  • episode TWENTY-THREE: 3 Artists w/ Shiny Object Syndrome vs. the World of GenAI
    2024/06/10

    Somehow, Overthinkers Anonymous Returned...

    ✨✨✨

    In this mid journey, rogue overthinkers Blueberry Moonbeam, Strawberry Sunshine, and Darth Serious scrape the iceberg of generative artificial intelligence (GenAI), what should (and shouldn't) be considered art. Plus, anything and everything artists in the digital age (should) overthink about.

    Broad strokes:

    • grilling Chat-GPT about the definition of art and whether AI-generated art can be considered "art"
    • originality, sampling and referencing: is everything just a remix of what came before?
    • is the career path of an artist still met with the same stigma and skepticism as before?
    • influence and inspiration: how Dune influenced Star Wars (not vice-versa)
    • "Theoretical Psychics Art Services" — Sunshine and Serious's arts studio/enterprise fostering human-centered artistic mentorship & collaboration—as well as facilitating access to networking and job opportunities for artists in the Philippines

  • episode TWENTY-TWO: Tip Jars and Tailfeathers
    2024/04/18

    "I highly recommend touching grass. I've touched so much grass recently."

    - Fidget Cube Guru

    🍽️🤑🐦

    In this fidgety chirp-a-thon, Fidget Cube Guru, Kenzient, and Tink (a green parakeet) split their bills overthinking about tipping culture, the highs and lows of owning a parakeet, and the subtle art of giving the right amount of f*cks.


    Chirp chirp:

    • tipping culture/etiquette in the Canadian restaurant industry
    • is having a small-scale, niche audience nowadays better than virality and fame?
    • the widespread lack of empathy in online interactions and why we need to listen to each other
    • the joys of touching grass—"Earthing"
    • letting go of the stories we tell ourselves and giving ourselves the freedom to fail

  • episode TWENTY-ONE: Doctor Whenever and the Enormous TARDIS
    2024/03/23

    "The film industry is big, it's oversaturated and profit-driven, and time-consuming. And oftentimes, very frequently, disappointing films just happen and we call them flops."

    - Doctor Whenever

    ⌚🎞️📶

    In this high-concept cinematic flop, Doctor Whenever, a part-time time lord, enlists returning guests, HBO Max (not to be confused with the streaming service FKA as "HBO Max") and KD to attempt to fix the Hollywood timeline (or space-time continuum) by discussing changes for films that failed to live up to their potential.

    Films discussed include:

    • Ghost in the Shell
    • X3: The Last Stand + Dark Phoenix
    • Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness
    • Blankman

  • episode TWENTY: Consciousness in a Nutshell
    2024/02/09

    “You are an individual, unique piece of this whole that we are all part of, and it’s not complete without you.”

    – Lindy Nelson

    🧠🌰🪷

    In this psychonautical odyssey, some sober guy named Tom (NOT from Myspace) is joined by two lovely humans, Jay and Lindy Nelson, authors of a book titled Consciousness in a Nutshell, to crack open the endlessly complex black box that is consciousness.


    This episode won't teach you more than a 4-year degree — but it's more compact, less costly, and lightyears more enjoyable than a lecture from an uptight professor who insists on everyone calling him "Doctor." (You know who you are, Dr. Robert. 👀)


    Turn on, tune in, and D̶R̶O̶P̶ O̶U̶T̶ voyage inward with us!


    Course Outline:

    • The enlightening potential of Creative Nonfiction storytelling
    • Self-awareness: is it possible to truly perceive yourself the way others perceive you?
    • Social media algorithms pushing outlandish conspiracy theories (like Dave Chapelle being replaced by a clone of himself)
    • Jay’s revelatory Near Death Experience (NDE) — “The Life Review Boomerang”
    • Altered States 101: how to override the narrative self (EGO) and the default mode network (DMN), with or without psychedelics


    Producer credits for musical interludes/segments:

    • Broad Sky
    • William Claeson

    Consciousness in a Nutshell is available to order worldwide via Amazon.

    2024/01/19

    "The book made me feel like I was getting a warm hug from a stranger. And not just any stranger... a stranger that I may or may not have known in a past life!" - Banana Ice

    🍌🥶

    In this lime (in a coconut), Banana Ice and Holy Shiver (AKA Alessandra Veronesi) turn their minds inwards, "unpeel themselves" from the inside out, and walk each other home after experiencing Christ Consciousness in a supermarket.

    Nutrition Facts:

    • humans sharing more than 50% of their DNA with bananas?
    • refreshing perspectives on romance and dating in a post-pandemic world
    • shedding the layers of who we think we are to become our most authentic Selves

    Producer credits for musical interludes/segments:

    • Macroform
    • The Golden Moons

    Find Alessandra (AKA Holy Shiver) on Instagram, YouTube, and her website. Check out her books (discussed in the episode) below:

  • Do I Dare Disturb the Metaverse? (Solo Sesh #1)
    2024/01/16
    What's this, another bonus episode? A glitch in the matrix? 3 bonus episodes in a row... Hockey fans might consider this a hat trick. 🪄🎩 In this first-ever solo episode (recorded in February, 2023), Jonah contemplates the possibility of making season 2 of Overthinkers Anonymous and reflects on the pandemic's psychological impacts on society—from collective paranoia, to the way everyone seems entirely off their rockers, to the way that technology has permeated every aspect of our lives. Let's pick up the fragments of our shattered reality together, fellow overthinkers. Title inspired by "The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock" by ⁠T.S. Eliot⁠ 👏👏👏 Outro: "VHS Flute 3000" by William Blue (unreleased)
