Why Small Moments Hit Harder Than Ever Artwork

The Seven Five - Part 2

Sh*t I ramble about, like music, technology, women, MMA, women's basketball, cartoons, digital forensics, government, military, law enforcement, pretty much all first responder topics, 3D, Pepper's Ghost, and some other stuff, I think.

I know a bit about technology. Teaching. Building networks. Infrastructure. Libraries. Other stuff. Answered the phone a lot for free, in the middle of the night, helped some folks. For more on my background, visit https://digital4ensics.com

Anyway, should be interesting. Hope you'll hop on board. Keep being great & doing great things!

Why Small Moments Hit Harder Than Ever

January 01, 2026 • O. Kenobi • Season 1 • Episode 36

Originally released August, 2020

We trace how joy can crack us open, from crying at commercials to smiling through Night Moves. We swap the old rule of bottling feelings for naming them, and we invite listeners to share, support, and keep the music close.

• crying at happy moments and why it happens
• how music and memory trigger strong feelings
• the cost of bottling emotions and better self-talk
• reframing tears as data and direction
• gratitude for artists and community support

Be great and do great things, my friends

You know how emotional I've always been, like, but but holy shit, dude. I mean, I'm like crying at the fucking drop of a hat on happy shit. Not not in just saying at the fucking happy shit. I'm crying I literally commercials, fucking all this, you know. This morning it was Bob Seeger's night moves. I'm like smiling and crying.

Oh man, that guy should be president, man. He should have ruled that character if that character was a real person.

And you just don't get it, you keep you go pathetic, and you learn to accept it, you know. You're so pathetic, and you just don't get it, you keep you so pathetic, and you learn to accept it, you know. You're so pathetic and you know.
