- Thank you for checking out Talk O'Tuesdays with Eric Bass, the bass player and producer of the platinum selling rock band, Shinedown, and John Guarnieri, the host of Spear Talk podcast. This weekly podcast came about after we recorded an episode of Spear Talk one night with Thomas Winterton (the superintendent of Skinwalker Ranch), where at the conclusion of the recording, Eric and I chatted for another 90 minutes about life and everything in between, with a lot of the time dedicated to coming up with a name for the show.
There is no agenda when it comes to Talk O'Tuesdays. We will cover a wide variety of topics to include scientific achievements, exploration, cryptozoology, UFOs, art, creativity, writing, mental health, farming, hiking, and just about everything under the sun. We hope you enjoy this weekly show and hope you get something out of it each week.
* DO YOUR OWN RESEARCH AND READING TOO! We are two people just talking about life and our own personal thoughts in real time. *

Don't be afraid to be the best version of yourself.
Show is edited & produced by Fernando Menotti @nandopicks

I ❤ Listening to these Talk O Tuesday's
And we love you more! Thank you for the support!
Amazing episode and chat! Ty both as always! Have a amazing rest of your day and keep rocking! ❤🤘🏽❤🤘🏽
Thank you for the love and support, Lenora.
Thank u guys for all your creativity and hard work to keep art alive... and others things. Thank u🎉
Thank you for the love and support! We are never stopping!
I remember having tears of gratitude that the worst experiences of my life brought me to my knees but the gratitude came by FINALLY being able to KNOW and FEEL the lifting up by a higher power. My ability to FINALLY let go of the ego that kept me from being humble and vulnerable enough for God to help and love me…it’s just the most amazing journey. Our pain is SUCH a gift. ❤😇
Thank you for sharing that! ❤️
John and Eric,I love this podcast! 2 brilliant minds just talking. Keep it up!❤😊👍👏
Thank you so much for the love and support!
ALWAYS the highlight of the week…such great and fun conversation….with like minded individuals. Thank you for the time and effort you put in for this endeavor. Please consider sharing some links we can check out in the “members only” section that we can watch to research/prepare for the Bigfoot episodes! I love to be prepared to deep dive into your topics! ❤️🙏🏻💯💥🤓 Your faith and art talks are SUCH a refreshing option for those of us sick to death of negativity and politics!☀️
Will do! Great idea! Thank you for the love and support!
Thank you so much for this! I got a chance to talk to Eric briefly a few years ago about mental health and suicide prevention and I have felt a strong connection with him since then. I also recently lost my dad which sent me on a spiral to becoming obsessed with near death experiences and many other things that you all talked about here. It's like so many of my interests have collided lately and makes me feel like I am on the right path to discovering what this "school" as you called it, is all about ❤
Thank you for sharing that, Jessica!
I literally finished listening to this podcast on my drive home from work and got behind an 18 wheeler with "God is Good" with a Cross written in the dirt on the back of the truck! 🤯 Take me to Church! 🙏
Love it! ❤️
I have to add a second comment this week. I love hearing you two talk about faith-- it makes me wish I could sit down and have a conversation with you both🙂. Also, I love to see how Eric's face lights up when he starts talking about things he loves and geeks out about, it's heartwarming to see.
Thank you for the kind words and support!
I LOVE this episode and all of the “woo woo” speak you had…I could literally talk and listen to these topics 24/7…and Eric’s experiences with his depression and how it affects his thoughts and perception of reality is soooo relatable! Again…thank you for sharing your thoughts and experiences fellas…it really does serve a purpose higher than merely entertaining us (which it always does)…it helps some of us feel as if we aren’t so terribly alone in our life experiences and thoughts that feel so different and unrelatable to the mainstream population. #neurodivergentsunite ❤️🙌🏻😇🙏🏻
Thank you for the love and support!
Going to put here also, though it was also in live chat. Need a John and Eric sampler of the SD hot sauces on the next episode!!
HA! Maybe!
All the conversation about art and perfectionism and the process of creating hits home so hard. I often feel the let down of things not being as good when they are done as it was in my head to the point I will for a while not start the next thing because it might not be perfect. It’s a struggle. I like the saying of not writing for trophies. That helps with my perspective taking self-talk. Great conversation!
Also, Eric’s comments about being closer to God in nature reminded me of a book I read a while back called Sacred Pathways by Gary Thomas. He may find it interesting, so I’m throwing out a book recommendation….
Thank you for sharing this! ❤️
And here we are again. Take care Eric. You got this. Before you know it you’ll be playing guitar again. Going strong both of you.
Thank you, Anke, for the love and support!
@@speartalk 🙏🏻❤️🇳🇱
Eric I like where your head’s at with the reality experiences. There’s so much more to where we’re at now.
Right?! Thank you for the love and support!
@@speartalk you’re quite welcome.
Eric, dear, you and I, - I as fan -, look at the SD song from different angles, you are the master BUT the song is made for ME if you think about it. I hear the whole thing. We filter the song through a different filter as a fan, I listen to it primarily through my emotions, and I only break down the song into instruments and details for the umpteenth listening, to my mind. - I feel like you're still 100% authentic if you don't write your personal story, but live your way into my story, like you do now with John's story. Thank you Gentlemen, it was very helpful to listen to you.
Thanks for the love and support!
Hey guys! Great episode but I REALLY want to get into the Bigfoot stuff. Next week, right? When I was young (around 11-12yo), we took a camping trip to Mountain View, Arkansas. My uncles, aunts, cousins - about 10 of us altogether. So many supplies, my uncle stored and hauled the tent/supplies in a cattle trailer behind his truck. We camped way back in the mountains in an area with another group that also had a couple of men. After the first night, we started hearing a large “something” moving and crashing around in the trees about midway up the mountain we were camped at the base of. It had a bellow/scream that it started to make around dusk… and as my aunts and grandmother were cooking dinner over the campfire. The men in our camp (farmers who had hunted their whole lives; and who were familiar with bear, mountain lions and not afraid of any animal) had us all sleep locked inside the cattle trailer rather than the tent.
The next morning, the bellow/scream started again when breakfast started cooking. The two men in our camp went over to the neighboring campers and the men took their guns (‘cause in Arkansas everyone takes a rifle/handguns when you camp) and went up the mountain to search for what it might be. They could hear a large animal crashing around, but never saw what it was. I overheard them telling my aunts that it didn’t sound like a bear and they’d never heard anything that made a noise like this one did. After the men came back down the mountain, my uncle said we were loading up and going home and we never went back to that area again. I’d never seen men look that concerned and “spooked” a little. Once again, these were men who grew up hunting and had guns with them all the time. Whatever it was, it scared us all.
Love it! Thank you for sharing!
Also love the shinedown symptom sauce I bought the 3 pack and you all was nice enough to send a small bottle of hot . It's a really good sauce just a little pricey.
Thanks for the love and support!
Hey Johnny “Lee” that’s not good tea putting Mötley Crüe before Shinedown lol just teasing with you.
When Eric was talking about prayers, being answered differently, reminded me of a couple years ago a tornado came through a small town outside of Nashville & it blew the steeple off & it fell in front of the church sign - The sign read
“Lord give me patience,
and hurry up” 😂
❤️
Depression is the window to reality to the point that we realize how much life is a lie
I try to tell people that my dreams are other world NOT just dreams. They are too real.
Sup guys?!?! 🎉🎉🎉 Happy Talk o Tuesday!!!
Giddy up! Thanks for joining us!
I am one of those people that loses the great writing or idea if I do not do it right then and there but too many life things that get in the way.
and my creative brain does not kick in until 1 am
but that is not good when I have to be up at 9 am and will have a long day
I sometimes wonder if I should give up everything that I have been working for and just do my Writing, arts and crafts stuff now that I have SSI, but not trying to get back to working makes me feel like I am a drain on the world
and $1,202.94 (if I stay a CA resident it goes down to $1,113.00 if I leave CA) is not enough to live on
and Eric is correct when you do not have a full team or any team it is hard.
I had to learn to draw so I could do my own illustration on my kids’ books. I tried to get someone to go 50/50 if they drew the pictures, but no one wanted to
I tried buying all the art supplies (over $300) to another student to do one of my cartoons and that was a ripe off.
I have to pay someone to do spelling and grammar on all my writings and I do not have that and waiting for others to do it for free takes years
I am trying to start my film company as a not for profit so I can apply to grants to do my projects but just starting a company requires money - someone to file out the forms, pay fees
Trying to find a way to do my projects, my medical stuff, education and getting paid jobs are hard to do.
I have a list of side jobs, but they require money to get started
* Drone pilot
- I still need to take the test (school gave money to take the test once) but no time to study and I suck at tests, so I keep talking myself out of it but my deadline to take the test is fast approaching
- but I would still need to come up with equipment - I want the water drone so I can do both underwater and air
* Notary
- my school has uncredited classes that would get me the basic and the one for real state where the money is, but that is around $400 not cover the Fee Wavier (which is what I use to go to this community college)
- and I would have to buy all the supplies
* I also thought of getting my license to teach security and CPR but they both costs money I do not have to just get the license and then also need supplies
Life stands in the way of all things, and you need money to do it all
and if I get my health to under control, I do not mind moving into a van to save money and spend all my money on getting these things done.
But CA just made it a CRIME punishable by imprisonment if you are homeless or sleeping in your vehicle
The choices we make are ours no matter which way we go and sometimes it is better to give up all to get what you want, while other times it is best to suffer through until we are in a place to get what we want
You guys touch on the most important part of following Christ and that's faith in what you can't see, trusting him with whatever is to come and having a relationship with him. Also found the whole outside church thing Interesting especially since in Genesis God walk with Adam outside not in some structure, that's what he wants with everyone.
Thank you for the kind words. ❤️
Sounds like you both need if not a full time, then a part time assistant you can build trust with if not already there, to help take the built-up ‘man hours’ of things like the packing/shipping, basic communications, etc. off your shoulders so you can more focus on creative processes & not be spread too thin.
It’s sooo hard to delicate tho, I have people ask me how they can help & I’m like well, you can’t be in my head do what I do, but here is xyz I can teach you with this part of the biz & you doing this lack of a better term ‘grunt work’ then gives me room to breath & better do the many things I have to do myself or the meat of the things… it took me forever & ultimately stepping in hole while hunting that messed up my ankle for months, forcing me to ask for & accept help in things I wasn’t previously willing to pass off to anyone. I relate to how the struggle is real when it comes to not wanting to give up the control of the things you are passionate about, which is where there building trust & finding a good fit for a dynamic of that type of pairing in an assistant can be no so easy to do. 🖤💜🖤
Thank you for sharing all this Lisa! And thank YOU for your love and support!
@@speartalk anytime & always!
Heck, if the geographical difference wasn’t so big, I would seriously move mountains to be able to toss my resume in the ring for the opportunity to help & learn as a personal assistant for either of you guys!!…I love the behind the scenes workings of things & the knowing how things work to make the big picture come together! My geeky nerd brain thrives in that place…for instance where I work & being a jill-of-all-traits type of employee for a huge festival for the past 16 now going on 17 years, not just seasonal anymore but part of the year-round team now…people have no clue how much goes into making something of that caliber work year after year because they just see & enjoy the end product (as they should), & there is no breaks or months off…plus things like knowing certain things of a hush hush nature & then witnessing the response from the people when the announcements are made or seeing people go wow this is awesome…It’s like, the knowing that my small part in the background of it all helped those who are at the head of it & are the faces of it all become that wow factor for someone else, it has an accomplished good feeling of hey I did something to make others happy, yet at the same time I don’t gotta be the face of it as the person in the lime-light, which is un-cozy for me & is what I have & still struggle with as a creator/maker of my art…I gotta put myself out there & I don’t like that part, it’s a huge price that takes a tole on me everyday…in a way a corporate secretary or being a PA to someone is way easier, even tho it has a-lot of it’s own hard work & can be exhausting more days than not, it still has similar payouts in the artist world of creating big things for others to make memories & find their joy in…it also is but isn’t living vicariously through someone else because, I know also have been in the dirt, shoulder to shoulder behind the scenes, blood sweat & tears with them to pull it off, i know what they have to deal with, & I know what I have done in the process, so at the end of a day I sleep better…anyways, hopefully that makes some sense.
PeaceOut & y’all are both amazing! Keep on creating! I’m here for it!😉 🖤💜🖤
What if the lesson is not faith, but rather the ability to see the beings that we lifted up to be our gods and goddesses are nothing more than our creators or being that happen to have more power than what our ancestors had who lived them to the status of deities?
The life he is describing "Eric is happy to ..." is the robot life that we are told to have and I never could be happy with. My sister is fine living that life and I coudl ever settle fo any job and just be happy.
I was not a child that envisioned getting married or having a family or any of that stuff, although I did see my death and I know that I am of an older generation is my hair was all white unless one day I plan on dying my hair all white.
But I still cannot envision myself getting married or anything occasionally I have fantasies about certain celebrities I lost after but it always ends in tragedy which tells me it is never meant to be other than the forcing it within the dream world.
I could never be following drone, and it sounds like Eric is not neither although he wishes he were.
Anyone who reads poetry is not the type of person who will correct the grammar and punctuation in a poem.
HA! There is always one …
Thank you for the love and support.
