Moby: Be A Humble, Open & Curious Observer
Вставка
- Опубліковано 19 чер 2024
- Moby (musician, DJ, photographer, author, animal rights activist) opens up about his unconventional childhood, what sobriety has taught him, and the effectiveness of activism. He discusses his drug and alcohol abuse which began at an early age and being forced to drop out of college due to crippling panic attacks. Moby details the impact his anxiety had on his journey to pursuing a musical career, why being vegan is a core aspect of who he is, and what philosophy can teach us about our sense of self. Mayim and Moby consider the painful journey of getting to know oneself, achieving fulfillment and happiness through being of service to others, and the process of overcoming the fear-driven desire for control.

OK, Mayim , you were clearly very excited about Moby and Johnathon excited about his project and you just shut him down. Look at his face at the end. Bless you , you're wonderful but sometimes so self absorbed.!!
What an elegant human being and he has giving me alot to think about: 1. trauma can be spun into gold as far as character 2. grass is not greener on the other side and how the simple experiences in life (dogs and hikes) are true beauty. 3. It's okay to keep yourself within safe boundaries and help people doing what you love.
Today’s episode has a big treasure inside: the motto we all must always have written in our bedside table: “THERE’S ALWAYS HOPE”.
Moby’s own trip from self destruction, alcohol & drug abuse, hell of depression, success but void soul & inner loneliness to the brilliant wonderful man he is today must be a message of hope to all out there in similar circumstances. A big hurrah for him and a big thanks to Mayim & Jonathan for bringing to us such interesting episode! You hit the nail! Again! 💜
A boy beginning to abuse alcohol and drugs at nine, touching the bottom at only thirteen and becoming an awesome sober man at his middle age after some decades of selfdestruction is truly stunning and heartwarming. I wish this episode never ended, I’d like to sit there with you three, as another friend, with an smoothie in my hand and let him and you both talk, and talk and I listen and learn…Such awesome episode..AGAIN! Thank you @missmayim , @storiescompany & @moby ! @bialikbreakdown is my drug…! And I didn’t want to get sober!
Most of the more severe illnesses happen to people by an upsetting event happening in their lives that takes them by surprise, unexpectedly, impacting first in the brain, then in the corresponding organ which that part of the brain controls. The end of WWI had absolutely everything to do with the Flu and lung TB outbreak that occurred killing millions. In nature, the biological conflict linked with a territorial fear (just what it means-a fear in your territory, your home, your community, etc.) is a widening of the bronchia (tissue loss). Your body attempts to widen your bronchia in order to allow more air into your lungs to give you more strength and energy to fight to keep your territory safe. Stay with me.......The biological conflict linked with a death fright impacts the lungs. The lungs attempt to grow larger in order to allow more air in because breath equals life, as we all know. No breath equals death. Why are so many people across the world suddenly having their appendix removed? The appendix is associated with “being in fear for one’s life”. The HEALING phase is the rupture/inflammation.
While you are in the fear or death fright conflict, you notice no symptoms of “disease”, except you have cold hands, cold feet, you can’t sleep, you awaken at 3 AM every night, you have little appetite. During the war, millions of people were in fear of the bombing of their homes and cities where the war was most active. Fearing for their lives, their loved ones in the war, their ability to survive. The food in the stores was sparse due to shortages. This lasted for 4 long years! The longer the conflict, the worse the healing phase. Within 2 weeks of the German Chancellor announcing the end of WWI, these millions of people ALL went into the healing phase all at the same time. It is during the healing phase that you experience symptoms of illness! What is the healing phase of the bronchia widening? Severe bronchitis, pneumonia. The body attempts to refill this lost tissue and you experience inflammation, fever, coughing, body aches, fatigue, etc. What is the healing phase of the extra lung tissue that grew? Decomposing of the tissue by TB bacteria and fungi. The symptoms of this healing phase are: severe coughing up of blood and tissue, fever, inflammation, severe mucous, body aches, fatigue. During this decomposing of the extra tissue (tumor), the body expels a lot of protein, and without replenishment, severe protein loss can result in death. Antibiotics did not exist yet. If TB bacteria does not exist in a person or they have been vaccinated against TB (big mistake), then the tumor will simply encapsulate and become dormant and not harm you. Who died during the Spanish Flu? Mainly the poor who could not afford to buy meat and proper nourishment, and the people who were directly impacted by the bombings and destruction of their homes.
Millions of people suffered fear and death frights during the fighting of WWI, and millions of people all went into healing at the end of it. Not everyone was affected because not everyone suffered the same way.
It’s not a “flu”, it’s not something you “catch”. It’s biological, meaningful, and unavoidable. One hundred years later, a Fear Campaign begins, using the media to spread it......
Just a side note- Dr Ruth is still alive and althogh physically small in stature she is an amazing woman who has experienced extraordinary circumstances of pain and suffering and is truly a self-made woman. She is a Holocaust survivor, a former israeli combat fighter, a thoughtful and insightful therapist and writer and has had a one woman show created about her life.
I actually like being able to watch AND listen to podcasts!
Yes me too!!!
OMG! Moby! I love Moby's music so much, Play is one of the most incredible masterpiece ever! Thanks for inviting him, Mayim 🙏❤️
I have no idea where to start. I was a club DJ in all of the 80's and some of the 90's and played near a University where "Techno" music, as we called it, would fit in during the later part of the evening. I was so into Moby at that time and have kind of lost track of him. Having said that, I suffered from severe anxiety and panic and the god shaped hole my whole life, I am now 76. I did not drink or take drugs, I'm not sure why, but just lived with it, so I know exactly about his ability to be a DJ in front of a large crowd and be such an introvert. I once had a dream that I was flying in first class, which really would be a dream, and I met him there. Why or how I'm not sure, but I was very much into electronic music and he certainly would have been someone I would have loved to meet. This is one of my favorite episodes, I learned so much about him. Thank you.
ohh, Moby! what a treat.. Thanks, can't wait to listen to you guys today
(done, was very interesting, at the end felt like it could have gone for more hours, and i would have listened to it all)
I just love podcasts with empathy and humor . Knowing your not alone and that their is help.
Such an excellent run of intelligent, articulate and fascinating guests. Then you hit Moby. Every perfection requires a flaw.
Loved the episode.
First time I see a Moby interview. Had no idea he was such an animal activist; made my day.
I would have liked to hear more about how to get to a vegan society (in which no animal is used at all). You are into quotes so here is one “You never change things by fighting the existing reality. To change something, build a new model that makes the existing model obsolete.” ( R Buckminster Fuller)
I fully enjoyed this interview. Moby’s music was the soundtrack of my senior year.
Moby may have become a household name since the 80's, but personally not aware of most of his work myself. Think he's an amazing individual to have functioned and found the success that he has with all he has been through, awesome stuff.
YAY! More wonderful conversations!
YAY!!
The coolest part to me... .Moby still knows his friend Tom and what he's doing... Became rich famous, traveled the world, Knows so many cool people. Just shouts out a childhood friend. Tom... hair down to his butt doing forestry in the pacific northwest. And there's the dismissive "He showed us" But there are so many of us who think that's the life like the perfect and best thing ever.
All due respect, I'm not a podcast listener either, but I'm happy to be here
This man is brilliant! I had no idea. ❤️
I think his point about Nature doing it best is so kickass... we're doing it all wrong as humans, and we're trying to get back to peace but if we would just stop "trying" and just "BE" at peace, I think we'd be in the harmony that Nature is constantly trying to teach us. Thank you, I absolutely love him now, I didn't know that I did, but this interview confirms it. 😜 Thank you for your channel, Mayim, it's incredible at teaching so much! Listening to his Best music now according to youtube.☺️
Yes so true. People underestimate how much nature truly has everything under control. It is a beautiful thing that doesn't need all this meddling.
This is the best video I've seen in a very long time. The raw honesty is so refreshing. At 66 I'd never heard of Doby but now I feel honored to know him. He is such a great example for what sobriety is and can be. Thank you for such great content.
I just want to say I love all three of you so much. In a world of so much darkness and suffering it brings me a lot of hope watching this.
I like Moby. Great interview. Thanks.
Im so excited for this episode. I’m a huge fan of Moby. What an excellent conversation!
I really like your format, but this episode touched me on a deeper level. Moby‘s story shows that there is always an option, and that you’re never too old to start your life anew and take back control.
I love them both! Gosh this is the best!
We are in such a world of focusing on the positive that I just adore it when people are honest about their contempt for things and rolling out a list of things they don’t do or like 👍🏻
I propose a second interview with Moby. He’s good for the soul. ✨🌀
The way Moby is with podcasts is how I am with Facebook haha. I don't have one so we can't be Facebook friends sorry. :)
I like watching podcasts. Moby 💛💛 best video.
Never followed Moby's career....loved listening to his philosophy of life...great interview...love when a person goes deep into his thoughts and perspectives.
Moby rocks! Best podcast ever..
my favorite interview that you've ever done. i too, like other people who mostly don't like other people 😁
Jonathan is so cute, he's TOTALLY writing this screen play.
So, I saw Moby play at a festival called BFD at the Shoreline in Mountain View CA in 2000. I didn't really know anything about him but I remember standing there at the front of the lawn, behind the barrier that keeps you out of the "the good seats" and watching this amazing wizard of a man RUN back and forth across the stage playing like 20 different instruments while also running turntables. I was in awe. I was in love with his spirit, his talent, his energy, and the music that he produces. A few weeks later I left for my summer in Israel confirmation trip, 5.5 weeks of non stop activity (except on Shabbat). I bought a bootleg copy of Play from a Bedouin (along with Red Hot Chili Peppers and Eminem) and proceeded to listen to Play on my friends discman during every long bus trip for the rest of the trip. I have a very specific memory of listening to Natural Blues as we drove past a horrible car accident on the opposite side of the highway. It was clear that there were casualties and I think of it every time I hear the song. That's a terrible story but...
Anyway, shifting to the good part. I came home and spent the next couple years buying every album of his I could get my hands on. Every time my best friend and I went to the mall, we would to Tower and I would search the shelves for an album I didn't have yet. His music has been a massive part of my life, but all that being said, I've never really heard him speak! Ever since I saw this interview drop last month I've been so looking forward to listening to it (I must listen to them in order, jumping ahead is not an option). I was not at all disappointed. In fact I found him delightful, relatable, incredibly intelligent and interesting, and down to earth in a way that I was not expecting. Thank you for this. It has been a huge gift for me to receive.
I don't process information aurally so I don't listen to podcasts either - so glad I can watch this one
Such a beautifully observed interview that is replete with pathos, humour and a refreshing honesty from the trio of people involved here. The best interviews always leave a trace of feeling like you’re actually sitting in on the process. 🎩
One of my favorite episodes so far!!! I could genuinely listen to this conversation all day, is there an extended version ;)?
Oh no! too short!! can we have 2-3 more hours of this beautifull thing?
I love the longer episodes ❤️❤️
Hi, I'm 46, smoked a lot of pot in my teens, drank on and off, sometimes quite heavily till a couple of days ago, when I blacked out after drinking a 70cl bottle of brandy, and decided enough is enough (for the thousandth time), quit smoking at around 30, did heroin for a few years in my 20's, and dabbled in ecstacy/speed/LSD etc. ... Anyway, it seems amazing to me that Moby started when he was NINE, and has clearly abused himself way more than I have; and here he is, coherent, looking healthy, pretty successful ... Often I'm inclined to lie down, and give up, but Moby is proof that there is hope for us all.
Has anyone asked where Mayim gets her drinks? She's got one in every episode.
I know, I know, there are so many more interesting and profound things to comment on than your blazer is gorgeous, I couldn't stop looking at it, the facets and the color palette is magical.
really amazing episode!!
Hey girl! Glad to see you workin on your new call!!!! Its grand to be working.
Love your podcasts.. Would love to see an episode with Jean Smart..
I cant thank you enough for your talk podcast love love it i find good therapy
I wanted to hear more about Febreze. 😆
My favorite episode by far 💖
Moby was my chill out music all through the late 90s and even into the 00's
EXCELLENT conversation!!!
My husband LOVES Best Fiends! He is on level 1376, and says "look out Kat, you have competition!" I loved this episode, Moby is so real.
I relate with listening to podcasts😆 I'm only interested in the ones you can watch. Really enjoyed the conversation here and hearing about Moby's journey.
Great interview! Thank you!
I'm in Mayim and Moby's club and don't listen or watch podcasts, except for this one) It was interesting as always, though would disagree on people not being connected to the devine. I think we are connected maybe even more than everything else, but we also have the power to control that connection. Another question is why it is so)
I’m in love with this man
Yet another fascinating interview. Well done, everyone!
Fabulous interview!
Wow. I didn’t expect Moby’s story to hit me quite so hard, and I definitely didn’t know I agreed with him on so much stuff!
Plus I gotta say, as an omnivore, I’m embarrassed by my kind that the simple statement that a vegan world would have no pandemics caused such an uproar. Especially by SCIENTISTS, who shouldn’t react defensively to a statement like that. Take a breath, consider the facts, and realize the conclusion is SOUND. I’m sorry they can’t see the forest for the trees.
Beautiful and inspiring.
unrelated to today's episode.. not sure if my preferences matter to you, however: I'd like more and longer Bevisodes; and, I liked a lot the episode (w/Nikki Glaser) you didn't shot in the studio a few months ago, for the freshness it had. I think I can get why you choose to use the present set/studio, multiple cameras/angles and all the work you do to make a well thought and presented 'product', but sincerely you two sitting close to each other without any other cool effect made me enjoy the conversation you had with your guest a lot more! you seemed more relaxed and spontaneous in that setting, I really liked it!! :)
Blown away by this interview. I’m 50 and am embarrassed to say that my biggest Moby reference is Eminem’s lyrical reference. Much thanks
I like watching 🐜 ants. Good little workers! Looking up, I see streams of people, carrying little bags, all filing into hi-rise hills 🤓💡
So interesting!! Love Moby!! Just discovered your pod cast & really love it! Have you thought about having Jim Carrey on your show? His views views on life are so interesting, I think that would be a really amazing show, especially with the down to earth way you interact with your guests. You are a great interviewer!
I agree with Moby. Love him.
Play Moby All Day!! GO!
Moby said what i've been saying for a few years. If everyone would truly be selfish, the world would be a better place. Thusfar everyone has been saying the world would go to hell, if that was the case. But if you really just do what makes you feel TRULY better, you're not going to do the things that make the world worse off.
You are all wonderful! I appreciate you being here! I’ve tried to support your sponsors a few times but the link with your discount has never worked. Any suggestions would be appreciated!
Love you, Moby.
Easily one of my favourite episodes. Such a great guest to have. I remember loving his music in hs.
Your impressed by moby? Does watching paint dry also impress you?
@Lyn Lynnielyn no but see you next tuesdays do. I'm so entertained right now 😁
Amusingly, I know what semiotics are from the Big Bang Theory, when Leonard hangs a tie on his bedroom door ;-) Great episode, thanks!
I feel like I should comment that I don't even know how to find an audio only podcast. I exclusively use UA-cam. I also don't own a TV or watch payed TV on any platform.
This one set a new record for me - I had to pause and investigate three words/phrases
I prefer to watch the podcast to see facial expressions. I do chores while watching.
Moby👁👁I see you!😍
Is there still a “Ask Mayim Anything” submission form? Is this podcast feature discontinued?
I am so enjoying the podcast and from time to time I have questions and/or suggestions for Mayim to look into as I am listening to a podcast. Only to be disappointed because I can’t find it.
Whom Can We Trust If No One Is Trustworthy?
One of my favorite quips from Mark Twain’s The Adventures of Tom Sawyer is when Tom is defined as “a glittering hero…the pet of the old, the envy of the young,” and there were “some that believed that he would be President, yet, if he escaped hanging.” With these few words, Twain captured the essence of leadership in our world. Those who get to the top are the fiercest, most determined, and most ruthless. Today, the latter quality has become so intense that we can no longer believe our leaders, and certainly not trust them to have our best interest in mind.
I am not accusing any leader in particular, or even leaders as a whole. It is simply that in an egoistic world, where people vie to topple one another on their way to the top, the one at the top is clearly the one who trampled over and knocked down more people than anyone else. Concisely, to get to the top in an egoistic world you have to be the biggest egoist.
So how do we know whom to trust? We don’t know and we cannot know. All we know is that we are in the dark.
In a culture of unhinged selfishness, any conspiracy theory seems reasonable, while truth is nowhere to be found. When every person who says or writes something is trying to promote some hidden agenda, you have no way of knowing who is right, what really happened, or if anything happened at all.
The only way to get some clarity in the news and goodwill from our leaders is to say “Enough!” to our current system and build something entirely independent. The guiding principle of such a system should be “information only,” no commentary. Commentary means that information has already been skewed. Information means saying only what happened, as much as possible, not why, and not who is to blame and who we should praise.
Concurrently, we must begin a comprehensive process of self-teaching. We have to know not only what is happening, but why we skew and distort everything. In other words, we have to know about human nature and how it inherently presents matters according to its own subjective view, which caters to one’s own interest. To “clear” ourselves from that deformity, we must learn how to rise above our personal interest and develop an equally favorable attitude toward others. This is our only guarantee that our interpretation of things will be even and correct.
Once we achieve such an attitude, we will discover that the bad things we see in our world reflect our own, internal wickedness. Our ill-will toward others creates a world where ill-will governs, and so the world is filled with wickedness and cruelty. Therefore, all we need in order to create positive leadership-and to generally eliminate ill-will from the world-is to generate goodwill within us. When we nurture goodwill toward others, we will fill the world with goodwill. As a result, the world will fill with kindness and compassion. By changing ourselves, we will create a world that is opposite from the world we have created through our desires to govern, patronize, and often destroy other people.
I watched at Mayim's golden chains throughout the entire podcast. They're dope as f*ck.
One of the heroes in the vegan community 🌱💚
He was a constant drug/alcohol abuser as a child and still looks as young as he does and still has a working, creative mind? Amazing.
As far as radical self-denial and forgiveness goes, has he checked out Buddhism? I think religion = emotion + philosophy but I heard once that there are some who think that the Jesus character spent some of his 'lost years' in the East, studying those religions. I've heard there are books out there about comparitive religion but I can't think of what they're titled.
There is still believe that people never change Hear that alot ,but its simply not true .We do change all the time ,even some people keep on insisting otherwise
Jonathan, my man, i ache for you. I ache for every couple cause that was scary real. I vote for you. I wanted to know about the structure of his movie but I get it...not the point
What the heck is Jonathan talking about…minute mark and 1st act break? I did not understand any of that. Mayim, you were very nice to play along.
I love the show, but I do have to say I find it ironic when people talk about Christians (or other people) being judgmental and then spend the rest of the time talking about how they don't like people and go on an hour long humble brag.
Most of the more severe illnesses happen to people by an upsetting event happening in their lives that takes them by surprise, unexpectedly, impacting first in the brain, then in the corresponding organ which that part of the brain controls. The end of WWI had absolutely everything to do with the Flu and lung TB outbreak that occurred killing millions. In nature, the biological conflict linked with a territorial fear (just what it means-a fear in your territory, your home, your community, etc.) is a widening of the bronchia (tissue loss). Your body attempts to widen your bronchia in order to allow more air into your lungs to give you more strength and energy to fight to keep your territory safe. Stay with me.......The biological conflict linked with a death fright impacts the lungs. The lungs attempt to grow larger in order to allow more air in because breath equals life, as we all know. No breath equals death. Why are so many people across the world suddenly having their appendix removed? The appendix is associated with “being in fear for one’s life”. The HEALING phase is the rupture/inflammation.
While you are in the fear or death fright conflict, you notice no symptoms of “disease”, except you have cold hands, cold feet, you can’t sleep, you awaken at 3 AM every night, you have little appetite. During the war, millions of people were in fear of the bombing of their homes and cities where the war was most active. Fearing for their lives, their loved ones in the war, their ability to survive. The food in the stores was sparse due to shortages. This lasted for 4 long years! The longer the conflict, the worse the healing phase. Within 2 weeks of the German Chancellor announcing the end of WWI, these millions of people ALL went into the healing phase all at the same time. It is during the healing phase that you experience symptoms of illness! What is the healing phase of the bronchia widening? Severe bronchitis, pneumonia. The body attempts to refill this lost tissue and you experience inflammation, fever, coughing, body aches, fatigue, etc. What is the healing phase of the extra lung tissue that grew? Decomposing of the tissue by TB bacteria and fungi. The symptoms of this healing phase are: severe coughing up of blood and tissue, fever, inflammation, severe mucous, body aches, fatigue. During this decomposing of the extra tissue (tumor), the body expels a lot of protein, and without replenishment, severe protein loss can result in death. Antibiotics did not exist yet. If TB bacteria does not exist in a person or they have been vaccinated against TB (big mistake), then the tumor will simply encapsulate and become dormant and not harm you. Who died during the Spanish Flu? Mainly the poor who could not afford to buy meat and proper nourishment, and the people who were directly impacted by the bombings and destruction of their homes.
Millions of people suffered fear and death frights during the fighting of WWI, and millions of people all went into healing at the end of it. Not everyone was affected because not everyone suffered the same way.
It’s not a “flu”, it’s not something you “catch”. It’s biological, meaningful, and unavoidable. One hundred years later, a Fear Campaign begins, using the media to spread it......
I think watching some one speak is allot better then just listen to some one. When you speak you gesture and do facial expressions. That make it allot easier to understand the intent of the words that are spoken. Especially when you are watching a comedy podcast like say Two Bears One Cave or Trash Tuesday you can understand when they are ironic, sarcastic or what ever allot better. This podcast is easier to only listen to as it's mostly only talking about facts in an academic way. But who doesn't want to watch Mayim Bialik? I had such a crush on Blossom when I was around 12, 13.
I watch the podcasts
Looks like he's speaking into a Shure KSM44. Best all around condenser mic for the cost. Can do it all.
Just Commenting for the algorithm 😃
I much prefer watching to listening
Te amo mayim me encanta tu personaje de ami
Jonathan's screenplay game. I totally lost... lol.. I think I have poor concept of time. ;)
Dear friends all metal bands, musicians,talk show guys and other artists should start to promote one world brother and sisterhood messages based on harmony,peace and love philosphy. The mainstrem media,tv shows and other similar instruments that we have also should start to promote the necessity of a new one world view and understanding through manipulation of perception in a good direction.
Dang, girl! I'm just on level 287!
I think Jonathan's right, Moby's life would make a good screenplay.
When is the next Bevisode???
Does Jonathan have nail polish on?
I would love to go to a bible study led by Moby.
Yeah, look good =)
Cult of Selfish vs Cult of Service. This is our divide. 🤔
✨ Agnostic ✨
Great interview, but you missed a major plot point: When does he finally get the girl?
The leader of CBT died recently.... Beck. His daughter is continuing his legacy.
