  Speaker 1: It's the way that podcasting has grown. It's not just
• 0:02
  Speaker 1: about one podcast anymore. Your favorite podcasters are creating networks. Arrow.net
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: is one of those. A-R-R-O-E.net. 21 different podcasts to choose from.
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: One of the best and most favorite ones, Music's Lost History,
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: the artist edition as well as the song edition. See
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: if you can identify the artist or the song before
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: we tell you. It's Music's Lost History, only on Arrow.net,
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: A-R-R-O-E dot net. Enjoy your exploration. It is absolutely an
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: art form. Stream thinking. Learning how to trust what is
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: in your present place of right now, and it does
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: require some practice. I just do one sheet of paper
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: a day, 10 minutes, write about whatever is moving through
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: your present place of right now. It can be upbeat,
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: it can be sad, it can be a vision of
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: the future, maybe even living in the past, even though
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: I would rather you be in the present. The thing is,
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: it's one sheet of paper, just 10 minutes, write about
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: whatever is moving through your present place of now without
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: any type of judgment. Stream Thinking is going to sharpen
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: your skills as a listener, as a communicator, and as
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: an activator. It's learning how to trust what is in
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: your right now. This is Stream Thinking. Today we're reading
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: from December 27th, 2025. I struggle with this desire to
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: endlessly show prep. I mean, I show prep everything. to
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: be ready, to be informed, aware of who, what, where, why, when,
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: and how. So many around me don't see eye to
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: eye with my 47 years of carefully sculpted driving to
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: always be hooked up to a creative lifeline. To prepare
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: or not to prepare is a digital world that clearly
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: states that podcasting is spoken, not read. You know, spontaneity, curiosity,
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: awareness with a willingness to pick yourself up when improv
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: has let you down. Show prep versus shooting from the hip.
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: As one man recently said to me, this talk we're
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: having right now, did you prep out every single question? Wow. Really? Hmm.
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: Is there anything wrong with sleeping next to a net?
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: Because don't we want to have a net if we fall? Oh,
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: I've been in those interviews where the people have called
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: me out. They've said, we're not doing a documentary. This
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: is a movie. Or how about this? You didn't even
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: listen to the CD, did you? Why are we even
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: talking about this if you didn't even listen to it? Oh,
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: I've been called out, which is the reason why when
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: it comes to show prep, it is weeks in advance.
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: And like I said at the very beginning here, December 27th, 2025.
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: How much am I addicted to show prep? Today's date
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: is November 9th. november 2026 you see what i mean
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: december 27 2025 today is november 9th 2026 now i
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: just recently did a report about improv and ad lib
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: is there a comparison between the two are they one
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: in the same they are not ad lib is taking
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: a subject that has been written out and making it
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: your own Whereas improv, you're doing that. It's right in
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: the moment of everything right now, which I love because
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: I'm talking about stream thinking. It is in your present
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: place of right now. But to get there in a
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: moment of improv, and Lord knows I see a lot
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: of bad improv because of the way that you're speaking.
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: The pace is off. You're speaking out of tune. And really,
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: you're repeating everything that I just said. It's there. But
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: you can strengthen that up. By stream thinking, by allowing
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: yourself to write whatever is in your present place of
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: right now. Now, it's not ad lib because it hasn't
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: been written yet. So therefore, the improv, it's in you,
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: it's in all of us. The question is, can you
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: sleep next to Annette? Or does it always have to
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: be off the hip? I'm Errol, and that's stream thinking.
