Hey, oh, hey, howdy, he's still there. Okay, good,
what's up? This is Blurry Photo. I just want to make sure
you're really committed to listening a Blurry photos messing with your mom from the start.
I am David Flora. I am David Stecco, and this is Blurry
Photos. Welcome. We've got a basket of mystery for you. That's right,
goodies to be delivered and maybe devoured by a wolf in the woods.
Absolutely, that's that's where my mind went with that. Yeah, I mean
I recognize it. Even though I don't think I joined you on that particular
trip. I don't think anybody did. Great, So we do have we
do have some some fruits of mystery to to feed you here in this basket.
Yeah, yeah, there's some, um, there are some loaves of
mystery fresh out of the unknown oven. I mean, how far do we
go with this thing? I mean, I'll take it to the hoop.
I think that's that's about. That's it is it? Today we're gonna be
talking about lay lines. I got me all money's late lines man. Here,
Now we're sued by Eric Clapton. Oh who isn't though? Lay lines?
If you don't know about lay lines. Buckle up, Yeah, because
mystery helmet on. We're gonna we're gonna tell you. We're gonna tell you
about these things are pretty neat, pretty fascinating and at the same time believable
and unbelievable. Yeah, So to kind of dial your head in if you
have not heard of lay lines before, put this in the bucket in your
head reserved for say, the Brimuda triangle. Sort of a geographically based Yeah,
geographic based phenomena or unknown entity. Yes, well we'll talk today.
We'll touch on lay lines, We'll touch on geomancy, the planetary energetic grid
theory. Yes, that's a big one. We're gonna hit all those lay
lines are alleged alignments of ancient sites or holy places, such as Hinges Stone,
Hinge being a Hinge, Cairns churches, things like that. Tappy's geomancy
is a divination method that interprets markings on the ground or patterns of tossed soil
or rocks. Can also refer to supposed effects of architectures. Of geodetics or
geodesy, which is the science of Earth in three D space and time.
And what is that interesting foreign flavor you're getting in there. Why that's just
a pinch of fung hui that we've added into this stew because we will be
covering just a little bit of fun chui in this as well. That's right,
that that gets thrown into out of spice things up a little bit.
That planetary energy grid theory is geometric patterns on the Earth that form a grid
or matrix, with the intersecting points forming places of power. So that's what
those three those those three big overall ideas that we're going to try to hit
on today are about. And this this all just is encompassing the idea of
lines of energy that criss crossed the Earth. And this idea has been picked
up by New Age enthusiasts and archaeologists, mathematicians, occultists, and of course
conspiracists as well as Bashaw rides these things to work every day. He used
to write a dolphin until he realized they hate that. So that's that's what
we're talking about today. I hope you're hope you're going to stick around.
It's going to be a wonderful ride. We might we might have dessert afterwards.
Let's get into lay lines. Yeah, real quick, The term lay
lines was coined in nineteen twenty one by Alfred Watkins, and he discovered many
ancient sites and objects that seemed to be laid out in a straight line across
the British countryside. Yeah, he was just trying to trying to make sense
of what he was already seeing. He was just trying to say, oh,
well, how did these people get from point to point? He was
just trying to kind of put together these spots in his own home backyard,
right, And and then it was one of those classic tales of driving along
the countryside and then you stop and get out, look at your map,
like where am I? And then you look up and you're just like what
is this? There's something on that hill and then there's something, Oh I
have to bring British. There's something on that hill, and there's something on
that hill, and there's something on that hill, and they all form a
line. Time for TEA no offense to our British friends out there. We
love you guys, seriously, we really do. We aspire to be you,
even though we want our independence from you two hundred years ago. Yeah,
but um, but we've also always regretted that you're like you're like a
lover that we broke up with a long time ago. We always wonder what
if? What if? Because to be honest, we haven't done that well
on our own sense. It's true we kind of lost some of the manners.
Yep, you took all the class with you in the divorce. Well
where did we? How did we end up here? We? Well,
like I said, driving along the countryside, you stop, you get out
your map anyway, blurry photos or we expressed the regrets of a culture.
The term lay comes from the passing of such lines through places with names containing
lay in them, So you know, like Windslay Shy and Laidfordton. Great
Alfred Watkins found sites from different ages were aligned, not just like oh a
couple of people built some houses a few years ago, you know. Now
these were like Neolithic, Bronze Age, Iron Age, all these different periods
of time. There were things that were constructed on these hilltops. But basically
along this line that he traced throughout Britain. Now wouldn't one to be able
to make the argument that regardless of when in history it is, it has
always been a benefit to build on a hilltop these that these people, I
mean, without conscious plan to I mean people tend to inhabit the same areas
because of the each area probably offers benefits why people settled there in the first
place, Like what we talked about um and armageddon. Those tells, those
those those promontories, those hills that are made only because people have consistently lived
in a place for so long, right right, And I think in Britain
they call them tours t o r oh, something like they'll have sometimes something
tour Abbotsfordshire tour. I don't like tour more than tell once again, once
again, the Britains do it right, come back to us big, We're
sorry now, new agers all right, have reckoned that standing stones and other
important sites harness energy from the earth and resonate it. Yep, plenty of
accounts of like a humming sound that can be there, just overall, a
sense of good feeling when you're in these places, the euphoria brought around by
the lee energy lag energy. The types of structures that do this are called
um I'll go through a list here. The first one's called a men her
that which are just standing stones. These are not You don't go outside and
just throw a rock on the ground and you're like it's a man her These
are like the two ton stones that are standing up straight, that are like,
where did this come from? This is not like anything else in the
landscape. Here you also get a thing called Dolman's, which are stones built
to form a room. And the theory is that these were built to meditate
in so that it kind of harnesses the energy and you sit inside and meditate
and and it helps your meditation out. Yeah, all right, great barrows
are mounds with an entrance and a room inside to meditate. So this is
kind of like a step up from a Dolman. Now my understand I thought
that barrows were typically in his orically burial mounds. It could be maybe,
and maybe it's that you know, again, this is coming from kind of
more of a new age slant on it. Maybe they've taken that and co
opted into their own, uh twisted vision of happiness. We dugged in there
and got when they musty skeletons out. Now we just go in there and
sing, we said, and thank we thank for a while such thoughts I
like when the butterflies are flying. That's when you know the thing my minds
of taking me to places you could never believe. Why are the new ages
Sunday Sunday school church? Yeah, teachers, we're just trying to cram them
all together, but they are this. Whenever I was looking at this for
barrows, I always thought of John Barrowman. Is that it from Captain Jack
Harden? Yeah? Is that his name? John? Yeah? And I
wonder like, well, how did he get that name? Did he did
he clear out the skeletons? Did he go in there? Did his family
line meditate? Maybe he's family barrows like wheelbarrows? Oh gosh, there's that
map again or stop. In addition to that, you get hinges, which
we mentioned. Hinges are stone or timber that's usually arranged in a circle.
And again the classic example stone hinge, that's probably the one everybody knows,
but that's not the only hinge. There's a ton of hinges that people have
built, and apparently on ley lines. But you also get to just simple
churches or temples built along these things. Now, apparently you can identify lay
lines and places of power through dousing with rods. Dowsing is a type of
divination where you use a rod or a stick the most base foam of geomancy.
That's right, this is I mean, this is something we'll probably cover
in a later episode. Two. That's something that this is like year one
at Hogwarts stuff. You know, think of it this way. When you
see the old classic somebody's in a desert and they would have looked for water.
They get a forked stick and then they start pointing it around. That's
that's dousing. They're dousing with that stick. Now there's other forms of that.
Now I myself had done this. There's another form where you get two
wires. I'd imagine like two long pieces of like they're bent in ninety degree
to kind of form a handle, and you hold them in your hand and
you have both wires pointed straight out from you and you walk around. And
it said that when the wires cross, you're standing over water. Yeah.
Has that worked for you? Um, with mixed results. I don't know,
Like when you're a kid, you're like, it totally worked, regardless
of what I've seen. You know, I don't remember, but I remember
doing it because you know, you hear about it from some uncle or something,
and for all you know, they're just trying to get you out of
the house. Right now. Yeah, I've I've read about that too,
and it puts me in the mind of the Uiji board. Yeah, like
is something actually moving those or are you subconsciously, you know, twitching the
muscles in your fingers, right, And I if I had a guess,
I would say that the they'll also call it water witching, the dowsing,
you know, with the two wires. I think that is more believable than
Luigi board. Yeah, And to me, it's more believable even than the
forked stick as well, because that forked sticks supposed to like dip when you
yeah, or even I mean some people go so far as to say it
actually pulls you, like it points in the direction and like you can feel
a force pull you forward. I believe, like because because with the wires
at least you've got maybe some electromagnetic energy or something that can messing with them.
But dowsing. Hey, So that map that we're talking about, that's
it's got all kinds of stuff on it. So if you're dying of thirst,
all you use a couple of coat hangers, a wire cutter, and
you're off to the races. Now, these these structures, like I said,
they they they were built to focus energy from these lines and some of
them were built for astronomical purposes too. In nineteen sixty nine we get a
writer by the name of John Michelle associated He associated lay lines with theories of
mystical energy, basing them on the Chinese concept of fung shui, which we
mentioned. Now, the Chinese had a term for lay lines themselves. Did
you come across that? I did not. The Chinese called them dragon lines?
Of course they did, and in fact they had laws where peasants could
not be buried on a dragon line. Only kings or emperors could be buried
on dragon lines. Now see, now that makes sense to me. I
mean, you have already in Chinese culture the idea of chi and that there
are are lines of energy throughout the body, So why would you not expand
that and have lines of energy across the land. Sure that that makes that
makes a lot more sense to me than the Watkins UK version. Just you
mean historically, since people have built here, it must be something. Yeah,
exactly, I think. I mean it makes more sense to me that
there's the Chinese cultural version of it than Watkins kind of home brewed. Well,
I look around here and here's the theory I have for it, and
even Watkins theory was not accepted in Britain. Yeah, he wrote this book
and he tried to advertise it in archaeological um publications and they wouldn't accept it.
They would not even let his book be advertised in it because they're like,
nah, we don't, we don't buy it. That's funny. I
think that's funny because I mean that's what people have fought against throughout the ages.
Yeah, like here's something that you know, this may be really cool
or maybe maybe something we should study. And then you get the authority agency
or figure that being like, nah, you're crazy, you're a nut.
That's done. We're not gonna waste our time, right, And I mean,
and I guess for both perspectives, I can see why it didn't work
out, you know, because he's he's saying no, like these it's you're
trying to It's like trying to take an ad out for a Bible sales company
about Oh no, it turns out that Jesus with three quarters robot, you
know, like like what his theory is about these locations of these places is
based on this mystical line of energy, and you're trying to advertise it in
an archaeology publication, where these guys are, you know, gritting things out
and cleaning scientific figures. Right, Yeah, And so the two aren't going
to get along, and it's it's not entirely fair to ask one to advertise
the other in the same thing. Good point. Good point. Since then,
though, the idea of that the mystical energy and stuff has been applied
to places all over the world, not just in Britain, not just in
you know, the Chinese culture and stuff. People have started looking around and
being like, oh, look at this, this is this is a thing
South America. Yeah, Lee line crazy. So let's talk about the planetary
energy grid theory. Yeah, I want to hear about that because in my
I didn't even come across that in my research. Yeah. This the thing
with lay lines, It straddles a bunch of topics. I feel like lay
lines itself is specific to I think the Alfred Watkins, the British, you
know, the idea of the things being built in the line and stuff.
But it also sort of expands into the planet, but then morphs into a
different kind of theory. And we maybe see this as we go along here.
But the planetary energy grid theory is a pseudo scientific theory that there is
an all encompassing energy field holding the Earth together based on a combination of platonic
solids. Platonic solids being a touchhedron, a cube and octahedron, a dodecahedron,
and an icosahedron nodecahedrons not in the base ones. I guess, well,
surely there is the inclusion of the quasi rombi cosadodecahedron. Then no,
no, Well, what the hell kind of theory is it? Well,
let's get into it, because I'll tell you because I got my finger on
the bullshit button and I'm ready to push it. I know you do so.
A fellow by the name of Ivan P. Sanderson was a scientist who
identified in nineteen seventy two twelve geographic areas around the world that had mysterious properties.
And what he did was to kind of gather as much as he could
information about shipwrecks or aircraft that had gone down, and he tried to see
where the most concentrations of these were in the world. I think that's a
that's a good approach, that's a cool approach to find an anomaly. And
he found twelve places that stood out as being anomalous. And they include what
we now know as the Bermuda Triangle, the Devil Sea near Japan, the
North and South Pole Hamaklia volcano in Hawaii, and a place called the South
Atlantic anomaly. And he named them the vile vortices as in vortex. Okay,
but vile vortices that I like that. I like that. He started
off saying, well, bye, I'm gonna look for anomalies. And that's
a that's a good approach. Look for where people, you know, where
anomalous things are happening. Yeah, then using a sharpie, put a bandit
mask on the front of your issue and a strip. I've done a statistical
analysis of lives lost to unknown circumstances and bags of money with dollars signs wrected
on him. And what I call it is the malevolent hand of the unclean
one. Yeah, the vial or disease. Yea. So uh Now,
the weird thing about it was they are evenly spaced around the globe, five
in each hemisphere. And then you get the polls. Oh okay um.
And if you if you put an icsahedron inside a sphere, let's say the
Earth, you get these points on there, and they line up and they
line up with these points. Really, now, that's that's what Ivan Sanderson
said, Ivan P. Sanderson, there's a cryptozoologist named Ivan T. Sanderson,
And it was kind of hard to sift through the muck between these guys.
But Ivan P, as in Paul Ivan T. You'll get your turn,
We'll get to you. He had a pretty cool life. Apparently his
dad was killed by a rhinoceros on Safari, so Ivanta's was a pretty pretty
cool figure. Um mmmmm it I did. I did come across some information
saying his data that he gathered could have been fudged a little just to make
it fit, like he could have shoved that square peg into around. Well,
what I was thinking is how much commerce is there over the North and
South Pole that he was able to say, I mean, there is just
pretty bad weather in those places. And well, yeah, I mean but
in the hurricanes over you know, yea the Atlantic, and but like my
question, like I don't know about the other spot so much, but like
in the North and South Pole, I mean there's I guess statistically you'd say,
well, by the numb the percentage of people who travel there a lot
of people end up dying or shipwrecking or whatever. I don't know, like
those two seem a little hanky to me. Yeah, but I'm still enjoying
this tale. And it may also have to do with something with instas malfunctioning
and you know how you go through the Bermuda triangle and they're like, oh,
my instruments are just the compass of spinning, and that could happen at
the poles too, right, right, absolutely, you're going to see if
magnetic anomalies like crazy. So that makes sense, I get so he may
have been taken that. So a little later than that, Russian scientists named
Goncharov, Morozov and Makharov added a dodecahedron to the icosahedron, and they saw
that over four thousand important sites fit on the globe with this, so each
point of it, including lines that are drawn to connect them, there are
over four thousand places that are really significant across the Earth and it does.
Now is there any discussion, Like I said, I didn't come across any
of this in my research, so you are the tip of the cap floor.
But I mean, does is there any talk given to the fact that
the Earth is not actually a sphere does this kind of Uh no, I
mean it didn't. It doesn't seem to mess with their not that I saw.
Okay, all right now, I mean I have my own opinion about
four thousand important sites fitting on on this. I cosa dodecahedron that they what
they've done. But adding to that, in nineteen seventy five, there there's
a husband and wife scientist team of Bill Becker and Beth Higgins throw in another
costahedron. Why not they make a shape based So I'm sorry, I didn't
mean to interrupt you, Okay, but I'm going to so, yeah,
I totally mean interrupt you. So we started with what shape and I costahedron?
Okay, which, oh I'm sorry, I should have a costahedron?
Is um a twenty sided figure? Okay? Because all I want to do
is put this into terms of role playing dice. Well, okay, so
there's a twenty sided yeah for kin Heighten all of our friends, this is
a D twenty. They throw in there a D twelve, A twelve set
a die which is called a the dodecahedron. Okay, and then Becker and
Hagen's throw in yet another D twenty an icosahedron, and they make a shape
that's based on Buckminster Fuller's work, okay, which has been vetted chemically,
and yeah, he had Yeah, I mean, I think he would be
an interesting one to do an episode about because he seems like another before his
time figure. Yeah, it took them forever to say, yep, you're
right, you might. You might have heard of bucky balls or geodesic domes.
He had a big hand in designing those. But anyway, they took
some of his work and through through this in and that's what we kind of
have today. It's called the becker Hagen's grid, and it shows major and
minor energy nodes across the planet. So I mean, I mean, I'm
glad that we're providing the service of geometry. There's there's some shapes for you
guys. Yeah, some some not just triangles and squares. We'll get to
some debunking. I guess we'll we'll get to that in a little bit.
I mean, right now we're mostly focused on bunking. But yeah, we're
gonna bunk you here a little a little longer, a little longer, and
we're gonna then we're gonna try to flip the script and then remove that bunk.
Flip the script, remove that bunk, all right, Diggs. I
have like also like to apologize for how many times I say, Diggie Toots.
Now, I you're gonna really I am telling you only when it is
absolutely appropriate in my eyes. Well I screamed Diggie Toots in the future.
The energy that that apparently running through these lines um people have said it's some
sort of earth radiation or a mystic force field they've called it. It's similar
to what's called odic for worse or manna or ch as you mentioned earlier.
It's undetectable by instruments, but akin to the detectable to lyric currents, which
are actually observed electric currents that run through the earth. Have you heard of
telarc currents? I have never heard of telric currents. That's a that's a
thing. That's a that's an actual measurable scientific thing. I think even the
geologists and stuff have been like, yes to lyric currents, will buy that,
We'll put that in our magazine. But Alfred Watkins, yeah, no,
go back to the countryside and get lost. Yeah, exactly. The
energy from these lines it can give off positive or negative energies depending on how
you use them. And in fact, I've heard that witches can convene covens
onlines and then that amplifies the negative energy and start making that section of the
line more negative. Also, if you practice white magic on there, it
can have the opposite of So for the purpose of it, just to make
it clear, because we're just discussing the tulurc lines. When you're saying energy,
now you're talking about like a cetacean transformation energy not necessarily an actual flowing
stream of electrons, because guess so. Yeah, although the telluric might be
more along the electrons more right, I think, yeah, telarc is an
actual but the energy, the lay energy, is Bachar's ticket to Okay,
it's it's yeah, mushroom energy anyway, Um, yes, okay. Some
of the connections that people have made with lay lines, they can be observed
running directly through major cities and sites. In fact, one one of the
most popular lines that people like to reference runs directly through Mexico City, Mobile,
Alabama, Atlanta, Georgia, Washington, d C, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania,
New York City. Ever heard of it? New Haven, Connecticut,
Boston, Massachusetts, all the way across the pond to Stonehenge, bell Beck
in Lebanon, which is an ancient temple, ancient side, and possibly even
London, Munich, Damascus or ri Odd depending on how you've been the line
to your will. Yeah, but that is that's one huge lay line that
people are like, this has got to be something if it's connecting all these
cities in the world. And there's some major cities like Mobile, right,
but Mobile a city on the grove. I've been to Mobile. Mobile was
actually really nice. I had a good time in Mobile. Maybe there's something
too. I don't think Mobile sucks. I just don't think it's a major
metropolis. True, But I'll bet you the food there's phenomenal. I didn't.
I don't think I sampled the food well enough because I had like bar
food. I mean, chicken chicken tenders aren't They're universal. So that's that's
one of the connections. Uh, Freemasons, oh out may have known about
lay lines and designed Washington, d C. To harness the energy of the
lines. Really, now, this is the first I've heard. I mean,
we've discussed the Masons quite a bit. Yeah, this is the first
I've heard uh. An intersection of Masons and lay lines. I mean,
I know that they love a formulated layout. Yeah, is as London as
a perfect example of sure, the Vatican. And not to say that the
Masons and the Poper are the same person, right, but they did build
a lot of things there, you know, like they get there. Yeah,
I mean if you, if you, if you googled up DC and
Masons, then it'll it'll show you, like there's a lot of stuff that's
in the shape of a star after you get through all the pictures of Nicholas
Cage. Right, Well, we gotta wait through a lot of Cage,
I mean, and that that could be part of the whole disinformation machine that's
too close to the truth deploy Nicholas Cage. All right, let's go.
I can't make good life decisions with money, but I'm gonna keep doing movies.
I mean, Nicholas Cage, countter reeves the same person, right,
yeah? With you on that the Great Pyramid at Giza, that's an example
that is at an intersection of lay lines. Intersections are big. That's you
get a lot of temples and places of warship, churches, things like that
built on intersections of these lines. Peru is very well known for that match
you pitch you yep, and apparently from the Great Pyramid you get all kinds
You can make angles going from the tip of it that point toward other sites
like Mecca bill Beck again from from Lebanon. A Stonehenge is another one.
You can get to in in in straight lines, not just like I'm gonna
I'm gonna turn towards Mecca and point and that's and that's something crazy. Um.
I can stand at this temple and point in this direction and I'm pointing
it somewhere else on the earth. Yeah, I mean, anyway, we're
still bunking. We're still bunking, bunking. We're gonna have to ask you
to continue to suspend your disbelief for just a little while longer. Focus,
just one more, one more point I want to make, and then we
can start duchard right now wwbd. Some people think they could be landing vectors
for spurs cris. Yes, this is where this is where I hear the
most. Uh you know, Nasca lines yea, yeah, this is where
you get into that. Yep. Nasca lines are in Peru, right and
they're huge geoglyphs which they're they're mounds of earth, but they're they're arranged in
the shape of animals, but they're only viewable from really high up yep.
But yeah, you get a lot of that discussion of of like you said,
landing vectors of I thought that aliens pretty much all had vertical takeoff and
landing. But you know what, it's not for me to tell them how
to fly from from planet to planet. Who who are you to say,
man, that's that's that's the hubris of mankind. Gosh, that's why they
can't be friends with us. But Egypt is as a place that that is
I don't know, it's i mean steeped in mystery obviously, but like it's
got a lot to do with the ancient alien stuff. Zacharya Sitchen and I've
heard that the pyramids, you know, do they were like landing places for
spacecraft things like that. These if these lay lines, you know, are
are if there's anything to them being vectors for that, then you know,
that's just another that's all supporting each other in the conspiracy or yeah, you'll
finally, yeah, these theories really they do bolster each other, you know.
And you also have a hard time saying, oh yeah, alien landing
pads put not align with planetary grid of power, Like, yeah, you
can't really say yes to want to know to the other. So I'm tired
of bunking. Oh man, I'm so like, I am full of bunking.
I think we've hit as much bunk as we can pine into the bunk
full. Yeah, I'm not gonna be able to sleep tonight unless we take
some of the pressure off this. Can we can we debunk this just a
little bit? Yeah, how about the fact that lines can be drawn everywhere?
Sorry, but you know if even random dots, they there have been
mathematical and oh yeah, other other spheres of interest have have gone through the
process of throwing out specs or dots or rocks or whatever, and then they
they chart straight lines through them. And the percentage wise there are there's a
decent percentage of lines that can be drawn from you know, four or more
random spaces, and in hooray for that, you know, like what I
don't there's no meaning to that. There's no meaning to the fact that you
can draw a line and a few things. Oh if you you know,
line up approximately or even exactly. Yeah, you know, unless there is
already a pre existing meaning between those points. Yeah. Well, and some
people may argue that that's their whole point, that well, this is a
temple, and this is a temple. This is the pre existing meaning is
Yeah, I got that. I guess I can understand that argument. But
man, it gets it's it gets taken to such terrifying extremes of I mean,
like I keep looking over at this map. It's just lines everywhere.
And if you're talking about the becker Hagen's grid, yeah, yeah, and
you get there's so many lines that like, what's the point this is lines
everywhere? Yeah, it starts, it starts looking like spiderweb even more than
that. Like I picture glass shield, Yeah, like glass, that's if
it's if it's not cracked, then it's you know, a bunch of scrapes
and stuff on it. Like you know if you if you just don't take
care of a pair of glasses, you just throw them around and stuff and
the and then you start looking at them, You're like, man, there's
all kinds of scratches on this thing. Now I see everything. It's all
connect exactly. There's energy flowing through here. I mean, you get you
get too many lines it loses its meaning to me. And this becker Hagen's
grid, the nodes on there, right, and I think you were mentioning
this. Some of them, some of them are are places yeah, of
interest. Some of them middle of nowhere. Yeah, I would say eighty
percent nowhere. Yeah, they're just they're just in places that you know,
they got some stuff off the coast of Somalia here. I mean, was
it that the pirate spot is that? Yeah, the pay didn't nude um
and and the other thing that I mean, I don't know you could you
know, chicken of the egg this. But if these are these ancient ancient
societies are cognizant of these power lines, is it just that they knew about
their section of them or were they aware of all of them? The whole
thing, which doesn't seem possible because they all thought they were with was flat.
And this requires a three dimensional knowledge of the world that you can stick
your uh dodecahedron and then your icosahedron and then another icosahedron because the first one
wasn't good enough. I didn't even think of that. You know a lot
of people, but but then again, that's the unenlightened mass, right,
and and since this was these were the small few that were trained by space
visitors Nasca lines. Yeah, you know, I guess it just becomes just
a big mysterious cat chasing its own mysterious and unknowable tale. Yeah, but
they happen, those lay lines. They're a real thing that people talk about.
There's also no solid evidence that or no solid physical evidence, i should
say, of any special energy at any of these nodes or places along the
line. Yeah. And that's why I wanted to make a point of distinguishing
between you know, like a psychic ethereal energy in air quotes and an actual
flow of electrons that will kill you if you touch it. Yeah. Yeah,
I would if I were to believe that that lay lines are out there
and doing their thing. My belief is that less is more because some of
these images that we that you might find show, like you said, lines
everywhere, you know, and some people will will take Google Earth and draw
lines all different number of cities. But oh, I live here, and
I'm going to draw lines straight to the next town over. That means there's
a lay line there. Oh my my gosh. You know. And to
me, the more lines that you draw, the less meaning each line has
Yeah, agreed, Now I heard a description of lay lines. Bear with
me on this one. I can't wait. That makes for an interesting junior
high narrative, but also almost kind of makes its own sense if you're already
committed to believing in lay lines. Oh is it where all the kids go
to make out given laid lines? Ah, you still owe me? Pun
hasn't gone off yet. There was a role playing game called Rifts and that
had this. Really the basis of it was that lay lines were real and
these gigantically important things, and that there was a new in what happened is
there is there is a functional finite amount of psychic energy on the planet,
and each person contained a small a portion of it, and whatever wasn't contained
by a person flowed through these lay lines, these these large, arching channels
of energy, and as the planetary population grew, that energy was dispersed through
more and more people, thus making the lay lines weaker and weaker. And
so while you hear about them more historically and people would discuss them and build
their temples along them, but as you know, you get into the Age
of Enlightenment, is as the global population goes up, these things become more
and more difficult to register or understand. And so and the theory of and
I repeat the role playing game was that once you get to you know,
where do we at now? Like six seven seven dollion people, it's so
diffused the psychic energy and the planet that no one has enough to light a
candle. Wow. But there is a catastrophe there, a nuclear war where
suddenly billions of people all die at once, releasing this torrent of psychic energy,
and all of a suddenly lines spring to life and arching psychic energy all
over the earth. And it's so tumultuous that these rifts start opening from other
dimensions because it's just all of a sudden, a full out of psychic energy.
And now you know, there's robots and aliens and and that's when you
start rolling dice and killing things. Wow. Goes pretty cool. But it
also, I mean, in its own weird way, kind of makes a
little bit of sense. If that's something you're pre inclined to believe in.
I like it. Yeah, I like that a lot. Yeah. I
mean, you gotta wonder, because it just seems like every every day people
are getting dumber. True, I know, I am. That's why blurry
fo is such a good community service. Yeah exactly, we're doing it for
you people. That's that's really neat. And I wonder if that grew out
of an idea of a theorist of the paranormal, you know what I mean.
Yeah, exactly, I mean it was a good incorporation of it.
As a matter of fact, while we talk, I'm kind of bringing it
up here. I forgot that there is even a class in the game called
the line walker, Wow, and they travel along the lay lines and so
yeah, so that was, you know, it was a thing that I
just when we were when I was doing the research, that came back to
my mind. I was like, oh, yeah, it was a lay
line yeast thing right up this alley. For me, the jury's out on
this one, I think because the more the more maps I see with tons
of lines, the less I believe it right. And also the more maps
I see that say, these are energy nodes and things like that, and
they're just they're in the middle of the ocean, or they're like the typical
artica or someplace you know that nobody's ever talked about being weird stuff happening at
Yeah, this to me, it feels a lot more like a religious belief,
which could be just as real, you know, to the people who
believe in it, but it doesn't seem to really hold up. It doesn't
seem to have as much there's not enough, in my opinion, there's not
enough information to even make it a mystery. It's more like a story.
Yeah, yeah, more like a tail. Yeah, it's a lore.
It's lore. Well, it's cool idea. I think it's I think it's
very fun. And who knows, maybe maybe the Mason's, maybe our friends
that the Illuminati know about this and how to harness it, and that's why
they've designed their cities and stuff like that in that certain way. Um there's
even the crazy theory that nine to eleven was was due to lay line,
like that lay Line was thrown in the mix for nine to eleven. Yep,
I hear that um Obama was born on a la line that transported him
magically from Hawaii to Kenya. I didn't hear any of that. It's made
that up. But that's that's lay lines. Ergy brings it up. You're
like, yeah, I heard about that once. Puns Hi, how about
puns. Yeah, let's let's do some puns. All right, I got
one, All right, I got one, and I'm going first because I
want to make sure that I get to steal the actual use of the phrase.
Oh yeah, it's the lay line. It's a phone dating line or
um amorous singles in your area. You can't get away from using lay line.
And I know, I know. That's why I one to go first,
so that you seem like the one who's stealing. Great, because I
couldn't. I couldn't get away. I couldn't come up with two puns without
one of them being right lay lines. So mine is a pottery store called
the clay Lines. Oh see, that's way better. You at least changed
a word. I couldn't even do that. I added a C. I
didn't even change a word. I'm pretty much added changed an E from an
an. I've got one. It's a home flooring company that will uh isolate
problem spots in your house. It's called the Tile Vortices. That's how you
do it. Yeah. Uh, I've been so long trying to think of
a right, the right one for this, and the one that I got
is so bad. I can't wait because of all the good puns that we
have it's it's a direct competition with Menard's and Home Depot. That's right,
Tile Vortices. I can I can see the cheaply made video that's on.
Oh yeah, like a bad like three D graphics thing. They're like these
these parts of the home are constantly left dirty and unused. We have isolated
them using our proprietary home ins of software. Taking an icosahedra and inside your
home and you get like a really attractive local girl to be your spokesman walking
through the aisles showing you all the tiles they've got and stuff. That's uh,
because it happens Hi. I'm an average customer. When they first showed
me the dodecahedron, I thought that made might be onto something. When they
put an icosahedron into that, I knew I had signed with the right company.
Uh, this is this just turned into the weakest dismount. Um.
It just just called passing out in the saddle. You just fall off the
horns. Let's hear how loudly your face slaps the ground. Come on,
all right, all right? So this is also from the the Vile vortices
Um. This is a coffee shop called the Vile Javanese. Not a successful
coffee shop at that. Our coffee is violent, but they know where to
put their shops. Yeah, that's true. They mapped out the entire United
States. You ever had green coffee? Come on in. We have all
the convenient locations. Literally wherever you thought we should be. That's where we
are. Guess what what? We got a pun this week? Shut your
butt, I will not. Here's the pun. Sound all right? I
joined the children and they're excited. Man, there there is almost excited it
as we are to get a pun. Almost get a job kids. This
pun is sent sent to us by user Annie Hey Black Annie, Hey Annie,
I'd like to welcome you back to the podcast. This is Dave Stecko.
Just I just wanted to say, hi, how are you doing?
Hey? This is David. What's up? Um? So? I don't
know. Did I come on too strong? U? Annie sends us a
pun that was apparently inspired by Bahamamma's last pun. Oh great, our listeners
are yeah, this is how a community is born. This is right?
Uh, okay, so here it is. Jeremy was from West Oh.
This is about the rescute and episode. Okay rah rah rasp of your time.
I can't believe that we'd never mentioned that song in there. I know,
and and and I just put it in. It's awesome. It almost
makes it. It's it's like you're implying that you wrote it, and I
like that. Nope, Um, all right. Jeremy was from West Virginia
and had a speech impediment that made him start all his statements with a pr
sound. He owned a car that he nicknamed Dub. He would let his
sister Ovia borrow it, and one morning he found it crashed into ravine.
He was so angry that instead of confronting her directly, he made his mother
be the middleman, and he said to his mother Praskovia Fyodorovna dubbed Rovina,
I don't get it. I don't get it. There was a setup that
maybe I didn't follow closely enough. I think the inspiration from Bahammamama was that
to set up to write, to write a short story. Well, yeah,
I mean it was just uh, it was just icing on the cake.
Yeah. And the name obviously is is from the woman that are right.
I didn't know that part. I got that, but I don't understand
what the auto accident comes into play. The the car was named dub and
it was crashing a ravine, so it was double ravina. Okay, that's
where that was fjord rovna, double ravina. And then he starts everything every
sentence with pr so asked Okay, okay, now, Annie, thank you.
And I have to make this very clear. Just because I didn't understand
it doesn't mean it's not great. You clearly put a lot of work into
that, and you created a very intricate and delicate thing. And I am
a ham fisted lummocks. I don't appreciate delicate things very well at breakham.
That's true. Uh wait, wait wait, I'm kind of a bad boy.
Annie. You don't want to get mixed up with a guy like me
because you're gonna get hurt. So that was that's why I didn't get it.
Um, I thought it was great, Annie, and thanks thanks for
sitting again. I did think it was great. Just did you get it
at first? I'd ever explained, you're lucky because you get to read it,
you're getting see it all and Reap, you're right, you're right.
I don't have this printed out in front of both of us like I probably
should, so I'll get a running order next week and we'll get this stuff
taken care of. But please send in more puns. It was great no
matter what's your inspiration. Yeah, please do. Let's let's let's have some
more go on and tell us how how awful we are so that we can
put ourselves in the penalty box. Yeah exactly. We did we make any
factual errors the answers? Yes? Can you find them awesome? You know
what's weird getting just touching back on the the energy aspect of like how you
can transform negative positive energy of these lines and stuff. It's it would be
interesting to to do an experiment to see if you can change some of one
of these lines that that's popular, like say the Mexico City to to the
New York uh lay line, you know, the one that rins through Boston
UH and DC and sure Atlanta. What if you what if you just stationed
a bunch of practitioners of of white magic. Well, Wickens can jump in,
they do white They are our only practitioners of magic, all right.
So you stationed a bunch of wiccans and along this line, and like they
all they all have a certain time there that they all start performing the same
ritual. Uh. So so they get this rich ritual of white magic performed
along this line. I mean, what if what if that does something?
What if it changes the energy of those lines and New York DC, you
know those are pretty famous for crime, Mexico City, Yeah, drugs and
vice. What if those lines were already white? What if they were already
great positive and this is like this walk these lines are like what's keeping it
from all of those cities from becoming thunderdome? It could be then. I
mean, I don't think a practice like this would hurt No, I don't
know, you know. I mean that's just something if if you if you
go down is the tagline of WICCA. I don't think a practice like this
would hurt man. I'm sorry. I don't mean to pick on the Wickens.
I don't know why I do it. It's my own nice I'm still
waiting on a photo of a hot wicken. So so get on at you,
guys. Doesn't have to be a photo of you, like, you
know, just send us a picture. I don't know, probably not a
drawing, although we'll take it. Yeah, but I would love to see
a drawing. I'd prefer it as a matter of fact. But a way.
It's the wicking you want us to see, not the wicking you have
on hand. I don't know, that's just that's my my brain going down
the rabbit hole, yeah, saying why not give it a shot? I
mean these places are in a pretty bad way in a lot of spots anyway,
So yeah, why not? Why not hurt? I do that.
So that's that's it for this episode for you. I hope you stuck with
us. Uh, go go to our Facebook page. Yeah, I might
tell tell us about the home that you belt on a la line in your
experiences. Yeah, yeah, that's not a bad idea if you've got any
any energy reading through the ground under your feet. Yeah, Oh, almost
forgot. We've got some um some listener mail. Um. This is from
uh d Diggity. Uh Dave Stecco is the best Dave Flora smells like old
socks. Exclamation point, smiley faced dignity. Okay I made that one up,
damn it. Well we knew it wasn't real because the sound didn't play.
Oh my god, it's right. You're so correct, you know,
only Yeah, you'll always know because we have the registered trademark listener listener mail
sound. But you guys can hear that sound if you send us some frigging
mail. Yeah, just do it, Just send us something say hi,
Well, we we'll love it. Well, I mean you'll see how excited
we get. You'll hear it. Yeah, it's it's like when like prisoners
in jail or or you know, in World War two, you know,
and soldiers in the front get mail call. That's what we do. We
giggle and we clamor and we read them over and over and over, and
we get really obsessed about it. We carry it with us and until we're
dead, and then we can pass it off to the partner saying make sure,
make sure they get this back home exactly. But you can do that
through our website, blurry photos dot org. Just go to the contact page
there and fill it out real quick. Doesn't take long. No, we're
not gonna do anything with you your mail address, like we've said before.
Yeah, that's that's literally nothing, literally quite literally absolutely literally um unless you
ask us too, of course. But we've got yeah, we've got that
Facebook page that we're climbing up there slowly. Yeah, thanks thanks to our
new likers. Do I feel good to get in on the ground floor.
Of something that's going to become a cultural phenomenon. Yeah, exactly. You
could say I was one of the first man. Yeah, I knew those
guys when when they were half as cool as they are. Yeah, when
we're a really big deal and we're getting interviewed, we'll talk about our Diamond
Platinum plus listeners and that'll be you and um, don't laugh. It becomes
not real una like those Diamond Platinum regular listeners. God they suck plus though
only eight dollars a month. Um. Yeah, iTunes, we're on there.
Subscribe ratius and write a review if you want. That's that's another ground
floor Twitter. We're also on I should mention that blurry underscore photos. We
toward stuff all the time. Well, we we do for every episode,
and when we have something better to say, we will we'll twit some more
toward it. But other than that, we'll get a YouTube page up and
running soon. That way, if you if YouTube's your thing, you can
you can listen to the episodes on there, and we might even make some
stupid videos into your future. Yeah we might. There's the there's been a
lot of clamoring for a video of David and I just making out for ten
minutes. I don't know if that's going to happen or not, but you
know, stay tuned. Yeah, we'll all stay tuned for that. But
for this episode of Blurry Photos, I have been David. Don't lay my
line, Flora, and I have strategically placed myself as David's taco in a
position of power. I could have been David the Nude. That's a really
good pot too. That's kind of like the Dominoes thing devoid way back in
the day. Hey bye by
