Tolerance for Failure

Ranting about storytelling and some theories on why that is. Also for reference Headspace Comedy which I'm a part of will be doing a Zoom Show on Saturday September 12th at 8pm. Details and link below: https://www.facebook.com/events/417331932572376

Quick update of what's going on with me and some thoughts

33; an allegory for resetting the clock on a continuing cycle of self sabotage. Frankly a hard podcast to do.

Speaking about Tuesdays sucking, poor speaking skills, not being the only Ryan Long, and reflecting on the last ten years

I finally talk about my path to being a meteorologist and how I regret every decision I've ever made in my life.

Decided to record myself while driving back upstate. Rambled a bit about personal responsibility, roadtrips, emotional control, and driving

Back to what is hopefully regularly scheduled programming. What's up with me, the podcast, and a ramble on general malaise, present issues, childhood memories, and emotional engagement.

In this episode I talk about why it's important to have more deeper and thoughtful discussions. The issues of establishment, anger, identity politics, and the monetizing of diversity. Also criticisms to labeling Star Wars as being about fascism vs. anti-fascism.

Finally back with a new episode. Discussing current events, polarization, labeling, asking why and how more often, and lamenting the lack of ability to do comedy.

Back finally for episode 8. Talking about the present malaise and the head space I'm at (no pun intended).

Happy May the 4th! Here's the final commentary on the Rise of Skywalker. Honestly I felt like I stopped caring pretty early on into this. Included the wrap up in this as well since I'd rather not record a separate episode past today May the 4th.

Well we're here at 'The Last Jedi.' I don't know if this was the most fun I've had recording a podcast or a slow descent into madness.

The first of the sequel trilogy audio commentaries with The Force Awakens. I realize I sound too much like comic book guy from the Simpsons through this. Some interesting takeaways include my three ideas for how the sequels could've better even if it would've copied things previously done, and an observation on Disney couples.

Episode 4 marks the first of five episodes orientated around Star Wars for May the 4th. In this episode I talk about getting into Star Wars and my favorite aspects of Star Wars; the X-Wing books.

In this episode I describe what my experience was like nearly dying from an unanticipated medical problem back in 2015, and what I consider to be the miserable trifecta of medical procedures.

We're back for Episode 2 where initially I reflect on the difficulties of the present situation before I go off the rails a bit about 27 minutes in, justifying the on the fly title switch.

In episode 1 for Tolerance for Failure, Ryan roundabouts an explanation for what the podcast is about and discusses some thoughts on getting into stand-up comedy.
