little more sex with my Humanity

"Welcome back from vacation to a little more sex with my humanity."
T is back from a vacation and is feeling energized. James also returns from vacation, but his was filled with work, not relaxation.

"I was called back to the motherland."
T discusses her experience returning to the United States after spending 3 weeks in Europe. The US feels different now, and she's unsure how to describe the feeling.

"The birthplace of this world."
James and T discuss how the United States feels very different than Europe. James jokes about T's "vacation" being his time of working, while he's just now having a break.

"It's good. It's good. You were there, too, right?"
Both James and T describe the recharging effects of their respective times away. Both admit that returning to the US brings a sense of "weight" and anxiety. However, the feeling of safety abroad has helped T explore and trust herself more.

"That feeling safe has allowed me to start exploring and actually feeling who I am."
T discusses the internal shift she experienced in Europe, feeling a sense of safety and freedom to explore her identity. In contrast, the US feels overwhelming, especially after being away for a while.

"All these old voices in my head."
T talks about the internal noise she hears when she's back in the US. James confirms that he's noticed the same thing. T describes going camping with her parents, and how even though she loved the land, the noise was overpowering.

"I did have a picture in my head."
T describes her initial expectations for the camping trip, looking for tranquility. However, the constant sound of cars and the noise of the environment didn't match her picture.

"It took me weeks to kind of like, no, you lived the experience."
T realizes it took a while to let go of her expectations and embrace the realities of the trip. James agrees, and how living in Amsterdam, they haven't heard a car pass by in weeks.

"The noise that was in the background, now I notice it."
James and T realize that the noise they're experiencing now is the "quiet" they didn't even notice before.

"It sounds like white noise."
T describes the internal noise returning after being away, as well as the external "noise" of American society. The pair discuss the subliminal messages we're bombarded with, especially in the US.

"Are you happy?"
James describes how American culture emphasizes extrinsic values like possessions and wealth, which can lead to unhappiness and a sense of failing.

"We just set ourselves up for failure."
The pair continues to discuss the societal pressure and the disconnect from our true selves. T is feeling lighter and more connected to her inner self.

"I feel the release."
T shares that she is feeling a release from the pressure of external expectations and is starting to reconnect to her true self. James uses the analogy of "deprogramming" to describe this process of letting go of internal and external noise.

"We are 99% the same."
James continues discussing the concept of "deprogramming" and how it can help us move beyond the pressures of society and its expectations.

"When was the last time you were in an orgy?"
The conversation takes a lighthearted turn as T continues to discuss the "deprogramming" process. James asks if T has ever been in an orgy.

"The most orgasmic collective experience I've ever had."
T shares that an orgy for her is similar to dancing, as it's the most orgasmic collective experience she's ever had.

"You want to make sure that you leave everybody with the impression that they were the one."
James continues to explore the concept of an orgy through a humorous lens, talking about a teacher who taught the importance of making everyone in a group experience feel like they are the only one.

"It just kind of slowed me down."
The conversation takes a turn back to T's vacation, and she talks about setting intentions for the second half of the year, including recording once a week with James.

"So, I'm really looking forward to uh James and I have committed to recording once a week."
T lays out her plans for the podcast, including recording every Wednesday and releasing new episodes every Friday. She also wants to build a community around the project.

"I need to follow my intuition."
T shares a valuable piece of advice her mother gave her, reminding her to follow her intuition and to trust her feelings.

"We solved the three-body problem."
T recounts the beautiful sunset experience she shared with her parents. She compares the experience to the three-body problem in physics, finding a unique beauty in the reflections of the sun.

"Definitely a trinity thing going on."
T continues to explore her personal interpretation of the sunset experience, drawing connections to spiritual concepts and symbolic imagery.

"Give a shout out to the Podcast-o-Wot-A-Me."
James and T finish the episode with a shout-out to listeners.
