    Aden Debord, 21, and Jim Newman, 73, engage in a philosophical discussion of the benefits of expressing deep emotions quickly and clearly as an aid to communication. Actors, of course, train to display a multitude of emotions with great ease and clarity. Aden suggests that perhaps the average man or woman becomes an actor too, though with the goal of concealing true emotions behind a mask. The two friends agree that, as ironic as that theory is, it's probably true. Aden is facing his senior year at Portland State University. His focus won't be on acting or entertainent but on helping people. Jim and Aden talk about remarkable technologies available to help care givers save lives.

His friend, Jim Newman, 73, is fascinated by the stories Aden tells. Partly because of the chilling nature of the attacks. But also because of the new words emerging in US English to describe such events!

His friend, and co-host, Jim Newman, 73, has never played a video game in his life -- except maybe Donkey Kong, or Pong, when those earlier games were the rage in bars and arcades 40 years ago. Turns out that nowadays veteran gamer Aden, in the guise of his avatar, "Woodsly the Wood Elf," has entered an exponentially more exciting landscape that has riveted him to the screen in recent days. He did it by upgrading his processor a month or two ago!
