DLUTI 051 - Hastur, The Whisperer in the Darkness

I don't you know I just ate for Valentine's day we went to Naperville and I eat octopus and I had

the tentacles for the first time No No soy sauce

no it wasn't the first time that and soy sauce it was a Mexican place and they had they had tentacle with this like pesto and this like a lime or you get by no eight It was no but it was very good I will say it was a little little rubbery of my taste. I think it needs to be prepared differently or I need to eat it faster because I think

it's weird because I actually don't like or do you like seafood?

Yes

I don't I don't care for seafood but I do love me octopus and squid for some reason.

It was very naturally tentacles. Yeah, Ashley tentacle.

It was good I think it just let it because

you there are a lot of things in this world that I just won't eat. There are very few things in this world that I just won't eat but like fried fucking like squid, calamari, like Yeah. Oh god. No, it's terrible. The rubbery texture

Hey, Matt We're doing a thing where we introduce the topic. It has to do with tentacles Oh lovely

you brought us into it.

That's something that I was put should a fucking mentioned with like the seafood and shit from the last episode you guys did. I'm deathly afraid of sea life. I hate it.

So this is going to be so much fun then.

Absolutely. Oh it'd be so real quick met with what Jason just said. We're trying to segue into the topic. What would you call that? What would I call what would you

call a segue into a topic?

Well, I think bird scooter is much more entertaining

Oh hell yes. Thank god okay, I haven't programmed in air horn and the sound pad yet but that will work I guess we

don't need to keep using the sound we abused Well

now it sounds like shit Mike

my jobs it's if you

click the button you don't get to on the button

you wanted this I don't know what else to get

no we did ask for this we

did we Oh of thumb is to like the button you don't get to unclick the button because

saloon corner Yes. Corner is here. To put us also Matt's here again because we're going on a four episode bench

and I have a very good question before we start this. If I happen to know the location in Chicago of some after hours, octopus bars would that fall under the Cathar blue corner like criteria?

Also, you guys know what that means? I think you're stepping into muck bang territory.

Oh no. I mean unless you think that eating is with both sets of lips. That oh, maybe. Ooh,

I've decided that the only way that I can get over my fear of seafood is to have a Jason and towards Doug and or Mike McBain Have you just shoving random sea creatures in your maids,

the $100 Patreon to be

very careful of what you wish for. Be very careful.

So since we're talking about seafood and sea life, and we also have a mat here, for those of you just chiming in, Matt, again has been with us for a couple episodes because we're going on a four episode binder that he created the ripsaw slash rebar arg and we'll check out those episodes. They're

really fun ever lives meaning for like three to four months.

Yeah, and now we're talking Jason and Doug are going to talk to me and Matt about see what

you're gonna blast your ear balls are full of tentacley fun knowledge 10 ticular 10 ticular knowledge

so with proper Cthulhu corner I know nothing. Matt apparently knows nothing. We made sure absolutely not. And you to know everything so yes. What do we what are we talking about?

Now? It's not a what it's a who? And even then it but it might also be a what or aware? And uh, when

you're not home? Honestly,

it could be a lot of things in here the

A why or how

the classic Hube fashion. You never really know what we're talking about you

ever really thought keeps everything mysterious?

It every speakable it is unspeakable can't talk about in describe.

So we're just gonna, this episode is actually just 45 minutes of silence. Because he is so indescribable and unspeakable that we're going to just go through it. And, you know, classic Hubert Pubert Lovecraft fashion.

Yeah, I mean, to be fair, I do have a visual representation of the thing we're talking about today. What

it sounds like is going to happen is they're gonna give me the name of whatever we're talking about. Followed by 45 minutes of silence with the occasional just,

huh? Yes, I'm deleting both my dogs audio tracks, which is just you and Matt just getting confused.

It's just dead silence is here. This is dead silence and out of nowhere like 28 minutes and us here. Really?

You might just hear a random cube he you.

HP? Yeah. Um, so we are doing another Cthulhu corner. Because it's fucking high time since we've done the last one. Last one we did was as a Thoth. And if you could remember, Mike, are you an alcoholic?

No, I'm giving this do you want that? Oh, you're

offering it

as someone who regularly listens into the show. I do have concerns but maybe

the concerns are valid. They know they are I giving up my alcohol though. Because I have a drive and I don't want to finish that drink.

And I don't and Doug staying here late. So we are reaping the benefits.

Yeah, that was a perfect like maybe holeshot. Yeah.

We'll tell you that in a sec. Let's explain what Yes. Let's try who is what

what is our topic? Jason, what are we doing today?

Have you have you seen the sign?

I see that. Have you seen the sign? I try to avoid the sign. I mean,

most would if they knew what the sign was, but if you know what the sign is, that means you have seen the sign, which means you can't escape it. We're talking about a very integral part of the entire Lovecraft slash Cthulhu Mythos today,

quit target Madang and just tell me his name is fucking Hastur there it

is. We are talking about Dastur Denny Hastert yellow

we're talking about Denny Hastert Dennis Quaid? Actually, we don't want to talk about Dennis Hastert. He's not a good boy. I helped him in a qinhuai ETD store. And I sold him a phone who Dennis Hastert. He was

bad. Do you see? Do you understand? Now you

understand what I love about this podcast so much, which is just like 10 Five minutes of build up and then just like 10 minutes of derail?

That's around you guys last year of our lives.

Dennis Hastert is no I do know who that is speaker of the house during the George Bush administration and he got in trouble for like pedophilia and went to jail for a long long time. I

wrote him a likes

to helping him I sold him a phone and I had to put an iPhone I might be getting way too much information or I might get in trouble but I do have I've called back up on his phone and he started like George Bush and like Clinton's phone numbers office phone do you do not write that shit down? He's like, Oh, these are old contacts. But I guess so doing like Clinton Bush unofficially Why did you

not commit felonies for us? Are you shitting on that? I should have done it.

Okay. All right, guys. We are waiting to get back back on track for sure. We're talking about Hastur the king in yellow. What else would you call them?

Oh, there's a hacer the unspeakable is a fantastic one. He's got so many fucking names Lord Hastur the unspeakable one. A few names that I won't even try to fucking pronounce.

I believe that one there's Andre you're trying to as Trey has three astray the next one a little more.

True.

It's if you want to go the Harry Potter route. The the him who is not? Kawan

saboteur.

Is that how you pronounce that acid her it's asked her Jaster is acids her but it looks like asked her the Feaster from afar, the Lord of interstellar spaces the peacock King, zoo, colic Hoth, Johanna is Vanderburg. Yep, hacer the unspeakable the unspeakable Fendrick Dweller in the depths thing in the lake. Him slept beneath and the great prints of the old

one. Does he really need that many titles?

You should see the list. The names for nearly

Yeah, this is tame compared to a lot of the like outer gods like nicknames, even as of the, we did not go over all of His Names. So we did not there 10 times as many. And the reason you get all these names is because these are all the different like stories that he can be associated with. Yep. So if you wanted to know like, who and what in kind of a nutshell

which, if you have not read that fucking all, if you like dread read that. It is very fucking good story. If you want to feel like you don't matter. And something is coming to get you. That's that's the story to read.

anymore that?

Well, you turn in the wrong podcast, my guy.

And it's actually really funny because originally, hacer is the creation of a guy named Ambrose Bierce. Whose short story I don't even know how to say this one. But Aisha is I think, Heisha the shepherd. Basically, he describes hacer as

could say interpretations. I would prefer to call them recollections.

Yeah, historical accounts. Yep. But absolutely

true words that exist in earth.

Keep in mind, as we've said about a lot of this HP Lovecraft opened up his works to be to the public domain and public domain, but basically, so So HP Lovecraft had this like, weird group of people who also kind of wrote the same sort of shit he was writing at the same time as him that weren't like, they weren't like, technically interconnected, but they kind of were. So this guy, August delyth. He's the publisher and apostle of Lovecraft

that I think just blew right by that but yes, Apostle. Yeah. Yeah. Have Lovecraft? Yes.

I know. Like, he knew about and like accepted, but they think about

fucking, I don't know Last Supper, like he basically dedication but to Lovecraft

Yeah, he pretty much worship this guy. Yes. It's a very weird relationship. We could probably do a whole episode on that guy. Oh,

absolutely. And if you read his fucking his, his works, you can absolutely like you get the the Bible vibes. Like the fucking like, this is my Lord and Savior. Yeah. And his creations are my creations and we love every fucking second of it.

Which is funny because like, I sprung like 60 bucks on a Bible. Yeah, Lou, I started on that. Yeah, it's very occultist. But yeah, so this August guy, he published the wall. He published a bunch of things, but basically, he developed has turned to one of the great old ones like he's, he's, he's the guy that turned him into a Great Old One. Basically called him the spawn of Yaga Thoth, the half brother of Cathar Liu and possibly I'm gonna butcher this one the Magnum in omen and Diem.

He's the Ford F 150. Cthulhu Mythos guys.

He's the super so in this incarnation

to be quite fucking

fucking dolphin in the room here. So we got so Hastur has several avatars, the Feaster from afar, which is another story, a black, shriveled, flying monstrosity with tentacles, tipped with razor sharp talons that can pierce a victim's skull, and siphon out the brain. This is kind of that typical, like vision of Hastur that you'll see like yellow cloak tentacles at the bottom.

I feel like that's like typical Lovecraft in general, just a black mass of tentacles and sharp

and amorphous representation of dark, writhing chaos like yes, yeah, absolutely.

One thing I will go over later is about some of the different depictions of Hastur I Because I don't want to go there yet. I don't want to go there yet,

so I should I'm excited d&d. Fuck. Okay.

Oh, you played through the wars, right?

Yeah, no, I have not played Oh yeah, no you have I have not I so I have fucking Okay. All right call Cthulhu Alright, well

yeah, we will get there that'll be that'll be later okay anyways, so yeah no, I love the shit so yeah so we have that and then we have the Carcosa foundation yep is actually a Stockholm based coterie that worships Hastur

Yeah, it's a call it's the cult of the yellow sign more or less

so real world things tying into all of this as well and then Hester is a morphus. But he is said to appear as a vast vaguely occupied being similar to his half nice cilia. And that's weird though,

because like every depiction I've seen of Hastur is more humanoid than, like cephalopod.

I'll bring this up. I'll I will bring this up for sure. And then the last thing we get with Hester is that and Lynn Carter's Carcosa story about Holly Hester is named as the Dweller in the depths the spawn of Aza Thoth, the half brother of Goethe, which we've already heard once, and the mate of Cheb McGrath. So basically, he was the father of noggin. yabb. Yep. Which is kind of crazy. A little bit crazy. Once we go over those, you'll

Doug and I are fuck, we are legitimately rubbing our chef's together right now. Fucking exciting this is.

See if you do that you'll cause a fire and Wake Forest fires. So I

I really, really love how in depth and how everything connects so well in this fucking universe.

Yeah, so we kind of have like, was like, three or four other people's like stories kind of.

So right now we have four people stories, basically, basically creating the mythos of Hastur, which is another great thing that we're going to bring up here quickly, actually. Yeah, they've all

kind of like, come to a conclusion like he's the half brother of Cthulhu. And they've all decided like, yeah, that's what he is, which is kind of fun. Oh,

abs a fucking Loli and I'm so happy that Lovecraft love crafts works are deemed like public domain, which it led so many people to expound upon these weirdly horrifying things.

Old school, SCP. Yeah,

I'm so happy. You said that. Oh, so? Because yes, this is like, this is SCP version one. And

except there's no Russian guy trying to take over? Yes, there's

no rush you can and kind of like spoilers, but I just thought this was like such a cool fact. So we call this the Cthulhu Mythos. But it was originally going to be the Hastur mythos. Yep. Before it was go through

Pasteur was supposed to be like, the the the identifying being

doesn't have the same ring to it as

it doesn't but HP Lovecraft said the same shit. He's like, nope. Because Sue says Cuellar Yeah. At 100% Does

like realize I'm convinced that that's really the only reason that Guthrie Liu has gotten so popular because like, I love Cthulhu to death, but oh my there's so many more beings in this mythos

that are it's also because way better back then. You know, this is one like the 20s

Oh, no. 18 918 80s Yeah. Now he was back to 98 to like 1905 ish. Yeah, he died in 36.

What's scarier than a giant, you know, winged octopus thing from the definitely ocean rather than a man that loves yellow, you know? Comparatively, creatures.

I'm sorry. What do you say? sea creatures.

They're horrifying

holiday fuck have you seen in a fucking angler fish?

Yeah, they're awful.

Matt, do you have fasula phobia?

Yes, I am subscribed to that subreddit. Okay, I figured a lot of Yeah, and there's a another one oh sub mechanics. Oh, yes.

Oh my god. I really actually watch a lot of Disney YouTube things about that. And like some of those mechanical things in the water or fucking terrifying.

Hey, Matt. Have you ever heard of a game called Sunless Sea? No. I would pay money to watch you play that game. It's fair by most people's expectations. cuz it's pretty tamed with some very creepy factors to it very Lovecraftian tactics to it, but with somebody who's afraid of shit like that, yes, I would absolutely pay money to watch somebody stream that game and be terrified of it. So if you have a chance to check it out and you want to send us a funny video, there you go.

Okay, yeah, well, maybe I'll horrify myself for your amusement later, but I'm sorry. I've derailed this whole thing.

No, you're fine. I might finance that, because I want to see it. That's kind of the you know, the names we know Hastur by there's a bit of inspiration and like all things love craft in its it. origins are shrouded in fucking mystery. There's no concrete answer to any one being that you could find in this mythos. But this is kind of like a couple of the a couple of the places that you can find some very, I don't know, ancient

I mean, when you think of Hastur you think of like, desecration. Yeah. And like,

rot decay? Yeah. The end of things. I mean, you just look at a picture of him. Like he's wearing this, this tattered, decrepit yellow robe with melting tentacley features, like, kind of poking out of where his face should be, but the rest of his blackness and it just, it's all about death and decay. Yeah, he's what hacer is all about.

It's like if a bunch of toddlers stacked on top of each other, and they're wearing a trench coat, but in this case, it's just like a bunch of tentacles, like stacked on top of each other, are made of

tend to try to get

into a PG 13 movie, and they just can't do it. Yeah, exactly.

And then you find out they're actually raccoons and it's a whole thing. And then the raccoons are made of tentacley nightmare species,

and ugly slapping their fake ID on the counter.

Sir, why is your ID covered in slime?

So? I'm glad that you're creating a new Hesser origin story. Or at least teenage years mythos for him? Yeah. Um, but no. So like, he's he was originally thought of as like this benevolent being that brought good fortune, good omens, what have you. There's another story that we've already mentioned, named inhabitant of Carcosa, referred to the place of Carcosa as a person, Holly, which later names author or sorry, which names which later? What the fuck does that say?

It says names which later authors were to associate with Hastur. So Carcosa and hell, Holly, right? Yes. You got it?

Yes. That just fucked me up a lot. No, it's

written very weird.

It is. So basically, what this is saying is these.

So remember, what I was basically saying, is hacer a person is place? What is Hester? A lot of the stories that we get, they interpreted differently. There's no description of him up at this point. Like, we don't know what he looks like, because in classic HP fashion, it's it's undescribable and speakable. Yes. So there was a lot of debate for a long time on what hacer was. And that's, that's the words in which Jason was trying to say,

I apologize. I have had a lot of shots and reading is hard.

No, that is, but that was written very well, but also hate it

that's written by an intelligent person right now. So we are also going to talk about a very old story actually was before love crafts time. In 1895, which is a few years before Lovecraft actually got into writing. You see a story called The King in yellow. And it's actually a collection. And you it's a bunch of horror stories and Hastur is the name of a potentially supernatural character in Yep, not gonna try that. Yeah, no, that's

a weird name.

It's a French word. It's a French name. And

we'll say demo silly.

Demo. Say no, say

it sounds more Japanese. I

don't know. Yeah, I really do.

I'm not gonna fucking I'm Not going to offend a whole culture by trying to. So let's just move on. There's a story all about the king in yellow in 1895. And it's mentioned without explanation in another story called The yellow sign. And the latter of those two also mentions Carcosa, Holly, and a bunch of other authors that you might recognize in the Cthulhu Mythos. So

this actually ties into what I was just saying about we don't know if he's a person, place or thing. Because basically, we get the name of him. And then we get the name of him as a place. Yep. And then he's mentioned without explanation, and another story, just yellow sign. And from there, it's just like, what, what is Hastur? Like, what? Like, is he he thing that ties like what we don't know. No fucking

idea.

So once Lovecraft

didn't come up with the Hastur, he just kind of pronounced

founded on Honestly, you're gonna that's gonna be a theme that you see here. Love crypto, he

stole work from other people. No, he

worked with them,

correct? Yes, he worked with a bunch of people. And he basically took it very, very minor parts of stories, names, places, etc. With no backstory attached to them and said, You know what? This would look good if it were made of tentacles and came from 40 billion light years

away. And actually this this next part is

we're giving over giving Matt existential dread.

He's over here just like oh, sitting on the toilet like me and like,

yeah, yeah, that's just like my worst nightmare.

Why? Why are you on with us right now? This is

starting to regret all my decisions. Minute by Minute.

Well, let's keep this train going. So what so he just explained kind of like where the idea of Hastur came from,

which again, was not originally loved. It was

a story called The yellow sign. The yellow

King kilos an excerpt before sign or horror, horror signs, horror stories.

Yeah, and that mention of the name Hastur at one point in one of seven stories, very loose.

So love crafts vision, actually went a little differently than this whole thing started off. So HP Lovecraft read Chamber's book in 1927 and he was so enchanted by it that he basically added it to his own creations. However, it's

treats

Wow, doesn't that sound mysterious and unnamed and weird, right? Wow. So undescribable so undescribable I'm still not sure if this is a person place or thing is this huge adjective.

Or an adverb adverb a person

place or thing.

Please don't assume it's pronouns.

Adjective person, place or thing.

Why am I thinking of like, What's that old fucking show?

With deathmatch? Tool Time

chalk zone.

Keep going. I like it. This is going well. The opposite way of where I wanted to go. But I really do enjoy hearing all the old legend of the

Hidden Temple. Hey,

that's Lovecraftian as fuck

Absolutely. No, but it's like that show with the bill on the front steps and

Schoolhouse Rock School. Is

that what it is? I wanted to say that black or Black Jack Jack blacks movie? School of Rock School of Rock. No, not that. Anyways, getting back on the topic.

Black Jack's movie us School of cock.

Yeah, I've seen that. For sure.

Yeah, that was the only streaming

exclusively after this. All right, Jason. Put your cock away. Anyways,

I'm in my own house. I can do what I want. That's fair.

I can't stop you, I guess. Okay, so, that being said, now that I've read that amaze Seeing undescribable quote, basically the supernatural horror and literature discussing the yellow sign and chambers, the yellow sign, the only mention of Hastur is we spoke of Hastur and of Casilla. So judging from these two quotes, which that latter quote was very short, very, and didn't bring a whole lot to the table, seven

words, it was just we spoke of Hastur and of Kasota. But and

that's the thing they don't mention him that often. That's,

that's Lovecraft that's just so you're gonna hear just suddenly last name all over the fucking place. There are only like three stories that have anything to do with him. And that's

the thing with like, a lot of the HP Lovecraft like mythos characters, like you have these big giant stories, but the stories have like very little to do with these, like big names that we know and love. And it's because they're so sad. Like, they're like such a small part of the book. But they're like that part of the book that like, hooks, you exact part that makes you afraid of what's happening.

The one thing that Lovecraft has said time and time again, is that he brings these names and beings into existence not to like, give explanation about them. But to more give you like a focal point in where to put your dread. Yeah, exactly. Like, you have a name to think about now. Well, I don't know what it looks like, you don't know what it's going to do to you.

To me, it always seemed like that, like the name comes up suddenly enough to where it's like that like thing that's always kind of peering over your shoulder and in essence that you can it's like out of reach. Yep. You know? Oh, yeah.

It's I mean, if you've seen the newest rendition of color out of space that's like that. That picks up on what you're supposed to feel like when you are reading Lovecraft stories

perfectly. It does a great job of making you as the viewer feel helpless. Yeah, insane, stupid. It brings sanity, like sanity is a huge part of this mythos. And like, keeping that sanity and feeling like, you know, like, I don't even know how to describe it. There's it's, it's undescribable isn't it weird?

How you can describe it?

That's just fucking great. That's exactly what I needed to add. On top of my fear of sea creatures was the looming sensation that they're always looking over my shoulder. Oh,

there's constantly a great white shark right behind you. Can't see

great. Matt, have you listened to our our disturbing sounds episode?

No. Does it have throat noises? Because I'm always

all of our episodes have at least some throat noises because shots. Bias has deep sea noise it has. If you would like to find a noise to be terrified of go ahead and listen to that, because

Oh, yeah, I have listened to that, actually. Oh, yeah. No, I think I just blocked it out of my memory. Because

that makes sense. Because the Bloop is terrifying.

Bloop. Bleep. Where are we at?

I was gonna do well noises but then I realized how late it was. And I don't want to piss anyone off. But the last thing so basically, with these quotes that I just read, it's quite possible that HP Lovecraft not only recognized Hastur as one of the mythos gods, but even made him so recalling what he read in chambers book. So delyth Once entered, actually, this is this is what I was talking about earlier, when durley actually recommended to HP Lovecraft that the mythos be called the Hastur

to quote Lovecraft, that's a no for me.

I love that quote, as my favorite call from HP Lovecraft. But yeah, that's that is kind of HP Lovecraft version of Hastur and how it became to be in what we love as the Cthulhu Mythos I

would say, listening that his version isn't much different from the original because we still haven't established if it's a person, place or thing, Riley so we I feel like we haven't gotten anywhere yet. To

be fair. After what Jason's about to go over. I have a couple things I want to talk about on what Hastur is in my mind, and we'll go from there. So

it seems like right now from the mythos again, because we can't like solidify of it's a person place or thing that hacer is just sort of like an idea. It's this like idea of just I'm assuming some sort of like horror. So actually, I might be like some sort of like looming horror, you don't know what it is, but you know, it's bad here.

Okay, here's, here's how you you should think of Hester Hastur is like the aftermath of a dream that you can't remember that you have you have a feeling that you kind of know that you've experienced this thing. However, you can never know for sure.

Hester's like sleep paralysis. Yes,

it's a thing that you see, but can't do shit about,

but you don't know if it's real. And then when you wake up, you're still not sure if it's a real. But you're pretty sure that the thing happened. But you almost know for sure that it didn't they dropped it. Like he was yes, that's the best way I could describe what Hastert does.

It even behaves the same way. Like he slips in and out of reality, like

we really

hit it. Well, it's a no we say he. Yeah, it's

like, yes. Well, let's

see. Yeah, that's fair. No, no, it's

Lovecraft. So it's, uh, he?

Well, no, I just mean, like, again, we don't know if it's a person, place or thing?

Well, yes. Correct.

I was more into the fact that love crafts a sexist, racist piece of shit. But we sure you all agree on that. I feel like we just need to say at least once on these episodes, that we recognize that

as long as you know, we recognize that he

very cynical views of the public domain

aspects are probably the better aspects.

Oh, 100%. And as I will continually say he is the product of his time, unfortunately. And

that was not a good time.

Where can we find Hastur?

So this might sound very otherworldly, very, very esoteric. It's it almost sounds like we're talking about a religion that no one else might be involved in. Not true. It's, you can actually find him all over pop culture, especially nowadays. 100% it he's fucking everywhere, even if you recognize it or not. He'll appear outside the Kung Fu mythos constantly. I know. Okay, I forget the fucking name of the anime that basically gives every single Cthulhu Mythos deity like

I think that just might be tentacle porn, buddy. Yeah.

I do own four copies of Fisherman's Wife so that you couldn't be right. So has just he's both a god and a family in Marion Zimmer Bradley's dark over series, which I'm not very familiar with at all.

I am also not familiar with that. Well,

not not even remotely. I'm assuming it's akin to the Twilight series. Just by the name.

Sure. We'll go with that. Cool.

Honestly, he's in a fuckload of books, a fuckload of books. And there are people that have expounded on his nature, his origin, his personality that people have given him like a human persona at some point. He is in the Doctor Who mythos though, and that's one of my that's one of my favorite crossovers.

It's just want to say you skipped over Good Omens by Neil Gaiman. And I'm upset that you did that. Yeah. I don't care about that. Neil Gaiman is such a fucking phenomenal writer. We have to give him some credit.

Okay. Give me one of the words that he he

worked on Sandman.

Oh shit. Yeah. So in good omens by Bucky right

James McAvoy is so

bad at names. Good Omens by Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman. Hacer is a Duke of hell becomes trapped in answer in an answering machine, which honestly is offensive to Hester. If we're being honest. He either escapes when I tell him a telemarketer phones and promptly devours the entire staff of the telemarketing office.

It's it's pretty quality. Send me that because like, I'll try and find that okay. Because they do a good job. They do something and you'll you'll just just keep going keep going

just yet, please. He's in Doctor Who? Not not the show. Unfortunate. I mean, you can definitely find him in the show. If you look, there are definitely traces of him all over the place. But there's a novel all consuming fire and he equates Hastur with Fendrick which if anybody knows who Fendrick is, was Fendrick the fucking giant wolf No, that's that's Fenrir Fenrir that's what I'm thinking. That's the Nordic God devil thing

to look Fendrick up exactly. So nobody here knows who No because I got you bro shut your mouth. Then Rick, actually can I get a Can I get a rips off and wreck real quick? wreck? There we go. Finn Rick TARDIS wiki here we go Fendrick also known as Hester the unspeakable a Bluefin ran the wolf, the hunger, immensely powerful sentient force that was at least as old as the universe itself and intelligence of pure evil later had been identified

on from what you just said, I feel like Fenwick and Fenrir are very closely related.

It definitely sounded like they were trying to go with that, right. That's I haven't read this doctor who novel I'd have watched all of Doctor Who but

I have not read the novel. Yeah. So it sounds like they're trying to go with the big ol Wolf Fenrir but in yellow, I guess, the

British version,

you can also find Hastur in Stephen King, the Stephen King short story, grandma. You're gonna make me say this. Grandma. Right. I'll fucking read it. The titular grandma, he said to invokes Hastur to impregnate her when she is found to be incapable of having a child. Oh, no. Yeah, it's not great. It can be made to sleep by being told to you ready? Lie down in the name of Hastur as this is

like, this is literally interview Asha. Sit boy. Oh, fuck.

Oh, I forgot about that. Yeah, right.

Pretty much it just kind of clicked now actually. But that's exactly what I was thinking of lying down in the name of Pastor not sit boy.

You can find Hastur on Amazon Prime if you page Yeah, he's got his own channel, not a sponsor? No, it's a BBC adaptation of good omens feature and features Hastur from the book

and a features leave a tenant.

That's David Tennant, from Doctor Who

writes and that's the crossover there. I feel like all of these little connections are purposeful. You know what I mean? Because if if you looked on these bullet points, like this one and this one and this one and this one they all have like it's like a daisy chain.

I haven't been looking because I want to I want to use every time you you talk about the pop like culture reference. Jason keeps like pointing at me. I'm like, I want to know if I get Mike.

Mike this one this one is for you. This is absolutely for you. Are you ready?

Real quick if you if you're gonna finish this one. Tell us how so as opposed to the comic. Good Omens tell us how he shows up in the show. Because I think it's hilarious

are you talking about this right here? The

very bottom yes yeah, right there.

So opposed the comic? If you were to watch this show, you would see Hastur appear I don't enjoy this Doug.

I think is hilarious.

Okay, he he appears as a sentient blob of very strong coffee phenomenon and based on what we've heard so far that's but

but he's made from what the still use nest

still this use NET better does. Anybody here remembers using it? Yeah, probably me.

I'm very curious if whoever worked on the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy had some part of the good omen show? Because it sounds like that same type of British humor.

Well, it'd be Douglas Adams but you don't need

Matt Do you have any info on this is are these two related at all?

Well, no, I don't know. I was saying set me up and I just disappointed

Okay, here let's

What do I just mean like whoever was like in the writing room, but not the books but the movie The best

thing about Hollywood Enagic is I can go back and erase all of this. Place this with a very confident and strong answer if you'd like no.

Well, to be fair, the next the next thing is the next one is my You're cute. That's

totally okay. Mike Love Dragonball Z really is Yeah, it

is Dragonball Z. Now he is Goku. I'm a pastor's Goku.

I'm you heard it here first people whoa, Mike. I'm gonna give you your blue balls release in the the universe of the SCP Foundation.

Oh, we might cover my containment corner.

Oh, we absolutely are.

I hope so.

So who Wait wait wait wait wait don't tell me who is it?

Is it there's no number attached here is the actual name is it I don't think you know that

is a person place or thing

that's a person that's a hard question because it's at least two of those things you just Scarlet

King no no as far as this goes I would say this is a person is he give it a

to help person that turns into a place which doesn't help you at all. Oh hang on. No

no hang on. There's so many SDPs I was

the overeasy that that celestial like that star

no. Oh no good yes.

Actually.

The one rep said Jupiter yeah

now is

that's a great guest is yes sir is very strongly connected to the stars he Jupiter not Jupiter folk There's a joke somewhere

well we're finding it so the Hanged Man Yes actually holy shit

yeah, you got it

that I cannot believe you fucking just got

three like cosmic dudes in Sep that are in warfare.

But the Hanged Man is the Hanged king.

Oh shit. Yeah. That was close. Yeah, of

all i gotta but that part is really doesn't matter. But yes, the Hanged king and he is okay that makes them based on Hastert and the king

because the Hanged king can't that like transport util some mythic fuck what's the hang? Kings fucking

Ah, you got it, bro.

The Kings mythos is like, it's a stage play. Yeah,

this whole thing is based on a play. Yes. Yeah. The king in yellow. Yeah. Oh, yeah. The

thinking is some stage play and it's whoever plays him the don't don't give too much away when I was like the sometimes with the audience or the the

accept everybody actors aren't really watches the play? Yeah. Oh, their penises?

Oh, yeah. No, the actors are all the same thing. And we'll go over it.

so confused.

Yeah. Before we're trying to

hash out SCP. Well, that

makes more sense then. Yes. Cool. Okay.

The last brings us back to our saying you figure you

figure it out. Yeah. The one that the three of us might be most well versed in Nome is Fantasy Flight Games. Hey, Mike. You're playing mentioned the madness with me. That one or two times? Yeah, yeah, he's in that I figured out he's in eighth literally. Fantasy Flight Games basically focuses on Lovecraft and because he was mythos and basically just brings it to life and you're gonna find Hastur all over this

was that find them in games like Arkham Horror, or Eldritch Horror or?

And cinematic?

Are there any madness?

Are there any more that you're trying to surprise me with? Or is the SCP one the only good one? Oh, that's

as far as I know. That's the only SCP so I can read this

with full Oh, yeah.

Yeah. So real quick to touch on the board game thing and this is why I associate pastor in my mind with how I do is there's a Peter ball actually, no, that's not the correct person. So there's a game called Cthulhu wars and in Kung Fu wars basically you can be Hastur and a bunch of other people but if you play as Hastur Hastur is actually its own outer God or old one or whatever you want to call it. And he actually comes with a secondary lesser

end Do you know that our planner God well, okay, the major theory around that Do you know who that is? I'm not sure actually. Honestly, it's pretty obvious shrimp Lee Pyro loaded up No. Okay. I wasn't sure I mean that's a good that's a good yes. Okay. Okay. That makes it about it now the key in yellow is a product of as a Thoth dreamin and yes shares controlling both of those share

share I that's all I had. I just thought it was funny if it would be sharing Michael Jackson but no dynamic duo but the fact

that inside as ethos dream Hastur is controlling the king in yellow is very ironic to me, because he's not and one of the things you're gonna find out about Hastert is that he much like near the top he's like the one of the black sheeps of the outer gods. Oh, Have the Cthulhu Mythos like, he doesn't follow orders well, he kind of goes by his own wills and desires which change fucking minute to minute. He's very very very haphazard.

I'm actually really curious to where he was at some of these like giant wars that happened like what was Hastur doing?

I have a fucking fanfiction for you. Yeah, it's all about World War One and two. Oh, and it Oh, it's so good. So good. I'll send it to you. It's fine. I don't know aside from the so pop culture side. Let's move on to something a bit older. I don't like the classical Greek gods Roman gods. Yeah, you should do that. Yeah, so Hastur is kind of been passed in the book has kind of been equated to Saturn or Cronus Greek Roman like, is that a disease? Yes. Oh, very much so

Why Kronos? Cronus why? Cronus?

Because those are the same names but in Greek and Roman.

Well, wasn't Cronus the one that is like cursed to hold the earth on his shoulders? No, that's Prometheus. No, it's not from the heat made fire. Oh, you're right. Oh, no. Atlas. Yeah.

I was thinking of

Sisyphus

Yeah, this is Cronus is I'm done.

Just mute no mic. bonuses. Zeus Croesus Zeus his father just as far as a titan slash god yeah just

kills I can only hold one set of Gods so correctly I can't Cronus was actually

he was

he was sent to Saturn eight his son that's right there yeah. Painting

in Cronus was sentenced to walk Fuck What does it was it?

He was Gobi? Yes, the

Gobi Desert.

Like I swear to God, he had like,

Deus he had. He carried the labyrinth on his back. That's what it was.

Yeah, he had to like bear the weight of something. Yeah, the weight of the world. Deus is the one God dammit.

And that's different from Kratos who was the god of war. Okay,

well, Kratos is technically made up but he is but he also they do kind of do some accuracies to it because you do come up with the mythos

is pretty fucking accurate and it was games or bar. Boy. Interestingly, there was a Roman got a phlox called Paulus. Although not directly related to the word pallid, it's possible that it shares the same entomology from pipe hell. Gray. Interestingly, Paulus was associated with the star police Ium I'm not sure why this is in this outline.

You put it there

you are correct. Oh fuck police Ium I'm thinking through

you we're very excited about that. So I that's why I put this in there originally, I think because I did not understand mean either

and ology courses, okay, hold on. Give me a sec. Okay. The only thing that I remember or my Greek mythology professors saying silence means consent.

I took so many history classes in college.

I don't think traveling Yeah, you're you might want to alert

me that I don't agree with it. Some

references. So many places tonight?

No means yes. It silences Yes. as

well. That means yes, and yes means no.

Let's just say oh, wow.

Let's just Let's just say

that your focus professor was fucked. Oh, yeah,

absolutely. But he backed his his statement up by saying, I don't think that that's what Zeus thought, which explains why he was funny children and him fucking a goose. But he also like he turned into a cow and like, ran somebody out to see as a cow just to fuck them. Which there's questions about that.

How many gooses Do you know?

Like personally?

Yeah, just on our first day.

We meet on Thursday nights.

I have marmalade the depressed goose. We talked about marmalade Yeah, it was goose me Laurie came up backstory. Oh yeah, that's right. Tattered, fucking depressed. A goose that gives you bad advice and bad news all the time. Like, you know how a star stork brings by a baby baby. He goes by just like oh, it's like the bad news. Goose. Yeah, marmalades here. What's wrong? It's like, oh, the bad news. It's like, oh my god, Timmy stuck in a well, he's like, oh, and he's like, Oh my

to Los

like II or the goose essentially.

Yeah. You just any any type of bad news. He's the one to deliver it to you instead of giving you the good news like a stork and a baby. All right.

Do you have a good way out of this? Fuck, dude,

I got one. So it's cool. Pelle keum it looks like Yeah. Elysium police yum. I prefer my version Polycom when no one else sounds like a single K in that word sounds like periculum which is a Harry Potter spell that shoots red sparks out of your one.

Where can where can people find us Mike?

They can find us on the magical website that is linktree.com/delivery pod patreon.com/delivery pod. You can look into the internet anywhere.

If I have to say that we just bird scooter the shit out of the end of an episode harder than we ever have before

my brain.

Versus a bird scooter that was just like a dump truck

it was it was a dump truck full of bird scooters. It just ran over our points. Exactly. That's what happened.

And I've learned that I should always be unsure of whether my dreams are real or not. And there's always a creepy sea creature looking over my shoulder

shitting your tongue?
