The Bacon Show: Recent Episodes
The Bacon Show
Just a couple of dudes talking about things that nobody asked them to talk about. From the intelligence of cuttlefish to NFTs, we cover all of the random things we want to talk about.
We talk about work travel vs traveling for leisure. Stephan's recent road trip and a couple stories from Mike's travels in Africa and Haiti.
Some technical difficulties this week so you're getting the straight Zoom recording.
Today we talk about a whole host of things from cameras and gear, to NFTs and Tim Tebow!
The Canon 800mm F11 lens on the Canon R5 to photograph animals. It turns out they don’t just come walking out of the woods and pose for photos. Who knew? You have to camp out, setup, get in a hide and wait for that perfect shot (from a camera).
Squirrels, they’re crazy this time of year eating fruit straight from the tree, getting kicked by joggers, fighting amongst themselves and running up the legs of bicyclists while they are bicycling.
Crypto currency and Cardano, we don’t really understand it.
NFTs! Mike has minted an NFT. We talk about that process and you can check out Mike’s NFT and even buy it for yourself here: https://bit.ly/3yCGjni
Camera bags, we’re always looking for the best one! Stephan just got a Peak Designs Everyday Backpack Version 2. It’s a side access bag which seems great for photographers but maybe not so great if you’re shooting video.
Panasonic’s big announcement this week. Is it a GH5ii or a GH6 or both?
For our news segment we cover a tragic story of a man having the wrong leg amputated at a hospital.
Of course no hodgepodge, grab bag of a show would be complete without talking about Tim Tebow signing as a tight end with the Jacksonville Jaguars!
We talk more about Florida, if that's even possible! What if Disney World never came to Orlando, and more about the Canon R5.
Today we talk all about Florida. What we like what about it, what we don't like about it and what we really don't like about it. We cover nature, springs, alligators, snakes, Disney World, Universal, theme parks, tech jobs, film jobs.
We keep talking politics! Why do people think their rights include infringing on other peoples rights? Vaccination passports, what’s the big deal? Why do Republicans think local governments should be powerless but big business shouldn’t? Maybe it’s all just pay to play in the world of Florida politics.
The Republican Party, we don’t understand it. Why is the right trying to make it harder to vote, taking away power from local government and moving so far away from a conservative agenda. We compare COVID numbers in Florida to Australia (SPOILER ALERT: the numbers aren’t good for Florida). Can the United States of America keep up with the rest of the world when our politics seem to be in such disarray? We try to tackle this and more in our first foray into the world of politics.
In this episode we talk about Yuval Noah Harari’s book Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind and how stories have shaped humans. We also touch briefly on the why you don’t want to be on Mars when Jesus returns, clean coal, Jerry Seinfeld and bees, Leni Riefenstahl, teleporters and flying cars. You don’t want to miss this one! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1GnBamLaqqE
Both of us, unfortunately, have some serious experience with vestibular disorders. In this episode we talk all about what it’s like to have a vestibular disorder, how ours started, our treatment, vestibular rehab and how we’re doing today. SPOILER ALERT: Vestibular disorders come with a free side of anxiety. Yay!
BONUS: Mike made a short film about how running helps with his vestibular disorder and it’s in this episode. You can watch it here: https://vimeo.com/441806771
If you have a vestibular disorder and are looking for some help we suggest starting with VEDA at vestibular.org
We talk about cameras (Canon and Panasonic) and lenses (EF, RF and retro FD) for video and photography, DJI drones and microphones (Rode, Sanken, Zoom and Audix).
We talk about life as freelancers. The ups and down, the ins and outs and everything in between!
We got our first vaccine shots! We talk about that plus some second thoughts we have no free will. Also, what we think is difficult about podcasting now that we're an whole 5 episodes in, plus a little about working for ourselves. Help us come up with a better name for our podcast! Comment below. Thanks for listening!
Free will is it a thing? Is it real or just an illusion? We talk about all this and more! DISCLAIMER: We are not scientists, philosophers or theologians so maybe we shouldn’t even be trying to tackle a subject like this, or maybe we should. Do we have anything right or everything wrong?
This is a serious one! Stephan and Mike talk about the relationship between science and faith and their personal journey. Plus Dan Marino on a Wheeties box and if you listen long enough we even talk about the Sundance Film Festival for a second or two.
Wabi-sabi, building houses, schedules for creative people and Stephan and Mike even talk a little bit about themselves!
