You ego net cost.

Welcome to Ego Net cost live streaming and future episode one free 131 so I will do a

talk here about Yule Tide, a good life and future plans for 2024 and I will see here

starting out saying live on air YouTube.

Check that out.

Now I hear myself here and maybe that will get into the recording also and I did also promote

it and announce it on Facebook and Instagram Stories.

And my Facebook walls it a bit so I will try to do it pretty short and sweet here and I

have been bit under the weather here so I have a bit of a cough so I will drink some tea

here.

Cheers.

But I wanted to get back on track.

The latest episode 30 was with Maria Rubia,

artist, a music artist.

That was during the spring of this year as I

said.

And at the end talk about the plans for 2024.

Now I hear my voice here.

So I will try to get through on another

podcast in Swedish called Victit Borictit important for real and what's really important

could say with by Corin coach co host Corinne Blood, master certified coach.

She asked about the bonus material at the end of the episode explaining about the word yule

tide and in Swedish we call it yevl.

And in English nowadays it's often called

Christmas.

And I have a podcast together with my co host

Blair called the Secular Foxhole and I mentioned it to him a couple of times about

the importance to point out the meaning of a word and so on.

Now it's so used to say in English Christmas.

But if you're a so called non believer or

atheist or secular individual and you hear the word Christmas, you could respond a bit and

wonder about it.

Then it's important to know about the origin

and original source, the pagan source, and also how the tradition have been.

And you could say the battle of the word.

So I will include in the show notes about yule

and yule tide and the log that you put in the fireplace like a piece of wood, for example, a

tree, like a Christmas tree, joke about.

Now again, Christmas xmas.

So the jewel tide.

So I often like to say merry jewel tide in

English to my friends, english speaking friends.

And in Swedish it's jewel.

So where it's coming from, talking about

Christmas Xmas, I will include also in the show notes an article by Dr. Leonard Peakoff

talking about why it's important that Christmas is commercial.

And for me as a poor capitalist, air quotes here understand the value that it is a

commercial holiday.

And it's also holiday about celebrating end of

the year and then with religion, others trying to force other things upon us, then it is

important to understand this about commercialization and gift giving and

celebration and good times and so on.

So for myself, I will buy myself a gift here

during Tide, a book by Dr. Peekoff and read by.

I will take it as an audiobook on audible because I have credits there and it's about

pets and it's read by Jonathan Hernig and it's Dr. Peakoff and Ein like in mine, rand about

pets importance about pets.

And I'm a cat person and I know Dr. Peekoff

has a dog and also Jonathan Hernig has a dog.

So it'd be interesting to listen, read this

book and I got notification about that and I did a tweet or an x post as they say now,

Twitter is now called X. And there it was Scott Holleran that informed me about this new

book and he thanked Blair and myself, our work with the episode on Dr. Leonard Pico's

birthday.

So I will also include that in the show.

Note he also recently in the section here good life in his newsletter Autonomia that I

subscribe to.

I will talk about that in upcoming episodes.

Also about Substac and the subscription model and the value for value model and plans there

and how you could support fellow podcasters out there.

So he had done a podcast.

Substack has now a podcast feature, you could

say, because you could subscribe to the RSS feed and have it in different podcast apps,

not a Spotify app, but you could have it in Apple Podcasts, for example overcast and

others.

And if you know the RSS feed and you get it

from them from a substac where you subscribe to and you could do that.

So that was pretty neat.

And there he has posted an episode called 30

Years in the press.

And around 910 minutes into the episode, Scott

doing a shout out and mentioning my name and also fellow blogger Gus van Horn that we had

done nice work there with podcasting and blogging and thoughtful comments about his

work.

And it was very inspirational and thought

provoking to listen to his career and his take on movie reviews.

For the record, I am not a movie buff.

So Scott tolerance work with like as he

mentioned also box office Mojo.

And then he's at scottoleran.com and now on

Substac.

It's very valuable for me.

So to go to a source where it's reliable and giving you inspiration and giving you a list

for upcoming views of a movie, going to a theater or renting it or watching it,

streaming it online, so on.

So I will check out that for next year his

recommendation recommendations again and see what I could watch for during next year.

So I will see here the time around 910 minutes.

I will try to have it within 15 minutes.

I will take another sip of tea here.

Cheers.

My plans for 2024 and I will do to joke here I

will do unbothering my Christmas shirt, you could say.

And under it I have a t shirt and that's like related to and here it's saying ego blog

egoist blogspot.com that was my first blog in 2002 on Google's blog platform.

But back in the day it was owned by a small private company and I was a premium customer

there on blog spot blogger.

So my plan is to update that blog bit more and

then I have a plan to like a daily short reading from Iran Lexicon, both words,

concepts, philosophical ideas.

Doing that every day.

And then over a year it will be then several hundreds of short episodes.

So being podcasting my first podcast since 2006.

Then it will come up in an amount that if I would done it on a regular basis as a new

media advisor, that will catch on maybe and also for search engine optimization, but also

giving me some maybe new contacts, interests.

One thing could lead to another.

For example, podcast the secular foxhole with my co host Blair.

That's one thing that I'm planning.

And also continue with this to play with words

tempest in a teapot or tours thunder.

Now I will showing here on the video on camera

play Toy plastic tour marvel.

I think it's called Hammer Mjolnir name of

Hammer Tors hammer.

So I will use this on Thursdays and doing some

ventilating about an issue, a topic.

It could be politics, it could be in the news,

et cetera.

And then ask if it's really an important issue

or is it a tempest in a teapot or storm in a teacup?

In Swedish you say storm in a water glass.

So with that, thanks for watching here live

and then in replay when it's recorded.

And then this episode one free 131 will be

editing now during day by yours truly and then post production and show notes.

And then I will publish it on a podcast hosting place captivate during the day.

So with that I will say Cheerio and talk to you soon again.

Bye for now.

Cheers.

Here I will show my notes for this episode.

Pencil.

I will do a photo on Instagram promoting this upcoming episode.

Bye for now.

Ego net cause close.
