ACAST. ACAST.com. Thanks for tuning in to 99.5WRAW, Freeform Radio, for Freeform People. Good morning, good afternoon, nice evening, and a special hello to our late night listeners, WRAW, 99.5.
W-R-A-W. Dang, you know what I just remembered? What? We forgot to reply to that email for W-M-U-A.
Oh, it's for tomorrow, but I don't think that can happen because the kitty's got to go in for their appointment. Someone asked to interview us on terrestrial radio. W-M-U-A. That would have been so fun.
We've done it once before, but tomorrow's not a good day, and this person's schedule is the other Thursdays are available. You're out of town. Dang. Dang, I know.
I love W-M-U-A. Yeah. Well, university of Massachusetts radio. I'll try to reply to that email after this.
Great college radio station. Yeah, what you doing? I'm still dancing to that beat. The radio beat.
That was like a short wave radio recording that I made. Oh my gosh, that reminds me, another thing that reminds me. I should have taken a picture of it. I'll take a picture of it next time I'm in Wisconsin.
It was the first radio my mom purchased with her money that she earned or whatever. I don't know. It's a really adorable small little transistor radio thing. It's white and retro.
It's gold and a little stand. Like what? Bakelite? What's bakelite?
Is that the brand? It's like a almost plastic geek stuff from the 50s and 60s. Bakelite. Bakelite radios.
I don't know. I mean, that's not ringing a bell, maybe if I look it up. It was really cute. I should have taken a picture of it for you.
I will. The hits keep on coming. Coming up next, 9-0-6-Ear Anuses 99. I mean a total.
The anus is as beautiful as the ear. Not enough. Every organ in our body is a magnificent expression of life. Not enough.
The anus is as beautiful as the ear. The anus is as beautiful as the ear. Not enough. Every organ in our body is a magnificent expression of life.
Without our anus, we would have no way to release what the body no longer needs. We would die very quickly. Not enough. The anus is as beautiful as the ear.
Not enough. Every organ in our body is a magnificent expression of life. The anus is as beautiful as the ear. Stop.
I hope it stops sitting. I hope so too. I've heard that now and now. Thank you.
Not enough. Please end. That was 9-0-9-9. The anus is 99 by Nina Toto.
What the heck? Oh my God. Okay. I have so many questions.
What the heck is that? It's Nina Toto. Nina Toto. Okay.
But where is the one? The anus is like the ear? That's the spiritual mother to us all. Louise Hay.
Oh stop. Stop. It is. She talks about the anus.
I'm telling you. What? The ear? I don't understand that correlation at all.
The ear is as beautiful as the anus. The anus is as beautiful as the ear. She's just saying that the ear is beautiful? The anus is beautiful?
Let me tell you something. Okay. I don't want to explain it too much because it's going to explain itself very soon. I love self-help stuff.
I've read terrible self-help books willingly. I like it because it's like someone who's explaining how they've found the secret, the secret of life. And then at some point it goes off the rails. She does too by the way.
That's what I'm saying. Oh, hardcore. That's what I'm saying. At some point it's like, and then when it goes off the rails, I read this terrible book about that Hawaiian, what do you call that?
There's a name for it. Bored Track Man. Bored Track Man please. Help me.
I'm reading the book. I'm like, oh God. Jesus. I'm getting sick of this guy talking about how great this method is.
He won't say anything about it. He won't explain the method at all. He's just leading us. I'm like, this is a fucking...
I'm sorry. I thought I was going to learn something about it. I thought I was going to get a historical thing. But it was him just then relentlessly bragging.
And I've read other ones like that at some point. You're like, oh you're nuts. Oh shit. You're actually crazy.
And I kind of like it. You know? I kind of like that. You're not alone.
I mean, people seem to make entire careers out of just self-help books. Of course they do. Once they hit that... We are all so fucking desperate for help.
Once they hit that vein. So I read them always like, you know, I kind of cherry pick them, but I just... I don't know. And also the idea that people know what the fuck is going on fascinates me.
You know? I read a Louise Hay book. And it's kind of like her most famous one. I think it's called You Can Heal Your Life.
And a lot of people reference it who are self-help people. She was very influential. I think that's her second one. Is that her second one?
That's the one that excerpt comes from. Oh, is it? Okay. I will say this.
I, like you, have also done a fairly deep dive into the self-help section of the library of the bookstore because, yeah, I need help. Just like you and like millions of others who struggles with the myriad of things. And in this modern world we live in, and so people say they're there to help us. And I'm like, oh, someone's here to help me.
And they have suggestions. I'll take it. And I've read it like a fair amount of them. And so then you can kind of like skim the things that mean something to you and things that don't or some are just total garbage.
And that's fine. I will say, I remember. I don't actually... That book doesn't stand out to me too much only just that when it got to the certain, there was a turning point, like a really big pivot where it was like, you know, kind of like relatable stuff about, you know, how to quote unquote heal your life, your, your, your trauma, et cetera.
But then she gets like really specific, like you gave yourself this by stress, you know, or like... That's in that chapter. The body chapter. The body chapter is like wild.
It's so crazy. It's like, and yeah, so you gave your self-press cancer and you're sitting there like, what? I did. You know where it's like every single thing.
You're like, you did that, check. You did it to yourself. That's the person. Yeah.
She goes and it's the longest chapter. It's really long. And it's all about how every...it's all your fault and everything and not just like being sick and diseases, but also like, hey, you broke your arm. It's your fault.
And there...I mean, there's...I mean, when I broke my collarbone, I felt like I deserved it. I really did. Well, that one was...I would say that actually was a perfect example though of...and this happens to me too a lot. And I'm sure it happens to other people.
When you get distracted in your brain, you often get injured. I do too. Because you're spinning and you're not really paying attention. So it's...you were kind of like, you know what I mean?
That fault for that one, I guess if that's the right one. No, I can go into death without that. But like, yeah, it was my fault. I mean, I was cursing the letter and it slept on ice.
Just sort of like if I'm chopping tomato or vegetables in my brain, you know, all that thought. Freeform radio presents a public service announcement. Just for a moment, try to visualize the vastness of the universe. It is beyond our comprehension.
Even our top scientists with their latest equipment cannot measure its size. And within this universe, there are many galaxies. And in one of these smaller galaxies, in a far off corner, there is a minor sum. And around this sum revolves a few pinpoints, one of which is called planet Earth.
I find it hard to believe that the vast, incredible intelligence that created this entire universe is only an old man sitting on a cloud above the planet Earth, watching my genital. Interestingly, my brain headache can almost always be alleviated by masturbation. If you do it as soon as you feel a migraine coming on, the sexual relief dissolves the tension and the pain. You may not feel like masturbating then, but it's certainly worth a try.
I do not believe there is anything wrong with having several partners. We've saved sex as crackers. You've got social dialed in. Search is doing its thing.

Exer, but are we? No. We're not going to mention her in the description. No one's going to talk about it.
If you use her in a comment, we're going to delete the comment. Yeah, comment will be in me. Let's come up with a code name right now for her, you guys. Grandma.
Grandma. Okay, grandma, grandma, grandma snow, because she had white hair. So let's call her grandma snow. If you're going to comment on this episode, grandma snow.
Let someone's guarding her estate right now, because she passed away. Yeah. In her sleep with no apparent cause at the age of 90, she fucking kept control until the last bit. Damn, maybe she's right.
Oh, she was right, all right. She died right. Woman died right. She died right.
She died right. But boy, everything's your fault. And I was thinking about, I'm like, what the fucking car crash? What about that, Louise?
How does that make any school bus over cliff? Is that all the kids fault? What do you, what? I mean, like I said, I see a lot of truth in there, but then.
A child being diagnosed with an incurable disease and dying. How is that their fault? I'm sure she'd have a answer. I'm sure she would have an answer.
They always have an answer. There's an answer. I'm going to bring the ghost of Louise. Hey, digit of grandma snow.
Grandma snow. Oh, we can say it in the show. Oh, okay. Just can't say it in the comment.
I'm just saying if the people are commenting. Don't comment. No, I'm going to connect with her. I'm going to connect with her.
Like I did with the German guy. What's his face? Frank, very. Dude, dude, dude, Frank.
Oh, yes. The father and the really, really. Why don't the cell people go off the rails? It's like all of a sudden you're like, you know, you get to chapter nine and then you're like, what the fuck?
She also quotes the course of miracles, which I'm reading now. And that's the one that. You're just doing a great deep dive, are you? Yeah, the one that like Wayne Dired.
I think I'll talk about it. Of course, of course. The owner, the guy who established Whole Foods. He talks about the course of miracles.
Who wrote that one? Oh, my sure. Oh, God, I forgot it's a woman. The whole concept is that she and this other professor got together and then she just started speaking from another world.
It's almost, I think the concept is that she is channeling Jesus Christ. This book and book is like a thousand pages long. Oh, okay, this sounds familiar to me. And it's like, and I like it because I start reading it and I immediately fall asleep.
Because it's like impenetrable. Like the stuff, but I'm like, you know, so I'm in for it. I'm like, I'm going to just chip away at this. Maybe something will click at the end.
And it's just, and it's, I like it because it's all really, it's like, it's biblical. But it's like, it's almost like in the modern day where like she channeled it. I'm like, hey, people based entire religions. Oh, Joseph Smith.
Anyone? Yeah. Entire religions on one person's interpretation or one person's like, hey, look, something came to me and told me this and here it is. You know, word for right this down.
Anyway, this woman can't remember. I can't remember. No, get in there. Yeah.
So anyway, of course of miracles. I'm doing that now. She mentions that. Louis hated it.
And I forgot where I was going with this. I don't know. I don't either. I, I, this is making me miss out.
I feel like I'm missing us. I haven't read a self-help book on why I surely dip back into that crazy little stew. I listened to Louisa on my way back from Brazil. Yeah.
Oh, well, so my gosh. How was South America? Dinosaur went down there. You guys played what?
Was it three shows or? Only three shows. Yeah. Seven days.
You know, it was a bit of a, bit of a dad dash. I would say. Yeah, a lot of traveling, huh? A lot of traveling.
We flew into Buenos Aires. Mm. Mm. Mm.
Spanish. Forgive us, please people. In Spanish speaking, Argentina. And didn't see much.
In the city itself, I'm going to say no disrespect, but a bit nondescript. It's a very large city full of brown buildings. Mm-hmm. And it kind of looks, it looks a bit like Italy, like industrial Italy.
Oh, interesting. It reminds me of bits of Spain too, obviously, but without old buildings. Wouldn't be obvious to me, but I, I, yeah. And without like, you know, 200, 400, 500 year old things.
Mm-hmm. It's, it's kind of newish. Have you seen never any more of Argentina, but no? I just, I see a hotel.
I see the taxi ride or the, I see the van ride to the venue, and I see the venue, and then I see the audiences who are awesome. Yeah. Awesome. South American audiences.
Hey, Lou, let's get this question a lot. Or could you ask the question? Of course, the best audiences that you have played for. The best question?
Yeah. Yeah. Ask me that question. Hey, Lou, who are the best audiences that you guys have played for, especially with dinosaur?
I have to say, they're really amazing in South America. They're really enthusiastic. Mm-hmm. It's intense.
Is it fun? It's really fun. Aww. Because it's very genuine.
Yeah. And it's not hysterical. You know what I mean? It's like, it actually seems really grounded.
Yeah. We're just having a good time. Yeah. And like, the Ramones are huge.
I mean, are just gods there. I just feel like those countries, and this is such a generalization, I'm sorry, but I feel like they're such an appreciation for rock. Right? I think they like everything.
Yeah. I do. I don't think that's like, but rock. Yeah.
Just like, I just see like, really cool, you know, like kids who just like vibing out to rock. And it's very cute. It's true. It's actually cute.
When you're in Southern California. Yes. Um, Texas, you know, where there's a larger contention of Mexican American kids. Amazing too.
Like my favorite audiences are in Texas. Yeah. Like Southern Texas. Wow.
And like down near San Diego. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, my god.
And LA. Right. So, you know, sweep down through South America. Buenos Aires.
We played our show there. That was the first one. Where was the second show? Oh, and this was the fucking extraordinary thing about that show.
What? Was that people, like en masse, en masse, like sang Jay's guitar parts. Together, like, don't know, no, no, no, no, no. No, no, no, no.
They're all singing that. And then not just vocalizing the guitar. Words? Exactly.
Right. That's what I meant to say. Right. They were vocalizing all together, like dozens and dozens of people vocalizing Jay's guitar parts.
Wow. It was like, I had never, never had that happen. And we also played really well. And when I'm sorry, I'm going to say we kind of killed it.
That's really cool. Because we're still fresh off the weezer to us. Yeah. So it's pretty like, well, good right now.
And we're really coming together. And we're kind of like, we're closer somehow even on stage, you know. Jay's making more enroids like to wear merpies. I am so like, it's we really are, I felt the real, I thought this really working together.
And then we played an outdoor festival in Santiago, Chile, which is a beautiful fucking city. It's very similar to the California, like, it's mountainous. It's desert, you know, on the edge of a desert, deserty, you know, near the ocean. But like, it's really beautiful.
I would. You would what? I take you there. I want to take you to Santiago someday.
Cool. Okay. Hey, I got two tickets to Santiago. To date.
I bet Izzy would like to see it too. She would. And that was an outdoor festival. We played it with a band called Magic Numbers that we'd kind of met.
What? Magic Numbers. Oh, not Magic Markers. Okay.
No. I was like, what? They were all the way down there? For sure.
Magic markers were. I mean, why? Pray mavera. Pray mavera.
It would be wild. But no, it was. Magic Numbers? Magic Numbers.
Who are they? Who are they? English band. They're kind of a cool English band.
They're kind of from around the time of the strokes and Kings of Leon. But they're two sets of brother and sister. And it's like this really more bulky. Oh, interesting.
Folkier, early, aughts, indie. But that kind of really good, you know, stroke C. Interesting. Okay.
It's more a little rounder. A rounder version of that. And like the music is round. Okay.
So they were really nice. And they were there. And we talked with them a little bit. And then we had to fly like three in the morning.
Oh. And then I didn't sleep for 48 hours. And had the show in Sao Paulo. Like I'm familiar with Brazil because I did a great like multi-date tour.
Like seven or eight shows in Brazil. Yeah. That were. The Sabado.
With Sabado that were booked by the same guys that did the festival that Dinosaur Jr. were playing. Okay. So I actually I have a real affection for Brazil.
And how every city is different. It's just really in the city. It's also kind of like Buenos Aires. Like it's a bit like samey.
Like a lot of like, you know, dusty brown buildings. It's a little ball though it's more jungle-y there. But there's monkeys in the power lines. Wow.
Yeah. There's monkeys hanging out. And Sao Paulo is like it's the 11th largest city in the world. Whoa.
New York being the 10th. What? It's wow. I don't know.
It is like I don't know like I get there whenever I get there. I'm like, man, it's dusty. It's a little. Dusty.
Stained crumbly. It's a little crumbly. So like when you drive in from the airport, you are right next to this huge like river that's like a LA you know, like an LA where it's just concrete banks on the side of the river. Uh-huh.
Very similar to that. But it's much bigger. And there's water flowing down it. Pretty heavily graffitied.
And then there'll be like little bridges over them, but they're all blocked off and just sort of disintegrating as if they're crumbling into the river. And there's a lot of that. But the highways are busy. It's not like it's not crazy.
If you've been, it's been time in LA and New York. It's not that far away from that vibe. You know what I mean? You're kind of you're not.
It's not like, whoa, you don't have the feeling that you're somewhere unknown to you. You know what I mean? There's a lot of familiar things. We didn't have much time.
We had to play. I tried to sleep. I spent a whole day trying to sleep. That's when I, Louise Hay-themed Instagram post popped up.
And I was like, I was watching Louise Hay-tap. And then I'm like, I love grandma. And I'm like, what else? And so I went, I think I'm going to go to grandma when I want to be soothed a little bit.
And which, so anyway, Sao Paulo also. Fucking great show. We were a little loose. We were a little sloppy because we were so tired.
But I'm not welcome home. Thanks, baby. W-R-A, free form radio. Thank you for listening.
Tomorrow morning, afternoon, evening, and a special shout out to our late night listeners. Thank you, Duncan. Anything to add? Just thinking about masturbating for migraines.
That makes perfect sense. Having had like only one or two migraines in my life, and they were so unique that it was like, oh, okay, these are migraines. I think the last thing I could have done was masturbate. I don't think I could have even moved my hand because the light and the sound sensitivity.
We have to do it right away. That's what she said. Yeah, get right on it. Okay, I'll remember that.
Wherever you are. If you suffer from debilitating. Wherever you are. Migraines, you just, you know.
Get that hand busier. Do what you need to do. Okay. Flick the bean.
Or your... Yeah. What if it's, what if you don't have a vulva? Oh, well, masturbate.
Yeah. Yeah. You. What do you say if you're...
You, oh, like what's a good euphemism for male masturbation? Choking the chicken. Okay. You know how to chicken, guys.
My favorite. Hit the chicken. All right. On that note, have a lovely day.
