Talkin' about the crazy mind trip Bill Murray’s character Phil Connors went through in the classic movie Groundhog day from 1993 directed by Harold Ramis starring Bill Murray and Andie MacDowell. Link to animated video of this episode. http://bit.ly/2SlXFT7 Visit the website for my social media links and follow ongoing posts of smart comedy cartoons, memes, blog, and more! http://mindstretchpodcast.com I’m gonna be talking' about the crazy mind trip Bill Murray’s character Phil Connors went through in the classic movie Groundhog day from 1993 directed by Harold Ramis starring Bill Murray and Andie MacDowell.   This is definitely one of my favorites. Cracks me up and makes ya think.  Bill Murray sure knows how to play a great unjustifiably entitled egocentric narcissist that eventually comes to terms with it and learns how to be a decent human bein. He does that character better than almost anyone. Maybe Will Ferrill, Maybe?  So that bein said. I just want to give y’all a quick Spoiler Alert! If you haven’t seen this movie then just be aware that I’m gonna to be goin through what happens in this flick and talkin about the implications. So I don’t want to ruin it fer ya.  The movie takes place in the state of Pennsylvania in the US of A and Bill Murray’s character Phil Connors is a weather reporter out of Pittsburgh that has to go cover the Groundhog Day festivities in a city he hates called Puxatawny.

Livin' as a Yellow Garden Spider and what it was like for me. Link to animated video of this episode. http://bit.ly/2HSK8Pg Visit the website for my social media links and follow ongoing posts of smart comedy cartoons, memes, blog, and more! http://mindstretchpodcast.com As I look back on this experience, I reckon it makes me appreciate some of the other lives where I get to live a little longer and travel a little more. But this is also one those lives where I get to relax most of the time just waiting for food to catch themselves and I don’t have to hunt all the time just to make it like a lotta other times.  I tell you what, sometimes when you’re starvin and can’t find any food. That’s a tough row to hoe. But there’s no sweet without the sour. Every life teaches us somethin about what it's like to be somethin else. Just a little more perspective so’ans we’re not runnin around like a chicken with its head cut off. I hope you enjoy my tale of livin' as a Yellow Garden Spider and it stretches your mind at least a bit. Just remember, “a mind, once stretched by a new idea, never regains its original shape.” See ya next time. Be sure to subscribe to join in on the MindStretchin’ conversation.

Hi I'm Fletch, talkin' about what I know nothin' about. "MindStretch with Fletch" is a smart cartoon comedy animated web series exploring reality, beliefs, and stretching your mind! Link to animated video of this episode. http://bit.ly/2UypkxA Visit the website for my social media links and follow ongoing posts of smart comedy cartoons, memes, blog, and more! http://mindstretchpodcast.com In this show I’ll be coverin' all kinds of ideas about science, philosophy, spirituality, futurism, music, movies and more.  Now I don’t have all the answers, but I’m full of questions.  I’m gonna be just telling stories, making observations, and sharing adventures that may stretch your mind. Sometimes it’ll make you laugh, it should at the least make ya think. But if yer mind’s all closed up tighter than an ant’s pooper you might just get yer britches all twisted for a spell.  But that’s alright.  The key is to keep learning and thinking.  Never assume that you know everything.  Cause then you’re about useful as a steerin' wheel on a mule.  A great thinker named Socrates was once asked.  What makes you so wise?  And he said, “cause I know that I know nothin”  Now… this obviously wasn’t literally true.  He was talkin' what he knew compared to all the information out there.  And the fact that he really knew nothing.  Only what education, experience and logic had taught him.   So even though I do have a few thoughts about things, I really have only one oar in the water. So no matter what I say do your own research and make up your mind for your own damn self.  I’m just throwing out some ideas trying shake things up. And if you can’t stand the nuclear fusion then get out of the reactor is what I always say. So... thanks for tunin' in and if yer up for it see ya on down the road. --- NOTE: Fletch is a conscious observer that has been around since before time as we know it began. He exists outside of time and space with the ability to observe and interact with other beings along with living as any form of life he wants, whenever he wants, and remembers his experiences.  Although Fletch knows a lot, he does not know everything and with an open mind is constantly seeking to experience and learn more. At this point in history, Fletch is trying to pass on what he's learned over the eons and propose diverse perspectives on ideas to help everyone become more opened minded and in touch with their true self along with how to grow as a civilization.  The ideas presented are not intended to tell you how to think, but rather to give you a diverse perspective on concepts that many times are held to be fact based on your personal education, experience, and beliefs. Our goal is for you to open your mind, do your own research and think for yourself. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/mindstretchpodcast/support
