wish more people could get into it. Such a historical treasure

[@lefthandedrightminded3087]

I see new Dan, i instantly click

[@enkheeb2354]

Please please drop “Macedonia & Alexander”

[@PritchDringle]

"Mackadonians"

[@crossmooradian2642]

You rock, Dan. Thank you for this!

[@RobertJRoman]

Dan Carlin chose this interviewer. He chose him because he enjoyed their previous work together. A lot of people here are complaining about the interviewer. That's fine, but please recognize that what you dislike is probably related to something that Carlin liked about him.

[@charleshebert8434]

Recommended: Maybe Montaigne, because most certainly the events that he witnessed must have felt like his world was ending. This was a much needed listen at this time. Great job to both presenters.

[@sjones5616]

Hell yea. Thank you Dan Carlin.

[@redsierra8631]

love your work Dan thank you soo much

[@VentureAHighway]

Love Dan! Found him from Rogan and helped motivate me to start my own podcast and KZbin channel

[@stopwastingourtime]

Always excited to see a new episode!

[@jerrywalters8885]

Awesome you are a great interviewie. Hope you do more

[@-Zevin-]

So much for getting a good sleep tonight. Worth it.

[@PaJamB]

As always, great brain foods. Many thanks Dan and all involved.

[@tknow9298]

A new podcast from Dan Carlin. My day just got better.

[@Mixima101]

43:00 I agree with this. I gravitate towards podcasts and videos that are easy to listen to, that don't stress me out just to listen to, and also have insightful ideas that expand my mind

[@adamsnow4884]

I love that he snuck it a Tragically Hip reference with the Doors lyrics.

[@janer2703]

A listener, from the start, I guess I had better pony up some cash for all the great hours of Dan Carlin. I am just thankful that you stuck to your guns on your voice, by keeping the adenoids and the highs/lows in your podcasts. History should jolt us back to reality, once in awhile, no matter how surreal it might be.

[@sarcasmo57]

You the man Dan!

[@primafacie5029]

Always a pleasure

[@robertcavanna789]

This reminds me of a joke with my other artist friends; the pandemic was barely transformative for us - we were already locked in doors and looking internally for inspiration! Dan's idea for a lockdown-enforced creative revolution is beautiful... except that for most professional creatives, that's just living.

[@mabyemabyenot]

5 minutes in and I will now bow out. The interviewer is a grabler.

[@elmeramuro]

a pigeon pecker with some strange speech impediment edit: I made it to 11 mins. You were right to tap out. One of the first things he does is read the 'New normal' script straight from control structure

[@andreirotenev]

Hear hear, I’m with you. Man is a quack.

[@elmeramuro]

@Mitch Lang expressed no hate. It isn't a differing of opinion either. Take a breather lady. If someone doesn't like a podcast you like thats totally fine.

[@mabyemabyenot]

@Mitch Lang cool short story bro.

[@hanzsniff3192]

Love your work so much!!

[@anthonybowers7571]

Hearing this now in Jan 2024 is very interesting !

[@daltonking6956]

Oh my God, The hockey geek, and history geek parts of my brain are freaking out right now

[@DOYLERULES69X]

This guy is the most Canadian sounding guy ever and I'm a Canadian.

[@InMaTeofDeath]

My problem is even with free time I've never had the desire or ambition to do anything that generates income.

[@InMaTeofDeath]

@BLUE DOG Diagnosed with severe depression in THIRD grade, anxiety came along with it and both only get worse with age.(20 years later no medication works for either problem) The one and only thing I still enjoy doing is passively enjoying stories. Thus movies, games, books all work but doing those things does not earn you income. It's possible to USE those interests to do things that create income but all of those require a ton of extra stuff that isn't just passively enjoying the stories and therefore I have no desire to do it. Doing so eventually turns your interests into a job which in my case would mean it no longer interests me and my desire to do said thing would cease. I've been mastering reading, watching movies, and games my entire life and no unless you actually do something with x that other people want you will NEVER get money from x.

[@InMaTeofDeath]

@BLUE DOG "Psychiatry is a Cult." Citation needed extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. Sadness is not depression, everything you said about sadness is irrelevant, sadness is not my problem, at this point I don't actually feel sad anymore BECAUSE of the depression, if you understood what depression was and what it could do you would know that it is never just sadness, sounds like someone lied to you in order to make you distrust something they dislike. "A true soul?" Another citation needed lol, and solitary confinement huh? I guess that makes sense considering the the things you're telling me, abuse a human that much and just about anyone is going to come out saying crazy things.

[@iknown0thing]

Dan, why didn't you go on Joe Rogan to speak of your book?

[@CWiederwald]

just a delight to listen to

[@adamosborne9440]

[@JamesSerapio]

I remember those days... When people were in cities that aren't their home, like Dan in Toronto... Good times. 😅

[@RybecFromCanada]

"Some teases for you at the end of the show" I must resist skipping to the end to find out what is on its way too. I can wait two hours...

[@ringsgo3206]

Woops. I forgot to check in due to the distractions. Strangely enough I have always felt this way. I work in advanced life support close to four decades. I have traveled. Yep, two different directions. Is there a center? We in Pulmonary said, Death happens, while you're making other plans. Darnit, you too Cardiac, you know that one. 😊

[@LeonardoDaVincisGrandson]

thanks Dan

[@jamesewanchook2276]

I have the same rock music tastes as these guys, early Stones and Doors! I need a new masterpiece from Dan!

[@House_of_Schmidt]

I wish Dan would talk to people in the libertarian movement. Those people would point out that institutions are what failed during this COVID-19 outbreak and businesses are what bailed them out. Institutions developed models that failed. Institutions told us initially not to wear masks. Institutions, abroad and domestic, silenced doctors trying to warn of this virus. Institutions, with highly political motives are the failure and let's all watch as businesses develop remedies for this and bail us out.

[@adamlawrence6986]

I totally agree and thought Jeff was way way off

[@House_of_Schmidt]

@Chris Peters I'd suggest listening to Tom Woods, Bob Murphy, Scott Horton, Dave Smith and/or Michael Malice for starters. I don't support the bailouts at all. I agree and think they're gross however, private industry is currently on the leading edge of research for treatments and vaccines for COVID-19. Now ofcourse they're taking government subsidies so are they private? Eh. Kinda. Its more grey than anything but it all lies in the incentive structure. They're more likely to figure this out than anyone. Maybe im wrong though. Maybe someone at the CDC or WHO figures out a vaccine or treatment. We'll see.

[@finished6267]

What's that now? Are we really doing this? Ducking a disease so deadly you need a test to know if you have it? The cold plus? Foh.

[@travis3470]

Excellent best one yet!

[@markknife1]

1:43:12 history, is a story about an event. Tell stories. The interest in stories will intersect to history at some point.

[@LIONHEARTE944]

Dan I'm always inspired by you when you go onto Joe Rogan, dial him up man. I'm a frequent viewer of both of you, and he is always bringing you up in interviews.

[@southboundeightyone4958]

Absolutely loved this discussion. Not a lot of learning about history though, what I look to Hardcore History for. Feels like an addendum to Common Sense. Still love it, but I wanna know the end of Supernova or another topic I’d never imagined yet adored. Perfect discussion, IMO wrong venue.

[@felixborges7440]

I think the next big "fad" of things the general public will be interested in will be things like survival/ living off the grid, how to build homestead/ grow your own food and such.

[@maninatree1]

The argument against creative people isn't that you can't make money and there aren't these successful people and everyone waits for their ideas and they are super rich. The argument is that there are like 100 of those people, you need 1 of em for every 2000 other jobs. 99.99% of the rest of the creative people wait tables and searve coffee. its a brutal path to go down.
