EGO: 00:00:00

You ego net cost.

Martin: 00:00:06

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

Martin: 00:00:19

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

Martin: 00:00:33

starting out saying live on air YouTube.

Martin: 00:00:36

Check that out.

Martin: 00:00:37

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

Martin: 00:00:44

it and announce it on Facebook and Instagram Stories.

Martin: 00:00:51

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

Martin: 00:01:05

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

Martin: 00:01:11

here.

Martin: 00:01:12

Cheers.

Martin: 00:01:14

But I wanted to get back on track.

Martin: 00:01:16

The latest episode 30 was with Maria Rubia,

Martin: 00:01:23

artist, a music artist.

Martin: 00:01:25

That was during the spring of this year as I

Martin: 00:01:31

said.

Martin: 00:01:31

And at the end talk about the plans for 2024.

Martin: 00:01:36

Now I hear my voice here.

Martin: 00:01:39

So I will try to get through on another

Martin: 00:01:43

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

Martin: 00:01:53

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

Martin: 00:02:04

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

Martin: 00:02:12

tide and in Swedish we call it yevl.

Martin: 00:02:19

And in English nowadays it's often called

Martin: 00:02:23

Christmas.

Martin: 00:02:24

And I have a podcast together with my co host

Martin: 00:02:27

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

Martin: 00:02:33

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

Martin: 00:02:38

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

Martin: 00:02:43

But if you're a so called non believer or

Martin: 00:02:47

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

Martin: 00:02:58

wonder about it.

Martin: 00:02:59

Then it's important to know about the origin

Martin: 00:03:04

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

Martin: 00:03:12

And you could say the battle of the word.

Martin: 00:03:16

So I will include in the show notes about yule

Martin: 00:03:19

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

Martin: 00:03:29

tree, like a Christmas tree, joke about.

Martin: 00:03:33

Now again, Christmas xmas.

Martin: 00:03:36

So the jewel tide.

Martin: 00:03:39

So I often like to say merry jewel tide in

Martin: 00:03:42

English to my friends, english speaking friends.

Martin: 00:03:46

And in Swedish it's jewel.

Martin: 00:03:49

So where it's coming from, talking about

Martin: 00:03:52

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

Martin: 00:04:01

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

Martin: 00:04:07

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

Martin: 00:04:14

commercial holiday.

Martin: 00:04:16

And it's also holiday about celebrating end of

Martin: 00:04:20

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

Martin: 00:04:31

important to understand this about commercialization and gift giving and

Martin: 00:04:40

celebration and good times and so on.

Martin: 00:04:45

So for myself, I will buy myself a gift here

Martin: 00:04:51

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

Martin: 00:04:59

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

Martin: 00:05:06

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

Martin: 00:05:20

pets importance about pets.

Martin: 00:05:22

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

Martin: 00:05:26

has a dog and also Jonathan Hernig has a dog.

Martin: 00:05:30

So it'd be interesting to listen, read this

Martin: 00:05:33

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

Martin: 00:05:44

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

Martin: 00:05:52

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

Martin: 00:06:02

birthday.

Martin: 00:06:03

So I will also include that in the show.

Martin: 00:06:05

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

Martin: 00:06:16

subscribe to.

Martin: 00:06:18

I will talk about that in upcoming episodes.

Martin: 00:06:22

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

Martin: 00:06:29

and how you could support fellow podcasters out there.

Martin: 00:06:35

So he had done a podcast.

Martin: 00:06:38

Substack has now a podcast feature, you could

Martin: 00:06:42

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

Martin: 00:06:51

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

Martin: 00:06:56

others.

Martin: 00:06:57

And if you know the RSS feed and you get it

Martin: 00:07:01

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

Martin: 00:07:06

So that was pretty neat.

Martin: 00:07:08

And there he has posted an episode called 30

Martin: 00:07:14

Years in the press.

Martin: 00:07:17

And around 910 minutes into the episode, Scott

Martin: 00:07:21

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

Martin: 00:07:32

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

Martin: 00:07:40

work.

Martin: 00:07:40

And it was very inspirational and thought

Martin: 00:07:45

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

Martin: 00:07:52

For the record, I am not a movie buff.

Martin: 00:07:54

So Scott tolerance work with like as he

Martin: 00:07:59

mentioned also box office Mojo.

Martin: 00:08:02

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

Martin: 00:08:07

Substac.

Martin: 00:08:08

It's very valuable for me.

Martin: 00:08:10

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

Martin: 00:08:19

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

Martin: 00:08:28

streaming it online, so on.

Martin: 00:08:31

So I will check out that for next year his

Martin: 00:08:36

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

Martin: 00:08:45

So I will see here the time around 910 minutes.

Martin: 00:08:51

I will try to have it within 15 minutes.

Martin: 00:08:54

I will take another sip of tea here.

Martin: 00:08:56

Cheers.

Martin: 00:08:57

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

Martin: 00:09:05

will do unbothering my Christmas shirt, you could say.

Martin: 00:09:09

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

Martin: 00:09:20

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

Martin: 00:09:30

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

Martin: 00:09:36

there on blog spot blogger.

Martin: 00:09:41

So my plan is to update that blog bit more and

Martin: 00:09:49

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

Martin: 00:10:02

concepts, philosophical ideas.

Martin: 00:10:05

Doing that every day.

Martin: 00:10:07

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

Martin: 00:10:17

So being podcasting my first podcast since 2006.

Martin: 00:10:22

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

Martin: 00:10:29

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

Martin: 00:10:36

giving me some maybe new contacts, interests.

Martin: 00:10:41

One thing could lead to another.

Martin: 00:10:42

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

Martin: 00:10:48

That's one thing that I'm planning.

Martin: 00:10:50

And also continue with this to play with words

Martin: 00:10:55

tempest in a teapot or tours thunder.

Martin: 00:11:01

Now I will showing here on the video on camera

Martin: 00:11:04

play Toy plastic tour marvel.

Martin: 00:11:10

I think it's called Hammer Mjolnir name of

Martin: 00:11:18

Hammer Tors hammer.

Martin: 00:11:20

So I will use this on Thursdays and doing some

Martin: 00:11:25

ventilating about an issue, a topic.

Martin: 00:11:29

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

Martin: 00:11:32

et cetera.

Martin: 00:11:34

And then ask if it's really an important issue

Martin: 00:11:37

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

Martin: 00:11:42

In Swedish you say storm in a water glass.

Martin: 00:11:47

So with that, thanks for watching here live

Martin: 00:11:52

and then in replay when it's recorded.

Martin: 00:11:55

And then this episode one free 131 will be

Martin: 00:12:02

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

Martin: 00:12:09

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

Martin: 00:12:18

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

Martin: 00:12:25

Bye for now.

Martin: 00:12:26

Cheers.

Martin: 00:12:27

Here I will show my notes for this episode.

Martin: 00:12:34

Pencil.

Martin: 00:12:35

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

Martin: 00:12:42

Bye for now.
