I'm Baba Words. Yeah, so yeah, Steve is officially joining as co-host. We're back pretty much. It's gonna be Dan every time and then sometimes Brent sometimes Steve sometimes just Dan rambling into nothingness.

I do that sometimes just on my own in the corner Yeah, you never send me the file so I can put it up. Yeah, there's nothing wrong with just rambling to yourself Yeah, that reminds me of like when I was setting up all the fucking soundproofing Like I literally was like fucking beautiful minding this room and was like turning my ear like hello hello hello Like where's the perfect place to put these? Did the room kind of like fall into disarray since we have their according like tiles We're falling off the wall. Yes, you come in here.

It's like a post-apocalyptic scene It took forever because it's fucking South Carolina It's a fucking hot in here in summertime. I was using that like poster bullshit Yeah, yeah, yes, and these bitches were falling off constantly. I eventually had to nail the motherfuckers to the wall You say what I was gonna say yeah, I use finish nails Yeah, I was like fuck you. You're not falling again.

Yeah, put out a solo album. I wonder what happened dog shit Oh, no, dude. It's so bad. No, he tried to do like the whole flight thing where it's like kind of comedic or he was like I made a series literally the the name of the album is like no jokes or something like that and he's tried to do like I'm a Serious singer songwriter, which I'm not capable the songs were fine like musically, but they just sucked ass Like I guess you need Jermaine to do yeah, the only thing I've played the concords was like the HBO series Yeah, he's a series.

Yeah, same people and they sing on the show or well they toured for a while Yeah, they have multiple albums like it's they're very much see like it's so funny Like that's the type of music I like like he loves here. He loves fuck a little dickie. I've heard a little dickie Probably not he's a rapper, but it's basically he's that version of a rapper like he's hilarious, but he's like good hilarious Like weird al yank of it songs as much man when that fucking dice album came out in the 90s He must have lost your mind like with the fucking nursery ROM shit. That's never huge nice really?

Yeah, that's funny because you like fucking like parody kind of shit Yeah, yeah, I want to see the weird al movie. I haven't seen it. Yes. It's a good amazing bro Daniel Radcliffe like who thought like Harry Potter be so great right guns to kimbo Have you seen that no?

Oh my god, dude. You love guns again. You totally love it. Oh That's that's the one where he has his guns like permanent Yeah, I was like a preview.

I was like Or swiss army man swiss army man's not been and that's with that other guy from there will be blood the preacher You know don't about anyway What's cool about the weird al movie is it's a parody of music movies really so it's not even remotely true Which is perfect? I mean it's perfect for weird al so they like based it on weird al shit like but it's a pair of Things and you know and but in the movie he's got like a fucking relationship with Madonna Like that should never happen right he like goes off the rails with like drugs and alcohol and weird al has always been like fucking Straight-edge straight edge. Yeah, never never partaking. Yeah, it's fucking hilarious at one point He does like a fucking like a Jim Morrison like nice.

He's on stage with just leather pants He's like yeah, you want me to show it? Show it you want to bust it out and then he pulls out as a courty Yeah, it's brilliant. What's about it is I had to fucking pirate that shit. Thanks Greg How's the way if you ever need something because what is it on Apple TV or some weird shit that knows?

Yeah, I guess a lot of people and it's only on What's that streaming box? Oh sling no the other one starts with V right fuck I don't remember but it's not a box. No, it's like it's kind of like a firestick Visio or is it the sling was what it was sling TV? Yeah, you know I'm talking about yeah It's the only on that Roku Roku.

Yeah, thank you dude. Yeah, Roku was the only thing it's available And I'm like I'm not gonna buy I literally was thinking I'm gonna go get a Roku watch the movie and then return that shit Roku TV and the Roku channel I wonder if it's on that well my wife's all about like um what Yellowstone that new show Everyone's talking about it's only on Paramount Plus it is and so I had to get a month of Paramount Plus So she could watch the premiere of it kind of find out it's not a Paramount Plus It's on Paramount which is different than Paramount Plus which is two different subscriptions But so I paid for a month of something I didn't need for any reason that's on sign and it was a nightmare There are some good shows on Paramount Plus though dude. Yeah, you guys will definitely appreciate this evils on Paramount Plus That's an awesome show in it. No, there's a streaming service that I feel like was designed for dudes like us Are you guys familiar with Midnight Pulp?

No, there is a streaming service. It's available in Xbox might be on a PS5 I'm not or PS4. I'm not sure you can get on your phone and tablet whatever. It's only be movies and shit dude nice Fucking dope so it's free if you want commercials if you want to kill the commercials and then it adds like some extra fucking shows Right, usually just the crazier exploitation sexy shit But it's like five bucks a month so like I canceled like two other things and I'm like I'll cancel my add-ons to Hulu and just fucking do this shit Cuz I mean who needs fucking simax when I've got all this crazy ass B movies like that's why I want that shit anyway Mm-hmm.

I want to see fucking dope ass weird movies That's what I use my Amazon prime for is like find an old 70s movies like the old kung fu movies. Yeah, bro Where every jump is really good for that. Well, the only thing I hate about that is like if you're trying to like watch a trailer Like oh I'm gonna like this you play the trailer It's just like it's like a minute of a random part of a random part the movie and you're like I have no cause doesn't tell me anything about the movie This is like one small scene that has nothing to do with the rest of the movie none whatsoever Old 70s movies were just straight fire fuck dude. I leveled fire And I was thinking about this the other day.

It's like there was a movie growing up that I watched called a food of the gods Yes, I've seen like literally this lady finds this stuff that's coming out of the ground So she decides of course when you find strange liquids coming on the ground you automatically mix it with your chicken feed Yeah, feed it the chicken so next you know She's got like 20 foot tall chickens running around and of course rats and stuff get in it I'm gonna take my like giant waspens like other giant. Yeah, everything that touched the goo grew to you know An armistice was kind of like what's that shit? Oh food of the gods? You ever seen a stuff it was like the hard take on that yeah They for this white stuff bubbling on the ground and people are eating it makes him yoga Yeah, you may be wondering what the fuck happened And so for our you know at one time I would say close to a thousand fans, but I know there's only like ten of you that are dying hard It's like 800 bots.

Yeah, there's like 800 bots. They're just like scanning our shit so they can put us on a list I paid twelve dollars a month those eight hundred bots. No, just kidding. Oh, you did it one time I don't think I ever did I mean I thought about it.

I considered it if you don't love me I will pay you to love me well cuz if you get enough bots now that then all of a sudden people are like oh They're getting this many downloads a month and we'll pay them for advertising right and then you just drop the bots and like me I'm gonna drop your forever time you don't have real people for you You may be wondering what the fuck happened so yeah, it was a combination of a few things So I think we kind of touched on it in Leviathan. Maybe not that was one one it was It's a great show We kind of just got weirded out because I mean not completely but a lot of this show has been conspiracy and I mean everything just got like weird as fuck during the pandemic and we're just like man I kind of don't want to talk about weird shit anymore because like everything is weird every day became weird So it's kind of like we were super burned out on conspiracy stuff and we were kind of like yeah I've burned out of like like oh my god what next and it's like next what next yeah It's like some there's too much conspiracy shit to talk about there really is and everything got so real and weird and then Dan voted for Trump I voted for Biden yeah No here votes no I actually registered this year and then did not vote at all Would you rest your ass I'm just gonna I didn't register as anything. I just registered to vote I think you had a restaurant as something to know I think I think once you vote you're technically like I don't know how it works I was about to make some shit up to the time We would all believe you yeah like I do go one way or the other that's the way to get in the database and that's just what you are for life Yeah, it's a shame But you know that's probably the most underused right as Americans that we have oh it really is in the long run with so much again The conspiracy behind everything after a while you feel like what does it matter because they're gonna they've already decided I feel like they've already decided months before the election like okay It's time for a Democrat to be president It kind of seems like they've already decided like amongst themselves anyway Well even more than that it's like doesn't really matter who gets in there like honestly It's like it doesn't really it's all like okay, so what corporations do you represent? Yeah, my whole reason for not voting has always been like does it matter which ritual?

Unaffected white guy runs the country or black guy now or black guy Yeah, I'm like I mean that's fucking crazy bitch tear for president But there was also the fact that your life Brent's life got a little more man My life has been like off the rails a couple years. Yeah, you're running a fucking hostile over there dude Yeah, I have a few roommates. Yeah, I mean, it's not super crazy So it's you and the wife and the you and the wife and the kid yeah, so me my wife my daughter and now we have a roommate Who's going through a divorce and stuff so we're letting her stay here till she gets a divorce gets on her feet Well, I was giving you money and she's giving us money and she's responsible and respectable and you know, she cleans up after So she makes dinner sometimes awesome plus I'm guessing with the shenanigans with the kids Nice to have another dull around yes, because now also brainy's nieces live with us and that has been kind of a Her and brainy but heads a lot so that's been kind of a nightmare on and off and then at some point We had another kid living with us. Yeah, like random bitch They're staying there she ran away and got hit by a car I'm like a card and now she has like a mind of like a 12 year old Wow like permanent brain damage from running away And it's just been like and it fucks me up a little bit dude because you know what she got hammered on some whiskey that I left at his house That you bought for me.

Yeah, and unfortunately some really good with it. It was really good. Yeah, I mean I finished It was a new kind of sink a coffee with you. Oh man.

That's so good. You're a Japanese whiskey. No, I mean I've drank sake before I'm a huge fan of sake. I'm here.

I'm all sake time Japanese know what the fuck they're doing with whiskey I mean well real quick not not to like take us in different direction, but Steve does make me and it's amazing Oh, yeah, it's could you not make sake with this set up? You have that? Yes, they're both wine both rice wine or you have a sock you prefer well one of those big jar things no I mean sake, it's just the way that they ferment it. I've actually looked it up It's just rice instead of honey basically well it yeah, they do put some sweeteners in it But I mean it's it's the process and you know how I mean Japanese people are very Coordinated everything has a perfect everything has like And everything has to be perfect Which excludes me completely from that?

Walk away let it sit down bubble and fart for a month two months I totally forgot I'm making sauerkraut and I haven't checked on it in about a week. Oh, I mean It's a make sauerkraut is like a kimchi some fermented cabbage all this fermented cabbage is not the same I guess spices you would add to kimchi you put you stand it to make it for a minute or no naturally So all I do is salt and Cabbage pretty much just let the critters jump in as they wish yep You just throw a soggy piece of bread in there and just hope for the best not running bread It's just there's natural use on outside of all fruits and vegetables like that's original bread was made just I mean they didn't have yeast that they would like save it but there was just natural so that's how prisoners make like toilet wine Yeah, yeah, it's just naturally grows outside just way for shit to spoil and they make yeah As long as it's oxygen free like pretty much nothing and grow but yeast and botulism and as long as you have enough salt The botulism can't grow so it's pretty much like 2% salt at least and you're good. Oh shit That's the when the Norse the ancient Norse made me they had what they called the the magic stick that they stirred every batch with and Apparently it was just like a stick that was covered with bacteria that was productive Almost like I guess a mother for like vinegar exactly what other is right? Yeah, it's literally like a puck of there's like an original culture of it Yeah, and they just take it and take put a chunk on this and then okay well now it's gonna turn to that That's um, that's like kambucha kambucha kambucha Yeah, a big like it looks like a jellyfish and that's the yeast and literally you put it in there You let it swim around and ferment and do its thing and you can take that out No, I don't care for good kids.

It just looks like a jug of piss to me It's like alcohol without the buzz like have you tried there is actually alcohol? There is I know that's what I'm saying, but you don't get a bus it's so strong But it's supposed to be healthy and all that stuff for you, but I have tried it I think it is good for you because you know the whole gut health thing Well, I mean is that not basically like an medieval time to shit like they drink basically beer and stuff all the time because it was fermented So it was like only the healthy stuff was growing in it like so maybe I mean it wasn't nearly as like potent as Need or you know beer we drink day, but it's still like a four percent alcohol drink They were just like for breakfast here kids have a yeah some of your alcoholic beer It's amazing. We made it did either. Y'all ever like your parents ever give you alcohol like really young Absolutely.

I mean not really. I mean occasionally. I mean occasionally here try this beer Yeah, I don't like it over and be like hey zip this I Had a group on farm my grandfather farm, so you're an alcoholic His philosophy was you know if they can work like men they can drink like men so I can remember I'm not quite sure the age but Literally finish bailing hay like as 10 11 years old and they would go get pony bottles from my brother and I would be Oh, yeah down in pony bottles little kings little micha-loops remember those little fucking tiny bottles Mm-hmm. That's what they were called pony bottles.

You ever have little kings no like malt liquor I think it was like a tiny little fucking beer. It was like maybe eight When it comes to malt liquor That's all you need literally is malt liquor that that I tried some once and it made me want to fight people a lot And we're pretty hands can't fight so when your hands are taped to bottles right shit I'm not proud of it but literally stole Cases beer out of a grocery store in my hometown Yeah, a few times yeah, and it was hilarious because like first time I did it me and my buddy like drove down to a pond and Just fucking walked out on a pier correct the shit open like I think it was by like a golf course Like we just went someplace where we knew nobody would be at night Yeah, and we're drinking warm fucking like Milwaukee's best and then and then we both got spooked about halfway through the case And then just like little kids were just like well Don't in the lake hide it exactly we don't get caught with these so we're firing fucking full beers into the fucking Lakers They're all floating you're like oh my god chances. Oh Speaking of a ceiling beer so when I was I guess you could say when I was supposed to be in college So you're a party boy from jackass. Yeah, I've driven his pants off and dance around absolutely so we on Halloween I was dressed as part of what I had the ripple pants the D does it all the way down the side tank top on We go into a gas station and I have the boom box on my shoulder There's a you know older black lady behind the counter and she's like what is white boy?

And I hit I've sat down hit playing I rip my pants off and I start dancing and she's just laughing have the time I mean while my buddies are running to the back of store grabbing cases each and running out the side door Yeah, there's a nice distraction. We still have brilliant four cases of beer. Yeah, but I mean I wasn't a great kid I was kind of an asshole. Were you like heavy like you are now?

Probably not as heavy. I mean I've always been a thick boy. No, he was he was then her back in the day Yeah, I got like one photo of me. I don't have yeah when we started as you know Adult men young young adult men in our 20s at the security company Brent was You know pretty pretty trim pretty spell low twos Yeah, we went camping Nearby my house like my family bought some property.

Oh, I thought you're talking about me and you I was like I've never been like no back in Indiana. You don't know like across the tracks My family got some property in the woods and so I told my buddies like hey man, let's fucking camp it up Let's do this shit like men. They're like fuck yeah, let's do it And then it was like the 11th hour and somebody was like so are we just gonna fucking sit there and look at each other or Do we have anything you got some weed you got some beer you got anything and I'm like The fire I got the tents what's up trees and so we we drove to the grocery store I literally walk straight in grab the case of beer Just walk straight out got my car and left if you look like you're important. You're doing something on purpose people are just like Oh, you must be I didn't give a shit.

I was like hey, what's going on beer walked out nobody said shit to me No, because it throws them off. They're like wait what and they're gone. Did they just I think they just know? I was I was such like a well-known good kid.

Yeah, they like if anybody would have said like Still beer and just stole the case of beer. They'd be like seriously You have to admit though. That's definitely like Oh, yeah, because nowadays with all the cameras they would be 90s Yeah, sorry kratos Yeah, you know, we aren't jumping to video just yet, but Steve not only sounds but also looks like the God of War Yeah, I mean he actually is a biking. Yeah, he literally is a biking.

I've actually said that Brian Said that the other day he was like you have brought that up in the past that you were just like Straight, I'm pretty sure Steve is literally a Viking according to my DNA. I am so are you really? I haven't done one but like according to my DNA. I haven't done a test.

Well, my dad. I mean I looked at my own blood though under my My brother looked my shit up and big surprise mostly Jewish Wow, I thought down with Jewish like when I first I mean Yeah, I mean just look Jewish noses an accident. I mean I'm also like this Surprisingly, I'm like also an eighth Native American like everybody's like oh, you know, I'm jerky or whatever bullshit You're an eighth. Yeah, I'm an eighth Miami Indian.

You can get some money for that. I think yeah, you could that resume You could kind of a longer story, but my grandmother's maiden name was Owen Her family was the first white family to intermarry with the Miami Indians in Indiana And the chief of the tribe currently his last name is Owen. Oh, wow Yeah, crazy right and so my brother a while back was just trying to get legitimized because like like supposedly like the paperwork is not Legit like we don't really have anything that proves. Yeah that we are related to them Well, she was such a bitch to him Because because she like the chief of the tribe is only like a 16th and because our bloodline is more pure than her He's dethron me.

She was like not cool at all well like from my grandmother who's still alive is a half Wow, which makes my mom a quarter which makes me an eighth So like from your brother's perspective. He's all business dude. Yeah, I used work for a company that was like Ran by or like most of the owners were any what yeah And so like you can get like way more government contracts and stuff if you're like oh, yeah, you can yeah So like it's get hooked up dude. Yeah, so Native America probably the same way if you could prove if you get free schooling Like he said if I lived in an area where they had a reservation which I think It's kind of fucked up or if your business just headquarters was there right that too So I mean the history aside this part's kind of fucked up It's it's an Indiana tribe and the tribe is currently in Oklahoma.

Yeah, why and that's dude It's called history oddly enough. I mean I'm behind 57 of nationalities I have to and share the Indian both no shit in my ancestry and speaking of Terrell tears my aunt did Some research and apparently like you can do the DNA testing and it's really hard to trace your Indian lineage Yeah, it is because I mean it's not like well. They don't want anyone else like no Where have you been this whole time? You haven't been part of our culture now?

I was trying to get all the benefits from it exactly so The there was a religious group. I believe it's the many nights or something that recorded all of the Indians Having to change our names and going to the American They called themselves Indians, right it is very PC, but I know that's why I was so funny But they're gonna cancel us But one of our relatives a million years ago actually was part of the Trail of Tears and actually help walk people out Like you damn so that was that was an interesting find yeah, I mean as far as nationalities go I think I've narrowed it down to like my dad's side is European like French Welsh they were pretty much the prostitutes That's kind of how you look I mean making babies kind of look like French Welsh It's maybe some fucking Norse in there don't know what I am and I'm never done to us But I'm pretty sure like German I'm very Germanish you look pretty German yeah English Smith I mean I didn't go far from Smith Smith's pretty English. My mom's family is dismuke dismuke. Yeah Polish what is that Germanish?

I don't know Germanish Germanish beer I have a family in England and their name is Mike. Oh, I always joke with people like they're like what's your name? I'm like Smith 3s SMI FFF Smith. Yeah, my last name is derived from a French word Chase which was where apparently French hunters called like the killing field that was you run all the To the chase and that's the end of it.

That's speaking of the Norse a friend Steve has Renounced his Christian upbringing So I don't know when it like don't owe me it was probably just one of those moments where I was like let me try something different Because I was raised Roman Catholic. I was an altar boy. I was in a Roman Catholic private school. I mean it was you're an altar boy Yeah, you're in private school.

Yeah, I Can imagine either of those things going well very hard So yeah, I just I found out about my my heritage and started researching Googling And it just felt right to me. It felt like it was the researching what the different religion Yeah, did you like try more than just that where you like I'm gonna check out Buddhism. I'll check out this or um Really just gone to it. Yeah, I mean honestly in in school we had a theology So we studied actually all the different religions obviously not North pagan Probably because I feel like the Christians don't want you to know too much about that now is I was talking about this culture We still exactly is North pagan like what it's called or is that just like what the normies know it by a straight?

Australia Strata yeah, and there's a lot of controversy about that particular part of it like for me I'm just a budding I'm blossoming into my my Norse paganism and I'm still learning. I'm still learning a lot Would you be uncomfortable talking about? Some crazy shit that went down like Steve likes to party and we liked party with him and one time it was just me and Steve Out of his self dubbed outdoor entertainment deck the OEP that's right And we're super fucked up one night and he tells me about some astral traveling he did as a child Yes, which totally makes sense to me because before I had even heard this story It's guy that we were talking about earlier Brian and I had had this conversation where I'm like dude I feel like Steve is a fucking Viking out of time. Would you would be uncomfortable for you to elaborate that story?

I mean, I'm just to give you some background as far as like and you guys know my background is with reference to How I think and my mannerisms and stuff. I believe that people should be open and free And able to experience everything they possibly can it's yeah It's very good. I'm not a closed off. Yeah, yeah, and you have one life And you have to live it you have to live that life to the fullest I mean it means being happy with who you're with or whatever you're doing in life I feel like you have to make a point to make yourself happy in your existence So in reference to your story I did a lot of again reading.

We didn't have the internet stuff back then. So we actually had to read books Amazing. What are these papers? I just love going to library and getting like the weirdest books I could find and checking them out bro That was the stuff.

I know this is a sidebar But my sister and I still talk about this shit in an elementary school There was like a you know like you know the kind of shit that we would pick up It was like a book of mysteries or some call. Yeah, it was a cult shit Dude she and I still talk about it because we both read the same book There was like shit in there about like how to become a vampire or how to become a werewolf Yes, but we're well shit was crazy. It was like you have to get the fat of a baby You have to like all this like obscure like a cult type shit You had to like cook it in a cauldron rub that shit all over your body and like bathe in the moonlight And we're like sitting on a stone bathe in the white dude. I'm 10 In the library does my fat count?

I'm about to do this I probably read the same book because there was one where if you uh drank water from the paul print of a wolf Yeah, that would turn you into a werewolf. Obviously being bitten Another rendition of the whole fat thing was you put it on a wolf skin belt and wore it while you sat on a stone Because I like I said I probably read the same book because I was totally werewolves are like my thing That's kind of like my yeah, my spirit. Yeah, I don't yeah I was kind of okay, but I wouldn't mind revisiting it. Yeah, I mean there's a bunch of topics where I'm like man I wish we could do that again.

I'll be totally can't absolutely all new show It's just never now said a little Dan and Brett live forever exactly because we're all trying to live forever We are so I got I got to ask man like so if you're a Semi regular, you know religious dude. I mean you're like going to church You're going to communion. You're doing you know what seems normal to Christians, but there's a lot of ritual involved Absolutely, even if you don't do that kind of shit, you know, you're praying you're doing, you know You're reading the bible. You're trying to do what you think is right and you know, you're judging your neighbors And telling them that they're wrong.

You're wrong. You need to do my shit Which I don't do that shit like room a Catholic is you have to be very fit for one because there is literally because you got to run from the beast Well, no never had to have that happen. Thank you Odin Um, but there there is so much like standing sitting kneeling stand up I mean it was like religious aerobics It really was up and down and then at one point you turn and shake everybody's hand that's within arm reach Unless you were like me as a little kid and I would like run down the aisles and high five everybody Yeah, get as much of this as I can like you're in a Pentecostal church just run up and down the aisle fucking high five I'm like you're like just like you're ending a fucking T ball game good game good game good game But the funny thing about it is is after researching some of the north pagan beliefs and stuff You you really start to realize how much Christianity and paganism north pagan mirrors itself with the stories with the I mean which makes total sense because especially when Catholicism I mean the easiest thing to point to is like christmas Because it's it's a it's a Roman holiday. It's Saturn.

Oh, right worshiping Saturn Which was like a time of festivity. It was time of feasting and gift giving and the Romans did not want to give that shit up They're like I mean that's cool the the Roman church wants to follow Christ is great. I mean, but can we still party? Right.

That's really what we're into and am I not gonna get presents anymore? Can we keep doing the present thing because that's pretty dope. There's a lot of that shit Especially Catholicism with Constantine where they I mean the saints are easy to point to because I mean those are basically Roman gods And I'm sure a lot of that shit crosses over. Absolutely.

Um, I mean there's there's so many Viking gods or Norse gods. Um, there's literally a god of skiing So and then these heaps come along and they're like oh, there's just one god for everything forget all that other shit That's not as much fun. We're reading that god of beck and rich right So it's just um and just like you said it very much so like I feel like they just took the short route and said We don't need all of these guys. We're just gonna focus on one guy.

We're gonna call him Jesus Um, he's gonna go through the same trials tribulations that Odin did which is you know, the head guy that is right Uh, Odin was oddly enough upside down in a tree with a spear stuck through his side for a True life, right? That's where he gave up his one eye for knowledge. No He actually gave up his eye at the well of a mere seeking the tree seeking knowledge. Yeah, yeah, he actually owns uncle Um, but there's a lot of people that uh Criticized Christianity because even older there's the uh epic of yoga mesh is very similar to Christ like the ancient samarian ship Right.

So I read somewhere where you can go through every major religion like Egyptian religion And there will be a reference to somebody born on the 25th of December That was a prophet of some sort that was you know, supposedly the coming of the the you know, savior of the world and etc, etc Yeah, which I think is still important like a lot of people like wanted to discount myths as completely, you know fiction And i'm like, well myths exist as storytelling for a reason because they wanted to pass on Something important to that culture back before writing books was a thing like that's what happened It's like we made a story so that we could tell these children right because it makes it easier remember a story is gonna make Everybody remember the shit so you know like the the core you know Messages of a lot of these stories have a lot to do with uh, you know morality and you know think you know should that you should do Ways to live your life and it's i mean it's parables. It's just good fucking You know foundations for people when they're trying to teach the kids how to live Yeah for a culture like hey if we want to work together, you gotta stop killing your neighbor. Yeah, don't be a dick So your neighbor to bang his wife literally the habamal is the Norse I guess equivalent to that not necessarily bible. There is no real like Norse bible and that's the other thing There's like carvolution trees, right?

There's a freedom to it because you you can you can honor and respect and Give sacrifice if you will and i'm not meaning like chopping people's heads off or goats And drinking blood or anything like that. We even have to modernize it. Yes, I fight your time sacrifice Exactly. Um and i've done rituals myself where i've gathered herbs and flowers and need and sacrifice those on and alter For you know candles and the whole nine things and invoke those gods to Achieve basically the same thing as praying, you know, it's it's all the belief system It's what you believe and how much you can put faith in something well and it's it's uh, you know It's recognizing that you're glad to be alive.

It's recognizing that you're appreciative of the world that's around us You know, there's recognizing there's a higher power not necessarily a god, but like just yeah Like in general, there's more than just you. Yeah, obviously we didn't make this shit It's cool that i'm here and trying not to be a dick like I feel like that's the basis for most religious Um and that's most most comfortable for you, man I mean, that's that's no that's what the how them all does it breaks it down and it's supposedly the words devoted Teaching people how to be good people and it breaks it down as to your own personal behavior Then it breaks it down into things you should trust um how you should act with people Um and that that part of it is really messed up because there's a whole list of things that says These things you should not trust and it's like a rusty sword Um, I mean, it's a good part in a rainy day And to highlight the whole thing it was like a woman with a soft voice and I was just like these guys were on to stuff So, I mean it's um, so I've heard my life her voice is not right So, okay, and i'm not trying to be a dick when I asked this question So are you going to have to die in battle? Um, so that is that's the bahala thing that's the bahala issue. Um, is that the equivalent of like a heaven bahala?

There's so many different breakdowns again It's there's some truth to the whole marvel myth of like how they portrayed it. There are nine realms I definitely want to talk about marveling in a minute once once we get to this. Yeah, okay. Um, so there are nine realms Um, we live on mid guard Nine land of the giants yoden as a man Um as guard is the home of the gods Um, so within as guard there are multiple buildings there's basically multiple halls is what they call it Um, Odin would send the valkyries down to pick off the best warriors who died in battle Most people don't know this but Freya had first pick Who's Freya?

Freya is Odin's wife. Okay. She was one of the old gods of vaneer So there was a azir, a vaneer, it looked like vaneer or something Yeah, there was a huge battle and as a zero one and part of the deal was her and one other Um, vaneer came over to be an azir and part of their god column if you will Um, but back to the brood that I guess So the valkyries are like angels? They're exactly they would be a warrior angel Yeah, warrior angels, but they would they would like so if there was like a serious battle, let's say like Uh, who is the elephant guy?

Genghis Khan? No, so okay. We'll say Genghis Khan So let's let's say Genghis fucking falls in battle Uh, one of the valkyries would be like that dudes badass. We're gonna swoop down and take his soul to val Absolutely, so the if he fell in battle exactly not if he was being a pigeon hiding in it That's nothing I didn't know about when I was researching this like just because your dime battle doesn't mean you go to val Absolutely.

Oh, I know because if you have ever fought in battle and either ran away or surrendered if you were a coward That basically just like knowing boy did like your ticket your golden ticket is out the window You did great this time, but listen we have this book and we see here that you There's your there's your cross-reference to your access to heaven. Were you good? Were you bad? Right, right?

Did you die in battle or were you a coward? You know, so there's so many crossovers Um, but basically Odin only wants the best warriors that he can pick from to fight for him in vahala Right and why though because of ragnarok? No, no, didn't you didn't you tell me the other day about like there's like fucking like daily fights? Oh, yeah.

Yeah, so that's literally vahala. I mean, it's just a bad vahala. They're basically Training for ragnarok. You would wake up in the morning and you would well in vahala you'd go out on a huge battlefield and just fight all day Yeah, you would just who are they fighting each other?

Everybody's like training this like all three of us are out there and we would just run through and kill as many as our friends as we can Yeah, we were in rumbles dude and then afterwards you go to the great hall and you're like, hey, man Good headshot with the bow right at the end of the day. You just basically resurrected you go back to the hall You drink me you party you raise hell and then go to bed next morning. Hey, let's meet out on the battlefield It's not like you don't get tired because you're in vahala, so you're at your like peak form You just fucking battling it out rocking it every day kicking ass and your own fucking metal music video every day So the the alternative location and there are places that are bad and again, I'm still a budding Norse pegs. I don't have the exact names of the realms, but the other location is hell or hellheim HEL no HEL Hot sticks and that is that like uh like a you know, that's almost my friend brimstone, you know Isn't it like a purgatory?

Exactly Without god because you're not there with Odin, but you're also not like yeah It's where they're like a land of the dead your family's there like your your mom is there probably and you're right You know any of your friends that weren't chosen to go to vahala, so it's not like a bad fire on brimstone It's not a place of torture. It's a place of you know, this is just You're not alive anymore. Yeah, I mean we're still gonna be one of that. We're not gonna go battle out.

Right Oddly enough hell is run by one of Loki's children named hell I mean, it's not a sister like in the movie nope um She uh She has half of her body's a beautiful woman the other half is uh like decomposed and just very I mean, that's how she that's how she was born. Oh, really? Yeah, Loki had many kids that were not talked about Let me get this right. Loki was not technically Kind of correct.

Was he adopted or was he he I believe was kin of Is that part I don't want to misinform Is that part from like the MCU kind of right where he's from the yodenheim just just yes where he is He's a part of the giants. Yes. Okay. Um, I didn't know if he was actually like like Odin was like, hey, what's up giant?

Let me get some of that or if it was just like hey, we found this giant baby There are some cross, you know, there are some like hey, let me get some of that giant What's new? Nippleheim that is one that I am right next to every time right That's the snipple time Coptown i'm still i'm still uh again picking up some of the different himes. I'm not I'm not like I mean, that's the whole point of learning something like this It's like you can get into it and it's like it goes deep I mean all religions do like there's stuff that like I mean even if you're like super in a christianity There's stuff that you would know that other people are like wait what and it's like oh, yeah This says this in the bible or whatever, you know, so did you skate past my question just because it's too awkward Which one that about about the asked for travel? No, no, no, I feel like we just kind of took off on one brain.

Okay. Well, we can definitely There's been many instances of my astral projection that uh have been enlightening very just for a little backstory Steve has died twice. Oh, yeah legitimately like on an operating table or before you got there Yeah, pretty much both the first the first time I crashed out was uh, I was in the ambulance and uh I was being the lady in the back was talking to me and Apparently I faded out and next thing I know I've got like a 300 pound woman on my chest yelling at my face And I'm like what I'm all right. I'm like, I'm like, I'm like paperless Normally you would have to and then um when they and for backstory I had a tremendous heart attack So they got me to represent Frances, you know props to them.

Yeah And it's good ask me guys. Yeah, thanks for saving my life But um, I was on the table and they were preparing to put the stints in and apparently I Gripped it off in yeah, and it was so crazy because I'm kind of out of it and this doctor's just like barking all these questions I mean he's like have you done cocaine? I'm like what why you got some win Yeah, don't bugard me man, but now it was just very weird and I wouldn't have known any of it if the nurse I woke up at ICU um obviously hooked up to about 80 machines. Yeah, you feel like a piece of meat at that point It's just like And the nurse it was it was a guy nurse and he walks in he's like, so did you see anything and I was like, what do you mean?

Did I see anything and he's just like yeah, dude you got you crashed twice like you died man That's fucked up that they ask you that exactly like I mean I would have thought there would be some kind of you think it'd be like a little more official like he was new to the job. Yeah, didn't expect Dan to come slide in and be like you see anything bro And hindsight being what it is. I should have just been like yes I saw this little red man and red pajamas and I pitched for dancing around screaming come to me come to me Uh, yeah, actually uh fucking mega man runs the world. Did you know that I saw a huge head of lettuce In a glistening night, but anyway, uh that was to get to the shit that you told me about when you were younger When you had either read about or heard about astral traveling and you you tried it yourself I used to be a lot about it as well, and I tried I can never really do it.

I don't think maybe I did I don't know but then I've been reading some stuff where I like lucid dreaming a little bit. Yes. Yeah I mean for me it was again. I'm willing to try anything once So I went through this whole process of learning and teaching myself and meditating and clearing my mind Actually like doing the work and not just like reading an article like I wonder if this works and then try and like nah I'm not doing that everything.

Yeah, exactly. Which is what I do. Yeah, so I mean anything worth trying or actually achieving You have to put some effort into my belief. Um, so the first time it happened.

I set up parameters I literally wrote down like this is what I'm going to do. Yeah, this is what I want to try to accomplish right And again, it was strictly hypothetical at that point. It was it wasn't any truth or basis to it And I laid down a bed and did my little Meditations and uh later on after I had completed my mission if you will woke up And I'm getting phone calls from people that I'd listed on my list and I was like, I'm gonna go like check this out I'm gonna do this and I was like wait a minute That just validated everything that I just damn tried to do so it was pretty cool Um, it's not anything to play with at all Like you can get really fucked up We did a whole episode on astral projection and that's what I've read into as well because I you know thought about mess around with it And um, like apparently there's entities out there That can like basically while you're gone, they're like they can kind of flip slip in what I found basically you like get parasites attached to you Yeah, your body gets carjagged basically. So yeah, that's that is part of the importance of having somebody with you around you Preferably somebody that can do what's like a white light or uh, just basically protection type around you And uh, I mean, maybe I'm just remembering it wrong because I was super fucked up But you were kind of alluding to that you are talking about the wolf But yeah, he wants to hear about the wolf.

I know he does. I totally did I mean I'll talk about it. Um again. I don't want to have anybody with white coats showing up at the house Nah I'm too old to be crazy.

I'm just That old crazy Steve guy. Um, yeah, so as I went on with my um, my studies if you will and practicing my My craft I started thinking about that because you do become basically an empty husk And I learned that when you're out of body your spirit can be basically whatever you want it to be Yeah, your consciousness isn't yeah, yeah, your consciousness normally is just a meat suit pilot Exactly and you're not bound to at that point when you're out of yourself. You're not bound by anything Yeah, you got a bad leg. It's like oh, I don't have a bad leg.

I can walk Yeah, um, so I started playing around and it was really kind of fucked up But and I probably shouldn't have done it but um one of my favorite things was to go out as This huge like black wolf And like a diet wolf just breathing the air and it's so weird like you can almost physically feel it on your own physical body So freaking skinwalker bro Um, so When you do that you have to have a process It's like you go through this transformation and then when you come back It's kind of the reverse transformation to bring yourself back in One time I just decided you know what we're just gonna skip the reverse transformation and just jump on in and see what happens Shit went crazy like yeah, like physically I felt almost the attributes of that animal really Yeah, like you felt like you felt like out of place in your body like I could smell better I felt like I could smell better see better. I want scratches. Yeah Please constantly biting my knees. You didn't want to go for a walk When someone said park I was like what?

You gonna need to throw up But yeah, so yeah when you told me that shit, I'm like, man Maybe Steve is like a fucking biking for real You gotta just like for your mind. Like you guys some fucking other world spirits like they were like hey This kid that doesn't know what he's doing is totally open right now. Let me just slide in there Yeah, I'm a big believer in you know, I don't try to put any boundaries on myself or anybody else I mean anybody they open their mind up enough to it Burian Shit's cool though. Uh is is there anything like that we would I mean that we would recognize as like a regular I mean I guess would be mostly Christian based because you know, it's you know Anything that would be like like our traditions that seem like they have correlations to the Norse shit.

Oh totally totally so Um One of the things that it's actually again one of Loki's children gifted to Odin was an eight-legged horse really yes So to correlate that with a Christian Christmas time since it is that time of year Eight tiny reindeer a tiny reindeer So that goes on Christmas Eve basically Santa gets into slave drives his eight tiny reindeer right into the present So Norse pegging is a little different we um celebrate you'll you'll yeah, yeah So there's 12 days of you'll does that song familiar man even even in my stupid, you know Sheltered family like they they would often say like the you will log yeah, right So that you log is celebrated with um and I'm doing one this year You would post the log up before you burn it And you literally would have No paper or something and you write your aspirations for the next year on that paper Oh, that's like you let her just say it you post it on that log what and then when you time to burn it boom all of your wishes go up That's crazy and that's supposed to be your your luck and your your new year's your new year exactly exactly Dude, I got a weird one for you. I just found this out the other day. So uh reindeer a curably right? Yes No reindeer reindeer.

I don't I don't think those No, they're all caribou and reindeer the same. Yep, really such a sum caribou in captivity All have antlers male ant female. Really? Yes, and the only ones that lose it every year because it's natural are the males Males lose their antlers right?

They shed their like yeah, they shed They don't they just don't they don't and the time of year that that happens is in winter Which means all of santa's reindeer or chicks Isn't that fucking crazy So, you know when we watched that Rudolph cartoon as a kid you're like that sounds like a girl. It totally was So they were already gearing up to be pc in today's one. Yeah, right. It's okay if your name is and i'm just getting this from uh Have a vagina the fucking Ubisoft game But according to that like Vikings were actually already pretty fluid like like sexuality was not a big deal No, not at all Like it was not a big deal to be in a relationship with a dude or a chick or whatever It was just because like the way that they lived, you know, it was a warrior society and they're like get it in where you can get it in And that goes back to the you know, you have one life limit, you know, and it's kind of that if it feels good do it if it you know Yeah, so if you had a relationship with a chick it wasn't necessarily permanent and like if there was a dude that was like let's fucking You know, hang out.

Let's rub each other down with some baby fat become werewolves Yeah, let's bathe in the moonlight. How cool would that be just straight werewolf Vikings? Uh, oh my god. I didn't know this was gonna happen.

I thought we were just having a good time Actually the um olfindar is um, I hope I pronounced that correctly Um was a wolf clam of berserkers. So most berserkers would associate with theirs the olfindar were a Basically special elite like yerking like they were they were the ones that guarded the yarls But they would do the whole so they were like shrooms and go crazy and like yeah So they were like the they were like the fucking navy seals of the Vikings Yes Was considering like already kind of a badass people like this like the upper class of badass right then you add like I said There was definitely some alterations done when whenever you sat around and did a whole bunch of shrooms before you go in the battle Sure. Well bringing up caribou like you know animita mascara. Yeah, the mushroom Yeah, the christmas mushroom really yeah, you know about that.

Uh-oh So, you know, the maybe buy another name, you know, like the super Mario mushroom like yeah Well, that's what they say like christmas breads underneath trees because they grow underneath cedar trees And that's what sanclazas bringing gifts. Yeah The caribou would eat them because they fucking love it So they just love tripping and it would make them jump And that's where you get the flying reindeers and once the reindeer processes through their stomach because they're like cows and they You have multiple stomachs whatever right? That's not my but The shaman and stuff up in that area would collect the reindeer piss and drink it to trip I think maybe remembering that wrong. It's not right like if you eat My room and if you Coffee And maybe you're right and i'm just remembering a different part of it because like apparently they love it so much The reindeer love as much from so much there If you eat the mushrooms and you go piss somewhere they will fucking knock you over to get your pee to get to your pee Like they want to ingest it.

They're just like, holy shit But when I remember this room pea once it's processed through a stomach it loses all the stuff that makes you like physically ill when you eat them So it's more of like just just the trip and not the I mean I remember that incorrectly did i'm guessing they had some sort of shaman or Priest so yes, they did have a seer someone who could um, basically he was like a fortune teller or religious leader Not necessarily because they didn't have profits. There was no Wasn't ragnarot a prophecy it was a prophecy, but that wasn't foretold by you know, that's just the way It's so weird and it's so simplistic yet so complicated Yeah, there's pre-nog- it's like you have four knowledge of events that are going to be called very much Bait based this is your fate right changing your fate kind of Greek shit. Yeah, exactly. So ragnarok was it was going to happen First you have to go through the there's a there's a word for it I can't recall what it is, but it's like a tremendous winner and that's the onset ragnarok That's right.

Yeah, so I think that's in the new got to work in probably I haven't got the marketing. I haven't played it but Terry's been playing it looks amazing. It's fucking dope I've started playing it. So far.

I'm fighting Thor. I'm getting my ass. Dude. I love it that uh, I mean spoiler alert They made Thor fucking fat right which is dope and if you think about it like he's not gonna be a See me chrisms worth exactly he's not chrisms worth at all.

He's probably it's just like the conan thing It's like you have this image of Arnold Schwarzenegger as conan when in the books. He's portrayed as like this like just a big guy Yeah Yeah, he's not gonna have a six pack he's not dehydrated He's not gunning with like 28 inch biceps running around less fast and not striking people with these python So yeah, I would say I was probably you know if you look at me. I'm a me drinking, you know, just hanging out kind of guy I'm a beast and I love it. So these series they would throw runes, right?

Yes, they would there was room casting like chicken bones I mean, I guess that's another thing I was gonna do is like in multiple cultures kind of the same thing You have like tea tea leaf readings exactly are like bone casting or like a like a random or even like tear Like a yeah, exactly tarot guards like a random thing divination divination. Yes, that's the best way to do it So in terms of that, I can't speak that historically there's never been anything proven like they have found a pouch of Exactly like there was like somebody that sat around was like, all right, we're gonna roll the bones Obviously, there's got to be some kind of reference to them in historical writings Well, there's some things that we would probably consider runes that I mean are those just like they're symbols It's an alphabet it's symbols There are some shit on your knuckles right now because you're also a tattooist. Yes. I'm saying that right tattooist tattooist is that a word?

I don't think that's a word. That's a good one though. Attitude. Attitude would be a follower of tattoo That's the plain Dude Forget that was Ricardo Montabon right Of Con Word dude, I love that shit.

I don't care. I'll put it up against any of the other stars. Same here man I was just something about Kirk stuck in a rock screaming calm dude. It was so great.

It was such a great villain Yeah, but anyway the runes back to the runes Um, so Odin was the one who discovered the runes while he was hanging upside down in the tree with a spear stuck in his side Um, and he looked down and Odin's Odin's main purpose was to gather wisdom. That's all he wanted He wasn't like he wasn't like I'm gonna go create a bunch of stuff Yeah, or I want to be the top dog like he's like, I just want to know I just want to know stuff Yeah, that's all he really wanted to do and um, I think he did he did that to gain Seder magic seder knowledge knowledge of women, um, which was the most Obscured to men because you weren't supposed to know say to me about a bro. Very susan So he wanted to know and I mean I guess that that knowledge carries on out like all of us want to know what is your secret? Right.

What are your secrets? I don't know what I'm gonna be a horse to do what happens I'm just gonna turn into things and fuck women. Exactly. See what they like the most that wasn't ego in my bed last night Now i'm a heartbeat As Odin was um hanging upside down he looked down and that's when the uh runes appeared to him and Well, like on the ground on the ground.

I'm guessing somebody somebody somebody threw him at him like nice It's all up to the interpretation like actually embedded in the bark of the tree of life or whatever it is I believe they were on the ground Then he came out of the tree and that that knowledge he had um in the havamal There is reference to 18. I believe it's 18 magics that Odin has now they talk about it But they don't ever tell you what that magic is. Yeah, okay It's like this will protect you from swords. This will protect you from this.

Oh, so it's all like I feel I feel like it's somehow intertwined like those magics dude That still was my mind how similar that is to the crucifixion. Yeah, exactly and you know like weapon wise What's most associated with Odin is the spear spear and I mean supposedly rice was pierced through his eyes And like yeah, that's that's on a tree Crucifixion tree like yeah, that's that's called what this beer destiny. Yeah supposedly those Jesus stab Christ. I mean Hanging from a tree hanging from a tree.

I mean it's so similar to the crucifixion. That's crazy Yeah, that's why I believe and again. I my brain works You know somewhat different. I like to look at different things and sure I want to examine it I want to know why this is the way it is.

I want to know why you believe this and and So I'll over study things. I'll just pound as well. Sure. And I mean the whole reason you got into it was like it felt right Exactly like I mean, you know, you can't really judge anybody for just going with what speaks to them And if that shit is speaking to you then fucking do it exactly so and there's It's so hard to prove or disprove so many things because there weren't a lot of record That's why they don't have a Bible.

There wasn't a lot of recorded No, I don't know if you've heard, but I mean it's kind of hard to prove a lot of stuff in the Bible I mean, it's true. You know, it's all faith. Everything's faith. I mean any religion right that's a whole idea Do you have faith that this is correct or do you know, and that's all in feeling like how do you feel about it?

Sure, true. And I mean, I still feel like most religion comes down to like Appreciating that you're alive being just in the normal human condition of like what the fuck is going on I don't know what happened. I feel like something bigger than me. Did this how can I be a better person?

You can't yeah just appreciating that everything is here. I'm glad that I'm here Thanks, whoever the fuck did that and try not to be a dick So so being a tattoo artist and into a Viking religion would you or is there any like Viking tattoos? You're like I'm not doing that that's offensive. Oh, that's a good question.

Um Like some sacred shit like yeah, like if I put this fucking axe with the handle facing this way Then that's gonna call fucking finry or he's gonna eat your face right? So that's the odd thing with runes as well as certain symbols so runes when you cast or draw runes Um, they have a positive and a negative Um when you draw a rune and you lay it out and it's reversed. It's the reverse Like tarot cards So the position of runes anybody that gets room tattoos. I will tell you this research your runes Make sure you're not just putting some dumb shit on your fingers I love baloney.

Yeah, exactly. It's like Odin is a prick. That's what my that's what my dad says Yeah, you've got you got some pretty significant ones on your knuckles. Where those this is um tier this Looks like kind of like an up pointing arrow exactly then I have the ruin of protection which I associate most with Odin Um, the ruin of strength and the ruin of mystery mystery.

It's nice Um and each one of those is important actually my very first runes. I got these when I was 18 Way longer than the okay. So yeah, I see I see strength there What's the second one is that looks like man? It is it is Uh, I don't know the lightning bullet son son And this one is which is strength.

Uh, this one I believe was you or growth growth So basically I went through and pit each rune individually to stand for what I feel like my life should be or what what? Way reflected. So did they actually like record information with these symbols? Like was it like Japanese conchii or was it just They they have found what's called the rune stones.

Okay, and um, they are I mean they found some in america actually that's like a rock with it carvings. Yeah, I think it's pretty well known at this point that you know Vikings were here before before it's Columbus. Yeah, um, and I'm a firm believer in that and that they I mean they were water people That was their like boats. That's what they did like And they have the boats that they found are just so There's people that have studied them and they're amazed at like the construction that how can Like how can such a primitive Community create such a thing, you know, they're so it's just like the technology that they had and possessed.

Oh, yeah, there's seafaring abilities Yeah, I mean if that's like that's what provided them life You know they were able to raid and able to go and travel You know just like greeks and stuff with like wine and say like I mean, you know They built cities up and they were able to figure out agriculture and you know Yeah, I'll first See the sale with the red white straps over there got a little lego Viking boat on my shelf over here So to address the whole Viking thing it's really Viking is a um a job title. No, okay Viking was literally it's like saying a knight a title. So well, no It's like saying you're a farmer or you're a Alarm guy or you're so to be Viking all you had to do was be one of the people that went out and raiding So you were you were at that point you were Viking you were out raping pillaging and all that good stuff Good loot, right, which I know sounds like oh well, they were barbaric monsters That's how I don't know if you know, but people are barbaric monsters. That's how they provided for their families They were clean.

They they have found cones. They have found like they were water. Yeah, they kept their shit to get him, man You know, they were very that's a dope ass like braids in their hair the um the image of the Big Ford, you know, right horn helmets. That's all like movie makeup shit There's there's no proof that they ever have horns on their helmets Um, you know, it just it was one of those things like Hollywood said how cool would it be if you were horns on these guys And they don't look like they were ready to eat your brains and just huge Um that movie Pathfinder that was a lot of other movie.

It's a great movie, but the portrayal of the Viking Oh, it's really it's like they were just over the top just barbaric super big bear hides and arms like wow Is there any is there anything that you feel like is kind of close is like a Viking show kind of close? Um, oddly enough. I actually watched it once and then I re-watched it Um some of the things that occur in that show Um, and it's very subtle and having read to have them all Um, the very first thing is like if you're a guest in someone's house or a new guest to a spot And i'm ad-libbing right now Look around know your surroundings, right? And if and as I was watching the show I was watching them entered like a new yarl's hall or something Right and they would literally just kind of pan their head around and be like taking everything in because How better to know what you're walking into you got to know your surroundings So, um, and I'll share some more of that with you guys the the the habamal teachings of Odin.
