O T H E G. Hello. I'm Citrine Bonafaci and I'm Benjamin Spelk,
and welcome to Remote Previewing. Yeah, Citrin and I are gifted with
this power of psychic foresight, and we use it to tell you about movies
that haven't come out yet. Let's just get run into it because it's summer
blockbuster season coming up soon. It totally is. Citrine, Now tell me
what have you been gifted to share with us? And I want to point
out at this point that while what we are going to be sharing with you
are our psychic impressions that the universe is gifting us with that they sometimes are
open to a small amount of interpretation. Citrine. Yeah, And so to
start out this episode, we're going to remote preview Antman. That's right,
ant Man. It doesn't come out in gentill Lie seventeenth, so you'll have
plenty of time to think about what we tell you. So what happened and
Aunt Man was really exciting. It's gonna be a great summer blockbuster. But
you know what I felt that was lacking in it were hornets. There weren't
enough hornets. That's right now. What I came out from the Emerald Dream,
I was left with several very vivid impressions. Aunt Man is a story
about a very very small man who wishes he was very very big and important.
But that might not only be physical, it could simply be emotional.
So look for a character as the lead to be less than five foot six
inches tall, or as many as eleven feet tall. So I believe I
would have to give this movie a yaw must say, Oh my goodness,
I do not want to fill this space with negative energy, but I'm afraid
that what I saw was a carnal ritual of money, greed, violence,
and degradation of our insect brothers. And I have to give this a na
must stay. Although I respect you and your energy, and I think that
you are just so enlightened. Thank you, Thank you for your preview,
Benjamin, and now on to our next preview, which is Star Wars episode
seven. Now, we have been previewing this movie for you for no less
than six years because the psychic reverberations from this work have reached to every corner
of not only our spectral guides, but those of others we know. I
have to say my favorite part is when Darth Baggie gets defeated. It really
left an indelible mark on my soul when I felt the scene happened. From
the moment I was guided into the astral Projection booth to the very moment I
was politely but firmly asked to leave, all I saw was wonderment and entertainment,
and so I was left with so many multiple impressions of an amazing work
that I think sometimes happens in space or even underwater. Too soon to tell,
I think people will be really surprised by the red Yoda that shows up
Citrine. Is this the same red Yoda that you saw stealing all the scenes
in Silver Linings Playbook that they were forced to edit out once you'd revealed the
secret? It's the same one. Is this the same red Yoda that you
saw playing the fiery hearted abolitionist preacher in Twelve Years a Slave that once again
they were forced to edit out once you revealed the secret. It's the same
one. At least the same actor. I don't understand why they left that
scene out. It was such a powerful scene in that movie. Clearly Hollywood
is afraid of the world falling in love with Red Yoda. I'll have to
say I give Star Wars Episode seven a yamast, stay oh and blessed be
because I can totally agree with you. Yamas, stay, Oh, light
and love. That's all the time we have right now for remote previewing.
I have been Citrin bone Fassi and I am Benjamin Spell. Join us next
time as we peek beyond the veil of the literal timeline and take a peek
at Captain America Civil War. Citrin, can you give us a little tease?
You're gonna love Red Yoda in it? Goodbye, Goodbye. I can't
wait to see you eat Red Yoda in San Man. Spider Man three,
Uh Centrins plagued by visions the Notebook two. Can't wait for Red Yooted to
be in there. Hello everyone, Hey, peeps up. I'm David Flora,
I'm David Stacco. Welcome to Larry Photos. We've got a preview for
you. Yeah, we do of amazing things to come. Mostly in this
episode hopefully not over an hour and a half. God running in the creek
don't rise every every season. Our cut off point just keeps expanding. Yep.
It's like a fat old gut just squeezing out that we're gonna have to
poke holes in our bail. That's gross. Welcome to stormy, rainy Chicago.
Yeah, it's crazy around here. We got a lot of stuff going
on. How did dig out a dream? It sounded like you said,
dig out a dream? What's the doof? What's the doof? And stacco
digging out a dream? What's the name of my acoustic folk album? Let's
talk about what we're gonna talk about, which is remote viewing, remote viewing,
remote viewing. I want to view, but I don't want to see
you with my eyes. No, they lie, So I'll be in my
disguise in another continent, which lies in the mountains. Remote viewing, Okay,
secret track on our album. Uh, we're gonna talk about what remote
viewing is. We're gonna talk about the history of it, who done it,
what they've seen, and we're gonna talk about now. I really really
thought there was gonna be a triumphant. It felt like a trumport it didn't
win that triple crown and h and numb mind not do shoot walk. We're
gonna talk about, uh, some explanations for it. Is it real,
could it be possible? Does it? Does it do? And if we
have time, we might even try remote viewing ourselves. Yeah, we're gonna
give it a shot. Super legitimate, all hands on deck, legitimate,
let's give you, let's give you an overview then, yeah, talking about
remote viewing. Remote viewing is a form of clairvoyance by which a viewer is
said to use his or her clairvoyant abilities to view, i e. Gather
information on a target consisting of an object, place, person, etc.
Which is hidden from physical view of the viewer and typically separated from the viewer
in space by some distance. Sometimes it's separated by time. Now and this
this kind of kind of is in one of those lock arm square dance dozy
do kind of maneuvers with astral projection. Also, near death experiences people leaving
their bodies and seeing themselves from a different perspective. So there's this kind of
has a little some branches into some other areas. But what we're focusing on
here is really the the idea of a person sitting in room A and observing
room B. Yeah, that's a good way to put it. It's a
unique form of clairvoyance, and that the viewer is blind to the target,
having been giving little to no information on it. Although believed by some to
be one of the oldest forms of psionics, it was developed by parapsychologists at
the Stanford Research Institute in the nineteen seventies. Remote viewing involves a belief in
the projection of consciousness to remote locations and is considered a pseudoscience by mainstream scientists.
Mainstream, according to the International Remote Viewing Association, despite the viewing part
of the term, remote viewing is only partly about experiences associated with what might
be visible about a target. The rest of it's about the friendships you makes,
right, those are the real treasure. It also involves mental impressions pertaining
to other senses such as sounds, tastes, smells, and textures, as
well as limited telepathy like effects, and in some cases just plain intuitive knowing.
You just know when you know it. You know it now. You
mentioned this. But here's a couple of things that remote viewing is not.
It's not a pure out of body experience, nor is it a meditative dream
or trance state. Viewers are always awake and alert, and early methods developed
five components needed for remote viewing to happen. Blood of the innocent. Number
one as subject, also known as a viewer. This is the person doing
the viewing. Number two active esp a bill makes sense? Yeah. Number
three A distant target. All right, okay, so distant yeah, not
not something you can see in the room, emotionally distant. Number four the
subjects recorded perceptions, so I guess somebody else in the room to take down
whatever the person says or feels. And number five a confirmatory positive feedback like
hey, man, you did it. Yeah, wait, you crushed it,
nailed it. Bro Oh so yeah, it has to be confirmed that
you saw the thing. Yes, does it? Sure does? That's important,
guys. Number five. At the height of the Cold War, the
CIA decided to experiment with a remote viewing for espionage purposes and also because they
believe the Russians were gaining ground in thacic abilities. Yeah. And I you
know, we've run across this a few different times and researching different things,
and when we run a process, I'm always faced with this this this fun
moment in history where I mean, come on, you know, like we're
coming off the Nixon administration. There's not a lot of whimsy in the White
House. Yeah, you know, and yet the threat, the idea that
what if? What if psychic abilities are real? And the Russians have embraced
this and they are beating like yeah, I mean how all you had to
say is there's a gap. The Russians are doing it and we're not.
That's how you get anything funded for thirty years. Yeah and blam, you
get remote viewing research, you get psychic research because of this this threat,
and and oh, I just know there's some general going damn, and I
have to do this because it's my ass if are wrong, you know.
Oh yeah yeah. At the time, projects such as Stargate, Sun Streak,
Grill Flame in Center Lane were launched, and formal US government involvement in
such activities lasted from nineteen seventy three to nineteen ninety five. Yeah, well
into the nineties. That's Postcobaine times. Yeah, it's in. That's into
old old slick Willie. Then sure is. I said, I'm just sick
and tired of people trying to revolt view what's going on in Willie's life?
Shut it down. I want to view it in person. I don't want
no one looking at me. If you can't view it in person, you
don't deserve to say it. It's right shot down. You got this.
We're our list of presidential limitations grows. Next up Ovalorifus Herbert Hoover. Hey,
Hey, He's like, what do you want back? For no reason?
Oh? Okay, um us christ. Remote viewing has also been called
remote sensing, traveling, clairvoyance, and telesthesia. Oh just throwing that out
there, that's your overview. Not so brief. Let's get into the history.
That's where you get a good portion of this. Flambe flaman. That's
a girl fire, Dude, that's a girl fire. That's what gives it
its taste. It can be argued that remote viewing has been practiced throughout the
ages, including an account by Herodotus. According to research done by author investigator
Rosemary Ellen Guiley, Herodotus wrote of Croesus, the King of Lydia, who
in five fifty BC tested seven oracles to see which was the most accurate.
Hi, I'm crisis today. We're going to test seven oracles to tell you
who's the most accurate, who can see the future, and who can help
you, and who's just wasting your time? You're in the crisis center.
You ventured, I like that, um. Each each of these oracles was
asked by messengers to tell what the king was doing at that moment on the
day of inquiry, So seven messengers went out and they were like, Hey,
what's this king doing right now? Dude? Yeah, now, now,
given the fact that they couldn't know to the minute, that meant like
to test it properly. The King was like, Okay, today, bird
calls all day. The Delphic oracle was of the clear winner, apparently correctly,
telling of the tortoise and lamb stew in a cauldron that Crosis was preparing.
Wow, it's pretty specific, pretty specific, and unless he ate that
every day, My question is why was Crosis preparing his own food rights the
king. That's the whole point is that he had to be doing one thing
the whole day to make sure that they could tell or at that's or like
that hour or yeah, or every every single guys are like he's in the
bathroom, yeah, or like statistically he's having sex because he's the king.
Right, you know what he's thinking about ruling, that's what he's thinking about.
What he's thinking about money, Yeah, because he's crosis. Well anyway,
the Oracle of Delphi. In eighteenth century Sweden, a guy by the
name of Emmanuel Swedenborg, scientist, theologian and mystic, was renowned for his
clairvoyance. When I go psychic, I'm David Americ Cannington, It's all right,
I'm David USA Town, the third junior Junior USA Town, Junior junior
philosopher Immanuel Haunt, because everybody at this point is named Emmanuel. M Manuel
Kent was a real pissant. It was very rarely stable. Diggerud Digger was
a boozy beggar. If you drink you under the table. John Kit couldn't
consume. Wittenstein and slagel Rena. I don't know if I got all those
words right. Well, you were close, and you had the melody thank
you, bless your Manto, Python, bless you. Emmanuel Kant recorded an
incident from seventeen fifty nine in which Swedenborg had attended a dinner party in Gothenburg.
What a time to be alive. At one point, Swedenborg left the
room, and came back a little later in a state of anxiety, saying
a fire had broken out in his hometown of Stockholm. He remained agitated for
several hours, often leaving the room and coming back and reporting on the fire's
progress, until at last it was put out before reaching his own house.
The next day, the governor of Gothenburg summoned him to ask him about the
fire, the details of which Swedenborg related to him. Two days later,
the governor received official word on the fire from Stockholm, describing it exactly as
Swedenborg had. Whoa how about that fancy arsonists? Ravens, I'm calling Ravens
on it. Oh, it's a ballsy man who calls Ravens on a Swedenborg
on a Swedish guy. In the late eighteenth century, magnetists or if you
were a column mesmerists maybe, discovered that many of their hypnotized subjects could give
detailed accounts of distant locations, people, activities, and even inside stomachs and
brains. Weird, which, by the way, if you look inside a
brain, what do you you just like? Well, it's pretty gray here
too, you know what's great? Great? Here? Nope, Oh,
that's just a place. This looks like the universe. No, it's just
great. In the late nineteenth century into the early twentieth century, many people
were fascinated by remote viewing, including a founder of the Society for Psychical Research
in London, W. H. Myers, and the English physicist Michael Faraday
and American writer Upton Sinclair, all interested in remote viewing in one way or
another, Probably because he was working. He had the idea for the Jungle,
but really didn't want to go to Chicago and work in a stockyard,
Right, why would you even go there? Couldn't I just sit in my
polo and somehow view it from a distance. I'm listening. I don't want
to get cheated out of all my money, and yeah, that's right,
be poor and an immigrant. Did I ever tell you my story about the
Jungle? When I moved to Chicago almost ten years ago, I had never
I didn't know anyone in Chicago. I didn't know really anything even about the
city. And the extent of my research was I read The Jungle, which
it's like, on one hand, you're like, well, dude, it
was like a hundred years ago, you know, when things are a little
easier now, But It's still put this idea in the back of my head
that everyone was trying to swindle me and if I didn't get a job in
a week, I was going to die. Yeah, which ended up being
very true. Yeah, that's how it worked out, very true. I
became a pickpocket in the nineteen seventies. Remote viewing, however, began to
be researched formally. In nineteen seventy one. The American Society for Psychical Research
I like the words psychical for me too, Yeah, conducted various PSI experiments,
including out of body and psychokinesis tests. One of the subjects of these
experiments was Ingo Swan, a psychic an artist from Colorado. Nice home.
You know a lot of INGOs in Colorado. Yeah, yeah, that's a
regional, very popular Ingo. Oh you're probably from Boulder, then, whoa,
look at those squinty eyes. I'm getting we don't talk about Boulder,
Sorry, Boulder. I went to Colorado State. The Fort rules the state.
The Fort doesn't rule anything, but it's still pretty cool. The Fort
for collins Man. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm sure that's
place. I understand the reference. I understand the reference. Friend. Ingo
Swan was apparently able to accurately describe the current weather in various US cities using
only the Internet. In the seventies, Internet remote viewing, actually the actual
term remote viewing was coined then, WHOA getting into a timeline here? Nineteen
seventy two, Doctor Harold to put Off a physical A time to be Alive,
a physicist at stan at the Stanford Research Institute and at the time a
practicing scientologist a lot of sources, like to point out, had an interest
in paranormal abilities, and contacted Swan to help him research remote viewing. Along
with put Off, research physicist Russell Targ also studied remote viewing with Swan and
eventually attracted the attention of the CIA the Best Last Names Ever episode. Eventually
my name is Russell tg TG, like the cling on animal beast Targ.
They say that Kat tugs one bad mother, you dick, he son of
a bitch. I thought we were a team. I thought we were a
team. For the listeners, he made eye contact as though he was gonna
save me with the shut your mouth, and then he didn't. Podcast trust
Fall failed. That was glorious, glorious, you know what? And I
had stopped whipping stuff at his balls. I had stopped. It was done.
Gay, Yeah, we'll bringing it back to that the whole reason it
started up again. Let's see Tard Russell start. They eventually attracted the attention
of the CIA. After some evaluations, the CIA award of the team a
fifty thousand dollars exploratory contract. Sweet For the next two decades, most remote
viewing research was funded by the government and performed in secret. What a glorious
scam. That is awesome. Yeah, well, good on them. We
need to convince the government that they need to do podcast research. And who
can they Who can they trust more than than Dave Stecco and his co host
Flora USA Town, Washington, USA Town. The third the name is Liberty
Democracy. Would you see, people? You cut it down? You cut
it John lib dem is a Liberal Democrat. People, you gotta see through
the veil. In the mid seventies, government support for the growing remote viewing
program moved from the CIA to the Defense Intelligence Agency. US intelligence sources believe
the Soviet Union was researching psychotronics. Cucolo sound, it is such a thing
even possible? Yes, it is points replacement, and that we had better
catch up. This was based partly on the reputed abilities of Nina Kula Guina,
who we talked about in the Psycho Kinesis episode. I don't remember Nina
Kola Ghina because it sounds like might make up if I was trying to make
up a name to a cop. It also could have been helped by some
of the apparent soul searching that took place in the American military post Vietnam.
Think about that, just a lot of people going well that could have turned
out better. In nineteen seventy eight, the US Army created a unit to
use remote viewing operationally and collecting intelligence against foreign adversaries in a project first termed
Grill Flame. It was redesignated Inscom Center Lane in nineteen eighty three, and
in nineteen eighty five the funding it was receiving from the Army was terminated.
It was picked up by the DA redesignated Sunstreak, continued until nineteen ninety one,
when most of the contracting was transferred to the Scientific and Technical Intelligence Directorate
and renamed Stargate. I would just love there's this moment where all of the
people are just like, well, it was a good run. I can't
believe it worked. Yeah, that was crazy. And somebody comes in.
He's like, you know, center lane's over, like yeah, we know,
we're packing up. It was oh. He just tried to view it
as they're smirking and looking at each other and they're like, yeah, you're
gonna need to leave to go to this building. You're now sun Streak.
What you've been redesignated sun Streak and refunded by a different branch of the government.
I just then later on, okay, all right, it was it's
been a fun decade. Okay, you're now stargate and working for this branch
of the government, at which point they start really feeling bad. I got
it. They overpay their taxes. In nineteen ninety five, it was transferred
back to CIA oversight. A report was done which found it to basically be
a waste of time and money, and the program was canceled and declassified.
Yeah, that's one of those. Like okay, when the file came back
over, someone was like, yeah, waiting to wait, wait, what
what what are we doing? What have we been doing for twenty years?
No? No, no, no, come on, guys, drive us
come on. See it's it's it's it's a responsibility to find the right moment
for sound effects. You can't just just throw a sound effect and screaming goat
sound. Yeah, we're gonna use that for the ghost stories. So during
the project's time and Operation Ingo Swan helped train active military and domestic remote viewers
at Fort Mead. I mean military and civilian, sure, because I mean
they're all domestic. Right, you get what I'm sitting in because I'm getting
what you're sitting in at Fort Meade, Maryland. And some other key personnel
include the following. This is not a comprehensive list. This is some major
names associated with remote viewing and all that stuff. Here we go, Major
General Albert Stubblebine. A you're such a nass. What a time to be
a life? Albert Stubblebine. That guys in the military, because he got
they kicked out of him. Altar Junior High, who was a key sponsor
of the research. Internally at Fort Meade. They called him al but he
was convinced of the reality of a wide variety of psychic phenomena. He never
mastered walking through walls, although he did greatly bruise his nose in New Morris's
attempts oh, his poor poor nose. In the early nineteen eighties, he
was responsible for army intelligence as well. This will be a good time to
bring up the movie. Oh yeah, The Man Who Stare At Goats.
Yeah, I've read the book. I read the book years ago and I
enjoyed it. I actually haven't seen the movie. I've got the movie.
You can borrow it, thank you. Funny funny parts in it. I
haven't read the book, so we're we have nothing to talk about. Nothing.
But yeah, there was this belief that if you trained your mind,
you could kill with a thought, and so these guys would stare at goats
and that was their target. They'd kill a goat. Yeah, they trained
the brain. Oh my god, screaming goats sound. Yeah, I'm so
glad I established it before we were got to this party. That was why
they wanted to kill them as because they just s all that the movie is
based on this whole thing. Yeah, the characters are based on real people.
They're not the same names. YadA YadA, that's not you know whatever.
It's a No, animals were harmed in this fictional story, right,
based on true events. Well, again, I just read the books,
so I don't I don't know. Well, the book would be the same
way, right, Well, I don't know. The movie could be further
fictionalized. I don't know the book was I believe like describing things as people
relay them, same names and everything. I think so, And as far
as I know that, because as far as I know, you know,
you know, the people were being honest, as far as anyone can tell.
So I don't know. Okay, Well, there is a character that
he actually starts out the movie running into a wall, like just bashing himself
into a wall because he thinks he can run through it. I read it
years ago, so I don't should be told, and I tried to find
it my bookshelf, and I think my girlfriend gave it to me and I
read it and then she's long since taking it back, but I thought I
still had it when I was wrong. It's wrong. Sorry, bro,
Sorry, you have a girlfriend sorrow me too, me too. No,
I'm not, I am not sorry. There was also Lieutenant Frederick Holmes Skip
at Water, who was the first operations officer of Stargate until nineteen nickname Deuce
Biggins at Water. Yeah, lots of names going on a lot of these
projects. People will refer to them as Stargate because that's what I ended up.
That was the last in designation it had before everything shut down, So
people just referred to the whole collective as Stargate, which isn't confusing for anybody,
right but SKIP was in charge of it until nineteen eighty seven. How
about Joe mcmonagle. You heard of this guy, like a low red professor
McGonagall. In the early nineteen seventies, Joe had a near death experience that
bestowed him with exceptional psychic powers and widely considered a natural. Joe has stated
that remote viewing ability is predominantly determined by innate talent, and that comes into
conflict with a lot of other remote viewing proponents right Well, it's also directly
in contact conflict with making money off of being a reviewer, because if if
you can't run a workshop, if you can't have a panel, if you
can't have a weekend in Hawaii where you're all supposed to hang out with dolphins
and communic can't meaningfully not naming names, that cuts in on your residuals.
So you know, I can see why people would take umbridge to that belief.
There's also Pat Price, who was a former Burbank, California police officer
who participated in a number of Cold War era remote viewing experiments. You'll hear
that name here and there, and then that brings us to Ed Dames,
who was one of the first five who would love a boy. Dames,
who were trained by Ingo Swan in the Coordinate Remote Viewing protocols What a Time
to be Alive, quickly established a reputation for pushing Coordinate Remote Viewing two extremes
with target sessions on Atlantis, oh mars, UFOs and Aliens. Cucolo sound
is such a thing even possible? Yes, it is. Many in the
unit despised him for this. I know I would anything that brings me to
a cucolo sound. I've got a little resentment towards Joe mcmonagle has expressed the
opinion session feedback is required to learn CRV and this could not be up tained
when targeting such unverifiable locations. That's true, like surface of the sun,
you know. Yeah. Eventually mil Riley, who was another remote viewer in
the in the group got so fed up with Ed a fake session was arranged
when they described Santa coming over the North Pole in his sleigh and with his
ever active imagination, Ed immediately deduced an object over the North Pole was a
nuclear attack and was set to call the highest levels of the military before he
was informed of the prank. Internally, his reputation never recovered. Well,
yeah, when you take Santa you want to narc on him to the federals.
Yeah, he does a lot of bonnese. He's good at it,
but it's for your own benefit. The only thing he takes his cookies,
and there's change around, loose cash. Don't all out away before he comes
around, and just want to be safe. Yeah, put some cookies out
there, give him something for the effort, but keep your person in your
bedroom. Part of the remote viewing experiments that were done made some ripples and
stand out in the program's relatively shorter history. I'll give you two, okay,
number one. Prior to Voyagers fly by of Jupiter, Ingo Swan proposed
a remote viewing session to view the giant planet. He claimed to see planetary
rings, which Voyagers pictures later confirmed, but what he actually said was quote,
very high in the atmosphere, there are crystals, They glitter. Maybe
the stripes are like bands of crystals maybe like rings of Saturn, though not
far out like that, very close within the atmosphere. And then an unintelligible
sentence, and then I bet you they'll reflect radio probes. Is that possible
if you had a cloud of crystals that were assaulted by different radio waves?
End quote. He also apparently claimed to see a thirty thousand foot mountain range
on Jupiter on his astral voyage, when there is no such thing. Yeah,
it's because there's no it's a gas giant. Yeah, and this this
is taken from the Skeptics Dictionary. He later claimed that astral travel is so
fast that he probably wasn't seeing Jupiter but another planet in the Solar System.
So there really is a big mountain out there on some planet in some Solar
system, some galaxy, some of there's a big mountain. And he saw
thirty thousand feet waved out of me. He saw the night and talked to
him. After this, the military apparently ushered him to a secret place and
interrogated him about the dark side of the Moon. Hello, Hello, God,
I do really actually uh, having never been a weedster, I'm never
really getting into it. In the last few years, I've come to really
really enjoy that album. I listened to it a lot. The Wall is
a masterpiece. That's the Dark Side of the Moon. I don't know much
about Pink Floyd, but I do know that one album. Okay, I
don't think it's on the Wall. I comfortably numb it is. Um.
You know what what. I'm a huge fan of Pink Floyd. I'm not
a weedster. I love The Wall. I'm gonna look it up right now,
do it. I just want to just for me, uh, in
particular, one of my favorite things, one of my favorite things in the
world, I like to stay up very late. I am. I am
an adult man that still enjoys everything a thirteen year old does. Like on
the weekends, I stay up as late as I can. I drink a
lot of caffeine so that I can watch movies and play video games. And
I am so pleased with this this turn of events in my life. But
my favorite thing is to get like when you get really tired and kind of
in a weird area around three in the morning and playing Minecraft, listening to
Dark Side of the Moon, and you're like really deep underground and everything's just
kind of weird, and you're just mining looking for stuff. It's it's the
best weird place. It sounds like an infamously great night. Yeah sounds it
sounds. It sounds mephistically great. Okay, one time we were doing it
and I got really drunk and pasted out. Oh yeah, he did not
save me from Spidertown. I got We've we've gone over that, but first
appears on the wall. See, I don't know. I never have like
listened to all four sides of that. Good also great? Um anyway,
sorry, sorry, everybody accept our British listeners. I know you guys will
appreciate this anyway. Oh, the dark side of the moon. Right,
So, according to swan quote, it's one thing to read about UFOs and
stuff in the papers or books. It is another to hear rumors about the
military or government having an interest in such matters, rumors which they say have
captured extraterrestrials and downed alien spacecraft. But it's quite another matter to find oneself
in a situation which confirms everything. I found. Towers, machinery, lights,
buildings, humanoids busy at work on something I couldn't figure out. That's
a good. That's that's that's all. Well, and good, But what
would goostaf flowbar think of it as terrestrials on the dirt side of the moon.
Oh, that's the flow barrier. It's kind of going for the guy
on community too, the sat that's definitely different Titan. So so apparently the
government had had Ingo Swan remote view the dark side of the moon. Nice,
how about that now? And I have heard that before, like of
the the spires and everything that's happening on the I mean what we call the
dark side of the moon. It's not actually dark. It gets as much
side of any other side of the Moon, but it's the side we never
see because the moon is uh and we've mentioned this before, but I think
because it's something that people don't ever talk about much. But the Moon is
tidally locked. Tidally locked, and that means that we literally only ever see
one side of the Moon. The exact same side is always facing the Earth.
It doesn't rotate independently, it doesn't not rotate. It simply always presents
one side of the Earth because of the gravity interaction with the Earth. So
there's a whole side of the Moon that we never actually get to see until
we send up probes or spacecraft or satellite. So so I think that's an
interesting fact. I don't know that everyone's really aware of that. Yeah.
Yeah. The biggest part of it is that, yes, it does get
sunlight, and a lot of people think it's this cold desolate place that has
hasn't seen the light of it. It's like that. It's like a no,
it's it's a chostural. It's cold desolate. It's a cold desolate place
that has seen the light of sun. Right, it's no less desolate.
Sure, but you know the moon gets in between us and the sun all
the time. So it Okay, that was one story. So that was
That was Ingo Swan remote viewing Jupiter, Colorado native mile high big hit or
in full lap, im like a bird Sowan. I just wanted to do
that. Yeah, I'm here. That was noncommittal. Second second story I've
got for you here. Second trust fall fail of the day. One example
of a more recent public remote viewing test was done on the National geographic show
Naked Science in two thousand and five, and this happened to involve Joe mcmonagle,
who's still kicking around. He's asked to remote view the location where one
of the show's researchers had randomly gone to mcmonagle's impressions are the following half arch,
something dark about it, darkness, a feeling she had to park somewhere
and go through a tunnel or something, a walkway of some kind and overpass.
There's an abutment way over her head. We have a garden. It's
a formal garden, formal gardens. Get past, open area in the center,
trees, some kind of artwork in the center. This artwork is very
bizarre, set and gravel stone. So that was what he came up with
when he remote viewed. The researcher had in fact gone to the Dumbarton Bridge
in the San Francisco Bay Area, which has an abutment but apparently does not
have a half arch. There's nothing dark about the place. She didn't have
to park anywhere and go through any tunnels or walkways to get where she was.
There were no gardens or trees, no open area in the center,
no artwork bizarre or otherwise. These are all I think on YouTube. I
think we can, we could verifive if we wanted. We don't. We
don't have time. We're awful. Yeah, we're terrible. Mcmonicicle was then
driven to the area. Apparently, from what I read, this is all
coming from the Skeptic Dictionary, he was driven to the area. As he
got there, he allegedly said, now I understand what I was getting.
That's exactly what I was seeing. Oh, yes, mystery solves a mystery
song. We've confirmed. I didn't realize that step five could be self administered,
that you could have your You could have as long as you tell yourself
that everything you did was right and thereby everyone around you. Yes, so
that's the history. How about we get into some fun stuff. Oh god,
I thought you'd never ask. We've got explanations, we've got trial error,
We've we've we've got goosed off while there floating around still? How about
how about how about just as simple as this? How about I've got instructions
on how you can do it, Yes, straight up instructions. Do you
want to remote view? Yes you do, Yes you do? Trust re
established. See what happened there? Well, Flora, when you need answers,
important answers, real answers, you need Wikipedia Yahoo answers. Oh oh
oh, so, Flora, I'm gonna let you ask two questions. Okay,
the questions you're allowed to ask art is remote viewing real? And is
remote viewing really possible to learn? I'm gonna ask you my own questions.
Number one is remote viewing wheel tough question? Let's see if I have that
information. Best answer, according to Yaho answers, is no, that's it.
Wow succinct. Yeah, succinct, but so woefully incorrect. The best
Yahoo answer, as determined by me, is the following. It can be
done, but it is psychologically draining to do so. No one can be
trained to remote view certain gifted individuals, though it can be taught to enhance
a natural gift. I do not recommend to anyone to get involved with remote
viewing, as it can wreck your mind. Operations Stargate was the US military
program to revote to remote view which began in the nineteen eighties. Now all
yah who answers ask, well, what's your source for this information? The
answerer's response is never mind what my source is? So wow? Yes it's
terribly mysterious. Now, Florida, you have any other questions? Yes,
uh, yeah, I only have one more. Oh, okay, I
want to know is remote viewing possible to learn? The answer is lots of
pages, lots of pages. Give me just one, Give me an answer,
just an answer. You got it, you got it. My favorite
answer so far. I do not believe humans can use remote viewing without off
world technology as et us as mind control, because et as no hands.
We are as we are, but life forms vary from world to world,
and remote viewing as we know it, it is being used as an advanced
weapon system which can be used not in the next room, but thousands of
miles apart and his top secret in the USK, in the USA, plus
UK, the US, the USA sent Professor Morris to Edinburgh University in the
late eighties to work on remote viewing. My info comes from et oh,
but not his punctuation. I've been wondering that for so long. Yeah no,
And then the other answers are extraordinarily lengthy, although this is interesting.
This one claims that Jimmy Carter confirmed that the USA, the Air Force,
and the CiU used remote viewer to locate a downed Russian plane in Africa.
Ingo Swan located a shipwreck and told a submarine to where to go. Apparently,
So yeah, those are the uh, those are two? Those are
two good Yahoo answers. Well, I'm glad that you answer asked those exact
questions. It worked out well, I'll tell you what what in terms of
explanations before we get into real fun stuff. While there have been admirable attempts
to scientifically test and verify remote viewing, to date, there hasn't been any
conclusive proof of remote viewing actually working. What what about all the tests?
No one conclusive? Oh, whip, that sucks. That's tough. That's
tough. I'll take a paragraph from the skeptics Dictionary once more. If an
occasional description or a hit for remote viewing seems apt to the target, that's
a hit. If it isn't exploit the ambiguity of the description, or revert
to allowing symbolic connections, and that's a hit too. What. In other
words, a hits a hit, and so as a miss. In fact,
there is no precise, clear cut definition of what will count as a
hit before the test begins, because in the leeway and interpretation that has allowed
judges of hits and misses, there's no way to testify the remote viewing hypothesis
using such tests without a reliable method that could falsify a claim one can let
the imagination run wild and allow confirmation bias to count as scientific testing. Yeah,
that's according to sic dictionary. Well, yeah, if you're if you
don't preset a victory condition and then you get to make one up after the
fact, you know, you can say, oh, I got close,
you know, because because of this thing. And do you see when I
said that there was gallons of blood everywhere? Do you see how in the
background there's a butcher's shop. So you see how all those people are working,
are walking around and they have blood in them. Yeah. Well,
in fact, there seems to be a good deal of subjective validation that happens,
or the process of validating statements or signs is accurate because one is able
to find them personally meaningful and significant. Right. There has also been quite
a bit of data fraud in the scientific history of remote viewing research. Oh
la la and kel suprise. Yeah, with some researchers purposefully changing or ignoring
the data that does not support their theory or goal. Right, because failing
to remote view is hard to make money with. Man, there's not a
winning process. It's also a little suspect that a viewer can see in space
and time, because a person could say, well, this isn't happening right
now, but maybe it happened in the past, or maybe it will happen
in the future, right which which you know what I'll give you that that
you are seeing in an indeterminate time in time and space, that is useless.
You could perfectly describe to me the contents of a room, but if
you don't know where that room is physically or even temporarily, that information is
I'll do the same thing, you know, and just hope statistically I'm right.
You know that doesn't that means nothing that you didn't You didn't do a
thing with that. There is the thought that remote viewing can be learned by
anyone that trains at it. According to some psychics, I don't believe that.
I believe you have to have the shining. Well, that's that's another
camp. Yep. Who was it? Joe mcma on a goal thought that
it was an innate power? Right, wasn't Heathen one? Ah? That's
so Joe? That so Joe. I don't know. Do you do you
have like how how one would go about remote viewing? Perhaps? Oh,
I thought you'd never ask. Guy just happened to have it already right here.
That's just a moment. I just need to get myself prepared. So
if you wanted to remote view at all, and we all do, there
are three easy ones. Step what make your mind as empty as a rice
bowl? I'll clarify. The first step in testing the process is for you
to learn to make your mind into an empty rice bowl. That means you
made to empty your mind of as much of as much of the thoughts,
images, awareness, and the normal part of your consciousness as you possibly can.
Why a rice bawlow, let's say stern mysticism. It helps the medicine
go down, moving on. Okay, it's fun to do, but it's
I'm not gonna They can't do that. They can't keep it up. Of
course you cannot possibly, of course you cannot completely empty your mind. You
hear yourself breathing, your boss's image flits before you, yourr boss's image.
Yeah, says that you will hear a dog barking. If you practice this
over several weeks or months, you will become very good at it. There's
a large part of what makes up meditation. Yeah, that's just meditation for
now. Just relax, close your eyes, breathe deeply, empty your mind.
To do so for five minutes before going on. You'll have a black
window in your mind to which you can gaze. It is the window to
your robot viewing. Step two, learn to keep your imagination quiet. Oh
sorry, yeah, I don't think it's gonna work for us. Your imagination
will try to put images into that black window. Why is it a black
window that seems the methotherorily thinnister is your imagination or hobo? You'll try to
just steal the pile if your black window sill. Yeah, you've been doing
that your whole life. When your daydream solved problems or plan things. It
would be difficult to keep the imagination. You don't know me showing you from
images when you make your mind into the an empty rice bowl, boy,
that rice bowl. More than anything, be aware of the images the imagination
is putting into your mind. If you see an image of your aunt,
she likely is not the remote viewing target, so toss her out, sorry,
mama. Also, very vivid images are probably imagination, not remote viewing,
because remote viewed images are blurred and indistinct, especially at first, almost
indescribable to a scientific professional Wow. If you can identify the image, then
it is likely not from remote viewing. From of the it's then it likely
is not from remote remote viewing the target. In remote viewing, you will
see indistinct images, shapes, and colors, but they will usually not look
like something identifiable. Relax an empty your mind if something clearly identifiable comes into
it. Okay wait, I mean okay, no time moving on. When
you do receive remote viewing signals, avoid trying to identify something or letting your
imagine fill in the blanks to make something identifiable out of the impressions you have.
If you can identify it, then your imagination has created it. When
the imagination puts an image into your into your window, quiet your mind and
empty your rice bowl. Rice bowl. Wow. Make your window black so
you don't go back. Yeah, I said it. Practice that for five
minutes now. Relax, close your eyes and empty your mind as imagined.
As imagined images come into your mind, quiet your mind, and empty the
window so it is black. Stop three, rebot view the targets. You've
done all the legwork. It's time to rape the rewards of watching locker rooms
at move is yet too young to get into you will be presented the target
identifiers one at a time. Each is associated with a photograph that is very
distinctive. Close your eyes, relax your mind and look at the blackboard in
your mind. Say the target identifier to yourself, or see it writing on
the blackboard. It's weirdly written. Then sit quietly and wait for visual details
color, temperature, touch, texture, and emotional sense. After you get
impressions, open your eyes and sketch the images or write the impressions right.
Only the details. Don't try to decide what the target is. Put a
line below the impressions when you're done to separate them from the next set of
impressions. Then close your eyes again. Relax and make your mind an empty
rice bowl brought to you by Bifco brand rice bowls, the only rice bowls
that hold no rice, and say the letters of the target identifier in your
mind. Wait for more impressions. Then open your eyes and record them.
You might do that eight or ten times for a single target. Shure,
this is too much. It's too much. Who've got time for all of
this? There's rice to me cooking or eating or emptying. You know what,
Let's try it. Let's just try it. Call the steps. Let's
okay, let's just try I'll take something of mine, which I have a
lot of right here. I'm gonna go downstairs and hide it in the dryer.
Yeah, put it on top of the dryer. You don't want it
on top, you don't want to inside. No, it's in a different
room. I still can't see it, but I don't what if I can't
penetrate. That's a thing about remote viewing. It doesn't matter what you put.
But it's dark in the dryer, Yeah, it is, so you
have to sense it. Okay, all right, doctor Fine. A lot
of this stuff happens in boxes or places that you're not supposed to be able
to access normally. So put something in the dryer and then you can put
something of yours in dryer. I'll try it out. Well, we'll just
see, we'll see how how how our Sunday School remote viewing goes. Okay,
I'm gonna quiet in my mind. I'm empty my You do that,
and I'm gonna I'm gonna go load up the dryer. I'll be right back,
all right. I have placed my object in the dryer. Dave has
been sitting here emptying his rice bowl, scrape in the sides, bro.
So I'll let you do it in your own time. My psychic impression is
that it is a vessel, it is a container. It is a glass
or a shot glass or a beverage cup. It's something you drink out of.
That's what I got. That was the of all the things that like
kind of crossed my mind as I thought about it, that's the one that
really stuck in a crawl. At first, I wanted to say it was
one of Ezzie's toys, Cornman in particular. But then the more the more
I just cooled out, the less the more that seems silly. Okay,
So that's what I got. So, so you just did you come by
this by by seeing it in your in your mind? Or at first?
Did you? I was. I tried my brain instantly tried to do it
logically. I tried to. I realized what I was doing. I recreated
in my mind the walk from here to the door to the apartment, right,
what are all the things you would encounter you would encounter, what would
the things that you would grab on the way? And then I realized that's
it's not really the full point of it. It's not like a statistical odds
on game. So then I started thinking about the dryer itself, and I
imagined that it was a dryer, like an old timey dryer that had the
window in the front, or like an a laundry Matt dryer and I had
earlier. That's when I was those things like about Cornman. And then I
thought about a shot glass, and that felt pretty good, but it didn't.
I thought, maybe it's not a shot glass, maybe like a tumbler,
like a rocks glass or something. But I think, my psychic impression,
using all of my powers, that the great beyond is that it is
a drinking cup or a drinking vessel, something you put a drink in.
Okay, And that was all visual for you. Didn't get any other senses
in there, any touch or feel or no, but I touch and feel
or the same thing by the way to right love. No, but I
didn't also like I didn't have an image of the thing. I just had
the idea of it. Okay, Yeah, so that's what I got.
All right, do it? Do it my psychic I'm gonna go get it
and show it to you, okay, Or or how about you just start
to cool out and I'll go grab something. Oh, okay in the dryer.
Okay, save us all that'll save us sometime. Sure, all right
now, I think we should we should reveal our accuracy when we're both done.
Yeah, do you want some more time? You feel like you're in
the zone. I need just a few more seconds, Okay, okay.
I keep getting a fabricy sensation, like a soft, scratchy kind of you're
focusing on the lint trap. You need you need to focus on the inside
of the dryer. Maybe that's I'm getting stuck in the screen there. I
almost get the feeling of like a piece of yarn or something, but I
don't. I think it's bigger than that. Uh, this is bigger than
yarn. Man. Do you get any any color impressions from it? You
get you're obviously getting a very tactle Yeah. I think I keep overriding my
thought of something that I'm familiar with. And that's I think it's really because
the thing I'm thinking of is like a purple and white, and I don't
think that's it. I think that's something I'm already familiar with. This is
this is something out of your bag, right that that you've brought in or
is it something of mine? I mean, there's only one way to find
that out. Yeah, I have to go with something fabric e this this
is a guess, like a handkerchief. That's that's just a guess though,
Okay, I mean they're all guesses. There's no defeat, there's no getting
around that. You feel confident final, No, I don't. But I'm
gonna go with with handkerchief just for for time's sake. It's a star Lord
bobble Head. Oh so it was one of my things and I was totally
wrong. Star Lord bobble Head. I uh, you had hid for me
a bottle of cologne called Vedevie and rum. I'm going to call that a
hit for you. Oh really well, I mean you said glass and a
vessel. You said it was for drinking, so it made it sound more
like a cup or a drinking glass. But it says rum on it.
Yeah, you said shot glass. Yeah, and and and this is this
is made of glass. It's it's got liquid in it. I don't know,
I feel like that's a that's that's a hit for you. But you
know what, that might be a little bit of confirmation bias. Something I
gotta say. I mean, having been in my own shoes for that entire
experience, I don't consider that a hit. I was never in the Tri
County area that now, Like if I had, and I didn't, like,
if I had thought about it, like I kept thinking in terms of
cocktail glasses, because I said there was like like shot glass rocks glass,
like I there was like a cocktail. If I had. If I had
said that, and then the thing is a vessel that says rum on it,
i'd feel better about it, but I didn't. Yeah. Yeah,
closer than me, way closer. Yeah, yarn lord, there's there's a
piece of like purple and white string out there that I couldn't get out of
my head. I couldn't get it out of my head. I don't know
what what the deal was. That's hilarious and weird. So so there you
go. We tried it. You guys try it now. Obviously we're not
trained professionals. Well, there's two schools of thought on that. Yep,
neither you got it or you don't. Yeah, and we emptied at the
crap out of our rice bowls. So I'm gonna I'm gonna call that.
I'm gonna call that the episode. Oh yeah, I like it. I
think it's I think that's a that's a powerful dismount, that's remote viewing for
you in a inscrutable in a nutshell that you can see inside of. If
you believe in yourself, if you love enough unicorns, you can do it.
Wait floor hold unch, shut shut up, floor shut up? What
Yeah, I can't it can't make sense. It's pawns going. I'm going,
okay, all right, I goes here, we go. Uh,
you know, flor When I was when I was researching this episode, I
found a lot of really amazing historical accounts of people either using or attempting to
use, uh, you know, remote viewing. And but there's that that
that turned to it. There's the the the the desire to weaponize it.
And this was used in the Middle Ages, even in siege warfare. Uh
generals would take what they considered to be the gifted people in his army.
They were constantly looking for people who had psychic gifts. And he thought that
if he, if he put enough together, just marked them almost up to
the castle, that they could they could they could will the drawbridge to lower,
or they could they could just blast the walls with the power of their
mind. Wow, it didn't really work out, And these guys just kind
of milled around outside the castle, and they got the ignominious nickname just the
Men who Stare at moats. What a tapesture you wove, Yeah, right,
right right. I allowed you to see in sense the entirety of it.
I thought it was fabric. Really it was just vinyl. I have
an old TV program, Swait, where the protagonist solves local crimes by sensing
crimes and criminals with her mind. Really it's called murder, she wrote,
viewing. I like that. That's a good one. You know, there
was an attempt to kind of cash in on the interest in remote viewing and
and parapsychology in the eighties, and there was a show on TV. You
know that they used to have people come out and you wanted to ask a
few questions, see if these people were compatible. And they were able to
get a huge amount of government funding also, and so that you could actually
place one person on one side of a barrier and then three individuals down the
other and determine by by by calming your mind, by emptying that rice bowl,
and find who you found most attractive. And that was the star Date
project. Oh my yeah, along the same lines. A little before that,
a little before that, quite quite a bit before that, there was
an old Russian psychic spy program in which Slavic monarchs would attempt to remove view
their enemies. Oh really yeah, and you know what it was called the
Zargate project projects Zargate nice lims, puns man. Well, you know what,
we don't have to quiet our rice bowls to find because they're just as
plain as day listener. All right, listeners and lovers, brothers and travelers,
dovers, dovers, those who train doves. We have finally reached the
point that we can no longer universally read every single listener mail, which I
mean is a testament to your prolific nature and our inability to read goods.
You know, thank you guys so much for listener mal You know, obviously
we're always behind on it, and so what we're gonna We're gonna try to
change it up a little bit. And if you'd, if you know,
let us know, if you'd prefer we we you know, did the roundups,
the mail bags. We can we can do those, you know,
um, But in the interest of always making sure that every episode is kind
of as fresh as it possibly can be. You know, you tell us
where we don't. We're in the business of giving you guys what you want.
We will tell you what you want. I'll tell you so. Having
said that, listener mail, all right, kicking off the mail listener mail,
there's two mails in that mails are Dave and David. Hi. Hi
Amy. Amy hits us with a little bit of a business marketing advice.
Oh we need it, she wants. If we want our Triple X mess
to take off aka Messa aka nail you, you're going to need a sponsor
Valentine's Day. It would be nowhere without the greeting card industry. She's one
hundred percent right, and she says, I think you see where I'm going
with this. You need to get Trojan and or any other condom company to
sponsor and promote your holiday with their backing, it can't fail. It's true.
It's a good point. It's a great point. So if you love
mysteries the unexplained and are also a condom magnate, hit us up. Let's
see who we can get some business done. Thanks Amy, who I assume
not to be a condom magnate. Otherwise, you know we could have just
I hope Amy is a condom magnate. Yah Dave, we have heard from
dust Man. Wait a minute, that's lumber Jack. Nick King ops the
back fast and the pancakes up. Nobody has the strengths two straps than anything
and make a giant skillet. It's the first back fast. How did that
happen? When did that? Adam saying okay, Adam says, gooden talk,
gentlemen, good talk the first of Yahia. Everybody hates him. Adam
hits us with a pun. He says the guide Stones episode reminded him of
a shadowy organization in his town that recently started a catering service called New World
or Derves nice and he says, button like stick. Oh almost, I
like New World or Durves donca chet nod them. Would that be like rosa
crush Stini, It would be like that. I think it would be a
little. It was something ampatizer pun. Thank you a ten shunt, flora
sucking that gut. Put your ass for in your hands, plick plain,
grab ass with your fellow soldiers, because the general kiss has given you an
inspitch and sir, your sir, sorry about the grab, sir, promise
someone stopped serving. Quit right now while you're in front of me, sir,
don't turn around. It's good for morale. General writes the following.
To defend against robot attacks, the military has begun training troops to attack robots,
programming to take them down. This has led to the creation of the
new rank of Linux colonel. That's a good one. I agree that the
scariest possibility is a swarm of microscale robots that can reproduce. Gotta watch out
for those in nano toots and a penalty box. Come on, yeah,
penalty box. You know what. Ironicus is tough but fair. He's tough
but fair. The plot of I Robots, starring Will Smith, relates to
something your guest Johnny mentioned slightly earlier, the Zeroth Law. In the movie
that robot manufacturers Central Computer determined humanity was a danger to itself and use the
latest model iPod robots as an army to enforce a benevolent, despotic occupation.
There was no outside influence, but a difference in interpretation of the laws in
later short stories. As am I've introduced as Zeroth law stating a robot cannot
harm humanity. Even later stories wrestled with how to define harming humanity. Oh
you know, I want to have to ask for a brief recess while I
determine where it is the law was broken? Is that the end of it?
That is of the conclusion, Ironicus, Now you are a respected member
of the ball associations. I'm not going to kick out this courthouse, but
I'm gonna have to see a further filing and or brief Remember these old eyes
on as shop as they used to be. And I don't see the vitlations
may not be, but I do know a Will Smith movie when I see
one. So so as Ironicus saying that there weren't the three laws in there,
or even that they they added the zeroth law, the one that precedes
all laws, which is do not harm. Yeah, humans, I don't
get it. I don't know what happened there. Clarify for us. Hit
us back with the worst. See, this is why we have to do
it this way. And Ironicus has long since moved on with his life,
and I don't blame him. Flora what he got, Thank you, Ironicus,
syce Dave. We have heard from and ironically enough, already met Corey.
Ah, that is so gossip. Yes, we met Corey at the
Paracon. What a what a great and upstanding gentleman with a strong beard.
That's true. That's true, all of it true. Um Corey wrote us
before the Paracon, whoops, and has some puns for us. Hit us.
First of all, he heard about the show from Keeper Dan on the
Miskatonic University podcast last year. Oh thank you Keeper Dan. Yeah, I'm
gonna Keeper Dan Man pleasing podcast is half the reason Corey hits us with the
following puns. He's got a Renaissance manuscript compiled by a respected noble, providing
guidance to high born youths in the journey from adolescents to adulthood, addressing hygienic
instruction in delicate situations. O. This tomb is known as the Mine Boys
itch Man, You scratch, And he's got some recommended podcasts, I mean
podcasts. Oh yeah, how about the one where Mithra and Jesus host deific
friends in their god cave over waffers and wine. The boys can't candidly discuss
off the cuff topics of friendship, salvation, woodworking, manscaping, fishing,
the minutia of legal ease, the misogyny debate, and techniques for dealing with
overbearing supreme beings. It's the bullsting podcast, My Balls. How about a
mundane superpower hit me? The ability to perform acts of extraordinary sexual prowess.
Already have it blowing female minds as long as she's rated under a three.
Oh no, I totally have that. Otherwise, the possessor weeps, drips,
and degenerates into an annoying pool of salty water gross the powers known as
squank libido. Oh, I do have that. I do have that.
Corey also sympathizes with your You're you're drinking so hard, You're you're so far
out of your body. He got to the Carl Young episode basically, Yep,
yeah, that's I did. I'd manage to uh astrally travel back in
time and I tried to save a tragedy. I'm sort of a hero.
Yeah. I don't know if that's how people are going to see that.
He's done the same thing where he's he's laughed so much he passed out and
woke up with everybody staring at him, wondering if he was going to fall
out of his chair or not that's legit. And and to end it all,
he says his vote for for our a fan name so far is is
one thing with a with a runner up. He likes Blur reavers h and
Army of Pun is a pretty damn close second. Do you like Army of
Pun and I like Blur reavers? Oh, Colory, it was a pleasure
meeting you, and thank you for writing in highest and strongest of fives to
you. Good sir, keep keep on keeping on and hopefully we'll see you
at the live show whenever that gets going. We're working on it, I
promise. It's kind of exasperating at this point. Uh. And to wrap
this up, Sam, Sam hits us with this pun. Uh. It
is true that practitioners of voodoo give gifts to various patron spirits, certain kinds
of gifts are given to specific spirits. This is because whatever ones low against
a well played Sam and well played listeners and badly played Dave and David for
being behind on listener mail and bad form to bad form medial, Thank you
though for listening. You're you're the best. You're why we do this.
You're you're great. Every pun I write I pun again. Make sure you
go and like us on Facebook if you haven't done so already. Yep,
please give us a nice glowing five star the iTunes. We're getting close to
the century mark on there. Yeah we're nice. Weeah, we're doing really
well there. And yeah we're getting close to six hildos and follow us on
the Twitter. We're actually doing stuff with that. We're getting better at it.
Yeah. Yeah, so it's only taken us three years, but yeah,
we're actually kind of having fun with it now. So we're still think
Laurie Anderscore Photos is where you can find us. There. You can go
to Audible trial dot com, slash blurry Photos, get a free audio book,
and us lest I forget. Just as important as anything we've said.
A gigantic congratulations to Blurry Photos listeners Monica and Kurt who got married. They
invited us to their wedding. We didn't make any mistakes and we didn't piss
anybody off. We were very polite guests. Yes, so yes, congratulations
Mondic Cancuracas are magnificent people and I can't wait to see you again soon.
I one thing we don't know is if you went straight on a honeymoon or
if you're still around. It's kind of weird. It's like on Christmas morning,
you get all your presents and you want to go call your friends to
see if they can play, but you're like, I don't know, they
might still be christmasing. It's exactly like that actually, And also we want
to give a big high five and think you to the Chicago Podcast co Op.
Yes for all the sponsor ships, um that that we are involved in,
all the great podcasts that we are in league with now and if it's
fun, we have like a team we could play rec league volleyball, not
well because we're podcasters, but we do it. Yeah. If if you
like what we do, you'll probably like what what friends of ours do,
like an Hour with your ex or blast Roe podcast. Absolutely go check those
guys out. Support these Chicago podcast co Op. Yeah. I mean they've
got a whole list online. Go through it. I mean like there are
some amazing stories to be had in there by some really talented people who just
I'll be honest, they're great. They couldn't be further from us. They're
professionals, they know what they're doing. That's true. So uh, to
sign off, I guess land this this plane of mediocrity. That'll do it
for this episode of blurry Photos. And I have been David Sunstreak Flora and
I'm Dave. What a time to be alive Stacco Yeah, Badgers in the
Rice Bowl. And that brings us to our third and final remote previewing a
Batman versus Superman um a world in flames. I think people will be pleasantly
surprised when Vladimir WoT makes a cameo appearance atop of Red Bear. It really
shows the power the world leaders have in the face of superheroes who are just
trying to destroy the planet, not saving. You cannot only look forward to
amazing action sequences and batmobiles and Superman cycles, but also the fact that Vladimir
Putin has the mysterious powers of web slinging is a really interesting twist to what
I've so far have been told by my friends at the Internet Cafe. Is
an already somewhat interesting story, and I've been told numerous times, no more
Wolverine for you, Jackman, but he reprises the role as he does battle
with both Batman and Superman. But who steps in to mediate the conflict?
Dumbledore that's right. He never died and in this comic book continuity, Snape
was a robot the whole time. Yeah, in an aggressian field and violent
movie for twenty sixteen, I have to give Batman Versus Superman and NA must
Day. And I'm sorry, Citrine. You never need to apologize to me
when you gift me with the truth, and I return that gift by also
saying Batman Versus Superman Na must Day.
