1
00:00:25,120 --> 00:00:29,020
Welcome to Conversations with, uh,
with Conversations with My Night Brain.

2
00:00:29,740 --> 00:00:31,060
Yeah, that's the name of the show.

3
00:00:31,630 --> 00:00:33,600
Conversations With My Night
Brain, with Chris Enns.

4
00:00:33,640 --> 00:00:36,880
I'm Chris Enns and this is a conversation
I sort of had with my night brain.

5
00:00:37,120 --> 00:00:42,245
It's one that, uh, as I've put out a bit
of a feeler thing to, uh, a community

6
00:00:42,245 --> 00:00:45,215
to see if anybody wants to be a beta
tester for being a guest on the show.

7
00:00:45,485 --> 00:00:47,975
Uh, response that I kind of thought
would probably happen, and it might

8
00:00:47,975 --> 00:00:52,295
be sort of a limitation or a hindrance
for the idea that I have for this

9
00:00:52,300 --> 00:00:56,945
show is, uh, someone's response was
that the things that actually keep

10
00:00:56,945 --> 00:00:59,735
them up at night are probably too
personal to have out in the world.

11
00:00:59,995 --> 00:01:04,115
And, and or combined with maybe
thinking that their topic, their,

12
00:01:04,205 --> 00:01:08,405
their thing is, or things are not
that interesting, more boring.

13
00:01:10,080 --> 00:01:12,690
Probably one of the flaws in my show
design, uh, is that the things that

14
00:01:12,690 --> 00:01:16,230
keep us up at night often are the
things that we don't want to talk to

15
00:01:16,230 --> 00:01:19,020
the world about necessarily, which is
why they're keeping us up at night.

16
00:01:19,230 --> 00:01:22,520
And there's this weird thing where
for some people, they seem to like.

17
00:01:23,175 --> 00:01:23,925
Breakthrough.

18
00:01:23,925 --> 00:01:27,914
I noticed this a lot with certain bloggers
back in the day, but even more so now

19
00:01:27,914 --> 00:01:33,675
with on Instagram influencer types and
Twitter people's, whatever, where some

20
00:01:33,675 --> 00:01:36,945
people seem to sort of, whether it's
just maybe the appearance that they do

21
00:01:36,949 --> 00:01:40,544
this well, but they seem to transcend the
idea that what they talk about in their.

22
00:01:40,615 --> 00:01:43,645
Or what happens in their personal life
can be shared publicly and the people

23
00:01:43,649 --> 00:01:48,565
in their personal life are also a along
for the ride and seemingly okay with it.

24
00:01:48,565 --> 00:01:50,185
But I can't imagine
that's always the case.

25
00:01:50,634 --> 00:01:53,005
And I'm sure we all have horror
stories or have heard horror stories

26
00:01:53,009 --> 00:01:56,785
of people who've overshared on
social media or blogs or podcast or

27
00:01:56,785 --> 00:01:58,524
YouTube channel or whatever, and.

28
00:01:58,885 --> 00:02:02,275
Their friends or family around them
who are drawn into this world that

29
00:02:02,275 --> 00:02:06,505
they didn't know they were a part of,
or publicly, uh, shamed or otherwise,

30
00:02:06,925 --> 00:02:11,665
uh, you know, are similarly, uh,
frustrated with them or worse.

31
00:02:11,965 --> 00:02:13,585
So that's definitely a
hard balance to walk.

32
00:02:13,615 --> 00:02:17,305
Um, I do feel like a podcast, especially
if it's a longer form conversation

33
00:02:17,305 --> 00:02:19,525
podcast, like what this aims to be.

34
00:02:20,265 --> 00:02:22,875
There's a certain amount of
like, uh, anonymity in terms

35
00:02:22,875 --> 00:02:24,255
of just the length of the show.

36
00:02:24,525 --> 00:02:27,735
Someone can't just copy and
paste a quick text or it doesn't

37
00:02:27,735 --> 00:02:30,075
necessarily come up with a quick
Google search, what someone said.

38
00:02:30,705 --> 00:02:34,335
Podcasts tend to be, uh, there's
obviously exceptions to this, but tend

39
00:02:34,335 --> 00:02:37,155
to be more, the content is buried deep.

40
00:02:37,455 --> 00:02:39,675
It's even harder to sort of surface that.

41
00:02:40,020 --> 00:02:42,870
It's just the nature of podcast and what
it struggles with podcasts is sharing

42
00:02:42,870 --> 00:02:47,580
good content from within a show that other
people would want to hear, unlike you

43
00:02:47,580 --> 00:02:50,460
on YouTube where it's just, you know, it
might be a three hour long video, but it's

44
00:02:50,460 --> 00:02:54,120
pretty easy to scrub to two minutes and
30 seconds or whatever the timeline is,

45
00:02:54,120 --> 00:03:01,090
and see and hear the thing that's funnier,
uh, weird or insulting or offensive, or.

46
00:03:01,680 --> 00:03:05,040
But yes, it's definitely good to exercise
caution in what you put out onto the

47
00:03:05,040 --> 00:03:07,920
internet and the people I would be
reaching out to at this point right

48
00:03:07,920 --> 00:03:13,170
now are not like living their lives out
in public, on the internet, in great,

49
00:03:13,620 --> 00:03:15,420
uh, displays of everything going on.

50
00:03:15,660 --> 00:03:21,030
And so, um, by that very nature, it's also
what makes it them interesting to me to

51
00:03:21,030 --> 00:03:25,455
want to talk to because there isn't, as,
Public life on display, on the internet.

52
00:03:25,875 --> 00:03:29,325
Um, so it's sort of that catch 22 and
of course to anybody considering it

53
00:03:29,325 --> 00:03:32,805
who's listening to this right now, uh,
whether it's in the future and I've got

54
00:03:32,805 --> 00:03:35,715
the show going, or we're talking about
just the beta testing idea of the show.

55
00:03:36,135 --> 00:03:39,315
Um, just remember that it's not
recorded live in the sense that

56
00:03:39,315 --> 00:03:40,905
somebody is listening to the recording.

57
00:03:41,325 --> 00:03:45,975
And you have ultimate vito power over
the show actually ever being published.

58
00:03:46,365 --> 00:03:50,865
And obviously, um, I am very okay
with the idea that we might have a

59
00:03:50,865 --> 00:03:53,895
conversation, we'll record it, I'll
even send it back to you or even before

60
00:03:53,900 --> 00:03:57,825
we, I send it back to you, you think,
shoot, that is not a good thing for

61
00:03:57,825 --> 00:04:01,275
me to, to say publicly in any form.

62
00:04:01,635 --> 00:04:06,785
And if that very, the very conversation
that we have on about your night brain

63
00:04:06,785 --> 00:04:10,475
conversations previously becomes the new
thing that you have keeps you up at night.

64
00:04:10,775 --> 00:04:12,755
Obviously that's not
something I want to do.

65
00:04:12,755 --> 00:04:16,205
So definitely any recording,
any conversation that's had

66
00:04:16,295 --> 00:04:19,805
around this idea or is it part
of a test of this, this podcast,

67
00:04:20,375 --> 00:04:24,065
um, you have ultimate veto power and,
and even to the point I think at this

68
00:04:24,065 --> 00:04:26,105
point anyways, I don't know, we'll see
what happens down the road, I guess.

69
00:04:26,105 --> 00:04:28,805
But even if something's published
and then all of a sudden things start

70
00:04:28,805 --> 00:04:33,615
happening that you didn't anticipate,
I'm totally fine with pulling an episode.

71
00:04:34,035 --> 00:04:34,965
This is not that serious.

72
00:04:34,965 --> 00:04:36,105
This is not money.

73
00:04:36,465 --> 00:04:41,055
This is just for interest and hobby
and, uh, just keeping up with the, my

74
00:04:41,055 --> 00:04:45,225
own podcasting skills and awareness of
what it's like to be on this side of the

75
00:04:45,230 --> 00:04:46,905
microphone, not just on the editing side.

76
00:04:46,995 --> 00:04:49,830
So, again, as you're listening to
this, if that interests you, if you

77
00:04:49,830 --> 00:04:52,440
wanna be a part of this, uh, just send
me a message wherever you can reach

78
00:04:52,440 --> 00:04:55,979
me if you know how to reach me, and
I'll send you the invite and details

79
00:04:56,310 --> 00:04:57,840
and we can get something scheduled.

80
00:04:58,169 --> 00:05:01,710
So this has been a episode of
Conversations with My Night Brain,

81
00:05:02,130 --> 00:05:06,780
meta Behind the Scenes edition
for Thursday, April 13th, 2023.

82
00:05:06,780 --> 00:05:07,440
Thanks for listening.
