What if everything you believe about aging is just a societal illusion? Join us as we unravel the myth that you're "too old" to learn new skills or embark on fresh adventures.

From the peaceful shores of Daytona Beach, we dive into a mind-bending conversation about perception and potential. At 52, I found myself questioning whether I could master new technology for our podcast—confronting that nagging voice that whispers "you can't teach an old dog new tricks." This universal doubt sparked a fascinating exploration of how we internalize limiting beliefs about age.

We examine how the aging process is entangled with cultural rites of passage and wisdom, questioning whether respect should be automatically granted based on years lived rather than wisdom earned. The conversation takes unexpected turns as we contemplate our place in the cosmos—could our entire universe be merely an atom in some larger entity's existence? What if we're just living on the back of a cosmic dog?

The discussion challenges conventional thinking about consciousness, matter, and the nature of reality itself. From 3D printing creating objects with consciousness to ancient civilizations potentially predating our historical timeline by thousands of years, we question everything science has taught us as absolute truth.

Whether you're 25, 52, or 85, this episode will liberate you from self-imposed limitations and remind you that age truly is nothing but a number—a social construct designed to help us make sense of our mortality. Ready to shatter your limiting beliefs and embrace your limitless potential? Listen now and remember: you're never too old to learn something new.

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist

It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
