Part 1 of my conversation with guest Matt Phillion about our narcissistic society. I've also got the Bonehead of the Week and music from JEFF the Brotherhood, Le Butcherettes, Sleater-Kinney and Ty Segall. Show notes: - Narcissism is on the rise - Recent study looks at the Internet "narcissism epidemic" - We are part of the problem - We're more likely to take photos of injustice than actually help out - Matt works from home, posts on Facebook to get social interaction - Some people need to post status updates of their every move - Gay marriage debate has been ubiquitous on social media - Linked In endorsements: What's the point? - Matt's creepy clown photo - Creating a false impression through upbeat self-promotion - Selfies are everywhere - People will do anything to get on TV - Reality TV has never been more popular - MySpace was a mess - Googling yourself is a common activity - Matt's IMDB page - To be continued - Bonehead of the Week Music: Le Butcherettes - Henry Don't Got Love Sleater-Kinney - Jumpers Ty Segall - You're the Doctor Completely Conspicuous is available through the iTunes podcast directory.
