Ben, I love all of your music. Listen almost daily. I need to meet you so much. I’m in love. I met your friend who sells your merchandise at your shows. He recognized me at the shows, and kidded that Im stalking. No I don’t do that! Your best show was at the old small hall library inPA.Did vip with sound check. The paper airplane tour. You picked my airplane in Cleveland. I just love your music like cray.

What's immediately fascinating is how an anthropologist sets up their webcam for a video call

[@pabloverdepruss]

I'm here to ask for an episode with Tim Minchin

[@totheinnerwild]

Interesting. I think the monkeys just resourced what’s socially acceptable to us. Similar to the fear we have in AI. Being incentivized by food, it’s a great observation on how we operate to bring food on the table. At least in old world dynamic.
Btw, the superimposed face & good audio alone make it worth watching. 😁. Was wondering when you’d be back on the scene. Cool to bring in an anthropologist. The subject has always intrigued me, like practical psychology w a magnifying glass. 👍🏼

[@Corn360]

Hell yeah

[@Der8cho]

This is really cool!

[@Clayphish]

Where can we see the whole episode?? (Nevermind - it’s on his other channel -should have listened more closely at the beginning).

[@mommy_milkers703]

[@codezeronerd5096]

What recording software did you use to also get the audio to work beautifully

[@codezeronerd5096]

Like with the video call

[@PaulBakewell]

Wow

[@Bacon420]
