Social Thinking Podcast

A great wrap up to season 2 concludes with Mr. Shannon Black. Creator, founder and builder at Big Freedom in Bellingham Washington. A gentleman of the build, Shannon explains his journey into building beauty and His love for a simple lifestyle. We find that happiness isn't monetary and that true joy comes from simply, enjoying our time on this big blue rock. Enjoy!

Ep.75- Getting Back to Nature with Ranger Mary

Ep.74- Getting Lost with Curtis Ashby

Yello! Our good buddy Christopher joins Us on this podcast episode to talk about His recent accomplishment of getting on stage at The Tacoma Comedy Club and finally scratching that itch. It's a nice calm episode where We all get to chit chat, skit skat and actually Matt and I do a few minutes of rush standup, awkwardly to no applause. Enjoy!

Passion is nothing without action. And until someone takes the risk/plunge/dive/cheesy phrase, nothing is ever going to happen. Cut to Chef Derek Bray! Owner and Chef of The Table; located on the busy street of 6th Ave in Tacoma. In this episode We learn about the moves our young Chef had to put into action in order to make his dreams a reality. We chew the fat, bring up a few controversial topics, try some "tasty" treat from Hong Kong and really get into the mind of Derek Bray. It's a casual lounge-fest filled with excellent conversation. Enjoy! Questions? Thoughts? Comments? Email us in at socialthinkingpodcast@gmail.com

Ep.71- Close Calls and the D-Pad Disclosure

Ep.70- The Heart of An Artist with Kat Flows

A very excellent episode with two of 253's finest! Revert and 4stro F4me join Us at STP for a deep delve into the minds of these talented individuals. These guys are equal parts awesome and well armed in their craft. But together, they create music that can compete with any and all mainstream music available. Give a hand and stand up for Revert and 4stro!

This episode is a little different from any of our others. Of course there are still laughs and jokes. Stories, poignant thoughts and opinions. But this episode really caused STP to straighten our chairs and lean in to it. A wonderful soft-spoken trio, filled to the brim with a crazy amount of talent, shows Us what it really means to be a family. Ink City Tattoo was just bursting at the seams with Love and adoration for one another. Their quiet natures perfectly hide their ferocious art! It's a beautiful story about a Father and HIs Sons and their need to fill the World with color. Enjoy :)

STP crossed a bridge recently: emotionally, spiritually and personally. Actually it was physically, as in, We took our interview over the waters into the loving arms of the amazing crew over at Wet Coast Brewing in Gig Harbor. In this episode, We get to sit down with Aaron and Bryan and gush over the mind-burstingly and tongue-tantalizingly crafted beers that are created at the Wet Coast. Beer is something that has always played a special part in STP history. It's how We basically came to be, how We bonded and was always our silent but tasty 3rd Co-Host. It's our mutual best friend. Ergo, Wet Coast treated Us to some of their favorite brews and We have one long and very vocal love affair with some beautiful crafts. Also We dive a little deeper and learn how it all turned from a backyard brew, to one of Gig Harbor's finest. Enjoy!

A whole new world opens up to Us here on STP. Our Buddy Ernie stops by to drop wisdom on Us concerning Tacoma Takeover and the Kendama Lifestyle. We also dive a little deep on Ernie himself and what the sport has done for him, as well as what He thinks it can do for others. Straight outta Mongolia and repping 253, We would like to welcome Ernie the Great into our STP circle! Enjoy

This week, Matt and I get rolled over by two charming, disarming and alarming women! Representatives of the Dockyard Derby Dames grace our mics with stories of their progression into the sport of roller derby. We learn what it takes to roll toe to toe with some of the strongest women out there. Matt and I toss out some roller derby lingo, get schooled on the rules and learn what NOT to say. Enjoy!

A big part of growing up is realizing that You can't please everyone. Learning that sometimes, what You love won't always make You popular. Sometimes, You may even feel like an outcast because of your passions. This week, Ryan and Patti from Tacoma Games on 6th Ave join Matt and I on the podcast and it was an amazing chat! We talk about the passion project behind Tacoma Games, their history with all things Nerdy and We find out that they not only helped keep a much needed game store alive but unknowingly, created a 2nd home for people. Enjoy!

Living in Washington grants You a few favors. One of which is amazing breweries. (They'll tell You it's Oregon, but eff that). We have tremendous coffee spots and baristas. And We produce the crème de la crème of serial killers. Yeah, You heard Me. Sure some states are more prolific and well known, but We are the most consistent! And Matt gives us the Cliff Notes. Oh! We also read some listener email and do a little Verses Versus. Enjoy!

Life can get a little too serious sometimes. We work, we struggle, we compromise where we have to and we survive to get serious another day. Hey, chill. It happens. SO, I thought in this episode, we'd just have a plain ole' bit of fun! I've set up a gameshow, complete with a studio audience, theme music and a few sponsors to help complete the effect! Matthew is unaware of the format and the questions that are to come, so let's give him a show! Put on Your thinking caps and play along at home :) Enjoy!

Topics of meat fly around like so many insects over a garbage dump! That was gross....why did I write that.....Anyways, We talk a little vegetarian and the douche-factor behind claiming gluten-free. We learn about the Micro Penis! Fascinating! A little meat on meat. And later, We hear two heart warming stories on one of our favorite segments: For Goodness Sake! Enjoy!

Sometimes, just to get started, You need to take a running start. Just dive right in and get the ball rolling. Early bird catches the worm and two birds with one stone and a bunch of other stupid clichés. Strangely enough the reason those sayings are so popular, is because it's actually very good advice. We reach out and catch focus with a young entrepreneur that goes by the moniker, Lexscope. Known to friends and family as Alex, Lexscope has pounced on and seized his passions by the neck and learned that vital trick to life that many still search for: Doing what You love. Getting paid for Your passions is a slippery fish that not everyone grabs, but this dude figured it out. Welcome to The STP, Lexscope.

Amazon Prime, Google, Hollywood.......Terminator Salvation? Drones are upon us! We learn about the future of E-sports with amazing people piloting precarious piles of passion! We explore the world of drone racing, the future careers it creates and We discuss a new segment that I have fallen in love with.....The D-Pad Disclosure!!!! eNjOy!

This is the one, peoples; we get down with our inaugural first guest ever! We make this a beautiful threesome of podcasty-ness. Cold Shoulder sits down and entertains us with a backstory We can all relate to. We learn about a creative soul that found his home on Sound Cloud and is using it to springboard into great things. We crack some jokes, get a little introspective and hear exactly what creative people need to hear. It's laughs, details and inspiration for anyone striving to create. Enjoy this one. We did!

A little recap heads up this episode in which we state the obvious: There is no pizza We cannot crush. We talk about the amazing Ballroom in Fremont and the delicious 28" pizza we consumed in 28mins. We brag on the success and participation of our friends, family, patrons and hosts. We discuss a little of the nitty-gritty behind the scenes of the podcast and the challenges leading up to the big event. And last but not least, we get into a little punage. Enjoy!
