S01E168: Buddha Left The Paywalled Garden

The answer is beyond. Bullysteed, the exorcist, is probably one of the best horror books I have ever read. A book. Oh yeah. It's a very spooky book. Very spooky. I've never read the book. I didn't even know there was a book. Now I've got to read it. You should? With high praise for me. Yes. I mean, I like to read, but I like to read that one a lot. I like to go into the bathroom and read. Sometimes I read four or five times a day. You know what else you find in the bathroom? Me reading.

A mirror. Look at the mirror. What do you see? A baggy. Oh my. Is that Mary Kate? No. No. No. Wow. I'm really running this. Truly, right. Truly, right. Do we want to give us a screen mail? And if you have anything you want to weigh in there again, that's six one two two six three seven nine nine nine. Is it that time?

It could be. You want a you want a screen mail? A little bit. A little taste. Oh, okay. Let me. I just want to taste. Let me. You can be back next week. Yeah, let me. I got some new transition music. Let's. We've died this fire on down. Yeah. We'll just pretend this is a fire extinguisher. You pay me enough. I'll pretend to do it. I'm going to do it here with the fuck you want. Well, since you're offering. Okay. You got a good show. Appreciate what you did. Nice. Good. Scream.

Yeah. That was a good one. That was a. That was a fucking good scream color. Hell yeah. That's why we like the screen mail line. That's what it's for. Uh, six one, two, two, six, three, seven, nine, nine, nine. And I'm not going to play the next one because if I did that, we're not going to have any other scream else when we come back from intermission. We're going to let this one age in the barrel. It'll be so fine in the barrel. That's right. Bottleed. I was going to the far, the mountain.

Um, well, she it. Are we at intermission already? I know. I know. I know. Just a little light reading for first act, but I'm sure they will have some delicious material to chew on for the second act. Oh, yeah. I got some fun stuff here. Um, we got, uh, I got some stuff about the Guar concert. I got some Guar news. Then I got some news at a Kenya. If you can believe it. Kenya news. Kenya news. I know it's not even my beat, but here we are, man. I do like Kenya. I like to go someday.

I think it would be nice. I think it really would be nice. Uh, for tonight's intermission, we got a couple of boostable tracks coming up to you. Uh, first off is going to be Dickie to turn with the song Betcha can't. And then we got Mr. Information with in search of sass. Uh, in search of sass. Watch and then wrapping us up is homeless Moses with the song Malin Kiemune. Do you know what a Malin Kies? Uh, I can't say it on air. So I'll just say no. Perfect. Are we right back?

Use the suns against. I can't believe it. I can't believe it. I can't believe it. I can't believe it. I can't believe it. I can't believe it. I can't believe it. I can't believe it.

Tonight, the hunt for the world's missing ape man. In the wild, tracks of the Pacific Northwest of America, men are now out to try to kill the ape man. Indeed, is this uniquely film of Bigfoot, the Yeti of the United States? It may seem incredible that creatures like large mannates can sit exist in the modern world. We're looking old. I guess doing all those movies without me took a toll. If I had known that I had to toss your salad to be in another one, I would.

Rob Schneider didn't send me the memo. I think Price is right as on how we can watch that. I think we can do walk a walk a woo voice, like a desperate idiot. Good to be nice. Oh, no. I can't let you die on me. I'm sorry. Come back and let me finish your ass.

I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I'm sorry. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Thank you everyone for all of this things. Well. We also get right all the way down. Oh. Make sure that it, if by Syriott could! Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. This is when I did the show art for him. And there's two tracks on it. I'm thinking what they're called. One of them is called Tax Me. The other ones don't waste your time. And if I'm not mistaken, I think this is Malachi on every track. I think this is a totally solo production that he did. Nice. Very talented man.

I would like to record a song with that dude sometime. I think that would be a lot of fun. I'm looking forward to listening to this. I haven't had time to listen to it yet. I'm going to listen to it probably after the show. Hell yeah. Cool. Well, good for you Malachi. You know, we support multi-instrumentalists around here. This is very accurate. I also had one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine. And I'm looking at my text messages and I didn't get a chance to add them.

But that makes 10 or 11. We had 11 individual pieces of show art. Come in for Make Heroism. That's a Polish doesn't. Thank you so much Make Heroism for the 11 pieces of art. You're a talented man. And... And a fantastic one. He sent a USB stick to my house. And to my house. What? Oh yeah, did I not tell you I got one too? No. Yes indeed. Make Heroism and Marikate Ultras sent me as well a... a San disc, a USB 3.0 stick.

Cool. And it is packed to the gills with all kinds of fun sound effects and noises and things. Oh yeah. I mean I didn't get a chance to go through it all but God damn. There's a lot here to poke through. Yeah it's pretty beefy. That was called Sauton or the Swarm. Ooh there's the bees. The bees! Not the bees! Go to hell on the bees! God. What is that? What is that? Not the bees! Not the bees! Oh! Not the bees! I love my eyes! I love my eyes! I love my eyes! I love my eyes!

When people ask me what I think Nick Kade's finest moment was, I always say without hesitation, Doblo-Loggo-Blogger, my eyes. Well yeah. Or the greatest lion's ever in cinema. From the Wicker Man. Yeah. The repeat. Doblo-Blogger, my eyes. Buh-Buh-Bidoo. Dinosaur design. Cool. Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, ohARS. Spancy wanted to zap the Gimp. Wow. Look that Gimp. Gimp had a coming. He wants it. He begs for it.

He's like, can I please? Pretty pretty, pretty please. Have some of that. And we're like, well, you're dressed like a Gimp. So yeah. Yeah. Yeah. You know, don't you dress like you're asking for it. Gimp. Yes. Hey Gimp, you should smile more. How can he smile with his zipper mouth? Smiles with his fucking eyes, Buh-Berry. He's something. He's looking at me like something, all right. I want, I want nothing but pure joy peeping out of that leather chassis. A leather chassis.

Pretty good band name right there. The other chassis. Should I add it to the list? Ah, if you want. It's, it's, I will. It's pretty good. It's pretty good. It's okay. It's going on to the ever increasing band name's list. That's. So, and we, I did include the Super Gel, little ISO that you were listening to an intermission also came from, make heroism. So thank you very much for that. Yeah. Yeah, this is wonderful.

Once I get the capability to play my own clips, which I basically have now, I'm going to, this will be part of the bedrock. Mm-hmm. Thank you. Um, we also had two anonymous submissions for some MK.Spook.Social short, which Spook.Social has risen. So thank you for those. I really appreciate that. It's alive. It's alive. She's alive. It's alive. It's alive. It's alive. Do I still have that? Oh, yes. Yes. Yes. Oh! Leel!

Nice. Um, so thank you very much, everybody, for your continued support, and it just makes it an absolute joy to come back every Monday after Monday after Monday. Na. Oh, my. Slap and then slap again.

Uh, we do have some booster grams to get into as well. Of course. Uh, let's see here. I'm going to get a figure out where we were going all the way back down. Um, let's see here. Trying to see. Because I knew that I boosted it some, ah, here we go. 66, 66, for me, that was the last one. And then right after that, it wasn't us that got boosted, but the death of rock and roll from Pete Lee got boosted 10,000 sats by Adam Curry saying welcome to the future of rock and roll.

Hmm. Well, thanks, Adam Curry, for your sats. That's fun. I like that a lot. I like that. I like that. Oh, I like that. Oh, I like that. Um, and then we had 33, 33 from the Baron of Rotterdam, boosted episode 167, Crow Energy. Hmm, the Baron, Baron of Rotterdam. It briefly hit me up about getting a music podcast set up. And I think you pretty much every got everything squared away by the time I had, uh, got around to answers his questions. So definitely be keeping an eye out for that one.

I think it's called me, mutton music or mutton or music, mutton and meat. I think is what it's called. Okay. Okay. I like that. I like that. We had 33, 33 from Fletcher through Fountain, boosted episode 167, say an ISM. Are you lit? Uh, in some morning. I was thinking ism. Ism islam. Wow. Yeah, I like that. So you forgot the J. Uh, jizzam. Jizzam. Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow. You're at great for that. I read it for this. Bam, bam, bam, bam, bam. Jizzam. Uh, we got a couple of anonymous boosts. Oh, shit.

Speak of the devil. Black cat music podcast. Uh, I guess they played one of the tracks that were host. I'm not sure which one, but whichever track it was, they sent a thousand sats and then a thousand sats for, uh, death of rock and roll. I like a lot from anonymous. And then we had three 100 sat boosts from anonymous. Um, they were two of those were boosting the before the schemes for August 21st and then the other hundred sats is for 167 all through podverse.

Nice. Uh, we had 4,000 sats from anonymous. Through podverse saying are rotten eighth graders. The reason sixth grade is a definitive milestone of suck for so many people's childhoods. They turned the teachers into pricks. Hello. Oh, God. Yes. Indeed. Those poor green teachers go in as unpolished coal lumps of coal and they come out hard in diamonds. It's, uh, that eighth grade man for the seventh grade. I don't know. It's a toss up for me. Middle school, dude, sixth, eighth grade.

It's just a fucking nightmare. Yeah. A bunch of underdeveloped, overdeveloped weirdos. I don't mean me. A man that was a weird fucking time in my life. I can only imagine it's even weirder these days. Yeah. Even fucking weirder. I'll go ahead and say it was my lowest. I was. Yeah. Yeah. Sixth grade, my absolute lowest. I definitely had a hard time as well. Very hard time. I was the type of, I was the type of kid in, uh, in public school.

They're like, oh, yeah, he's going to be the school shooter. And I was like, wow, who says that to people? Oh, God. Yeah. And now you just shoot them with knowledge. Yeah. This is true. Um, where, oh, I lost my page. Where did I go? Where am I? We had 111,000 sets from Dame Delorean. She was boosting through Founcin, the Boost Amal, which is, uh, the really hell-a-amazing, uh, Pokemon parody track that, uh, I want to boost the fear with best. Ah. No one ever was. It's a bit, bit, bit.

BAM, BAM, BAM, BAM. Uh, and she says, I choose you. Oh, yeah. We're very lucky. Thank you, Delorean. It's a sweet. We just got to catch them all. Cash, what a babe. Uh, we had, speaking of babes, 50,000 sets from P-tar through Founcin, saying the podcasting genius, which is, uh, a private browsing was a pleasure on my earholes. Crushed in best guest host ever. Oh, thanks, P-tar. That's very kind. Nice. Make sure private browsing is in the chat. It's been related to her. That's great.

Yeah. Well, thank you, P-tar. That's very, very kind. P-tar, of course, being the, uh, the goblin of goats. Mm-hmm. He's like, he's like Sasquatch and Chubacabra and the Boogeyman all rolled up in one goat package. Uh, we had 333 from Tony G, 51, 53 Founcin, saying as long as it's rock, as long as it's roll, I love the lack of communication by rat intro, bro. Oh, it rhymes. I believe that was in reference to the tempest song that you use in intermission as long as it's rock. Oh, okay.

Okay. Yeah. Uh, a thousand sets. Tempest, by the way, is a well-known group and I got some feedback that the people were surprised that they had some value for value music out there. Oh, nice. That's fun. Assuming this is the right tempest band they're talking about. So somebody brought them up as if they were like an old standard from the 90s. Hmm. Not really. I think they probably disbanded in like mid to late 80s. Oh, so they're even earlier than that. Okay. Yeah. Sorry.

Yeah, they're like a classic rock band. So it's very cool that their music's up there and out there. Yep. Uh, and if actually if you want to hear some stories about the days of tempest, you can go and listen to the episode where spaz joined us. We did a whole long conversation about West Virginia and playing music and all that stuff. Um, the number escapes me, but the episode was titled that holler over yonder. And do you know what?

Uh, we had a thousand sats from C Brooklyn 112 boosted the boost them all tracks saying boost them. Boost them. And then Sir Spencer followed it up with 69 69 for the same song saying boost a gram. Boost a gram. Uh, and then we have from tonight 66 66 from Mary Kate Ultra through Fountain Sank. Remember store dot BTS dot LOL the rate the sale rages on 13 dollar T's plus up to 30% off everything else. Grab a T support these young lads. Oh, thank you Mary Kate Ultra. That's right.

I need to get more BTS shirts. I don't have nearly enough shirts. Not nearly enough. Damn it.

What I really need are some hoodies and some zippups. Yeah. That would be the tits. A lot tits. Let it wherever you see, wherever you see this hoodie, you'll see tits. Just for this day, just for you, let it. Uh, what are we going to say? Uh, I don't speak that language. So no, okay. I don't think anybody does. So don't worry about it. Uh, we had 33. I'm sorry. 33 from Nanomoto Bustin. Through. What is that all about? Uh, Buster Graham ball episode six, Rock and Roll.

I'm guessing that was for the Peeley track. Sweet. I wish hella had would let me know what the song is. I need to know. Oh yeah, the deets. Why won't you tell me the deets? We had 123, 4 from Bullies team. She's boosting the live item through, fountain saying dirty riff boost. Dirty riff boost. Dambi. And then she followed it up with the 1680 through fountain saying hard eyes, a hard eyes episode art. Uh, well, thank you. That was a fun one. It is. It's some sexy show art.

If she's referencing this week's show, right? I believe so. It's a nice son spot or not a son spot. What what is that called? The son? Yeah, but the the event that's had a solar flare, a solar flare. That's right. Sorry, I just had my headphones fall off my head. It's fucking stupid. I can throw those things at the window. Fucking. I think sucks. We had 69, 69 from Delorean. Boosts in last week's episode saying, Boop, boop, boop, boop, boop, boop. I can't do it nearly as well.

Boop, boop, boop, boop, boop. I can't either, but thank you. And I want to default to the Power Rangers, uh, text alerts from the, yeah, that one. Yeah, that would be pretty good boost. I so that would be we got it. We got to up our mighty morph and power Rangers references. Mm-hmm. I'm okay with that. Uh, what else do we got here? Sorry. I just, I had the type in Power Rangers and Macedon. Blackstone. Um, what do we got here?

10,000 sats from NetNet through Fountain saying, I sound a lot skinnier when I leave voice bells. Oh well, bring on the goats. Should we give them a goat? Yeah. I mean, he, he overspent on the goat. Uh, uh, uh, you know, you're skinnier than you look. Do you have any, do you have any preference for, um, all you know what? I'm, I'm filling a shotty. Mm-hmm. You never get bored of hearing it. It's so satisfying to gun them down. Yeah, try putting a bandit on that be itch.

Uh, someone else in desperate need of band aids is, of course, the Gimp, because Bully seeds coming in for 88, 88 saying light the Gimp. Mm, let him up. Lot of mop pop pop, plop plop plop plop. Yeah, boo, boo, boo. Oh, you boo, boo. Oh, boo, boo, boo. Oh, uh, oh, gimpin. Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh, that was a fresh goat slaughter there. Uh, from the Clip Cassotean through Fountain. I'm sorry, that's not Fountain. Curio Caster. Stupid stolen valor, bro.

Uh, Clip Cassotean, yeah, thank you so much. 66, 66 sets, which is all you need to send into here. This sweet lamentations of a goat being mercilessly shuffled to another mortal coy. Well, yeah, it's kind of like an expedited process. Mm-hmm. It's a fast track, if you will. Uh, what else? What else? It ends this journey and begins anew. Uh, we had the 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, from the Clip Cassotean, letting us know he's a good boy through Curio Caster. And then 88, 88 from Sir Spencer through Podverse.

And he said, I just published an RSS feed template to help musicians self-published value for value music. I plan on recording some instructional videos to walk through the entire process over the next couple of weeks. For a link to the template, you can check out my pinned post over at Sir Spencer at podcastindex.social. That's Sir Spencer at podcastindex.social. If you tell me you're quote, not technical enough, unquote, to self-publish, I will zap you like I zap that gimp just now.

Usually you got to pay double for that kind of action cut. Yeah. Um, well that's exciting. But Sir Spencer, how do I get back into the walled garden? I don't want to minnigate over my own stuff, man. I want to get paid 90%. Yeah, my diddy told me it's scary out there. Oh, self-sovereign. Well, I guess that's a little bit of an oxymoron. Um, loops. So I don't even know what I'm talking about. Well, all I know is the Buddha left his pay walled garden and went out. Yeah. Yeah. Hold on.

Let me grab my pen. You leave the garden. Uh, I think that catches us up on all of our booster grams. If you want to participate, all you need is a nude podcast app and some tochies. And when you boost this show, you're not only boosting both lavish and myself, you're boosting people like cotton gin, you're boosting people like servo, you're boosting people like void zero, insert bemeros, you're boosting the people that make this production, this caliber, this caliber production possible.

It takes a village and we don't have a building full of overpaid, underpaid I should say interns. We have a team of creative minds that are working to accomplish a beautifully sublime goal. If you want to get on it, you'd be missing out, son. If you didn't, you should come check us out. Um, yeah, it's a, it's a very legitimizing feeling, knowing that we're able to pull this type of shenanigans off. Yeah. Uh oh. Is that Pete's art? Well? So let's hit some of the rock. Take the cold off.

Damn, at least the blood is red, because everything's red. Some of them get guts spill out and it's amazing. You can't lose you that. The way the bodies fall in the bloody piles is priceless. You never get to hear it here yet. It's so soft, body will come down. Yeah. Bring your daughter to the slaughter. I'm, I'm just so grateful that, hey, we've gotten really good about labeling all of our shit and B for void tools, everything. Being able to find the power rangers theme song on the fly.

Yeah, that was very impressive. I ask and I receive. I'll tell you around here. And how many was that? One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, eleven, twelve of regular people's dozen. Nice. Hell yes. Oh yes. Thank you, Pete's art. You have said things right again. Come on, grab your kids. Come to the... That was lit. Chef Brilliant. Yeah, twelve goods that will not be worried about things tomorrow. Mm-hmm. Nope. I think I...

Realistically, realistically, I think we should just start considering them liberated. So, you know, we're just... We're just freeing them. On your way, little guy. That's sweet goat release. Oh boy. Awesome. It's a good time. It's a great time. Scream it. Want a slaughter or good? It's sort of good. You just get a podcast and two point of it. Well, uh... We might even put some background music for your slaughter. At that service. Yes. We do what we can here. We do what we can.

All right, here is a screamo. Wow, hello. Wow, hello. Hello there. How's the Labor Day gone? Well, you know, great. It's a Monday. Coo-coo-coo. Great. Uh... Pretty good. Why can't I go home out with my mom some today since we have the day off. And uh... To grab the coffee and whatnot. Cause it's been a while since we had to hang out with just turf, so that was fun. Uh... Yeah. I don't know why, but just random. I thought it'd be funny, like... Well, not funny, but...

Cause recently I saw one of those, like, fields where they like... Like, like, rent goes through however that works and they... Have them out there kind of like, mowing that area for like, you know, keep just keep the weeds down, touch fire, how's it going? Yeah, yeah. Like, man, she's just have like a... Like a behind the scheme to go service or something like that. Yes. Absolutely.

So, anyway, we're trying to put, I don't know, rogue stickers up there, like, advertising behind the schemes on the... on the fence, on the elected little electrical fence that they have to keep the goats in their area. Non-cohesive thought. There it is. Anywho. Levasch. Yo. Move very mouth man, the apocalyptic folding... stool. Moth man. I hope you guys are having a... Excellent day. It's for my screen going to be a repeat screen. Because, like, I was gone for a week on VK with a wife vacation.

Don't need to shorten everything. And uh, and whatnot. And... With Disney Land and Camping and whatnot. So, it got really, really behind like a whole week. Since all I ever do was listen to podcasts that work like a whole week. About stuff. And then you get a day off and then there's children podcasts almost everybody in all of the... All of the... All of the... Number last. Like you heard your folks. And you gotta try to catch up on them, man.

So, you just get behind and you just open up the thing and like, man, we're... We're not gonna be able to listen to like August 25th. 24th. I don't even know anymore. I'm... WAAAAAAA! But I want to listen them all, you know? Because they love you guys. And all the other people in some of the podcasts, I don't like Kate listen to or whatever, but, you know, different story. So, anyway, that'll be my screen.

So, let me guys, that anger stand up, you know, whether or not you're around uh, flack of geese or you're in a rose garden or you're none of those. Go ahead and give a hearty. TAKA! TAKA! Push, con, push. And came back. Wow. That was fantastic. Nice. That was, that was quite a scream. Well, thank you for calling, Cacala. I don't know very much appreciate it. Uh, yeah. Got to get that lead out, you know? What day is it? We don't know. Uh, we work on holidays? Yes, we do.

Uh, and turns out a lot of holidays fall on Monday, but then again, so does behind the schemes. So, That's uh, yeah. This is a Labor Day special episode. I don't think we mentioned that once. Yeah, it is Labor Day. It's a national holiday. And we don't take breaks, man. We're there just about every damn week. I don't know. At least one of us. Yeah, I don't know if we've missed a. Shit, I, there was like one episode. I just, I could not muster the get up and go get it. Energy required.

And, but that was a long while ago. I, I have to, I'm going to say that since I've been on the show, I don't think we've missed a single Monday. I can't, let's see. Because I know, I know the one missing week is as old as the hole in the wall that I punched. So, whatever that happens. Hmm. It's a long time ago, years ago. Years. It probably was a years plural. Yeah, I love being able to say that now. Yeah, it's, it's good. It's surreal, man. It's surreal. Oh, we did that years ago. Years ago.

Wow. Wow. Yeah, this is going to be a great string of occurrences today is Labor Day. And guess what next week's show happens to fall on? 9-11. Yeah, baby. I was actually talking to someone today and was, and he said, Oh, I do have a fun announcement, but I was telling him about, he was asking about a, a, a, a guest that we have coming on here soon. He was like, you all got him for 9-11. And I was like, no, 9-11. That's a show holiday.

And he's a stage and he's like, well, isn't today technically a holiday for you too? I was like, oh, yeah. If you think that Labor Day is more important than 9-11, you're, you're wrong. It's a toss up. 9-11 is an international holiday. Yeah, no doubt. New doubts. Yeah, that, that'll be special just for us. And you better believe there will be some juicy 9-11 themed material going on. Why wouldn't we? I was thinking about it. I might, I might end up surverting it. Who knows, man?

You can survert, feel free to survert. Yeah, you never know one of them. You never know what I'm going to pull off. I might, I might say, let's play some super bummer. Man, 9-11 edition. Yeah, we're going to play chess. Yes. But instead of having all the pieces, we'll just each play two rooks. Let's see who wins. Yeah, there we go. I like that. All rooks. All rooks. This time the towers do the killing. Wait. Hold on. Can I get a sensor? Yes, yes you can. Thank you.

I'm just going to stream Oregon Trail. You know, they got the new Oregon Trail out. Just playing it. Pretty fucking fine. I've never played the original. You never played the original Oregon Trail. Mm-hmm. Oh my goodness. I know, I suck. You have dysentery. Well, I mean, come on man. Come on. I will. Always have. That's my secret Captain America. Have you seen the bags on your mask? Well, I just figured that was the cigarettes, but oh yeah, it's possible.

I'm down to crush the bomber man anytime. Well, I'm going to leave the last screen though. You still got plenty of time. 612-263-799. Call us up and leave a message. Yeah, be well. 612-634-7999. Perfect. Perfect. Perfect. Perfect. Perfect. You win. You win. Uh, cool. Well, last bit of housekeeping. September 18th, we're going to do another phone interview with another punk rocker out of the Dallas Fort Worth area. His name is Phil Owens.

You might have heard of him from bands like the skate nigs or choreboy. We're going to be talking to him very much looking forward to that. If you like punk rock, I would 10 out of 10 recommend that choreboy stuff. Very good. Very good. Let's write it right up my alley. Should be awesome. And yeah, very much before to it. Me too. Me as well. And also I. And and also hashtag I too. Pound me as well. Pound I too. Pound skull fuck me. Wait. Oh, hey, why? No, I mean that. I mean that. I mean that.

Yeah. Well, last week speaking of getting skull fucked, we should bring back skull fuck. I don't know if it ever went away. This is true.

Last week, I was away at a guar concert. And I believe this was number six or seven. It's been quite a few that I've been to. Still not not a hundred. I would like to fix that. But you know, we do what we can. And I didn't actually get a ton of footage this time because I was in the pit. And that is not really the place that you want to be pulling your phone out and trying to record stuff. And I did get to shortage videos or like a minute piece if that they are both posted in the show notes.

If you want to check them out, they're posted to the no agenda tube channel that I got. And that's pretty exciting stuff. It was it was unusual. This is probably the most disconnected that I've been with a guar show. Like there would be something up. There would be some monster character up on stage. I'm like, fucking three minutes into the song. Oh, shit. That character's up there.

I was just I was way more involved with getting fucking ribbed right in the goddamn gut with elbows and fucking arms. It was a good time. I'm probably the most bruised up I've been after a show in a long while. It's been I mean, probably 2019 would have been the last like true blue fucking getting right into the pit show that I went to. And I miss it man. It's not for everyone, but you know, I like getting that blood pumping.

I like getting covered in the sweat of everybody else there on the floor. Yeah, part of the show is what's happening on the floor as much as on the stage. Yeah, got absolutely doused in blood. That was always a picture in the show notes right now. It looks like it's like coming blood on everybody. Yes. Yes, there was a lot of coming of the blood. Actually, the very top picture is below with our the berserker coming blood. Yeah, after fucking a platypus in the mouth. Naturally, everybody.

Oh, really? Oh, like the like the the co-vade platypus. Oh, I think that was a. Or Pangolin. Pangolin, yeah. Pangolin fucked a bat. I think so. Yes. And then ate it and then ate it's ass soup. A bat an ass bat soup. Ass bat soup. Yeah, I see this guy's coming blood on the crowd and they're just like begging for it. Please come on. I was begging for it. That's why the video stops. I was like, oh shit, there's come blood coming. I need to go. Got a blast.

Not as much as I'd like your hot calm all of my face. And uh, yeah, I think the sound, the actual sound of the band it. I don't know. I just, it might have been where I was standing too, but it was it just it lacked a certain clarity to it. It was a very kind of. Uh, kind of muddy in the mix, but you know, I'm just a, I'm a fucking lighting guy. So I don't know. Shit. Well, you've seen enough shows, you know, when the audio is a little off. Anybody could tell if the audio is a little off.

But I did find a full recording of the show. If anybody wants to go back after the fact and check it out, it's a found it on YouTube. It was the only version that I could find. Um, um, yeah, you know, it's a pretty good, pretty good recording of it. Um, you're kind of missing the full effect of being covered in blood. Yeah, of course, which is really why you go.

Uh, there was someone at one point that I think we were like two songs out and she looked like she was starting to get a little bit of a panic look. And she was asking for me to like help her get out of the crowd. And I was like, well, you know, I don't, I don't want to try and fight through the audience for the next two songs. So if I just run security for you and i.e. just stop people from trying to fucking knock her down.

I was like, we could probably hang out here and so I ended up kind of just chilling here from other people and ended up having a good time. Oh, that's really nice of you. Yeah, I was like, a good deed. Yes, I will take all the body shots. And so you got to be up twice as much. Yeah. I'm taking the hits for two people here, bud. Yeah. Well, that's that's nice of you. I'm liking these pictures here. You drenched in blood here. That's very nice.

Yeah, man, just want to make sure everybody has a good time and uh, it also coincided with the this week. They, the band, Guar released the 10th anniversary remaster of an album called Battle Maximus, which was a tribute album to their late guitar player, Cory Sput. And it also was the last album to feature Oeteris Urungus before he met his untimely demise. But they've redone it. They remixed it. Sounds pretty good. I streamed it Saturday or Sunday night and played the whole thing.

And it's got three new tracks on it, two of which were already recorded and released, but they were like a European variance, I think European releases. One of those is a cover of Carry on Wayward's Son, which is phenomenal. But it's also got what was described as the last track ever recorded with Oeteris on vocals. It was a previously unreleased track and the song was called Tami the Dirt Queen or Tami the swan, I'm sorry, Tami the Dirt. It was the swine queen.

Yes, that's what's actually on the album, the press release titled The Track Tami the Queen Aderts originally. Okay. So there's a little bit of confusion, but um, officially it is Tami the swine queen. And it's, it's a little surreal, you know. Hearing the words of a dead man, essentially, you know, 10 years later. But I very much enjoyed the track. I'm glad that that it's out there now for people to enjoy. Highly recommend you to swing back by and check it out, Tami the Swine Queen.

I was also of the opinion that this track was written and I don't have any concrete evidence. But I was up the mindset that the song was written about of Richmond local legend. Uh, this person was called Dirt Woman. Now, like I said, I don't have any concrete that necessarily connects the song with the Dirt Woman. But the Dirt Woman was a Richmond resident by the name of Donnie Cooker. Corker, I'm sorry.

And there's actually a documentary about Donnie Corker called Spider Mites of Jesus or Dirt Woman. And Dirt Woman was just a dude that fucking hung out on the main, like one of the main drags inside of Richmond that everybody was aware of. Everybody knew Dirt Woman. And they were a drag queen, very subversive. That's actually where all of these Isos come from is from that, uh, from that documentary. Can you believe I ain't got the AIDS after all those Dicks I sucked?

Can't un-fuck that donkey. Can't unsee that. I'll suck your Dicks so good you'll be throwing rocks at the women. Nah. Throwing rocks at women. One of the world's oldest pastimes, according to the Bible. Oh my goodness. There's a lot of Guarphidage in there about halfway through. They were showing some behind the scenes of one of their movies called It's Sleazy. And the Dirt Woman is featured as sort of the dinner platter of sorts for Sleazy's Crab Shack.

Where people could come in and eat all the crabs they wanted. I'll let your mind finish out the rest there. Right. And yeah. And people like Don Dracula, who plays Sleazy P. Martini show up in the documentary, Chris Bops, who was, he was a part of the band before they had even recorded anything way back in the day. It's cool. You know, if that's your sort of stuff, I would recommend checking it out. It's kind of a heartwarming tale.

And Wikipedia actually lists Donnie as a quote, American local character, which I just, I like that a lot. I want to be an American local character when I die. You're one right now. You're an American local character. The Moth Man. Moth Man. The Moth Man. It was a Mothster match. And I also see the Quarker additionally sold dirt grams during the holidays, personally delivered messages and greetings. Yep. Show up to your house. Nice. Seeing a song, do a little dance for you?

What more could you ask for? Oh yeah. So yeah, you know, it's actually streamed it for, or I'd just the audio part. I um, I'm trying to remember who was there. Tune to Mary Cateultra, I think. We're there to bear witness to the dirt woman. While you were streaming it the other night. Oh, this is great. Hey, good best sex. It's so quiet. Cool. Why? You ever had dumpster sex before lavish? No comment. Wow. Oh, wow. Yeah, what's the dirtiest bathroom you've ever gotten nodding in?

Um, hmm, I don't know. I don't know if I can answer that question. I know, but I'm not going to answer it. My lawyer is shaking to said, no, no, no, no, no, no, honey, go to bed. And by lawyer, I mean the Gimp. Yeah, yeah, obviously. Um, so you know, check it out if that's your bag of bag of chips, I suppose. Um, what else? Oh, this is kind of a bummer. There was a mural in Richmond, Virginia, the Dave Rocky mural. I've seen an in person and it got demolished this week in the name of progress.

Womp, womp. What? I know. Like officially or somebody bombed it like the Georgia Guidestones? I think this is official. Wow. Was it an official statue to begin with? Uh, mural. I mean, it was a mural. I mean, sorry. I don't know what an official mural means per se, you know? Never mind. I thought for some reason I heard statue and not a mural. Well, there, there is a, it's not a statue. They wanted to get a statue going inside of the Hollywood cemetery.

Um, but the holly, the cemetery owners ended up pretty much saying, no, you're not going to put a statue of Otor Shuronga's crushing beers in the graveyard. What a bunch of fucking squares. Yeah. You know, sometimes the cooler shit ends up on your lap and it's up to you to say yes or no. And those guys said no. Mm hmm. Shit. Is this true? Uh, so that was a bummer. But I am glad to have seen it. When I did, this is actually Richmond is one of the last places that I was out on tour.

It was like February of 2020, I want to say. The old Confederate capital of Richmond, Virginia. Mm hmm. Um, I guess the last thing that I have to report about Guar Perse is found a very cool Instagram account. Um, but well, I guess I'm not looking at that later. Um, anyways, if you want to check out some behind the scenes pictures of the slave pit, which is where Guar does all their production stuff, highly, highly, highly recommend checking out that account because wow.

Some really good pictures. Some really cool stuff. She's even got a little doll of moth man that she made. Ah, perfect. Maybe it's a sign. Hmm. Probably is. Yeah. No coincidences. Mm hmm. Uh, fun, fun little bit of trivia. If you've seen the music video for the cutter, which was off of the newest album that Guar did, she is the blonde that's running around murdering everybody. Ah. So. Oh, sorry. There we go. Seeing the gram right now.

Oh, at first, I thought she was a burning man, but it looks like she's just an Amarillo, Texas. Amarillo. I might like to reach out at some point. I think that can be a fun interview talking about my movies and prosthetics. Yeah, that's unspentess, it's maybe a couple of Guar stories. Yeah. Oh, yeah. Um, so yeah, that's a, that's about that. Give your lives over to Guar. Fuck you. If you ain't ball sack, you ain't shit. You are what you eat, and that means you are come blood.

Yes. You're at the base for that. Yeah.

Uh, what else do we got here for tonight? Um, I do not for the life of me recall, and I'm not like, I'm by no means the most, uh, rememberful person, if that's a word, like, you're not so full of the memories. Yeah. You know, there's some things I'll just sit there and like, yeah, this is mine forever. I'm never going to forget this, especially if I feel like it's lying to me for whatever reason. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

If it's petty extra points, yeah, that's like, oh, that's, uh, you really wanted to submit that one in there. Oh, yeah. But for the other 95% of stuff, let's write out the window. Let's give you a little A-Z sometimes tragic, really. I don't know why. Why is my memory so bad all the time? This is a, this is unusual. Did you know that there was a mass suicide cult in Kenya? I only knew about it because you informed me so the other evening. Oh, wow.

Well, fuck, man, let's just go ahead and get into some clips. This is a, this is my first one. Sad. So sad. Sad. This is mass graves all over. We've just left Melindi, a coastal town in eastern Kenya, and are heading inland to the Shakahola first. In March, news broke that a woman had killed her children here in order to please God. When the story broke, Joseph Yehri was one of the first journalists at the scene. We were first called here by the police.

We were informed that our two bodies, two bodies of children buried inside here. Instead, we found bodies all over. Mass graves all over. Today, more than 350 bodies and counting have been exhumed. They were all led to the forest by a televangelist named Paul McKenzie. His thought kept told them that the world was ending and that in order to reach God, they would have to starve themselves to death. First children, then women, then men. McKenzie said he would follow, but he never did.

So tell me about Paul McKenzie, what do we know about him? Initially, it was a taxi driver in Melindi until he formed his own ministry, now called Good News International Ministries. That church, according to the believers who first went in, was just a good church. Miracles happened until 2015. Now when he became a televangelist, a pastor, the message started changing. He started introducing the issue to do with prophecies and all these prophecies were broadcast live on television.

I didn't get a chance to link it into the show notes because I just now remembered, but if you wanted an even more in-depth conversation about televangelism, I highly recommend you go and check out shittmias.com and look at the last episode that Sursor Seats Center did with the good Reverend Dr. Fyfer. Once they finally got that puppy up and running. It was a great episode. That Rev. Dr. Fyfer's always a great guest to have. It comes prepared, man. Yes, he does. He does his research.

He does the work. Yeah, stacks of receipts. Oh yeah, it resips out the window. And I've grown up, I've always told myself, if I'm going to trust anyone, if I'm going to give anyone my soul and my heart, it's going to be a televangelist. They're very trustworthy people. Yes. Nothing about their profession or their personality would denote any weakness of character whatsoever. So, yes, the 350 plus bodies have been discovered thus far and they're still 350? Still 600 people missing.

600 people missing. Yep. Where they fucking lose them under the couch? It's 600 people. Jesus Christ. It's wild, man. That's nearly a thousand people, either dead or missing. That's no small number of people. Now, I've got a source here that labels the or says the group is of 3000. So, what? There's a third missing or dead at the moment? How awkward are those town hall meetings? Those meeting house meetings? Hard to say, man. Oh, Jesus, whole families are missing. Oh yeah. Strange.

Um, actually, this next clip gets into a little bit of who and where they're missing. Tell me about McKenzie's followers. There's that follow them into this first. They came from fan-wide because McKenzie had followers all over. So, presumably, many of those people would never have heard of Paul McKenzie were not for his TV channel. Correct. There's still an estimated 600 of Paul McKenzie's followers who are still missing in Chakahola first. One of them is a woman named Pamela Muklasinga.

She's from Bangalama. It's a county in Northwest Kenya. The opposite end of the country, nearly a thousand kilometers from here. We've managed to find his son. He's living in Nairobi. So, I'm off to the capital to meet him. So, yeah, actually, this video comes from Al Jazeer. If you go back to the show notes and you'll look at the picture that's directly underneath the header for televans, do you see the family sitting there in the living room? I do.

What, is there anything that looks off about this image? There's a couple things. One of them is that it looks like the mom of the grandmother is wearing a mask. Well, yes, there is that. But also, That's very strange. The television. What's going on with this television? It looks like, well, the image looks fake. Yes, very much so. It very much looks like a Photoshop job. Yeah, it does. And I just, well, I shouldn't say Photoshop, but after effects, whatever. Some video editing software.

Yeah, it's been doctored. And I just, you know, listen to how much they kind of riff on the power of media in this clip. In terms of religion, just I don't have anything really more substantial to add to that. Just the fact there's this fucking purported trusted source of information, doctoring footage. Okay. All right. You know, it's each their own. This next clip gets into a little bit of the mysticism, the mystery, and the occultism behind Paul McKenzie.

Paul McKenzie is what we would refer to as a charismatic authority. I didn't remember until now, but I actually took the time to screenshot these, to screenshot the translations of what Paul was or what Al Jazeera is telling us is his translations because of this TV. Now I have to wonder. But allegedly, he says there, we will sit with our God forever and rest from the troubles of the world.

Because in order to be a televangelist, in order to hold the attention of a audience, no matter how big or small, you have to have a particular kind of charisma. Comparing to other African televangelists, you can tell that the rest of the African televangelists tend to go the prosperity way and Paul McKenzie goes the mystical way. When Miss Ann, there he said, Jesus asked me, why aren't the dead rising like I made them rise before? I don't know. Why aren't they?

Oh, that's one of Jesus's cooler powers I must admit. Jesus asking a bunch of ending questions. Why is it? Yes, you're gonna end questions. Jesus basically said, fucking things sucks. Fuck it. We'll do it live is what he's saying there. Didn't they say to Jesus, if you can do miracles, why don't you do one right now? And Jesus replied, you can do miracles. Why don't you get your own damn miracles? You should get your own fucking miracles. Street kicks in.

Somebody is believed to have information or news or power that other people don't have. And so that occultic mystical element is what really endeared him to a lot of people. Mystical occultism. So there's some secret workings to be done by Paul McKenzie here. Pretty spooky. See some under the radar working this here, some secret stuff. Now we'll hear a little bit about the mother that was mentioned in the prior clip.

We'll also get some more exposure to the hit on the role that broadcasts and television plays when amplifying the message of religion. Pamela McCullesinger's son, Rodgers Shibusa, says that she would spend her days watching McKenzie's Times TV channel and was captivated by his sermons that promised spiritual healing. She thought he could help her daughter who was suffering from mental health issues.

This time last year, Shibusa's mother, his sister, and her three-year-old daughter left home to join the televanjulist. Okay. Most literally, to define our mother, the main reason my mother followed McKenzie's preaching was my elder sister's illness. During his TV sermons, McKenzie would often use the Bible and a specific oil to heal people. So my mother thought he might be able to help my sister. That was her main motivation.

If it wasn't for his TV station, my mother never would have heard of someone like McKenzie. When religion comes under the agency of media, then media transforms that religion. And so perhaps for people like Paul McKenzie, media tended to give them some kind of reputation and credibility. That was if I'm McKenzie, I'm not happy with that church, what of God, whatever that means.

And the way I think I can most succinctly break down that last clip is Paul McKenzie is basically the Kenyan version of the Fauci or a hotes. Okay. Okay. A con man. A con man that has his message amplified through televisions. Tell a vision. And they have the magic oil that you can rub on the skin and you'd be healed again. Yeah. Six easy payments of 69 and 69. You get the snake oil. Yeah. Coming soon to October near you. Get excited people. It's a pretty good gig. Yes, me.

Yeah, you know, all you need some charisma. I think both of our character sheets has quite a few points in charisma. All I'm saying is if we build a compound and we have the dental hygienists, we should also have a broadcasting station. Well, that's all you had to say. All you had to say was dental hygienists, I'm in. Okay. Hashtag. I'm in. Spook heaven. Hell yeah. Hell yeah. I like it. Now we'll hear a little more about how his message overall transformed over the years.

Paul McKenzie's message would have first started out as what we would consider an instance of religious diversity, right? Because it doesn't just start off as an end of times. We then see it moving into a space of deviance. Education is evil. And then later on we see it moving into a space of danger. Hallelujah. So the first one I've got to pause there. But the first one that he had said was education is evil, which. I mean, that's not like that.

Like all education, the inclination to learn is evil. I don't know about that. Well, let's, uh, shit, I had that page somewhere and we pull it back up here. I got some, there's actually a really good article that summarized a lot. And they got all the sources for every bullet point, which, I love it. Hmm. Um, good formatting. A school is evil. Yeah. McKenzie told us. McKenzie told a reporter quote, education is evil and is encouraged children to drop out of school.

Often without parental consent. Push children not to enroll in school. McKenzie ordered his followers to burn their academic certificates. Okay. Oh, okay. Okay. Um, you're helping them. I see. Uh, there's some other stuff in here like the USA and UN were considered tools of Satan. I mean, that's kind of a get in. Obviously. Well, that's true though. Right. Members were forbidden from getting medical care in hospitals. Because medicine is evil.

Well, I was actually talking to Mary Kate Ulter about this today. Do you know what the etymology of, uh, health and care is? Health care? Yeah. Well, uh, not off the top of my head. Well, for health, it's kind of, I think one of the more common ones was a dramatic origin, meaning the whole. And then care. Funny. Actually, you should, you should take a moment to look up the etymology of care.

This is, I am care is old English, care, who care you meaning sorrow, anxiety, grief, also burdens of the mind and serious mental attention and late old English also concern or anxiety by the apprehension of evil or the weight of many burdens. Hmm. Does that remind you of a certain tarot card? Yes, it does. Yes, it does. Yep. To well or lament the whole, lament the whole, lament. I've seen a couple holes lament in my time. Hey, oh, oh. Um, yeah, I just, that was very, very fascinating.

Um, and I just don't trust that health care. I don't trust that health care anymore. Well, it's a sticky double edged sword because you want good doctors. You want a good health care. But when the health care is then used as a weapon or it's used for illicit intentions, then it becomes from, it turns from the most wholesome and greatest thing around to being the worst thing that you can imagine. Right. Using health to hurt. AKA Fauci.

And the boys over at the Bill and Melinda Sex Gates Foundation. Well, I mean, in all of their fervent followers, because it's a cult. It's also a good business. And that's okay. You know, the end of the day, it's okay. Shh. Do you want to ask questions? Just trust the experts. Come on, come on, man. Not a joke. We didn't develop the most powerful information, cleaning tool that mankind has ever known for you to use it. Yeah. Well, let me finish off this clip here, I'll fast.

Now, it's difficult to predict what the progression will be because not all diverse iterations of a mainstream religion will become deviant. And not all deviant iterations of a mainstream religion will become dangerous. But sometimes they do. What was so funny about that? The question now is, at what point should the Kenyan authorities have intervened? And could they have done so while upholding Mackenzie's constitutional right to freedom of thought and religion?

The Communications Authority is the body responsible for regulating broadcast media in the country. This past April, it suspended Mackenzie's TV channel. But only after the Shakahola story had broken. And even then it was mostly for administrative non-compliance. Little of the content it reviewed broke the rules. I asked the director general how his organization monitors this kind of content.

Lavish, how do you think the director general monitors this sort of televangelism on the over-the-air broadcasting? They don't say they do. Basically, we use a system that logs the information. But when you have 320 TV stations, for you to make sense of that content, the technology we have is somebody has to sit down and listen through or watch. So, someone has to actually work at the mesh of that particular content. That's why we don't really like doing that. That's old school method.

Yeah, the old school method of sitting down and doing a job by working at it for a couple hours a day. It's just too much. Yeah, it's spooks these days, Gareth. Easy, they got all these algorithms in the AI. It's tiles play. Back in my day, we didn't have no algorithm. We just had good old fashioned elbow grease and sweat. Back in my day, when people were paid to do a job, they did the job. So, yeah, I mean, I might actually save the rest of the clip there.

Essentially, they're like, you know, there's nothing that we could really do. Like, how are we supposed to know? It's a bunch of non-answer type shit. I did see an article. I didn't get a chance to parse it super hard. Kenya Bans Colt Churches over public safety issues. And this was from August 19th, 2023. Kenning government has banned five churches, including the Church of the Colt leader, Paul McKinsey, for urging followers to starve themselves to death.

Registrar society's Maria Nareki announced the decision in a statement. Kenyan president William Rudo and deputy president, society concerns over public safety calling for thorough investigations into the regulations of religious organizations in the country. Self-proclaimed pastor Paul McKinsey has persuaded his followers in the Shaka Hola, S-H-A-K-A-H-O-L-A cult.

Shaka Hola. Shaka Hola. To fast until death, until the, with the promise of meeting Jesus, death toll surpassed 400 in July, I did see in that other article that they were running out of places to keep the bodies, which is... Wow. That's a lot of fucking dead meat. Other ban churches... They're throwing up major numbers here, and I imagine if you get hundreds of dead people, it is kind of hard to hide that they start rotting, they start asking questions. Digging holes is not that easy.

No. I don't know if you ever dug a hole with a shovel, just a good old-fashioned, you know, six-foot grave. Take a half a day. Now do that 400 times over. Yeah, and all the people that would have helped you dig those graves... The other churches were King's Outreach Church, Helicopter of Christ church, the... TheOFILUS church, or Oricopter of Jesus church... A helicopter of Christ church. Is it like Jesus Helicoptering on the cross? What do you mean like helicopter digging? Yeah, probably.

Yeah, yeah. He is risen. Oh, they have a Facebook page. Wow. Of course they do. Of course they do. Uh, that's hard to read. So yeah, I mean, that's really all I know. A lot of the other clips is a lot of the same repeat sort of information, talking points. I would recommend that, uh, what was the name of the website? cultfax.com. And a vast amount of sources there. That was a website. Yeah. I think I've got a bookmark for later adventures. For all of your cult facts.

Um, let's see what were these others? Do you have any interest in... I've got four shortage clips about... Yeah. Fasting. Specifically. Oh, yeah. I love, oh, fasting's great. Yeah. Well, I think this first one's going to start off with a fan favorite. What was this video called? Fasting in world history. Pythagoras is regarded as one of the most influential mathematicians and philosophers of ancient times. That's just a thing.

In his earlier adulthood, he's tirelessly attempted to enroll in Egyptian schools. They told him that knowledge came through experience, which he lacked. He was finally given a chance to become a student, but under one condition. He had to fast for 40 days. Upon accomplishing the feat, he said, you are not allowing Pythagoras in. I am a different man. I am reborn. Through this purification, my center of being has changed.

Pythagoras is just one example in a long list of historical figures who attested to fasting. And my, this list is very long, because it wasn't just Pythagoras. It was other Greeks. The ancient Greeks loved fasting. For one, they used it to prepare for the Olympic Games. Many prominent Greek figures swore by it. As we know, Pythagoras did a 40-day fast. He claimed to give him more lucidity and physical strength. He also required all of his students to fast.

Another well-known figure in ancient Greece, a man by the name of Plato, claimed that fasting was medicinal. Plato is quoted saying, I fast for greater physical and mental efficiency. One of Plato's students, Aristotle, was also known to fast. Then you can look at the proclaimed father of medicine, Hippocrates. He said, the natural healing force within each one of us is the greatest force in getting well. To eat when you're sick is to feed your sickness.

Plutarch, who thoroughly documented ancient Greece and Rome, claimed, instead of using medicine, better fast today. Really, really, something in stark accord with that. To eat when you're sick is to feed your sickness. I do like that. That is something. I do agree to that fasting does something for you. It's done in moderation because you got to be careful when you're doing these fasts. These water fasts. I've done, I think the most have done is five days. Good five day water fast.

And you start on day three. You really start to feel the difference. You do get a lot of clarity. Somebody who spoke on this was Christian Bale, who is famous now for gaining and losing a lot of weight for roles. Really fast too. Very fast way, way, way, fast where people like worry about his health as they should. And the most extreme bit of weight loss that he ever did was for a film called The Machinist. If you remember that. Where he played an anorexically skinny man.

And he has spoken in interviews about doing this film. His people ask him about it a lot. And he said that when he was doing that, he was fasting. It wasn't eating for days on end. And he had the most focus that he'd ever had in his life. He said that if he wanted to, he would read a he would read books for 10 hours straight with no distractions. You're not worried about eating. You're not worried about whatever. And when your stomach's full of food, your brain gets full of mush as well.

And when that food goes away, then when the digestive system is relieved of having tig-sert effort, then that energy goes elsewhere as the idea. Your brain and other parts of your body get that effort which the body can only put so much effort forward. So you divert all power to main engines, Mr. LaForge. It's weird, man. When I get really fucking spun out with work and just really push to the mental threshold of like where I'm really like past the point of being civil.

There comes a point where I'm like, fuck, I haven't eaten in three days and it just fucking goes like that. And I, there was a time where I was like, man, this is like this can't be right. But I don't know. I'm I'd be curious to attempt it with a real focus. And I know that I can do it because I've done it unintentionally before. Just because you know, the stress is so just fucking unbelievable. I'm like, I okay. You know what? It's going to slow me down to eat right now.

Yeah. And I feel like that as I get older, I get very conscious of, you know, not I'm having a light lunch because if I have a heavy lunch, it'll just fuck my whole day. Yeah. It's a lot of your sleepy all day. But you do so much, you physically exert yourself so much. I mean, you lift lights, general kinds of stuff. So it's tough when you have a physical job to do that because after a few days, you lose it.

You're starting to lose, you lose all of the faculties of physical faculties that you're used to having that you take for granted. And you know, you can't pick shit up as easily and you're bumping into stuff as you're walking. I mean, your body is starving. You're physically starving and those calories are harder to come by. So the body starts to fail you. But meanwhile, the mind is nothing new there. Well, yeah. Yeah. That's true.

Now, my question for you is, you would still be smoking the whole time though. Yes, probably. So that's a whole different animal. To be starved for five days while also being a chain smoker, I'm not sure how your body will react given that. But you know, it probably would help because cigarettes for the most part helps alleviate. Yep. And I could still, yeah, I was talking to server with it about it briefly and things like coffee and tea are still okay and depending on who you talk to is book.

Yeah, coffee tea. So I mean, really like, I just need to take my normal diet because like, I'm at the point where even on the regular basis, I'll eat, like I had one meal today and one meal yesterday at a one meal the day before that. So on and so forth. Yeah. So no one meal a day type guy too. Yeah, it's just a matter of getting through the waves. You get, you have that initial major wave of hunger where you think you're starving.

And then after day two or day three, that goes away and you experience what's called true hunger. A hunger that's kind of like, you can even feel it. It comes from a different place. It doesn't come from the center of your stomach. It comes from like, you're a soft guess. It's fucking weird. But it's always had religious connotations of the idea that you as a living being is a living organism. Your main focus, your biological drive is to eat and to procreate at the most basic level.

And when you get rid of those two things, intentionally, it gives the body the ability to focus on other things that it isn't usually designed to do. And consciousness can be a part of that as well. Now, the, it wasn't just the Greeks, as I'm sure you're surprised to hear, but it was also fan favorite, it's the Egyptians. Of course. In Egyptians were known to fast for 30 days per year. They felt that it would help them uphold their morals.

They also saw it as a way to provide the spirit with self-control. The Egyptians felt that it was a form of restraint that could carry over to other aspects of their lives. The Tata and Santal of Africa had an interesting take on fasting. It is a tradition for the bride and groom to go on a fast before they get married. Native Americans were known to eat whenever they felt the urge, as opposed to having standard meals. They also fasted as a prayer for success before an upcoming war or hunt.

Cherokee priests have described the endeavor as a means to spiritualize the human nature and quicken the spiritual vision by absence from earthly food. Further south, in the Inkin Empire of Peru, fasting was seen as a way to atone for one's sins. In Celtic and pagan societies, fasting was actually a legal means to address a grievance. People would fast in order to protest a specific action.

Those being protested against couldn't avoid the faster because they believed doing so would result in supernatural penalties. Pagans also viewed fasting as a way to become closer to the divine and cleanse the body. In ancient India, if someone was in debt, they could fast in front of their debt or to pay it off. Many Indians still fast today during special occasions. Could you imagine having to fast for the equivalent of $80,000 to UCLA? Like your student loans, just you starving to death?

I can see that. In a way, it is like that. If you don't do the ramen thing. There are religious connotations. We have mentioned two spiritual leaders who are famous for fasting. We have mentioned Jesus Christ and we have mentioned the Buddha. Both of these characters were given divine visions when they fasted. Jesus fasted for 40 days and was visited by Satan. And truly became the son of God in that moment. The Buddha, his whole thing was about rejecting earthly pleasures.

His whole stick was fasting. He was given sacred knowledge under the tree after he starved himself good and hard. The son of God there about it. And then Islam, of course, has a period of fasting as well as Judaism. Well, I'm very glad that you mentioned those. The author of the video does get into the specifics with those religions that you mentioned.

I don't have those clipped, but my last clip does discuss Jesus in the wilderness with Satan and the bread and the rock, which is kind of a neat story, I guess. The word for fasting in Sanskrit is upavasa. Upav means near and vasa means to stay. This can be interpreted as staying near the Lord. In the middle ages, long fasts were highly valued by the church. It was even a requirement in order to become a saint.

Then in the Renaissance, Paracelsus, known as the Father of Toxicology, was quoted saying, fasting is the greatest remedy, the physician within. To add to the list of historical figures who advocated for fasting, Mark Twain claimed, a little starvation can really do more for the average sick man than can the best medicines and the best doctors. Ben Franklin had similar advice saying, the best of all medicines are resting and fasting.

It's abundantly clear that fasting has its place throughout history. Many religions also incorporate fasting for spiritual purposes. Let's start with Christianity. There are notable fasts and different denominations of Christianity that go on during Advent and Lent. Christians believe that fasting is a way to elevate the spirit closer to God. To quote Luke 4 verses 2-4, were for 40 days he was tempted by the devil. He ate nothing during those days and at the end of

them he was hungry. The devil said to him, if you are the son of God, tell this stone to become bread, Jesus answered, it is written, man shall not live on bread alone. In the Old Testament, people fasted to avoid God's wrath for a variety of reasons, either collectively or by themselves. To quote Exodus 34 verse 28, Moses was there with the Lord 40 days and 40 nights without eating bread or drinking water. And he wrote on the tablets the words

of the covenant, the 10 commandments. Wow. 40 days, 40 nights man, that is no small feat. The number 40 comes up again and again. That started off with the year guide, 40. Wasn't it 40 years wandering the desert? 40 years wandering the desert. And the monarch dropping from the sky, the magic food from the gods.

But I've heard, yeah, about the healing as well, literal healing where people will fast and then some injury that they had forgotten about, maybe their shoulder was screwed up or something, that if they fasted, then the shoulder, they could feel the shoulder healing. The body gives the shoulder the attention that it otherwise wouldn't have the energy to do. Yeah, I guess, I'm not sure what the physiology of it is, but I guess I was under the impression that the act of digesting food

is in and of itself a very taxing process. Right. So I mean, when you remove that, the body is free to do other things. I mean, I've heard people take it as far as this is a legitimate treatment for cancer. And if you want my honest opinion about it, that's probably the route that I would go. Just pop an ivermagnet and fasting. And lots of grapefruit or lemons, lemon juice, lemon juice straight into my eye. Lemon juice and baking soda, baking powder, I can't remember which

one. Big and soda, big powder again. Yeah. Oh my god, Iris. Yes, I know you want in really bad, but holy shit. Shut up, cat. That's why I can't let you in, because that's the cables that you're pulling at next. Hmm, hmm, hmm, then the next thing you know. Yeah. So I mean, that that pretty much wraps me on fasting. I'm curious on exploring this in a personal capacity. I mean, maybe not to the extent of making a thousand people disappear, but you know, on an individual level. Yeah,

fasting is cool if you're just doing it yourself. Don't make a thousand other people fast to death. That's not cool. Yeah. Yep. Yep. Yep. Yep. Yep. Those wily Africans getting up to fun stuff. What's your what's your fun going on over there? I think wily is teetering at the very best. Well, I've been described as teetering at the very best.
