#409 The Creative Genius of Rick Rubin

The first thing I would show players at our initial day of training was how to take a little extra time putting on their shoes and socks. Properly. The most important part of your equipment. Is your shoes and socks.

You play on a hard floor. So you must have shoes that fit right. And you must not permit your socks to have wrinkles around the little toe. Where you generally get blisters. Or around the heels.

I showed my players how I wanted them to do it. Hold up the sock. Work it around the little toe area and the heel area so that there are no wrinkles. Smooth it out good. Then hold up the sock.

We already have this episode, so unlocking it is cheap and permanent: the full transcript, segment and word-level timestamps, and .txt, .srt, .vtt and word-level JSON downloads, as many times as you like, forever.

No account needed, we create one from your checkout email. With credits it is 1 credit; packs start at 5 episodes for $3.49, and monthly plans are cheaper still.
