“well, I embrace you. I don't embrace you the lifestyle, which feels like a revolt. But also, like, why not? Here's the thing. It's like, it's the evidence in the Bible, it's all Old Testament stuff, right? Leviticus and all that business. But you got to look at what else is in Old Testament stuff.”

“Yeah. Like I enjoy that way more. I mean, I've read the Bible a couple times and it's nice, but I'm not. Like, I just don't buy into any of it. Not just Christianity, not just trying to attack them, but like anybody, really. I think they're trying to tell a story.”

“Moses was like, or Noah. Noah was like 600 years old when he built Methuselah, who's like, I think the oldest person in the Bible, I believe, is Methuselah. I mean, yeah, there's Abraham. Abraham was like, you know, hundreds of years old, I believe.”

“With him, it just started with walking. Well, that's the thing. So I did buy a treadmill, which has now become a clothes rack, but I did buy a treadmill. And I was like walking on. I was like, oh, look at me. I'm like, you're making a difference.”

“And I was breathing a little heavy, but it was, you know, just because it had been like 30 minutes on the treadmill. And then I got afraid that I couldn't catch my breath and I had a panic attack. And I was like, oh, this isn't good. And then every time I got on it, I immediately was like, oh, this isn't good. My breath, I'm out of breath, which it was fine.”

“Yeah. It's an interventionist. No, I'm not really. But you know what? One thing that would really help? Huh. Putting your treadmill in front of a television and watching a movie. Yeah. So that's what I was doing. Well, that's great. It's a great way to do it. Yeah, I was watching Lord of the Rings because I was like, I want to do the walk to the corridor thing.”

“Look at me. That's what he was doing. He blew it right in Hanks's face. Scopolamine is one of the ingredients in dramamine. Oh. So I don't know. I guess it's a very small dose, but in a larger dose. So this guy, this young guy came up behind this guy in India and he put it on his neck.”

“I forgot about that movie. Yeah, Serpent in the Rainbow is one of my, I used to watch that all the time when I was a little kid. Well, they think that that might be a part of the whole zombie lore that scopolamine used. Okay. Oh, that makes sense. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah.”

“Well, you are a guy who's like, like I asked you, I go, oh, you got an Android phone. And you go, yeah, I'm not a sheep. Amen. Yep. Never will always have had an Android. I mean, that's also just kind of out of laziness because I just don't want to learn something new.”

“It is so many of those weird. Yeah, there's some interesting ones with that, or like where you'll have like a Coca-Cola can that looks red in the picture, but it's actually all black and white. It's just because there's these tiny green lines. Oh, yeah. Okay, I remember seeing this one.”

“Yes. Where you get to read these very unusual takes on reality. Like Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? Hunter Thompson. Yeah. There's a lot of people like that that have just written wild things that just make you just rethink the world that we're living in.”

“Like you, you become like a zombie. Yeah, it is like a zombie drug. Not only is it real, but it's also the active ingredient in anti-seasickness medication. So when you take dramamine, I'm the captain now. Dramamine.”

“It's the Epic of Gilgamesh. Yeah. Damn flood. The oldest story there is. Yeah. So, yeah. Yeah, I just, you know, people like now want to have an answer to something.”

“Well, that's the problem with committing to something like that. Because if you tried an Apple iPhone and you realize, oh my God, this is so much easier to use and better and it does things for. Yeah. I don't want to even think about that.”

“Henry Ford's views on the Jewish population struck a nerve with a young man in Austria who included Henry Ford in his manifesto, Mein Kampf. Henry Ford was the only American complimented in that book written by a young Adolf Hitler.”

“Like, oh, you have an Android? Yeah. Like, I also don't care. Like, I would be just fine. If I didn't use this as like an easy way to read shit, I'd go back to having a damn, you know, a Razr, you know, or like some flip phone. Flip phone would be great if it was better at texting.”

Our IdentificationSaid as “Razr”. We believe this refers to Motorola Razr V3.

“Do you know who he is? He's a scholar and he wrote a great book called The Immortality Key that is all about the Illusinian mysteries in ancient Greece, which I believe Marcus Aurelio participated in. Right, right, right. And when Marcus Aurelius participated in that, I'm most certain that that flavored some of his writings, particularly meditations.”

“Thanks for having me again. My pleasure. Like I said, I love your page. Your book is Where Did That Come From? The Hidden History of Everyday Words and Phrases. Cody Tucker out now. Is there an audio version of this? No, not yet, but I am working on one. I got the person who did the graphics, which I got to give her a shout out.”

“And then I went out with my wife and had a, I think I had a margarita. Margarita or a glass of wine, something like that. And then I was like, oh, I think I'm back. Yeah. I like it. See, that's my problem. I can't have a little of something. That's the big problem. And that's why drinking was kind of easy.”
