Man, am I pissed off about it? An expensive item that just went on the very first time I tried to use it. I'm sure you have some stories you can tell, too. Also, we're taking some calls from the pavement pounders, and then I've heard a rumor that Dr. Ascot might be here, which I'm never happy about, but I'm happy you're here.

This guy's about, like, calming people down in these turbulent times. We've got all kinds of unrest and blah, blah, blah.

Starting point is 00:03:35 but it looks like Mordecai Craptain? It's Mordecai Krepster. Okay, great. Well, it's great to have you on the show, sir. It's great to be here, thank you. You are a psychologist with several degrees in psychologists, A specialist in the field of, I guess it's channeling the inner core, the inner spirit, the inner... The inner child, your inner station, your inner lighthouse, your inner merry ground, if you will, Mr. Williams?
Starting point is 00:04:19 Well, okay. I guess we all have that inside of us, of course. Yes, we do, going round and around, or... shining through a foggy, foggy night. I'm sorry, if you could just raise your voice a little Mordecai. I'm having trouble hearing you a little bit. Well, this is how I, to force, I choose to keep my energy very low and very centered. Okay, I guess I'll try and adjust my earphones here a bit. So we had you on today because there's a lot of unrest in the world.
Starting point is 00:04:56 There's a lot of turmoil. I mean, there's racial tension, there's rioting. There's, these are domestic issues. There's international issues with, you know, warring sanctions over in the Middle East. Russia and the Ukraine. I mean, it's just a very turbulent time everywhere, it seems. Yes, and that's why we really have to learn to, get a sense of self, get into our inner car, and just get quiet, get really quiet, and get inside.
Starting point is 00:05:40 I'm sorry, sir, if you could just speak up a little bit. I don't talk loud. I'm sure you've heard of my book. Yes, you've written a very popular book. Your book is titled, Shhh. That's right, yes. Shhh. And it's about meditation. It's about unlocking the secrets to longevity
Starting point is 00:06:10 so that we can lower our blood pressure, lower the everyday stresses that infiltrate our lives and grind us down, wear us down, take us down. Sir, if you could, I get what you're trying to do. If you could just raise the volume a little bit. I don't, I don't talk loud, okay?
Starting point is 00:06:36 I'm sorry, it seemed like you got a little bit loud right there. I don't get loud. Tell us about the book then, if you can, and if you could just speak up a little. I'm not, but I'm not speaking up. The book is, it's a book. about finding that quiet spot, that very quiet spot inside of you. And we can get in here.
Starting point is 00:07:01 They need to know everything you want. Everything. You know, it's really. Okay. Mordecai craps stain. Crap is crap. We can't hear you, sir. We appreciate you talking about the need to be quiet and get centered, but there's
Starting point is 00:07:23 also. need to communicate here. Well, I don't think that you should be telling me how to... Can we talk about your wife, or should I say your ex-wife, Eloise Crappstein? That's a crappy stand. Crappy Stan, I'm sorry. That's okay.
Starting point is 00:07:48 She wrote a book as well. I guess she worked in the same field as... you. That's where you two met. And she wrote a book called Turn Down the Noise, Flash Pop, Your Life. Well, I'm not really here to talk about my wife's literature. I'm here to talk about what I do. And what you really need to do is... Yes, but your wife's book seemed to, it looks like it's been 17 weeks on the New York Times bestseller list. Well, I'm really not here to endorse. and it looks like she won a Pulitzer Prize for her literature that really seems to be changing the way people think about
Starting point is 00:08:35 I'm not here to talk about my wife sir I'm sorry I'm not really here to talk about my ex-wife's book I'm here to talk about Yes, but apparently your wife, your ex-wife gave a TED talk recently that had people at the end of it just on their feet. Apparently, some of the things she said, I am not here to talk about my wife. Now, if we could just get back to shh-sh. And an honorary degree in literature.

Starting point is 00:10:00 Crapis... Caspadian? He's gone? Wow, what a hot hat. Okay, fine. I guess we lost our guest. Let's move on. Wow. So much for... Shh.
Starting point is 00:10:20 Yeah, let's move on. Let's go to a topic that I think we can all relate to here. And I want to hear your stories because I know it's happened to each and every one of you listening. How many of you have made a purchase or, you know, I don't know, tried something for the first time or bought a consumer product? and the very first time you go to use it, you wreck it. Like, how many of you have ever just bought a new car, and the first day you're driving it, you scrape it, or you smash it into something.
Starting point is 00:11:05 Or you buy a new bike, or you get a brand new appliance in the house, and on day one you scratch the paint on it. Or, you know, you just bought a new something or other, and you get home and you just take it out of the box and you drop it. Or it's been in your house like a day or two and you knock it over. You know, or you bought your cell phone, your brand new $700 iPhone, and on day one, day two, you drop it and it breaks or you drop it in the toilet. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:11:40 I want to hear those stories because as much as I hate to admit it, this happened to me. I got one of those GoPro cameras. I got it because I specifically got it because I wanted to film underwater. Okay, I thought, oh man, how cool to go underwater and film like sea life. You know, maybe you catch a dolphin or a shark or you catch a stingray or a giant fish or you, who knows what you'll see underwater? That's like a fantasy land, right, underwater? So I bought a GoPro, and it's like, not only that, but it was something new.
Starting point is 00:12:21 It was like, man, I've never filmed underwater before. This will be fun. I'm like Jacques Cousteau. I'm like, I'm like some kind of new age, like underwater, like Seaharts photographer, man. Like, guess what I did this week on everybody? Raise your glass of red wine. Um, hello. I was filming underwater.
Starting point is 00:12:45 Water, Elkai. I'm sure all you people have filmed up on land, but someone at this dinner party, hello, filmed underwater. That would be moa. Yeah, so it was something cool, something different. And so, you know, I tried this little rig out in a swimming pool. I was, you know, before I go out into the ocean,
Starting point is 00:13:10 before I screw it all up, I'll try it in a swimming pool. So, you know, I put it all together. I had a buddy helped me kind of show me how to work it. And sure enough, I go in the swimming pool and I'm like, yes, I, you know, I took some shots of me swimming just to see what it looked like. And I was like, oh, man, it looks incredible. It looked amazing. So, like, a few days later, I had a trip planned. I went down to Florida and I'm so excited.
Starting point is 00:13:41 I'm like, oh, man, I mounted the GoPro on the end of a pole so that I could, like, push it into things. Like, if I saw a fish down on the bottom, I could push the pole at it, you know? Because, you know, your arms only have so much reach. So I had, like, about a five-foot pole that I had to work with. And I mounted the GoPro on it, and I put the casing. And here's where it got funky, okay? When you've got an underwater camera, you have to put this water,
Starting point is 00:14:11 tight plastic casing around the camera. Obviously, you can't just put a camera under water. But GoPro kind of made this casing where it's kind of got a real funky latch. Like the latch is like it's not like any latch you've ever seen. It kind of folds in and then back and then down and then you have to press it and clip it. and it's just this funky latch like it's kind of something you're not used to and it's kind of constructed,
Starting point is 00:14:43 it's engineered so that it's a bit awkward and a bit odd. So here I go. I'm trucking down to the ocean. I got my camera mounted on my pole. You know, I got my flippers on. I got my mask sitting on top of my head. Standing there knee deep in the ocean.
Starting point is 00:15:04 and I've got my camera all like packed up. I'm mounted on the pole. And I step out into the, I'm standing in the water. I'm kind of walking backwards, getting in a little deeper so I can start swimming with my fins. And I look down at my GoPro on the end of my stick. And I see that the plastic casing is like sitting open. Like an open egg carton.
Starting point is 00:15:33 And I'm like, Uh-oh, and I realized I've already, like, been wiggling the stick around under water, and I'm like, whoa, I'm lucky the GoPro didn't drop right out. But right away, I'm thinking, oh, man. I realized that the actual GoPro without the case was submerged in salt water. And so part of me is thinking, oh, it's cool, you know, the casing is just, like, extra protection. The camera's waterproof. Okay, why would they make a camera that wasn't waterproof to go on the water?
Starting point is 00:16:09 You know, the casing's just like bonus protection. It's like, it's like, you know, wearing a bulletproof vest. Wrong. So my very first time into the ocean, submerged the camera, the casing's open. My camera's like completely useless. I go up after I get out of the ocean. I'm already pissed off. I'm swimming around pissed off
Starting point is 00:16:37 underwater, cursing at sea urchins and shrimp and catfish and moray eels. You're just a stupid, go-prone. Fuck, I made a big starfish, made a fucking sea horse following gray-white shark. You know, I'm just cursing up a storm, yelling at all the sea creatures. You've got a fucking jellyfish fucking ass, you know, just going off.
Starting point is 00:17:10 Kind of ruined my swim a little bit, right? Hey, everybody, who wants to have better sex? No, yes, yes. The answer is yes. You always want to have better sex.

I was like, what are you going to do? Once something goes wrong, what are you going to fret about it all day?
Starting point is 00:18:43 Once it's done, it's done. You can't undo it. But in the back of my head, I'm thinking, oh, it'll still work. It'll still work. So after I got out of the ocean, I took my GoPro up to my computer, and I plugged it in. And hallelujah, I was like, peep, beep, beep. The little red light came on. I was like, whew, it worked.
Starting point is 00:19:02 And then, of course, you know, cut to like three minutes later. Dead. Gone. I'm like, man, I didn't even get to use it once. I didn't take one frame of film with my underwater GoPro. So Harlan, tell us about your underwater camera event. Could you show us some of your underwater. action-adventure footage that you've been telling us about, Harlan?
Starting point is 00:19:38 Um, yeah, I, uh, uh, oh, I got my camera wet and got destroyed and I didn't take a frame of film. Oh, well, I guess that just makes you one of us land photographers then for now, doesn't it, Harland? Mm-hmm, mm-hmm, can I grab your inner thigh? Whoa, what was that part? Easy. easy lana del ray um so anyways man these these gopro cameras aren't cheap these things are like 300 400 bucks i you know i got the one with the special casing and you can add the lcd screen on it and that's fried as well and that thing was like an extra 150 200 bucks
Starting point is 00:20:26 so a it sucks that i i fried my camera which you know No one wants to do, but B, a double sucks that I never, ever shot one frame of underwater ocean footage. I'm almost like, man, if I had just had like a year or four months or even a month with my camera and I got a bunch of footage, I'd be like, all right, at least I got something. Nothing. I didn't even get a fish scale or a, the size, a minnow. I didn't even get a bubble Nothing Oh it's so aggravating
Starting point is 00:21:09 So maddening You know and it's like no big thing Nobody died You can always go get another GoPro But man that's like it's expensive And you're just pissed and you go Oh man that stupid latch And then of course once I got up on
Starting point is 00:21:23 On land and I started fiddling around With the latch I went oh This is how you close it click Okay I don't didn't do this this is how you're supposed to do it before you fry your camera underwater oh harland we're so sorry can i grab you so anyways man i want to hear if you have stories where you because i need to feel better okay i i feel like a dupus i feel like an ass i feel like a moron Idiot, and I can't be alone in this space.
Starting point is 00:22:03 I can't be here. It's too lonely, and it's, it, I can't feel isolated this way. I can't be the only one. So I need you guys to call in and comfort me with your true stories. Don't make stuff up. I can tell when you make it up. I need to hear your true stories of you wrecking something or messing something up within the first day, or two of getting it.

So write me, you can write me at harlomwilums.com, or better yet, I'd rather hear from you, because I want to hear the frustration and the pain and the misery in your voice,

Tell me about the day you fried your iPad or your laptop or your new car or you burnt down your new house. I know you've all got a story. I need to hear them. So call in, share, and let's all just sit around in a circle, and it'll be like group therapy.

I just want your inner thigh with those corduroy pants. Anyhow. So there you go. Yeah, call me. Pavement Pounders 3-2-3-739-40-3-30. Damien!
Starting point is 00:24:02 Damien! Damien! Look at me! I'm over here! Damien, I love you! Look at me, Damien! It's all for you! Hello!
Starting point is 00:24:20 Hello? Hey, Harlan, this is Nate calling from Sacramento, California. Been a fan of you ever since I saw you on Space Coast Coast to Coast back in the 90s, and you asked him if he had ever rubbed the bar soap on his grandmother's forehead. And ever since I saw that episode, man, I've been checking you out, and you're hilarious, man. Anyway, I'm turning in my homework a little late. I hope I get some credit for this. You asked last week if there's any weird things in our house that you don't know where we got it from.
Starting point is 00:25:02 And I found something in the back of my armoire. I was clean out my armoire the other day. And all the way tucked in the back was a recipe for soy and ginger marinated pork chops. It's from a magazine. It looks like it was torn out of a Martha Stewart living. magazine dated September 2011 and I'm just like
Starting point is 00:25:24 what like just like you I don't cook I mean I can cook pasta and like macaroni cheese that's it but like soy and ginger
Starting point is 00:25:33 marionated pork chops I don't know where I got this from I don't know how it got in my art more and it was weird so yes weird recipe tucked in the back
Starting point is 00:25:45 of like next to some clothes anyway Hopefully, hopefully that helps. Hopefully, to play this on the podcast if you want. Hopefully that helps. I'll get some credit for it. Please pass me. Anyway, I'll, uh, thanks, thanks for listening and, uh, keep doing the podcast, man,
Starting point is 00:26:04 because it's awesome. Anyway, later. See, there you go. Nate gets it. Uh, a few podcasts back a while ago, I'd asked, I'd asked you guys, you pavement pounders, if you'd ever found anything weird in your house, or in your garage or in your car, whatever, and you couldn't explain where it came from.
Starting point is 00:26:23 It was just there. And you're like, wait, where did this come from? Who, whose is this? What is this doing in my home? I don't remember buying this. What? What? What?
Starting point is 00:26:36 So that's how it works, man. And that was a great call. Thank you, buddy. Great to hear. Very strange. A recipe for soy ginger pork chops or something. The only thing weirder is if you actually had found a plate of soy ginger pork chops in your house and not just a recipe. So that's what I mean about wrecking stuff.
Starting point is 00:27:01 If you've wrecked anything very early on in your ownership or in your possession, just call in like Nate did here. And tell me all about it, man. Thanks for the call, buddy. Hello? Hello? Hi, Harlan. This is Cindy from Portland, Oregon. I had called you a few weeks ago to talk about troubles I was having sleeping,
Starting point is 00:27:29 and I wanted to call and give you an update. Things are going better, but I wanted to share, in particular, one of the things I had done to get some exercise, and that is join both the Dodgeball team and a catch-ball team and a kickball team. And not only does they get me more exercise, which then, of course, is helping me sleep a little bit better, but it's one of those things that makes you feel like a kid again,
Starting point is 00:28:00 like when you drink out of the garden hose. And I just wanted to share that because it just seemed like something you might get a kick out of. So anyway, I hope all is well, and I will keep on listening to you. Take care. Oh, Cindy, Cindy, Cindy. Good for you. Good for you. We had talked a while back.
Starting point is 00:28:21 Cindy had called in and said, is there any way you could help me? I'm having trouble sleeping. And so I recommended a bunch of things. And one of the things I said that really helps you sleep better at night is if you start to do a daily exercise routine. If you get any kind of physical activity, whether it's going to the gym or playing tennis or whatever.
Starting point is 00:28:42 And it sounds like Cindy took that advice to hard. and joined a kickball team and got into some dodgeball and some very violent sports, which is sure to help you fall asleep at night. So good for you. I'm glad you're sleeping better. And I also like the little add-on you put in your call about it. It kind of helped you make you feel like a kid again. And I think part of that comes from, part of it comes from actually getting involved in the activity.
Starting point is 00:29:16 and playing a game or a sport that you played when you were younger. But also I believe that when you do exercise, it just euthifies, and I know that's not a word, but it euthifies your body because everything starts moving and pumping, and it releases endorphins and chemicals and all the things that make your body active and alive and tingly and fresh. And I think that adds to kind of the youthful, vibrance that you have because your body is responding to moving and grooving and expending energy
Starting point is 00:29:55 the way you did when you're a kid. So good for you, Cindy, and I hope you have many, many nice, long nights of beautiful, beautiful sleep. Oh! Hello? Hello? Holland, big fan of Florida. That's got to ask you one question. Where the hell is Dr. Eskopf in?
Starting point is 00:30:19 Holland. Hello, Holland. Oh, God. What are you doing here? Holland. What? I didn't even hear you come in. Holland.
Starting point is 00:30:37 Well, I didn't, I mean, I'm doing my podcasts. I didn't hear you that. Roger, did you let him in? Holland, please relax. I am relaxed. I'm just saying, you know, you should probably knock or something before you just walk into my studio, Dr. Ascot. Oh,land. What?
Starting point is 00:30:56 Holland. What do you, what are you doing here? Holland. Stop saying my name like that. God. You seem a little stressed out, Arland. Well, I was doing real good, Ascot. Real, real good.
Starting point is 00:31:16 You suddenly appeared like a creepy ghost out of the attic of... What are those cranberry colored socks? Yes, Holland, my favorite color, cranberry. Ew. Who to you, Holland? No, ooh to you, Ascott. Holland. And stop saying my name.
Starting point is 00:31:37 Holland. Oh, what do you want? Holland, I was sent up here by your boss, Mr. Featherstone. Oh, brother. Holland, please pay your respects to Mr. Featherstone. No. Oh, and you will get a pink slip, Arlund. Thank you, Mr. Featherstone, like he's even listening.
Starting point is 00:32:02 Holland. What do you want up here? Holland, I know on a recent podcast you were talking about, Depression, Holland. Yes, I was. You know, the poor comedian Robin Williams passed away. way and so I dedicated, you know, a portion of the show to talking about it, yes. Oh, Arland, we certainly don't want depression because you look always depressed. Stop it, I do not.
Starting point is 00:32:31 Holland, I mean seriously, if you looked in the mirror, Arland, look at the crinkles under your face. There are no crinkles under my face. What do you want? Holland, we're going to talk about depression today. I've brought a a couple of examples. What are these boxes you're unloading here? Holland, please be patient. I am patient. You're interrupting my podcast, Ascot. Alan, do you see what I've written on these two boxes?
Starting point is 00:33:02 Yes. What does it say, Holland? One says depression and one box says happiness. That's right, Holland. And those are the two dynamic things we have to deal with as human beings. Sometimes we feel happy. Like when you're not here? Holland.
Starting point is 00:33:28 And sometimes we feel depressed. Oh, you mean like when you are here? Holland. Yes, okay. Happiness, depression, so? So I want you to use these as examples to, Help set your course every day. Use these examples as a compass to remember that happiness is in one box
Starting point is 00:33:57 and depression is in the other box, Arland. You just have to wake up each morning and choose the box. Wait a minute. You're saying the way to overcome depression or to attain happiness is just wake up in the morning and pick a box this is ridiculous not really alland if i open the box oh what are you opening that you're opening the box of happiness exactly allan and do you see what i have pulled out oh what is that a little bunny that's right allan oh my gosh look at the little guy oh my gosh okay i'm not usually a cute and adorable guy but that is adorable he's got a little grape

You know, maybe, just maybe, you're on to something. Would you like to hold bunny wogglings? Who? Bunny wogglings, Alland.
Starting point is 00:35:26 What kind of name is that? That's the name of the happiness, Bunny, Alland. Bunny one-wonglings? Bunny Wogglings, Holland. That is the dumbest name I've ever heard. don't use that tone in front of bunny wugglings. Give me bunny wogglings. Give me bunny wogglings.
