Good morning, race fans, sports fans, and Mothman's to the Cetacean Recreation
Plantation for this the forty seventh running of the Second Jewel in the Blurry Photos
Triple Crown. That's right, and it's a beautiful day for the running of
the Freakness. We just saw an amazing race with the Conspiracy derby a photo
finish between Paranoia and Misinformation, and we're told Misinformation and one, although Paranoia
would like to take a second look at it, this being the second Jewel
in the Blurry Photos Triple Crown. Next race, we have that big Foot
Stakes. If Misinformation can pull out the win today, then he goes on
for the first Triple Crown in forty two years. Now, let's go down
to the track and take a look at the lineup as they're being loaded into
the gate. That's right, Chet, We truly have an amazing lineup today.
In the eighth position, Rational Discourse, always a crowd favorite, never
a finisher in the top three. In the seventh slot, we've got Preek
and Saved Notion and we're pretty sure we'll know where he finishes. In the
sixth position, we've got New Age Bullshit is pretty much all over the track.
In the five slot, we've got misinformation again, the winner of the
conspiracy derby, and a photo finish, so we're told, in the fourth
position, the darling of the interview circuit. Liberal media in the third position,
and perhaps the loudest horse of all, religious zelotry, and in a
correction to the official program, paranoia will be taking the second position. Originally
slot for number one, but insisted on the last minute gate change, and
last into the gate in the first position, having a little trouble getting into
the gate. They're going in ass first we have. That's right. Doesn't
seem that he's entirely aware he's about to engage in a sports event. That's
right, Doug. It's a bold move. Let's see how it pays off.
That's the last of them in. There's the bell and they're off.
Liberal Media controlling the pack right out of the gate, trying to jockey her
position with religious leutry, followed by misinformation, Paranoia and looks like preconceived notions,
stumbles a bit out of the gate. Rational discourse the only horse to
stay it's lane, losing ground quickly. The new age bull shit and aliens
has already two lakes behind the rest of the pack, just standing on the
track. That's right, I think he's eating a hamburger. Nope, nope,
it's a Euro. Heading into the first turn, rational discourse gaining ground
on liberal media, followed by misinformation, paranoia, and New Age bulls shun
the outside. Religious eleutray is getting pinned against the rail by paranoia as they
head into the second turn. As we reached the half mile mark, rational
discourse really getting banged around misinformation and preconceived notion and religious zelutry is making gains.
Coming up strong on the inside is paranoia, followed by liberal media and
new Age bulls making a push from the outside and heading into the third turn,
preconceived notion making a strong showing and Aliens is wearing a straw hat and
taking pictures of children adorable and rounding the final turn, rational discourse rules I
had on the pack with your preconc notion behind religious dyllatry on the inside,
Liberal media coming up on the outside misinformation followed by New Age bulls, paranoia
and aliens is getting passed by the pack and down the stretch day come mis
this to day that rational discourse wins it for the first time. Oh no,
it is in rational discourse falls on its face for no apparent reason,
and oh my god, preconceived notion and misinformation both go down home in the
A two and cast. What is this? Can you believe it? It's
New age bulls most of the front of the pack to the elite surge of
speed. I can't believe it. New Age bulls by two eights coming down
to the wire. It's two eight bulls. Follow my liberal Media, then
King Nick and it's now eight bulls and pulls it out. Ladies and gentlemen.
The winner of the twenty thirteen Freakness is New Wage Bulls. Liberal Media
with the place, send religious cemetry with the show, and Aliens is still
back at the starting kate position. I think he's just turning in a circle
right now, just trying to make himself dizzy. Boy. That euro looks
good, though, Doug doesn't. It sure does, Chat, sure does
Rich pageantry in a world of sports. Welcome to blurry photos the biggest hat
wearing his podcast. You'll have a see it's a cool min Julip for the
eels. Hey everybody, I'm David Flora and I'm David Stecko, Welcome to
Blurry Photos. Oh man, you have just won the triple Crown. I
hope that you guys went through an emotional journey like we did. It's the
most exciting run of podcast intro. Man. I wish there was some way
that we could have foreseen the future of that intro. Yeah, me too.
I wish there was some something that could have given advice to us that
would have said, probably not to do that, because it was pretty silly.
Motherfucker. Oh yeah, Oh did you expect that? No, no,
you didn't. We've started. Yeah, I just did it. I
just kicked it all your week, Dave, let's get this thing. Sorry.
I wasn't going to talk about your week. Oh man. Yeah,
I just decided to kick the door in on your home. Chinese divination in
your face. That's right. Well, to this week, we are looking
at the eaching. That's right. Yeah. We've kind of dabbled in other
formats for prognostication. We we talked some tarot. Now it's time to explore
some eaching. Pun gun didn't go. Oh man, that was a dud.
This is gonna be fun. I like these, uh, this one,
this one in particular, is neat. I had picked up some books
about this in the past and and even tried to do some self prognosticating on
myself. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, in the old past.
It's fun. Although I yeah, I guess I did it right because there
are different ways of doing it. But I'll get to this in a minute.
It's a it's a neat thing and something from a part of the world
that we have not visited very much. No old old China. Yeah,
it's China is gigantic, and you know what, I'm gonna double my efforts
on that because they've got to have some great stuff that we don't know about.
Well, I'm sure they do. Yeah. What the closest week came
was like by gong pipes or something, wasn't it then? That was even
like Tibet, Yeah, well they were. That might be insulting Tibetans to
even draw that way to step in a political situation. Flora in China,
awesome, great band in China. Hate it into bits, Florry photos.
We just can't win. Oh, that's that's crazy. That's crazy. That's
crazy, right who owns it? Cybrigs are conium. It just sounds like
we went home shopping channel a second. Yeah, tonight, we're gonna talk
about what the eaching is, a little bit of its history, uh,
some if it's components, and what it can do for you, what it
can do for you and how, and maybe even do some examples for you,
because that's that's always fun. And do you want to know our futures?
Because I know I do, And thank god, the Eaching has very
clear guidelines for its use, so I can't completely shaft Flora's future with my
own made up bullshit, with my own New Age bulls. Oh man,
I'm I have to get rich and buy a horse so I can name it
New Age bullshit. You know. The funny thing is, I think that
horses are are named in a system somehow. I don't even think it's the
owners they get to name them. It's not accidental. No, there's something
to it. I'm not for certain, but I know that it's not something
that somebody's just like, well, this this thing just gave birth, let
me name the baby. I'm gonna find that right now. Okay, while
you do that, this episode is going to be a lot like our Tarot
episode in many ways, particularly how they match up to each other as divination
tools. And also we're like we said, we're gonna do some some readings
on each do you call these readings? We cast the old point, I'd
call it a reading. Do a reading? Um, we ask a question,
it gives us advice, yea one way or the other. Um?
Okay. Lots of rules to name a horse, Yeah, lots of rules.
Um. The maximum length in characters is eighteen unless you have the accept
Unless you have the approval of the registrar. Name cannot be repeated for seventeen
years after the birth of a horse with the same name, or twenty years
after the birth of the youngest named part produce of a horse with the same
name. What. Oh, by the way, this already rude, offensive,
a racist words will not be allowed. Well jobs, Oh well,
dude, it's fine because our horse is still gonna be named Diggie Toots.
So so uh so is it? What was I completely wrong? There?
Is it? Uh? Well, these are Australian rules. Rules, I
don't know. Hold on, you're just clicking indiscriminately at this point. Oh
wait a minute, wait, there's a good one here, So that means
American rules. We still could name it New Age Bowl Okay, hold on,
hold on, Oh yeah, yeah, there are the same rules as
Australian rules that the note the breeders get to pick the names, they submit
them to a central authority who has to approve the name. Well, so
we can well, I'm an antle, I don't know where what I was
thinking of. Then, Yeah, and you just wasted our valuable time and
now we don't we know less about the future, Flora, thanks for that.
Sorry, we both know Obama did it. Uh, so you can
check on your checklist of things I learned about the eaching, Australian horse race
rules and naming of horses. You guys, a trip to the library.
You're welcome, people go there for information. Let's let's give a real quick
overview. Yeah. This now, this subject, the eaching YEP, is
much like some of the subjects that we've covered in the past, where there
is a mountain of information about it. But we are going to try and
circumvent the mountain, take pretty pictures of it and show you those pictures so
you're not left hiking all the way up it all the way down. Where
are the ones with the blisters on our feet? Not you? Yeah,
we're really gonna give you the icing of the cake here, but we'll obviously
let you pick the design of it, and I hope you pick Avengers or
something like that. Get a little plastic figurine. I mean, keep going,
keep going with it, all right, don't stop paper plates and napkins.
Get the whole theme thing going. Ants in the pants, Ants and
the pants? What did you just said that out a left field? You
just start saying ants in the pants? You're a sas to give me the
yelling Megan me, No, it was a South Park thing. Oh sorry,
Kyle got him or Kinny or somebody got him. Answer the pans instead
of the game man. Yeah, I alright, uh, all right,
check out that checklist again. Ninety one percent. I'm calling it now.
We got you, are right, all right? So FDA gets involved if
we fall below seventy and then we don't get to name our horsemore eighty nine.
Oh gosh. Well, we'll give you the briefest of briefs and if
you really want to know the history of of the eaching, first of all,
good luck. Second of all, there's a lot on it, though,
as we'll get to it's still kind of up in the air. Yeah,
it's it's between I mean ballpark between two and four thousand years old.
Um. And even the people who are said who have written it are so
highly mythologized as to make it really difficult to kind of separate the wheat from
the chaff. Um the original The person deemed responsible for the initial writing of
it was said to be Fushi, also in some uh sometimes known as Bausche.
He reigned during the mid twenty ninth century BC and was one of the
three sovereigns. Um. Who is you know, kind of a forefather for
all of Chinese culture, was supposed to have taught them trapping and writing and
fishing. Um, he's a he's a legendary figure. He's he's a culture
hero. Is not even people aren't even sure if he really existed or not.
Yeah, he's he's kind of a King Arthur esque sort of dude.
Um. And So getting to the root of where the eaching came from,
you're starting off it's it's like, you know, where did the tarot come
from? Oh, Merlin, damn it. Yeah, you know, it's
a hard thing to to square. So that that's why that the history of
it's so difficult. It went through a few updates over its history that were
historically verified. People would add additional commentaries, people would add to the system,
but very it's it's very easy to verify the changes in the additions and
the commentaries. The system itself still stays very enigmatic. Yeah, yeah,
and we'll see what we can dig up here from the surface. But if
you're if you're wondering, well you you if you're saying to yourself, these
guys keep saying eaching and I have no conclude what eaching means. Yeah,
that's right. Well, well you'll set them strike Laura, here we go.
The eaching's both an ancient Chinese text and a method of divination. It
has evolved over the centuries and is a mix of Talist and Confucian philosophy.
The e in it is for all our Western purposes. And the letter I.
Yeah, but it's not pronounced I or too easy. Too easy,
that's I A s one terrible. Are you proud of yourself for so effortlessly
slipping that in though I don't think you even realized you did it because it
was a great dad joke. Oh God, only two percent hit on that.
I got awful easy. So so yeah, the letter I pronounced e
means change and then ching means book or classic work. So a literal translation
of it is the Book of Changes. Sorry, I started choking you physically
through halfway through your French word. It's also called the Classic of Changes,
and that means the classic work of change. The name derives from the philosophy
that nothing is static and we must learn to adjust to the ebbs and flows
of change. It's a book of wisdom and also an oracle which illuminates correct
and balanced action in many many situations, just like the terror, The eaching
can be referenced for advice, but it does not predict the future. That
is one thing that the old Tero wants to make clear. Lots of people
will will pretend that it is something that predicts the future. Take I don't
know me three minutes ago, for example. Oh God, we're supposed to
help with the mysteries, but not me. No, no, no,
you like to keep the mysteries snug as a bug right up until we kick
it in the teeth. Who do you think that jockey is for misinformation?
It's me that m I. It shows the current situation and possible courses of
action, and it's funny because in doing the research for this, a lot
of sites that brought up the tarot to compare to the eaching stated that the
tarot was used for telling the future. And I think conversely, sites that
talked about the tarot, if they even brought up the eaching, it's like,
it's so funny. It's like one of them is like, no,
no, we show you your present situation so that you can take actions,
so you can favorability deal with them. But tarot. No, that one.
That one said the tool of the devil. It shows versus jets man
future. But tarrow once you go tar tarow all day. Because we don't
have enough musical theater in this podcast just yet, we had to go stick
in your dibbic in this podcast. O lord, all right, when you
draw death, you draw death all the way from your first cherry yet tell
your last ride or wait, no terror musical. Yeah, that was terrible.
What did you hear it? It was terrible? West side tarot all
right, it was terrible. Gosh dude, no wait hey, Terri bowl.
Yeah, every time you say it, we go down a percentage point.
That's eighty three eaching. So so the point is It's funny how these
people don't get everything in line with how each other, what each other is
saying. They both are supposed to to show you what the current situation is,
possible courses of action for it. The future is not set in stone,
obviously, everything changes, timy wibli woably and with the eaching. It
gives this advice through sixty four hexagrams, which are six lines on top of
each other, and those are broken down into two trigrams, which are three
stacked lines. Did you give that? Everybody? Now? Are you with
usne cross your eyes. We're gonna explain that in a little bit. It'll
be easy. Don't worry. The co sign of the relationship between the tangent
and the dangling participle, it stretches over many disciplines, all right, so
abandoned. Moving on these the lines that make up these hexagrams trigrams, they're
drawn one of two ways. It's a straight, solid line or it's a
broken line. And these are based on the philosophy of yin and yong,
not ying Yang yin yang yin yong. There's no g on yin from one
thing, and it's not yang, it's not the achang with yan yang.
You know, my dad used to I don't know where on earth he picked
this up, but if if, if somebody had a lot of something.
Yeah, that guy's got money coming out the ying yang. No bus,
that was one of his favorite I've heard that coming out the y yang.
Yeah, I get it. Classic colloquialism. Yeah in America. No,
no, no, the money is coming out the yin yang. So smug.
I've got to go get him my prithe drive to my health food collective
weak gress. The solid lines are masculine, which correspond to the young,
and broken lines are feminine, which correspond to the yin. And more on
those components later. So that is a brief and really tangential overview on the
Eaching. Let's talk about some more of the history of it here. It's
about as mysterious as the oracle itself. Where it comes from. Like we
said, out it in mystery. The earliest artifacts discovered so far date a
text version of the Eaching to the second century BC Han dynasty founded by Han
Solo, and those texts are thought to have been kind of a congealment of
concepts. Yeah, someone was kind of making a collection of sorts of study
of it. In congealment is not the right word for it. It maybe
like a like a conglomeration, yeah, a collection. Yeah, it's bringing
together all these disparate ideas, yeah, into one solid thing. So even
though that's the first written record that we've ever found, it's by virtue of
what that record is, it implies that it had been around for quite some
time prior to that, right, exactly back to the late fifth century BC,
in what's called the Warring States period. Of course, each each branch
of this this you can see how this it just sprouts limbs as as it
grows, and you can go down any limb of this, and it's super
interesting what's happening in Chinese history with you know, dynasties that are usurping dynasties
and tribes that are that are coming into their own and some of the most
fascinating history that has happened in the history of history. Because this stuff was
going on at the same time you get like the Indus River Valley starting up
the Egypt. Yeah, like the stuff's happening before even Pharaoh's came into power.
Again, I'll say it again because I've said it before and that's what
makes it so easy. And man, talk about sounding like a jackass,
but I'm gonna say it. The Eurocentric view of world history does everyone a
huge disservice. Yeah, and it's it's it's not like it's everyone glibly says,
oh, you know, the Chinese are very advanced, but but you
really need to like understand how organized that such a huge amount of space was
in China then was not necessarily the China now, but but it was just
magnificent. And you're right like that when you think about when these things are
happening as according to when things what the equivalent history is that's happening in Europe
at the time, it's embarrassing, which is maybe why we don't take such
a close look at it. But I'm telling you, if you think history
is interesting, if you enjoy reading about history, try reading about South American
history. Try reading about Chinese and East Asian history. For the time periods
that include the Roman Empire, that include uh, you know, all of
these these things that were brought up learning about in in high school. Yeah,
it's just it's just magnificent. It's so rich, and it's just full
of like, holy crap, I had no idea moments. Yeah, they
were. They were the ones already sitting down thinking like, why are we
here? What's this all about? Well, so people ask first people to
give a slapping tickle there and the first he gets its taste, our salute
to Chinese culture were bastards. You know. Something that I think is interesting
maybe we should touch on a future podcast is like South Pacific history, oh
man, the boat diaspora, oh man. Yeah, the whole culture down
there, especially with Samoans. And yeah, and we've we've actually had a
request for the kantiki before. Yeah, yeah, that is higher. I
don't know how much you like fours who me? Yeah you, I don't
know, man, It's just it's not thours. It's just one thoor.
I'm sure you used the hammer building your shop all dudes you love. It's
just one dude. Thanks, Thanks, That's that's what you should glean from
it. Real real happy. I just got I just got a Lego figure
in the mill. Did Yeah, causes all the thor Lego figures coming,
like the sixty dollars sets, and I'm not going to spend sixty dollars just
to get a thor Lego did as I Amazon did and got just like the
Thor with a couple of other pieces of junk for like, I don't know
too much still, but seventy dollars seventy dollars, I could have gotten the
Quinn jet and also the Hulk with it, maybe Captain America and Hawkeye.
So, like we said, the folklore dates it even further back as far
as twenty eight hundred BC, which is the twenty ninth century. That's as
far back as BCEs go pretty much. Yeah, and it credits the legendary
culture hero food See with originating it. So here's here's the story of him.
Fussy and his sister and new Gua were the only beings to survive what
major catastrophe flood? That is correct, Yes, ah man, they were
the only past to survive a great flood, and they made human figures from
clay. With the divine power of the Emperor of Heaven, they made the
figures come alive, and so they repopulated the earth with them. So you
know, I like that a lot more than the institutionalized incest required by some
other flood myths. But listen, it's been a few weeks, so it's
time for our regular promise of a flood myth message. Here at Blurry Photos,
Damn Day are working around the clock to provide your top quality entertainment and
then not letting you hear that. Instead, you have to hear us.
And so at this point we are in accordance with FCC regulations. We're going
to promise you a flood Myth episode. It'll be giant two parter or can't
wait. Get your chest a Fields ready. You will be able to stand
the whole episode without a nice, refreshing crisp chestiviere, the smoothest cigarette available
to America. Because of working men, Chesterfield's not availble to women. Here's
the thing, we are so like, we're I think we're too precious about
the flood myth. We just have to do it. We just have to
like just do it, because every time we discuss it it's like, ohh,
I don't know if we have time right now. We really need to
give it its due. It's true though, I'm right now, I'm moving,
I'm in the process right no moving. I know, I know,
and I've I've got all these video games to play. We have a lot
of importance to do. But it's it's common. I don't want to short
change it. I think there's too much out there. Yeah, and it's
gonna be real fun when we get to it. But eighty three percent.
Sorry, probably moving two, I think, yeah, eighty two. Moving
on. So Fushi discovered the markings of the eight trigrams on the back of
a dragon horse. Some stories, it's a turtle. I prefer dragon horse,
thank you. I'll take my stories extra badass and not like do old
term pipers yep, Tannehill weavers. They then evolved into the sixty four hexagrams,
and they were deduced with meanings. They would be used by government and
in writings by dynasties which would gain power and then rededuce them and lose power,
and another dynasty would come up and redduce them. It just the history
of these just seems to go loop de loops. Really, the ponds of
the chang It really can be interesting and also boring at the same time.
Yeah, if you if you're interested in it, go go read upon it.
But I mean, it's here's the again. You enjoy history. It's
a cool history. You don't enjoy history. What the fuck are you doing
with your life? Judged it said that the philosopher Confucius was very interested in
the eaching and wrote a group of commentaries about them. Also also didn't think
that he could study them enough. And in tenninety nine fellow by the name
of King Wynn came up with the hexagrams while in prison. He had the
time. He had the time, and he got inspiration and stacked the trigrams
and then came up with with what each one meant. Yeah, basically the
description of them that that's one version of it. Yeah again yeah, so
hard really really, uh, all of them. We're going to say that's
the official version officially. That's what happened. It's been in use ever since.
I've I've heard a lot of I've had a whole of crap about the
publication of it and how how popular it is with the masses. But I
also followed up with some research on how much it's been published and if it
even appears on like any top ten lists. You know, I really didn't
find anything at the top two. You know, it was the Bible and
the Koran that we're beating on each other. But then like you dickens up
there and out of the back stretch, coming out of the packing. Yeah,
even Agatha Christie. But I never saw any eaching stuff up up there.
But apparently it's it's a very popular tool and book set of you know,
advice, guidelines, all that good stuff, and UH still utilize today,
gaining popularity in the West. Here, good good, I say,
let's talk about let's break it down, talk about these components. Now,
I crossed your eyes earlier, so hopefully that comes. Here comes the mathlete
look out. I have never been called that. Never. So the most
basic part of the eaching is a line, and again can be broken or
unbroken. If it's broken, it's yin. If it's unbroken, it's young
female, male, dark light, dog, cat, blue moon, all
that fat tire. Second component of it, I Graham, this is a
set of three lines. And this is what Fushi saw on the back of
a dragon horse or a turtle shill. It's there. There are eight of
them, and they represent the eight interrelated concepts heaven, earth, thunder,
wind, water, fire, mountain, and lake. Each of them has
corresponding everything's to it, yeah, and then they interact with each other.
Yeah, And the order of that interaction also matters. So so mountain earth
is not the same thing as Earth Mountain, right, Like they're not interchangeable.
And so there's like this this second second layer of logical workings to it,
and which is where it gets so insanely complex. Yeah. Yeah,
And each one of them has kind of a persona of its own. Each
one of them means something different. It could could be something as simple as
like this is the aggressive trigram. It's it means fire and light and happiness,
and and then this if you get like one broken line in there,
it's like this is the dark trigram. And oh man, that's really oversimplifying
it. But that's kind of the idea that it that it goes with this
thing the itaching. Could you really use some simplification, I mean, I
get it. I mean it's been simplified. I mean I understand. That's
why it endures is because of its complexity, that you can get so many
unique messages when very nuanced, a degree of nuanced that the Tarot I don't
think is capable of. It is just so I mean you can literally you
and I could cast the exact same coins and get entirely different readings. True,
I mean like it's it's it's it's I don't know it. Does that
make it awesome? Does it make it maddening? I think probably very awesome.
I think both. Yeah, yeah, awesomely maddening, maddeningly awesome.
So these trigrams that do it, they if you stack two of them,
one on top of the other, they make a hexagram. And with this
hexagram there are sixty four combinations possible, fifty six of which are unique,
but eight of which if you turn them upside down, they'll look the same,
you know, either way. But it does matter. It does so
that that gives you sixty four total. Each of them corresponds to a life
situation, and each of them has a brief description also known as judgments,
and also some short text or statements for each line of the hexagram six and
total. So man, to the listeners, right now, we're in the
woods, okay, we just we're getting through the woods right now, and
we'll be in the clear in a second. So just bear with us,
because this is what the eaching is. And so this entire concept of an
episode is bullshit unless we tell you this new age, even though it's super
dense, and I mean I have it in front of a in front of
me on a computer right now, and even listening to this description and looking
at it, I'm like, hubbo yo wa, yeah, dude, So
just bear with us. We're gonna keep We're gonna plunge onward. My hope
is that we we set up the tea and then we hit the ball,
and then once the ball gets in the hole, then you'll know what happened.
That was well, I tried, do you hear it? Do you
hear it? Galloping in? That's what she's said. We're so good at
romanizing that we should be both shot in the head. I wasn't trying to
harmonize. Should we do it again and try? Sure? All right,
that's what she's sad. I wavered a little. But whereas we tried,
here, here we go. The bottom two lines of the hexagram corresponds with
the body and the environment, the two middle lines corresponds with the subconscious mind,
and the top two lines correspond with the spirit. So there's always a
way to break down every little bit of this thing. And you here,
here's a deal. You always count from the bottom up. So the first
cast of the sticks are the coins, the number one that's your bottom.
And then you you stack on top of that five more times. Think of
it as building a house, like the foundation building up. Think of it
as a tree growing up from the ground. Either way, think of it
as a zombie rising up from a grave. There are lines that are moving,
which means they change from yen to young and vice versa depending on what
you get. Wow, God. And these are based on the casting and
the numbers that add up to it. So there's a little math involved,
unfortunately, a little bit of wild card and a little bit of wild card
involved fortunately unfortunately. In there these are called old and young, yen and
youngs and the old as young. If it's old. If it's old,
it's it's changing. If it's young, it stays the same. Now that's
an irony. Yeah. Uh So, now we get to the casting of
objects, and there are a bunch of different methods whatever you like. There's
a bowling pins one. There's one that's just like a toast toast. You
throw a bunch of toast at a at a pigeon. Yeah, and depending
on which way it flies, that would be a good one. That that's
actually fun. All right, So let's talk about the the oldest. Maybe
what's called plastromancy. By the way, that would be called the elching mestening
with pigeons doesn't count. You are non stop, you are going hard in
the paint. Tonight him hard in the paint. So sorry, I just
dropped us a pretty image point. So the oldest they called plastromancy, which
this was interpreting cracks in heated turtle hills. What, yeah, that is
specific. Yeah, yeah, and apparently I guess it was useful. They
probably ran out of turtles though, so they updated. What about tea leaves?
They had tons of tea leaves, turtles not that many. It's a
different I think it's a whole different ballpark, whole different game. They're playing
tag. They get sharks and jets. We get the tea leaves, posse
and the turtle folks. The next technique that we get is one of the
one of the first and most classic. It's done with what are called the
yarrow stalks. Yeah, yarrow yarrow stock method. It's a pretty complex method
of fifty stalks of this flowering plant called the yarrow plant, which they took.
They took stalks and toss them down and then you pick up some with
some fingers and it's it's complex. I mean, it's it's comdamnation. Man.
You can keep in mind the geographic area in which this is popular,
so there is definitely like, oh do you do eaching Fushan style? Because
I do? Mind right, Yeah exactly. I was kind of I brought
up around Walm Mountain, so this is how we do it. The yarrow
stock method was replaced by the coin method, one of the methods that is
pretty popular still today. Yeah, that's the method that I'm familiar with.
It's quick, it's easy, and anything and anything can happen. Look out,
everybody, look coin method. It's a lot of fun, a lot
of fun. Take it home with the whole family. Thanksgivings coming up,
teach it to the end, laws, big big holiday and chat Thanksgiving.
Um. Anything with with heads and tails is used. Anything that's gonna heads
and tails on it. Um. So So coins are easy, U two
dimensional object. The classic way of doing it is the three coin toss.
You toss three coins, three coins in a fountain. Seriously, Sinatra trying
to m wrote that one did I love? Do you know? It's great?
Planes, trains and automobiles, Steve Martin, they just get they they're
singing songs on a bus and they're like, come on, sing a song.
He's like, okay, three coins in a fountain and everyone stares at
him, and then John Canny just goes um planstones Lanstones and everyone sings along.
So clearly there's something about that song that some people don't enjoy. Just
because I looked that, I just saw you look like an angry bus rider,
usual I usually, and that's my Chicago face. Uh So, So
you toss three coins and for every heads that you get, it's a three,
and for every tails it's a two, and then you totaled them up
so you can get a total of six, seven, eight or nine.
Yeah, and these are what how you know if they're changing or not?
So a six would be the old yin that's a changing line, A seven
would be a young young, an eight would be a young yin, and
a nine would be an old young, which is a changing line. There's
also apparently a four, a six, and a two coin method that's out
there. I actually had all you, even Stevens have done. Yeah,
I've done a six the six coin method before, and when I started reading
all this, I was like, no, I didn't do any of this
at all. See, man, this thing is dense. Yeah. Yeah.
And you know what, though, you would think that with all this
like variability, that like when you finally do all the math, you carry
the one you slap an abbocus around for half an hour, you would think
that it would be like a clear this is what you have to do,
no wrong, moving on. I don't want to. I don't want to
get to the meat of it. Yeah, for the record, we're in
the meat of it right now. I don't want anybody think that, Like
Jesus, they're just getting started. We told you it's a mountain. You
know, we're working towards the bone. There's a lot of meat and gristle
on the plate. The thing with the six coin method is is that you
are forced to have a moving line, right, and only one, because
you use five coins that are the same and then one coin that's slightly different.
So it's like five pennies and one dime, and then the dime is
the moving line. Yeah. If you do the three coin which I think
is the most used or at least most traditional method with coins, that's the
standard, you get a probability where you you have a chance of not getting
a moving line in there. Well, that's see. And sometimes life doesn't
give you a moving line, right, Sometimes those lines are stagnant. Do
Also, you can use dice. This is apparently easier for preserving probability.
Really, for some reason, I thought you were saying, apparently that's easier
for prisoners. I really thought you were going to say prisoners. Well it
is. It is. You can use marbles, which you get sixteen marbles
of four colors, and you put them all in a bag and draw six
of them out. Okay, Yeah, And you can also use rice,
where you can pick up rice with your middle finger and thumb, place them
on some paper, and then when you're done with six piles of them,
you count them and if depending on if they're even or odd, that's your
youn and young. And there's no moving line in that one. Well,
then there's just all I mean, if all you're doing is pinch and rice,
you can't afford a moving line. You don't have the money for that
kind of opulence. Rice pinchers, rice pincher, that's what that's how you
know somebody's poor world. Yeah, those are your components. They go into
that. That's that's you know, it's it's like playing a Steve Jackson game.
It's can you make it siliar to the listeners that we have just exited
the forest? Um? Oh no we didn't, did we. Do you
want some music for that sound effect? What do you want? Give me
a sound effect at all? Uh? Oh uh? Freedom from too much
math sound? Yeah? Work that out, okay, and you will.
You will. It'll be like the saving money responsibies. And I also like
encourage everyone and I should have said this a while ago. Um, but
go ahead and go online and just Google eaching and there's a thousand different like
online eaching clients that are like, oh, type your question and click this
button and you it'll animate the things getting played out, and it makes a
lot more sense just to see it once you're like, oh, so there's
the coins and then that's gotcha. I would advise going on there and looking
at the hexagrams there. You can find them pretty easily. Think about the
eaching with it being so big and stuff. There are there are thousands of
sites, there are thousands of videos. I would not much substance, not
a much substance, but it'll get you a kind of where you're going.
I would also recommend if you're gonna google something, google Metallica. Oh yeah,
yeah, see, let's see what they're up to. I would recommend
corn. I like corn, so they're kri in the band. All right?
Wait, wait, wait, I know a corn? Right? Right?
Am? I? Right? No? I can rock with you guys.
Go o, fellow children, I too enjoy a loud rocking song.
I can't wait to get home on my skateboard. I feel misunderstood by my
parents. All right, before we before we get into the dessert, which
is us throwing some coins at each other. Yes, we're going to talk
about the psychological aspect of this a little bit. This advice that the eaching
can give out. Now, if you are a die hard eaching person,
this this might come as a curveball coming from us, but we also would
like to take a rational and skeptic approach, just to see the other side
of the coin here. The advice that it doles out can can be a
little hard to understand, and thus it makes it a little personal to the
person who is asking. Yeah, it allows for ambiguity, for multiple interpretations.
Again, that that gives it some longevity, gives it some legs to
run with there's also the old confirmation bias, which means one tends to notice
things that confirm one's beliefs and downplay or ignore those that don't. Preconceived notion,
that's the confirmation bias. That's that's afraid that. I'm afraid that we're
going to be referencing that intro a lot. For a while, confirmation bias
was a good would be a good Yeah, there you go, a good
horse in that race. You also get what's called the Barnum effect or aka
the four effect, when one tends to find personal meaning in statements that can
apply to almost anyone. This is why they put horoscopes in papers. Yep,
that's that's what you get. They put out there. They put out
stuff that can apply to anybody and are very vague but still personal enough for
somebody to be like, yeah, that's me. Yeah, yeah, I
totally get that. It's talking about me. Man. Here's here's an old
friend, Carl Young. Leave us alone. Carl, seriously, quit horning
in on all of our episodes. Carl really wants us to do and it's
not gonna happen, Carl, it might happen. Quit trying to make Carl
happen. It isn't gonna happen. Carl makes Carl happen. Young believed the
eaching was a great example of synchronicity, stating, whatever is born or done
in this moment of time has the quality of this moment of time. Oh
that's that's so deep. Carl. I like Carl, but I might push
for an Old Young episode one day, not before the flood myth though.
Oh man, I mean he is crazy, Captain Carl. I don't know.
Maybe I'll have to lose a bet for that to happen. Carl drown
the Carl Nadir, Carly Simo like you. All right, I'm warming to
it good. I'm glad an old crappy Saturday Night Live. Warm you up,
Dave. Yeah, hey, let's throw some coins at each other.
Oh man, I'm gonna throw these things so hard. Don't lose them.
I'm not gonna. Okay, here we go. All right, we have
our coins, Yeah we do. Let's verify that there's a heads on each
of them and a very clear tales. Yeah we did it again, just
like in Taro with with these questions that you ask, you don't want to
do negative questions and for this one. You don't want to do yes and
no answers. Oh okay, I thought that was helping. Okay, no,
um, because they're so ambiguous. Okay, I've got a good one.
Then, also, you don't want to ask should I do this job
interview or should I not do this job interview, because then it's gonna be
like, right, well, how do you know what? You just broke
the computer? Yeah, okay, I got it. My question is how
are we doing on this episode? This one, This one gonna go pretty
good for the people. So then you you think about that question. Shake
them up. We have six tosses, six casts, and then we do
the math for each yep, heads is three tails us two. Okay,
that's one two Jesus, changing line four and six. Okay, all right,
all right, I did it. I did it. So now we
build from the bottom up. What is your bottom one? Total? Uh?
Seven, that's a solid, solid line and young young. That's a
young young. Uh yeah it is. Yeah, I know because I paid
attention in class. Dog good, So that's that's a solid line. Unchanging
your next one seven? Here you go man nine. Oh, that's a
changing young. So that's an old young. Then sevens from here, No
at seven seven and then eight mm. So that's that's just a n.
So with the changing line, you draw the hexagram again and then just change
it over to the new line, so that that nine that you got that
was a solid line is now going to be a broken line. So you've
got solid solid broken, solid solid broken. Yeah, that's what I've got.
Let's see which one that is here? Okay, that is hexagram fifty
eight. It's Lake over Lake, and I've got self confidence, encouragement,
pleasure, also straight talk and speak your mind. Oh this is this is
really working, it says Lake over Lake. This is a double trigram friendly
interchange. The most important question we need to ask about the universe is is
it friendly? Joyous self expression? Come out into the open and freely express
your ideas and fee seek people and influences that are responsive to your openness.
Difficulties are more easily overcome when you are enjoying yourself. Your ingenuity and inventiveness
will serve you well if you could. There's nothing there's nothing in the eaching
that is more relevant to recording a podcast than what we just heard. The
eaching is for real. Now you had line three. That was moving or
changing? Oh yeah, it was all over the place according to this.
According to the book I'm reading, it says line three moving a tempting offer.
Are you pleasing yourself or doing something in order to please another? There
may be some external temptations. Happiness comes from within. Are you doing another
podcast? Nor? Um? No, I am not. I'm a one
man. Wait, I'm a one lady kind of guy. Oh good,
this is the only podcast I'm sleeping with. Well, the other book I've
got says this corresponds to how can you fully enjoy the moment? What are
you bringing to expression? What if you communicated and exchanged more freely? And
also opening creating success? Constancy bears fruit? Good? Okay, great,
you see how this goes line like the other one way more. Line three
coming opening comma pitfall. Coming opening means looking expectantly for what you want to
come to you easily and on your own terms. You try to dictate how
things will be. This doesn't work. The joy you seek can't simply come
to you from outside, but only arises from authentic exchange. I believe if
we do anything, we have authentic exchange. Yep, yep, yep,
we are authentically exchanging long chain polypeptides. Oh, if you know of a
better way to do it, I'd like to see it. Kotas and Kang
holding hands as Bill Clinton and Bob Dole. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah,
that's how you do it. All right? Cool, suck up,
fairpoint podcast. There's your sympings reference. I went deep, great turn.
That was the most respectful of the sucker bats. By the way, suck.
That's our next section on the podcast, suck thats the following people can
suck it all right, give me the coins. I'm gonna do it,
all right, I'm going to I'm gonna go generic because I don't have anything
better. I'm gonna say, what does the universe want me to know?
Right now? I'm gonna shake him up real good. Shake him up,
Shake him up, shake him up, shake him It's one. Okay,
keep tracking the same thing. Yeah you are. This is your third seven
in a row. Now this pressure? Can you keep doing it? I
broke you two more? Yeah, shake it up to your big one and
you return to the well. Great, all right, let's see here we
got seven seven seven eight seven seven. Geez Louise, all right, what
do we got here? I'll tell you what you got here. You got
your standard tree over sky. That is hexagram number nine. Okay, So
the watchwords are interference, intuition, and taking precautions great. Pay attention to
your premonitions. Clouds are gathering, waiting for rain. It sounds like the
happiest one. I killed it. I did great. And that's what you
were talking about the podcast. I'm talking about me. I know, I
know. I keep this thing far away from me. All right. Here
we go the wind in the sky, touching and sensing distant things. Your
creative power is manifesting and subtle and far reaching ways. The forecaster reads the
signs in the sky and knows what is going to happen. Overlooking the smallest
warning sign that something is wrong may hold you back. This may lead to
feelings of doubt, uncertainty, and indecision, probably because it just told you
that if you missed the slightest detail, you're doomed. As with a puzzle,
collect all the pieces before beginning. You have the sensitivity to know what
is going on as far as the rain. You've weathered the storm for the
moment, all is well. Use this time to build up your energy and
resources your troubles are not over yet. You are about to move. Yeah,
all right, so let's check the other book. Okay, that's sad.
So Hexagram nine, also called the small Taming key. Questions for yourself
are what small thing can I work on today? How can I cultivate a
better terrain? Small taming great creating success? Dense clouds without rain come from
the western altires. Okay. To tame is to restrain and also to accumulate
and nurture. It's what the farmer does here. The small farmer cultivates the
soil of his own small plot, hoping the offerings made at the western altars
will bring rain. So this sounds like this is like for investing. Now
is you're you're planting the seeds so that you might reap the seeds. Okay,
jeez, Yeah, sounds like this is an investment phase. You're about
to move to a brand new apartment. I'm investing in a better place to
live. Yeah, it doesn't fall in on my head. Yeah. I
like the first book more for both of us. I felt like that had
more more relevant and it's funny. The first book is the first one that
I got and read, and that one describes doing the six coin method,
where you have to have a moving line. Yeah, basically. And it's
interesting because obviously I did six throws and didn't get a six or nine in
any of them. Yeah, therefore I didn't have any moving or changing lines
in there. So uh wow, Okay, well you you had the right
idea. Whoop whoop. And I'm glad that the podcast question was the positive
one. It's because I care more about the podcast than I do about my
own life. Oh okay, if someone were to shoot this podcast, i'd
be all past blurry photos the movie The Blurry Guard. That's brilliant. So
there you go. Man, Wow, that's that's that's what our future has.
What is your future has? Yeah? Find out online and if you
know what you're doing, a book at the eaching, If you actually know
what you're doing and can tell us how wrong we are, go ahead and
right in. Dude, we did the math. We did it right.
If you call and tell us how wrong we are, I'm gonna eaching your
face. Uh. That's that's the eaching though. In a oh man,
a nutshell that's black and white. Yeah, a little spot, little turtle
shell, a little turtles there. Oh, man. Well, listen,
I don't need to throw no coins to know what is directly in our future.
Really, yeah, what is it? Oh oracle? Hold on?
Oh it is puns? Oh you threw them anyway? Yeah, well I
wanted to be sure and you made a mess. I made a huge mess.
Why don't you flip to see who's going first? Then? Oh suck
you suck you fate. Okay, mister, I'm gonna I'm gonna rely on
chances that awesome Maori mask going call it in the air home slice me yeah,
tails tatles it tis I'm two for two. Bro, you are You're
really good at this? All right? I mean you go first or I
go first. I don't know. I think you put I think you pick
oh I pick um? Then you go first? All right? Okay,
before Isaac asthma, I've really gotten involved with science fiction. As a writer,
he also dealt with a lot of ancient Chinese history and um their methods
of divination and prognostication, and so he wrote a book called I Ching,
Yeah, Yeah Dared. I'm I am personally quite satisfied with that pun.
Starting one starring Will Smith. You do not throw more than three coins that's
right, all right. What you got a long way to go to be
as good as I things? All right, I've got I've got a store
that has a lot of incense and candles and stuff that smells good, spice
up your home. It's called the Poper Reaching. Oh I like that.
I like that. Oh man, I got a good one. Now are
you ready for this? Oh? I might be, then again I might
not. Yeah. So Diggie Toots it's got himself a new protege. Who's
this new Diggie Toots? You tweet Nabel. He's got himself a Protege's he's
trying to invest in, like a Justin Bieber. Yeah, and a young
upcoming rapper. Okaygeos is proud to present Young Young, his Young Young.
His first album is called Roland sevens Young Young. Yeah. That's why I
knew what seven was because I'd already written the pun. Oh gosh, I
like it. I like it. It sounds like it could be real.
Yeah, that's what makes it all right? All Right, I've got a
I've got a restaurant that has sixty four delicious and spicy Southwestern dishes. Uh
huh you you you kind of leave it up to fate to choose which which
sixty four dishes? You get devil know what you're going to get. It's
the text mixigrams. Oh wow, oh god, well done, well done.
Oh okay, I've got a I've got a bonus one for you.
Yeah, it's a it's a magazine about people. Uh, you know,
if it's if the weekend's coming up and you're not sure, like where you
want to go out to have the future told for you to learn more about
your present, just grab a copy of Eaching Out. Yeah, it's a
bonus. You're enriched for having you. I'm telling you, young young Roland
sevens. Yeah, pretty good, pretty good. Huh. If you guys
have a you guys got a nice business or product based on the eaching let
us know. Yeah, we'd love to hear it. Oh Flora what oh
man? Well, the top one, the top one looks like a mountain,
and you add that over and then it's that one's that one's the moving
one. Oh so it's a listener. Man, those children should not be
cheering. You know, we've got a lot to get to. Oh my
god, those kids don't know what the death marks they're about to go on
so this is what happens. This is the hexagram. Was us under mountain
of mail? Yeah, so yeah, clearly sorry about that. We uh,
Flora had some life hit him in the face. I had some life
hitting me in the face. It all had a lot of life this this
couple of weeks. We don't like to make excuses, so we won't,
right, but we'll get to we'll get to your guys stuff here. So
I hope you guys like listener mail, because it's about to hit. We're
going to master blast to it exactly right off the bat ask, and you
shall receive all up in our grails. Yes, man, we did ask,
we did, and we did receive. Oh, dear web, thanks
for your offer to move. We got it, but I really appreciate it.
That was very very nice. So Bob hit us up with a couple
of real life experience he's had. I love the way he puts it.
A couple of things that have happened to me in the last forty or so
years. The first one, he was very very young, as he was
just laying down in bed, he was just kind of thinking about his day
as he still does, and he saw a door in his room up here
in the wall like an old kind of medievally door. And as it opens,
there's a yellowish light and it only opens about six inches and it's on
the opposite wall of the room. And this bony arm reaches out and it
just keeps reaching. It starts stretching and stretching straight to him, and Bob's
you know, I was like in this voice keeps repeating, whatever you do,
don't leave the bed, which I don't think it had his best interest
at heart. So Bob, like any good American, loses his ship more
accurately his europe Sure screams and what's the bed? Mom runs into the room.
The arms is receding back as the mom's approaching, and the last thing
he hears is I'll be back. But so that and so that didn't That
didn't turn out well for Bob. Mom took care of that. And then
many years later, Bob now a grown man. He's got he's got a
wife and kids of his own. He's a marine, he's not afraid of
nothing. He's going to semprify the sh out of that door, except for
a door doesn't show up. A seven foot black, shadowy figure strides into
his room and sits on his bed, he feels the bed shift under the
wait and it just turns to look at him. Now, Bob, who
because he's a marine and is always prepared, keeps his marine tactical k bar
knife, which I have always wanted one in his nightstand. He does not
opt for that. He opts for the more powerful weapon, screaming for his
wife gosh and um yeah and again you know, it disappeared. And in
discussing this with some of his friends on a more theological ben because Bob's very
active in his church at the time that this was almost deternity. He spoke
to some people at his church kind of like an Italian mafia intimidation move,
you know, maybe we just send a guy by your house. This is
an awfully nice soul. You have their pity if something would tear it out
of you. So that's spooky stuff. It's it's incredibly spooky. Yeah,
and that the interesting part about it is just seeing it is one thing,
but the feeling of the bed shift, that the thought of the voice,
you know, it's like it's it's compounded, which which makes it incredibly creepy.
Yeah, that is. Yeah, it's those secondary things that you notice.
Yeah, so that you know you're not inventing it. You know,
you feel something else happened. There's another sensory input brought into play. And
the arm that just keeps stretching. Yeah, yeah, that's nightmare stuff.
I mean sounds sounds demonic, sounds like gin sounds like yeah, that's very
cold. Could be you know, even head games that are being played by
by something mind the games board, the games for the mind. Yeah,
thanks for sharing that though, Bob, Thank you. And Bob also has
this interesting uh insight maybe explaining some cryptids. Oh yeah, take them off
man. You know, he hangs out in dark, deserted areas, maybe
even the corner bars in downtown Scratton area. He's got red eyes, bad
disposition, aggressive. He might just be a paint contractor. Oh oh,
I see. He also hits us with with this a gift given to ancient
peoples from stranded aliens to help make peace between the two cultures that obviously did
not quite work out. Yeah, the dropapa on Aropa. There's an implication
sorry sex threat there. Also Bob hits us with this one. It's a
group of super rich, powerful men with very running noses who run the world.
It's the illuminous natty. Oh they don't care, No, they don't
they'll they'll get it all over everything. They're just in with big tissue,
good hoots, big clean X. Awesome, Thanks Bob, thanks for writing
in. Thanks for making all of our recent wishes come true. A lifelong
friend of the podcast, Moving On, Taper writes us In, says he
enjoyed the Dibick Box episode. Thanks Taper, Glagie enjoyed that. Hope you
nothing went wrong for you. I got some stories of some some things going
wrong for people having having bad luck the day they listened to it. Not
many, but I heard from some friends. Taper says that he was fascinated
by the idea of a malign spirit as an attacher, and he realized,
on thinking about it, exactly what's going to happen to people who in the
far future unearthed the Dibick Box. They'll be attacked by klingons. I get
it as what he did there? Did you pay? Well played? We
got another great letter from our friend Jen, Hey, Jen, who has
amended her workouts schedule to include bicycle helmets and maybe staying off the treadmill quite
so much. I mean it's really either or. Um, you don't have
to do both. You could, you could, but um but yeah,
so, and thank you for your well wishing with the dipick box episode.
Um, I all of the issues that we ran into since our last episode,
none of them have been really technological in nature. No, thank goodness.
Yeah, so I feel like we dodged all. I think we took
me a while to get that one out, but still we were respectful.
Maybe on accident, sure, not on purpose. Sure. Uh. And
Jen, thank you for for thank you for spreading the good word about blurry
photos to you and yours. And if you're a friend of Jen's, know
that, Uh, Jen's pretty cool. I mean that's not cool, not
that you don't already know that, but maybe you could afford to have that
reinforce to you. Maybe buy her at cheese steak. Yeah, good idea,
like a really good one. Yeah, can man buy at cheese steak?
What are you going? So? Don't be a fu and uh,
Jenn, to answer your question, Yes, George Washington did have a secret
spy ring. It was called the culper Ring. The culper Ring. Yeah,
and we actually did look into that. And uh, I think we've
mentioned it once or twice, I think. Yeah, we did touch on
that on our Revolutionary War episode. Yeah, yeah, that is that.
Ain't that? Ain't Bullstein. That's a real thing. No Bullstone there.
Yeah, go back to our July episodes and find that one. We've got
all kinds of stuff that's right up your ally, Britt. We love histories
and mysteries. And you got an email from Don who requested the EVP link
and so you shall have it, which I sent it to him later.
It took longer than I should have, and I'm sorry, Don, but
hopefully you enjoyed that. It's not like you, I'm a certificate to be
the King of Halloween or something. I mean, I'm so sorry. I'm
just such a bad person life. I've hit us in the face. Ye
took our knee caps out. But Don also gives us a bonus pun,
going back to our first ghost Stories episode, when we discovered the erotic openings
of his stories. He says, Wooden reading the Odyssey in such a way
make it Homer erotica. Yes, it would good stuff. Oh yeah,
classic, well played classic in two ways. Oh nice, awesome, thanks
Don, Tim hit us with an awesome pun. Oh oh, come on,
yes, man, yes, yes, and don't deny it. It
happened. Recognize it. Um, Tim minutes with this, and I hope,
I hope that we were all big fans of the TV show, all
in the family, because what was the box where Michael and Gloria kept all
their family mementos. It was the stiffc box. That's over my head.
Come on, it's it's it's Rob Reiner and Sally Struthers played the Sally has
played the daughters. You married him. They called him meathead all the time.
They were the Stavics. Okay, ah you kids. Thank you,
Tim. You're smarter than Flora by a lot. I appreciate. I appreciate
the pun. I just I'm too young, such a youth. Utes.
Connor writes us in with some very kind words. We've had some some storms
in the area lately. Luckily they have missed us in the Chicago land area,
but not the rest of the states. The rest of the state has
has gotten royally wailed on with November tornadoes. Ye crazy awful stuff. Yeah,
so, um, thanks thanks for your kind words. Our thoughts and
prayers go out to the people affected by that as well. And uh,
we're still keeping on, keeping on through all the crazy stuff. It was
some bad stuff that happened in the city, but nothing anywhere near as bad
as Yeah, it could have been worse some spots. But he also sends
us some puns. He says, a few people know that before Sam Cherimi
was the crack very private eye, his life was spent under the scrutiny of
others. Having been looked down upon by the world, Sam became quite the
notorious prankster, for which he was arrested for scaring people half to death shooting
them his signature move the stink eye Sam Scherimi, and he says, I
think the Illuminati sounds like a huge pyramid scheme. Someone should keep an eye
on. That. Really well played. I like that style of pun.
That's a that's a good layered pun. Yeah, I really like that.
Well done. Thank you Connor, And it's time for our most elegant portion
of listener mail. Oh dear Gray Cat, fancy fie. Gray Cat is
elegant because I every time I see an email from him, like it's the
King of Halloween. But he has no paperwork to that. But he is
really elegant of him not to run because as soon as you hand that to
him, he's going to take your head off. I know, because he'll
be within his right to do so. Absolutely he will. He's he'll be
the King of Halloween for the entire year until the new King Halloween is crowned,
and we have to determine how to figure that out. I mean,
he kind of got in on a technicality that I'm honoring it, sure,
but technicality nonetheless, I like your lawyering their fancy feast, all right to
the pums. How about a new national holiday being promoted by the Fox Farmers
of America called Try Fox Day. M delicious like a fox? Oh yeah,
we tried one, stringy. It's cleverly delicious. Also, how about
a very unpopular topping for bagels called dibbit locks. It smells like cat urine
and it causes people have strokes. You'll be buried with it. Well done,
great kat, Thank you, excellent. How about a pun from old
Johnny Robots. Hey there, Johnny Robots flying in on his jet pack with
this pun. Did you guys hear the story about the gremlins that we're messing
with airplane wings? It was riveting, Oh, Johnny Robots Johnny robots.
You would know about ribots, wouldn't you. It's right because you're made entirely
of prefabricated parts and you don't understand human emotions. What is humor? Tell
me of this? Laugh, la, Johnny robots. There we go,
and that closes it out. Circle gets a square. Thank you all of
you for writing in uh and we will be back in our very regular schedule
now, yeah, hopefully so yep, life, life is getting sorted out
once more, and we've got at least we can anticipate things like crished moss,
so we'll be able to we'll be able to keep the mass even better
than that Crompus knocked. Oh it's coming, It's coming you naughty little children,
children, crouches children. So yeah, I mean, it's not too
late to try to redeem your evil acts. But man, you aren't going
to get whipped, put in a basket and made to make toys yep,
