Oh man, this bonus episode is something special. We recorded one of our phone calls. Believe it or not, these kind of chaotic conversations, actually inspired American Groove. It’s raw, unfiltered, and full of the weird stuff we usually brainstorm off the record. Think bacon cooking experiments with clothing irons, and ranting about work. Somehow landing on why stoner-friendly candles are a must.

It’s basically the blueprint of our groove, just us. Vibing, laughing, and getting way too deep about random things. If you’ve ever wondered what our brainstorming sounds like. Obviously when no one’s “officially” listening, this is it. Oh, and quick plug please check out: https://www.velvetearthshop.com/

In this episode, we dive into the fascinating life, and pursuits of Bert terHart. A self-described "soldier, sailor, scientist, adventurer, and serial entrepreneur." Bert shares his journey from a childhood spent on the prairies of Canada. To becoming an internationally recognized explorer, and advocate for the oceans. Despite being colorblind. Bert’s lifelong passion for the sea and history shines through in his stories. From sailing solo around the globe, to traversing Canada by foot and canoe. His experiences underscore humanity’s adaptability, and the importance of preserving our planet.

We also explore the intersections of science, artificial intelligence, and the natural world. Bert’s insights into the deep ocean, and the adaptability of Indigenous peoples. How the ethical dilemmas surrounding AI, may offer a thought-provoking look. At possibly our relationship with the unknown. Leaving you pondering the boundless possibilities of human innovation. What lessons we can learn from the planet, and each other.

We take a wild ride through the quirky corners of life. Starting with stoner cleaning rituals of course. The philosophy of multitasking while high is fascinating. Ever wonder how music like “Because I Got High” defines a generation? We went there. From the zen of stress balls to the art of juggling ridiculous deadlines. We explored how stoned minds can find some comfort.

Then things a got random as fuck. Christmas rubber ducks, and overpriced milkshakes. A passionate debate over Shake Shack versus homemade onion rings; real people problems. Toss in a dash of Target shopping adventures, and a sprinkle of workplace chaos. You've got the perfect blend of absurdity and real-life dilemmas. Finding the balance of I was at work, but then I got high. If you known what I mean, than you know, you know?
