Off The Lead

Edit; At around 14 minutes in I confuse the Mariana Trench and the Mid Atlantic Ridge. Easy mistake to make,* ones a trench and ones a mountain range. I'm a dope. I also confuse the Pacific with the Atlantic, apologies. *Not an easy mistake to make.I want to talk about how much of a prick Elon Musk is, but like most things, I think I should explain some other things first, lest I loose you. Or even worse, that I don't loose you and you know exactly where you are, only you don't know how you got there and are therefore lost.Like most peoples podcasts this episode covers where the earth gets its magnetic field from, what happens when icebergs the size of mountains crash into earth at several times the speed of sound and why cannonballs sink and footballs float.As always I can be contacted via WhatsApp on 0896047888 and supported financially via www.patreon.com/offthelead See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Gut microbiome, numerics and time travel, oh my!The thread throughout this recording is essentially about having a reference point. We always seem to need to know one thing before we can learn another. You can't learn long division before you learn short division etc.But, in almost all cases, what we deem to know already, is often either wrong or misguided or just poorly understood. Highlighting the need to really nail down our axioms, our fundamental presuppositions.

I started talking about social media feeds and ended up talking about camaraderie.

Today I open Pandoras box and delve into the world of conspiracy theories.This will be the first of a mini series, the idea being that I try and do the whole thing justice bit by bit and possibly do a half hour or hour long episode at the end when I've managed to organise my thoughts on 5he topic.If you want to help I can be contacted via WhatsApp 0896047888 or supported financially via www.patreon.com/offthelead See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

We all have aversions to certain things. For example, most people know you shouldn't support Manchester United because they're pricks. Conversely, people don't eat Cows hearts and there's no good reason for it.Today I try and progress my thinking as to why.As always I can be contacted through WhatsApp on 0896047888 and supported via www.patreon.com/offthelead See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

In keeping with the whole 'getting your ego out of the way' thing, this episode is an effort to try and figure out my thoughts on 'Psychological weight loss'.An ill defined term to say the least, but something that for me warrants further investigation.

4 days to go! It hasn't been easy but hardship is what I was after, hardship/penance/sacrifice I really feel like I've earned the right to enjoy my food all the more having committed to this.It wasn't easy (by any stretch of the imagination) but then again, nothing worth while ever is.As always I can be contacted via WhatsApp on 0896047888 and supported via www.patreon.com/offthelead See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

On the assumption that the article in the local paper might draw in a few new listeners, I recorded this episode which just generally outlines what the whole Off The Lead 'thing' is.But if me talking to myself isn't your cup of tea, check out one of the 38 conversations I've recorded. It's a fairly diverse group of people I have on so maybe pick someone or something that interests you and give it a go.And as always, I can be contacted on Off The Leads WhatsApp no. 0896047888.

I love a good list and this is one that I'm most likely going to work on, I'm hoping to add to it to the extent that it can become something in and of itself.Bastardisations and euphemisms are 2 things that I think are riffe in our society but what's worse is that most people are completely unaware of this phenomenon and are the worse off for it.Any and all help here would be greatly appreciated and you can reach me directly via WhatsApp on 0896047888.

Advice can be a tricky one. You want something to be as good as it can be but you also want it to be your own, to be original.People who give advice are most likely trying to save you from "making the same mistakes they made" but are often just robbing you of the opportunity to find this out for yourself.

As I explain at the start, a mate of mine questioned me regarding the whole only eating meat 'thing', he doesn't listen so I had to explain it to him from scratch as best I could. And essentially it's just another great, real world example of not 'really' knowing explicitly why you're doing what you're doing untill someone expressly asks.Said I'd kill 2 birds with the one stone and upload it so the world knows.As always I can be contacted on Off The Leads WhatsApp no. 0896047888 and supported through www.patreon.com/offthelead See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Carnivore Diet Update - Day 9 is online.I'm onto my 9th day of eating nothing but Meat (and eggs) and salt.So far (I'm conscious of getting ahead of myself here) I'm beginning to think it's one of the best things I've ever done.BUT, for people who are new to Off The Lead you need to know something, I'm doing this whole carnivore diet 'thing' as a fire break, it's sole purpose is to nock me off my sugar addiction. I'm of the opinion that, "having a sweet tooth" doesn't exist, it's just an excuse for being addicted to sugar. So eating nothing but meat is only for April (I'm toying with the idea of extending it already but I'm only a week in so we'll see how it goes).Its probably worth noting that I'm also of the opinion that we (humans) are omnivores and that we should be eating a balanced diet of meat and vegetables/nuts/seeds etc. If you're interested in hearing more about how and why I'm doing this then check out my 2nd chat with Bernard Smyth.As always you can reach me on the OTL WhatsApp no. 0896047888 an

It's been over 3 years since Grahams first appearance but it's safe to say he's still an absolute lunatic.We talk about everything from his diet, his death anxiety, his interest in psychedelia, "double everest-ing", dying on the side of a mountain, drugs, juggling training and his businesses as well as his family, music and much much more.For those of you who are that way inclined, this episode was video recorded and that can be found on Off The Leads YouTube channel of the same name {as soon as I can get it uploaded}.As always, if your're enjoying my content and would like to support me you can do so via www.patreon.com/offthelead and I can be contacted directly on Off The Leads WhatsApp 0896047888 See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
