Alyosha Samson:
Let's see how that works. I think the audio levels on my chill intro song should be fine where we're at, but, that's the experiment we're working on right now, seeing how that sounds. Today is a beautiful day, December 2nd outside of Austin, Texas. Now I have been preparing my line, my fishing line, and I have been casting. Well, no. I'm going to be casting my line into the pool of podcasting 2.0 using the the powerful tool of podcast index. I think I might be a little high on my mic, so let's make sure I'm not blowing your ears out. Blowing your ears out.
Even down a bit more. K. Podcast index is a fantastic uncensorable index of all podcasts, ideally. It's not exactly all podcasts, but any podcast that wanna be on the index or on the index. And once they're on the index, they are unremovable, irremovable by any top down powers, such as big YouTube, big Spotify, big Apple. You're not their enemy until you are, so, act accordingly. So I have been, grabbing random shows from the last day or 2, and my mission here is to share some of the goodness that's available in those random shows. So as I said, I'm gonna be casting my line into the c that is podcast index.org.
Let's just see how many shows have been published recently. Here we go. Podcastindex.org. So you can you can go to the website, and you can see their stats. So in the last 3 days, in the last 3 days, we've had 80,195 shows published on the index. So by casting my net, let's say so let's say let's say doing the show every 3 days is a nice, time frame to aim for for now. So by casting my net, I am getting between 5 10 shows. There is evidently an infinite pool, more goodies for me to find. But, you know, I think opening your heart to providence, divine providence, leads to miracles. So here we are.
Show number 1. Let's see what we catch.
[00:03:04] Unknown:
Oh.
[00:03:06] Alyosha Samson:
Laugh, cry, or die. Laugh, cry, or die. Okay. Laugh, cry, or die is a show by 2 people who experience disabilities. And, you know, actually, I gotta save this one. I gotta save this one. Alright. I'm going for a second cast immediately. Not satisfied with fish number 1. What's fish number 2?
[00:03:33] Unknown:
Pop Goes Capitalism.
[00:03:35] Alyosha Samson:
Pop Goes Capitalism. That's better. That's better. That's what I wanted. That's a big fish. That's a big fish. Pop Goes cat Capitalism was a long show. I think the episode was about 1 and a half hours. They named well, they sorta named the episode Chitchart, c h I t c h a r t. But I think Chitchart is kind of a series of theirs. I don't think this is the only episode called Chitchart. So, I'm just gonna play the intro for now and give you a vibe for what to expect from Pop Goes Capitalism.
[00:04:16] Unknown:
Hi. I'm Kieran, and I'm somewhere
[00:04:19] Unknown:
and somewhat Juliet. And I'm Jacob settling in for another winter without heating.
[00:04:26] Unknown:
And this is Chit Chat
[00:04:28] Unknown:
from Pop Goes Capitalism.
[00:04:36] Alyosha Samson:
Oh, Jacob. It'll be alright. I'm sorry to hear that. So they're both British, and they're both communist. So let's just let's see what headlines they think are worthy of note this past week.
[00:04:55] Unknown:
Yeah. Spicy times ahead. 4 more years and all that. I think it's it's interesting that Kamala basically vanished, at the end of the campaign, almost as you know. Just like, yeah. I'm gonna I'm gonna slip into the, the abyss now. And, and then, of course, the Democrats do what they always do, like, peaceful transfer of power. No January 6th for us. And, not that that would have been any good. Yeah. It would have been a neoliberal January 6th, which just would have been, I don't know, the pussy hats. Was that a thing?
[00:05:31] Unknown:
I've not heard of the pussy hats, but, Sly,
[00:05:34] Unknown:
I love it. Yeah. That was something to do with something in America. Pussy hat diva cop. I love that. Meaningless gestures really, gesturing towards it's Yeah. It's the, what what do they call it? The right loves to throw out the right signaling.
[00:05:53] Unknown:
That's it. Signaling the air there. Like, the right loves to talk about this, and I'm like, oh, I know. I know.
[00:06:01] Unknown:
Fucking hell. Signaling virtue without action.
[00:06:05] Unknown:
I mean, virtue signaling is like yeah. It's a real thing. I mean, it is a real thing. Yeah. And the left and the right use it use the term differently.
[00:06:15] Alyosha Samson:
True. True. American politics, you can't get away from it. Alright. That didn't tell us very much, so let's just keep on rolling. I think that they start to elucidate their kind of basic worldview and what they see to be our main issues.
[00:06:30] Unknown:
I guess you can roughly say the the question is, like, why is everything so shit for me? It's like the question that people are asking. And, like Yes. And what they're after is I don't want everything to be so shit anymore. And we're talking about the working class and the lower middle class, basically Pretty much. Here, which is a fuck ton of people, the vast majority of people. Oh, it's a lot. It's it's so shocking to me how badly I I don't know what I would refer to them as, but, like, you know, the supposed left wing, I'll call them. Like, how badly they're doing, but somehow the right wing who is in support of the wealthiest somehow manages time after time to dominate the narrative and explain to people, albeit completely incorrectly, but explain to people and provide people with a narrative for why everything is so shit for me, and then offer and offer solutions to why is everything so shit for me that they explain in a way that convinces people.
Of course, I don't agree with the solutions. I don't believe they are solutions.
[00:07:47] Alyosha Samson:
Nice. Nice. I I love I love when anyone is confidently portraying a worldview which despises both the left and the right in the current formulation of things. I would not classify myself as a communist or even a communist sympathizer. But, I I really I I love that they have a vocabulary to criticize both the left and the right. And I, at this point, am interested to hear more about what their what their particular worldview is. Actually, they're doing a good job of showing themselves to be pretty, idiosyncratic thinkers.
Now this is as I said, it's a long it's a long show. They're chatty. They're fun gays, 2 fun gays as far as I can tell. 1 of them does talk about his husband for a second, but the other one I mean, just listen to his voice. Alright. So they they kind of they kind of have a perspective where the world is shit, as they said, and the people, at least the people that they're interacting with and talking to, are having a tough time. So what do they think of as solutions to the majority of people having a tough time? Let's hear.
[00:09:20] Unknown:
You don't need that many shops in one area. You can have one of those shops that sells the essentials or maybe doesn't even sell them anymore. We've got fucking food banks. Why not turn all shops into food banks? Shop banks. Imagine just going in.
[00:09:36] Unknown:
Just collecting what you need. Just getting what you need. And And just go in. There you go. Because and I think a lot of people who I mean, yeah. Anyone listening to this who's not so left wing like we are we'll be thinking we'll probably be thinking at the minute something like, well, yeah, but, I mean, you saw what happened during the pandemic or other crazy times. You know? People, you know, people were were so selfish, and, you know, they just they just hoarded things. That is a symptom of the system we currently live under.
Yeah. It encourages greed. If if the pandemic had happened in, like, an ideal socialist country, and I know ideal blah blah blah, whatever. Fuck it. Ideal. I'm saying it. Yeah. Dare to dream. Then, like, people would have just gone in and just taken what they needed. You know? Or, like A family of 6 is gonna need more toilet bowl than a family of 2. Or if we're not okay. Or if we still had money.
[00:10:37] Alyosha Samson:
Oh, man. Alright. I don't know. I've been I've been I've been biting my tongue here. I don't know. I don't know. I can't have a conversation with these fellas, obviously, because they have no idea I'm here, having an imaginary conversation with them already. But they're making some pretty bold assumptions about human nature, which I guess is kind of the core of a of a communist world view. You're making pretty bold assumptions about human nature, which have generally borne out not to be true. And then also, I don't know, if I were having a conversation with these fellows, I would probably ask them which shop bank, food store yeah. Shop bank. Which which shop bank would you have gone into to request your pretty nice podcasting equipment?
You know, I I just I I have a I've I have doubts that their Shure SM 7 B and their RODE mic stand and their audio interface and their MacBook Pro, I just I have doubts that they would have been offered these products if they'd have gone into a store just saying, hey. We've got an idea. It's gonna be podcast, me and my fruity friend. It's gonna be fun. People are gonna listen. And I I would guess people do listen. These guys seem to really know what they're doing, and they have really great presence, great radio presence, podcast presence, pod presence. So they they knew that they could do it, but how does the person in the store know that they can do it?
That's my question. That's my first thought on what's wrong with shop banks. Alright. Let's keep going. They go on to discuss poverty a little bit. Let's get into poverty.
[00:12:34] Unknown:
This month, Lady Gaga and Bruno Mars' duet, die with a smile, became the fastest song ever to reach 1,000,000,000 streams on Spotify, An incredible achievement. However, according to a new report from Marie Curie and Loughborough University, a lot of people in the UK won't be dying with a smile and will, in fact, be dying in poverty.
[00:12:59] Unknown:
Who said it was gonna make me happy and uplifted?
[00:13:03] Unknown:
On November 12th, when I was watching Sky News with my breakfast I know I sound like such a good little centrist, but just you fucking wait. I was shown an article about a 19% increase in the number of people dying in poverty in the UK over the past 4 years. According to the report, 300 people die in poverty every single day in the UK.
[00:13:28] Alyosha Samson:
Yeah. COVID taught me a lesson. Here's the lesson that I learned from COVID. Are these people dying in poverty, or are these people dying of poverty? I don't know. I don't know. But I think it's a valid question to ask. Alright. So let's go on to hear a little bit more about this Marie Curie article. Marie Curie, for anyone who doesn't know it, is a UK based charity dedicated to providing care and support to people with terminal illnesses as well as their families and carers according to Brave AI. What do they call Brave AI? Brave is my preferred browser.
Love Brave. I don't think they even named it. That's nice. Thanks, Brave. Not giving your AI a cringey name. Alright. What is this Marie Curie proposal from Sky News?
[00:14:28] Unknown:
What about people living in poverty? Like, I respect the work of this charity, of course, but I am sick and tired of having to engage with the most bleak on Alright. I've gotta pause.
[00:14:41] Alyosha Samson:
I think I clipped around the key part of their, proposal here. So what Marie Curie propose are that people in their final year of life should receive whatever the state pension is, I guess, in their in their county or maybe even for the country, whatever it is. They they think that for that year, for their final year, they should receive a a decent pension, whatever that is, so that they can live well. And of course, that brings up some issues, about well, to me, it brings up the issue of when do you know that their final year has started. I think that's a tricky it's a tricky moment to identify. But, the the boys on ChitChat, go on to explain a couple of their issues as well. Imaginative,
[00:15:40] Unknown:
crappy discourses imaginable, and nothing screams hopelessly depressing to me more than the idea of saying, congratulations. You're going to die. Here's 1 year of a life worth living. When are we finally going to acknowledge in this ass ended twatfest of a country that human life has inherent value? And when are we gonna act upon it? What a fucking bleak idea that we should only have a life worth living when it's about to end. Fuck off out of here with that shit. Everyone should have a life worth living because it's a life. This is the existence we get, and we deserve to have a good one, Not just a commiseration price for a fucking glioblastoma.
What the fuck is that? No one should live in poverty. We should end poverty. Now redistribute the fucking wealth and let everybody have a decent life. What the fuck, people?
[00:16:42] Alyosha Samson:
I love this guy's confidence. I love it. He is just so impassioned. There's so much emotion in his voice. Okay. So the the proposal the proposition that's being represented here damn. I wish I could remember this fella's name. Anyway, he thinks that instead of giving people some free money for their final year, it would be a better option to give people free money for their entire lives. Okay. Yeah. Well, I don't think that I don't think that people should be stuck in a poverty cycle for an extended period. But what can you do?
I was pulling up where I am in the process here of pulling up a, tweet, an ex post. Now I mentioned a clip or 2 ago about being able to predict when exactly the end of someone's life is gonna be so that they can be reimbursed for those 12 months preceding it, which makes me think specifically about the UK. The UK right now is going through, some legal battles relating to the assisted suicide situation, which is present in countries, legal legal assisted suicide, which is present in some countries such as Canada. I think, I believe Switzerland, Belgium, probably the Netherlands. I feel like the Netherlands loves that kind of thing. Anyway, I saw a tweet. It looked interesting. I actually have not read beyond the opening sentence in it. So, let's I think it'll be interesting. Let's get into it. Now, Catherine Bia Balsingh Bia Balsingh, at miss snuffy.
She miss snuffy, that's interesting. I wonder what her well, Britain's strictest headmistress, Michaela School, small c conservative values truth, race, personal responsibility, strength, and honor. She's a brown woman. Let's go. Why do conservatives believe assisted dying is wrong? On the surface, it seems an easy moral question. Why not help someone in turmoil to die as they choose? Those of us in schools who understand culture get the idea of thin end of the wedge. Nothing remains as it began. Whatever the number of deaths at start will inevitably rise over time. Whatever the limit on time before death for the decision to kill, killing is what is, so don't killing is what it is, so don't squirm at that word, will grow over the years. Whatever the stringent laws, they will diminish.
As we have seen in Canada, over time, homeless people are offered the option as they are the frail as are the frail elderly. Damn. I'm struggling with my reading here. Let's, step it up. Come on. Some humans are strong and many are weak. How many elderly will resist those who offer it to them so they no longer feel a burden? How can we possibly know how they feel? Is it not our duty to look after those weaker than us, children, the elderly? Is it not the case that doctors make mistakes in diagnoses? Are all children good to their elderly parents even when inheritance is involved? Is your life your yours to throw away?
No. This is this points to the heart of small c conservatism. As seen by the politicians who voted against, some are real leftists. Political lefties can be conservatives. We believe we have a duty to others as well as to ourselves. Liberal progressives believe in a hedonistic world where life is about a pursuit of happiness for oneself. Small c believe in duty towards others, responsibility, honor, commitment to something bigger than oneself. The me, me, me culture of you do you now includes suicide. Great sentence. Not to mention the active assisted suicide requires the help of someone else.
Who are we to implicate others and compromise their understanding of the sanctity of life because we wish to die? Our duty towards others should trump our desires for what we want for ourselves. When we abandon our belief in sanctity of life, that's what this decision does. We lose what it is to be human. The fact that so many of us cannot see this now just shows us how far culture of choice for what I want to do should trump all else. We become less than we were. I have enormous sympathy for those trapped in pain or with terminal disease. I understand instinct to relax the rules, and I understand the instinct to relax school rules.
It seems compassionate. But we must think of the world we hand to our children. Alright. Wow. That was a messy read, but interesting to get through. I I like that little little ditty at the end there where she where she compares relaxing the rules about legally assisted suicide to the rules in school and how both can be mistaken as compassion, but ultimately are not. Well, I look forward to listening back over this and seeing if I need to rerecord it. Anyway okay. So we are oh, we were not even finished with ChitChat. So, ChitChat finishes off.
The the show's great. Like, you know, agree with them or not, the show's really great. It's high energy. The guys are a hoot. They're fun. And it looks like they end off their they end they end their show off with, some music recommendations. I don't know if they do this every time, but Chit Chart released on November 30th at around, I think, 6:30 AM, as are all of the shows I pulled. They've all been released within a 5 minute time frame. Here is their music recommendation ending of the show.
[00:23:35] Unknown:
Okeydokey. Who wants to take it take it away?
[00:23:38] Unknown:
You you you go fast. You go fast. Okay. So my first music recommendation
[00:23:43] Unknown:
this month is from Wood Rake, and it's their new song, a construct to believe in. It's modern. It's fresh, and it's very synthesized.
[00:23:57] Unknown:
Yeah. This this
[00:24:01] Alyosha Samson:
Don't exactly know why I included that clip. They do music recs. Cool. Check them out. What are they called again? Pop Goes Capitalism. Pop Goes Capitalism. Check them out. Alright. Time for another cast into the great expanse of the podcast index. My, fishing rod is not working. This is no good. Come on. What's going on here? My rod. Damn. Alright. We're in trouble. I don't know I don't know what's going on right now, but I am
[00:24:45] Unknown:
not able to fish. This is I mean, I need to fish. I can't just I'll just go from clip to clip. That wouldn't work at all. Let's try this one more time. Reset my fishing rod.
[00:25:00] Alyosha Samson:
What the hell?
[00:25:03] Unknown:
Plug in my fishing rod. Plug in my fishing rod. Plug in my fishing rod one more time.
[00:25:10] Alyosha Samson:
Oh, no. Oh, no. I don't know what I'm gonna do. Oh, I know what I'm gonna do. K. Here we go. This is important. We cannot not fish. So here we go. Here we go.
[00:25:38] Unknown:
Give me comics or give me death. Here we go.
[00:25:41] Alyosha Samson:
Okay. Wow. What a mess. Give me comics or give me death. Alright. So this is a show about comics for those who love comics. The hosts of this show are so autistic. It's amazing.
[00:26:03] Unknown:
So did did you read many comics on your holiday?
[00:26:08] Unknown:
I did, actually. Yeah. Because I was I was way behind. So I are you are we just just soft launching? What have you been reading lately and just just piling straight in? No. That was just a general, like, did you Just trying to catch you. A non comics reading after? Right. Low detail answer. Gotcha. Yeah. No. I read loads. I I was way behind, and now I am less behind. Okay. It's
[00:26:30] Alyosha Samson:
when when a show starts off like this, I think they're about to have a fight. They don't. It's great. I guess they these they're probably best friends. Anyway, let's just see what their view what their vision is for their episode.
[00:26:42] Unknown:
Well, to go from stuff we've most people absolutely have heard of, the big hitters from Marvel and DC, this episode's topic is the best comics you've never heard of. So we've dug into our reading histories to find comics that we've loved that there's a good
[00:27:09] Alyosha Samson:
They do speak at length about apparently popular and well known comics in the first 20 or 30 minutes of the show. That excerpt was already towards the second half where they start talking about their their obscure comic preferences. And we're just gonna we're gonna play a couple clips just getting a rough overview of one of these obscure comics that one of the hosts presents to the other one as a hopefully heretofore unheard of comic. If anyone listening is a fan of comics, I know I'm absolutely just I'm I'm just murdering any justice that I could be doing to represent comics and comic passion well.
I have no I've comics isn't my thing. So I I it was a nice show. I like the guys, and I wanna represent a vibe for what they're about. But I I know I'm I know I'm picking the wrong clips here.
[00:28:10] Unknown:
So my pick is not only the best comic you've ever heard of, hands down one of the best comics of all time in my humble opinion. This is a comic called Kain by Paul Grice. Kane with a k. Paul Grice is a British writer and artist from Sheffield. He's mainly known for his other creator owned comics, such as Jack Staff, which is kind of a captain Britain, homage, and homage to, like, classic British adventure comics, and Mudman is like a teenager with
[00:28:52] Alyosha Samson:
With abilities relating to mud. Well, I'm glad that we're gonna be able to get a little glimpse into one of the best comics ever made. Let's go.
[00:29:02] Unknown:
1 of the associates of Oscar Dark is a guy called Jimmy Fix It, who introduces himself with the line, how's about that then? That's not good, Mike. Well, this is the interesting news reading. So obviously, for, younger listeners or non British listeners, this is character clearly based on at the time it was published, generally well received light entertainment, children's TV presenter, top of the pops music show presenter, and all around charity fundraiser, Jimmy Saville, after his death about 10 years ago.
[00:29:44] Alyosha Samson:
Oh, no. Oh, no. I messed myself up with my with my line cast incident. Alright. Let's let's see if we can just resume.
[00:29:53] Unknown:
1 of these, after his death about 10 years ago, he used to feel that he was just an absolutely horrific sex offender predominantly involving children, teenagers.
[00:30:06] Unknown:
Corpses.
[00:30:06] Unknown:
Yes. And but anything. Anyone. Jesus. And although this character isn't that, he's just involved in your run of the mill organized crime. I think it's interesting that clearly Paul Grace had him pegged as a bad and
[00:30:21] Alyosha Samson:
Yeah. And I I my small exposure to comics up until now has supported this idea that some some comic writers can be really, insightful. I mean, what? Fucking delete that. Alright. Let's keep it going. Next clip.
[00:30:41] Unknown:
There's a clear given the time it was published, there's a clear Sin City influencing there. It's black and white artwork set in this fictional city. It follows the police, follows criminals. And it can at times be a serious cop drama, but then it's also a very silly comedy at times. It varies between the 2. It's not as I think I struggle to call it as noir as Sin City is. Certainly not as, visceral as sin city is. But the one of the main reasons it's an absolute classic is, Christ is a master of page composition and graphic invention. There's very little, what I call, storyboarding storytelling.
So square panel by square panel, square panel, square panel. It's like you're watching a TV show.
[00:31:38] Alyosha Samson:
Nice. Okay. Well, that's all I got for give me comics or give me death. There's a comic. It's very good. It's relatively obscure. It has a Sin City vibe. The author is potentially insightful ahead of his time, and the 2 lads on the show like it. Next show. Ah, alright. Where's my line? Where's my line?
[00:32:08] Unknown:
Damn it.
[00:32:09] Alyosha Samson:
What if I just unplug this? Unplug. Replug. Nope. Nope. Alrighty. So let's lean my rod way back and and
[00:32:42] Unknown:
woah.
[00:32:44] Alyosha Samson:
Woah.
[00:32:45] Unknown:
Give me comics or give me death. Okay. This is fucking out of control.
[00:32:50] Alyosha Samson:
Radio Musica Christiana. I'm having major technical issues here, but let's just keep on rolling. So, this one's fun actually. It's a music podcast. I've gotta be a bit picky when music podcasts come along because, you know, it's it's it's its own vibe and it's fantastic and I wanna represent them, but I can't have a list full of radio of music podcasts. But this one was it just I wanna keep this on the short list for when I'm cooking Christmas roast. Just have it playing in the background in the kitchen just creating a vibe. It's Italian.
I don't even speak a word. It appears to be the Vatican radio station. Let me just play. It's immaculate. Just what a pleasure. What an absolute pleasure. I am absolutely keeping this episode in the tank, and I might even keep a tab on Radio Musica Christiana. All one word. All one word. Radio Musica Christiana. Now I have a second clip, just for the the final fade out before we move on to a different kind of show. This is from the very I hope everyone's feeling relaxed, settled, and happy. Devotional. So next podcast is actually, after my little spiel before, is actually another music podcast. I prom I didn't design it to be this way. This is just you cast the line and you get what you get.
We're gonna have to go with a silent line cast this time. And what do we catch?
[00:36:35] Unknown:
Give me comics or give me death.
[00:36:38] Alyosha Samson:
No. Not again. The Uncle Cyrus Show. I really gotta start doing some measure twice cut once out here. The Uncle Cyrus Show. The episode is called Homefront Commando. I'm just gonna play the the open for the show, and then we'll we'll see where we go from there.
[00:37:05] Unknown:

[00:37:09] Unknown:
DJ Milkweed in your area.
[00:37:13] Alyosha Samson:
How hot is hot?
[00:37:18] Unknown:
We are The Siris Show. Everybody says that Cyrus is the one and only. I think we better go have a look for ourselves.
[00:37:26] Unknown:
What's the meet, Papa Cyrus? Hi, Papa Cyrus.
[00:37:36] Alyosha Samson:
Yes. Amongst all this newfangled digital podcasting, we have an old school radio guy. I love it. I love it. Alright. So this guy, he's, I I think he's just sitting there with a pile of records, I think. But he knows what he's doing. He really knows what he's doing. He totally paints a picture of where he's at, which is Israel. He's in Northern Israel. And, let me just keep on clipping, see what he has to say.
[00:38:11] Unknown:
What's crack a lacking out there, Anna Shane? Welcome. You have just tuned in to the Uncle Cyrus Show. And today we are going homefront commando. What the hell are you talking about? Well, let me tell you what that means to you is together we will be militantly free balling into today's show. It is September 15, 2024 and day 345 of our war with Hamas. 144 days since the first rockets were fired here at the Galil by our disgruntled neighbors in the north, the Hezbollah. And as we all know over here the past few days, things have been ramping up. Alarm sound and all over Israel today. Rockets in Tel Aviv as well as all along here in the north.
Oh, hey, Bob. Boys. That's right. I've been woken out of my bed the last few days in the morning, early AM from explosions. From above, they rattle all the windows in my house. The alarms have been sounding, drone infiltrations. I see soldiers popping out everywhere I go. It's a crazy world out there. Put on your seatbelts. Let's go.
[00:39:39] Unknown:
I got a fever, and the only prescription
[00:39:42] Alyosha Samson:
is the whole sirens. Love it, dude. Love it. Alright. This is a music show. I recommend it. I absolutely recommend it. And I have a couple more clips I'm going to play. Now this guy, I don't know. He's he's in the zone. He's playing the Viagra Boys. He's playing King Crew. He's playing The White Stripes. He I'm gonna actually play you an intro to a band and a little bit of a song. I can't I can't do this guy justice. I can't do him justice. I wanna I've gotta represent him on the show. I gotta feature him. He came up. He fit I I caught line on, buddy. I got a line on. The Uncle Cyrus Show. But this guy is just he is so much more achieved, professional, slick, full of Riz than I am. He he is just Riztastic.
Uncle Fucking. I shouldn't have said that. That was bad. That was bad. Let's listen to him introing a band. We're gonna listen to him tell a short story and then let him sign off into the final podcast of the, Alyosha deep sea fishing special. Let's go, Uncle Cyrus.
[00:41:14] Unknown:
Take a little twist, sharp turn, take things up a notch. I got a record queued up from a pioneer and act from Zambia. That's right. This track is called Wale. Now the band's name is W. I. T. W. I. T. Is an acronym standing for WAIFOR because this is a good one. W. I. T. C. H. We intend to cause havoc. Now, released in 1975 as part of their album introduction, this showing showcases the band's signature blend of rock guitar riffs, groovy bass lines, and traditional African percussion. Yeah. That's a thing. Their music has been celebrated for its unique blend of genres and its contribution to the musical landscape of Zambia and beyond.
So we're gonna set the tone once again for a heavy lift off.
[00:42:07] Alyosha Samson:
Nice. Nice. And I'm actually not gonna be playing the songs right now. Just feels like head over to uncle Cyrus' show if you wanna listen to his music selection. It's highly recommended. I love it. I'm so effusive over here about uncle Cyrus' show. Yeah. I'm sorry if it's frustrating. If it is frustrating, I'll I'll play the tunes next time through. But for right now, it's more about getting a a a vibe and insight, people making up their mind as to whether or not they wanna go check out this other show. And, for me and my part, getting through these clips and introing more and more of what's out there is my objective. So as I said, I do have a couple more clips from Uncle Cyrus. Here, he is going to tell a short story about the artist
[00:43:03] Unknown:
of one of the songs he's about to play. I got another interesting artist with a backstory. Now I've played him on this show once before because he's an old dear friend of mine, and he goes by the name of the talented mister Jose Rivas. I met Jose Rivas back in the day, but back then he was a 15 year old French prostitute named Chloe with webbed feet. Now we met barefoot at a bistro for bragabonds and bonded over our love for West Montgomery, big old badunkadunks, and Jack Harrah's gardening tricks. But Chloe fled France at the age of 16 and landed in New York City, changing his name to Jose Rivas because of some mix up with his CVS pharmacy pickup that day. They handed him the wrong bag and he decided to take whatever meds were in there and take the full identity of mister Jose Rivas.
So, no mistakes, remember? Only happy little accidents? So Jose went on to become a puppeteer in the subways of New York City, making all of his puppets from just whittling wood. And from there, he went on to teach himself to make musical instruments out of wood and would pedal them on the subway when he played, which is how the both of us reconnected. He tried selling me a wooden flute that he had carved into the shape of a penis with legs. So I'll let you guess which side he put the blowhole on. Anyway, today's Jose Rivas lives in New York City making his own instruments, but now he has electrified all of them. He makes all musical instruments using nothing but old kitchen appliances.
He sings, he dances, he plays them all himself. He also makes outrageous claims like he invented the question mark. Ladies and gentlemen, without further ado, I present to you the whole bag of Harlem. This is mister Jose Rivas with Andrea
[00:44:55] Unknown:
for the first time.
[00:45:00] Alyosha Samson:
Alright. We're just gonna play a little bit of this song. Okay. Nice. Nice. Jose Rivas. I lived in New York City for just short of a decade, and I can attest that there are Jose Rivas's all over the place, especially up in Harlem. Alright. Let's listen to Cyrus signing off and then move on to the final show of today.
[00:46:03] Unknown:
All the way from the rugged lands to the temple mount. This show has been brought to you by the mighty spiders launching missile crew. You know how we do at your good old funky uncle in interplanetary June. That's right. Our weekly special guest, DJ Milkweed, in your area. And just remember to And just remember to listen to me and not your rabbi because the funky uncle Cyrus show is available wherever you get your podcasts.
[00:46:39] Alyosha Samson:
That's right. Apple, Google, Amazon. Nice. Uncle Cyrus. Okay. Alright. He's a pro. He's a real pro. Alright. Final silent cast of the day. The waters are murky. The mist has settled. It's late. It's late. I cast my cast my net? No. You fucking what do you do? You cast fishing rod? I cast my rod. Well, I draw my rod back. I hurl it forward. The little plumb weight hits the water. The hook descends. I get a wriggle. What do I have? What's online? The Jimmy James Show a to z. The Jimmy James Show a to z. Hello. Hello. Hello.
Alright. Let's see. Let's see. I have a handful of clips from the Jimmy James Show a to z, and I have to warn you. We, we have a touch of the schizophrenia. I'm telling you. This is a skitso show. Jimmy James, I'm just gonna I'm just gonna crank through the clips. I think they're gonna be, to some degree, self explanatory. And to some degree, what what is there even to explain? Listen up. Clip 1.
[00:48:07] Unknown:
The same way we defecate. Hello, Shelly. My name is Nicole. I am here. I am in your, like, at the hotel. I am here strictly to do whatever I have to to seduce you. I will rob you, darling, and make you get so so naked I should really stop smoking. It is not how you say in America. Ouch. Oh.
[00:48:56] Alyosha Samson:
Oh, boy. So we have a French AI cigarette smoking, potentially cancer riddled woman, opening the show.
[00:49:08] Unknown:
Fast forward a good minute or 2, and we have another character. Holy shit. I get a dead prostitute, and I'm strapped to a chair, naked and afraid. This totally beats the show. What the hell? I wonder if I'll get blamed for this. If I do, will I be in prison by tomorrow and be some guy's bitch? Okay.
[00:49:25] Alyosha Samson:
Yep. Alright. This guy does go on to complain about the fact that he's going to be the voice over in a show. But enough of that AI. Let's see if there are any other characters showing face in Jimmy James' universe.
[00:49:39] Unknown:
Another voice began to be heard by people watching this broadcast. And it was not the cameraman, and it was certainly not the TV journalist. It was a woman's voice. And there was no woman anywhere near the shot. And after the fact, the journalist and the cameraman would also attest that there was nobody around. It was just them. But this detached, very pained voice said very clearly, and all these people heard it live,
[00:50:03] Unknown:
this is very painful. Why only me?
[00:50:12] Alyosha Samson:
Don't know about the Japanese. Okay. So we've had a AI French smoking lady. We've had an AI American self aware narrator. We've had a manual recording of the TV. Let's get introduced to Jimmy James himself.
[00:50:29] Unknown:
And if you guys can hear this, just imagine what I can hear. It is now time to explain to people just what's wrong with me.
[00:50:48] Unknown:
A philosophical odyssey rhyming through life's lessons. Canto 1, the spark of curiosity. In realms of thought where wisdom bleems, high pendulous tale chasing sanity's dreams. Nice.
[00:51:01] Alyosha Samson:
Thanks, Jimmy James. This intro comes about halfway through the couple of hours long episode after a bunch of unhinged AI stuff. We'll continue with clip number 5 from the Jimmy James a to z.
[00:51:22] Unknown:
No matter what you do in life, worst case is you try your best. You be yourself, and you do what you can do with compassion, honesty, effort, and understanding, and it goes worst case. And then you move on like everything else.
[00:51:38] Unknown:
That was pursuit of wonder. That was not the full video. I will put the link in the description below. A reason to stop worrying. Watch this whenever you're stressed or anxious.
[00:52:04] Alyosha Samson:
Thanks, Jimmy James. I will. Pursuit of Wanda. I think that's a YouTube video. I think it's a YouTube channel, but that's a nice recommendation from Jimmy. Let's keep going. Clip 6.
[00:52:21] Unknown:
I wanted to do a trailer, so hopefully I have enough here I can cut together into a trailer. Alright. I'll be right back. And, I hope you guys really stay tuned for the show. I think this is gonna be probably one of the best things I put together personally.
[00:52:37] Alyosha Samson:
Oh, we haven't started the show yet. Okay. My mistake. So I think at this point, we're about an hour and a half into the episode. So good to know that the show hasn't started yet. Let's, let's listen for the opening of the show. This is personal stuff that I have not shared. Once again, not shared
[00:52:54] Unknown:
with only but maybe 2 or 3 people. And I have not shared I mean, the whole 9 yards here. I'm not talking about I've done 4 or 5 readings in my life. I might have said that, but I have not shared the whole life part to it yet. And, I actually have a surprise in there, and it also contains Google. So I hope you guys dig around. Contains Google.
[00:53:22] Alyosha Samson:
Well, there's only one way to find out. Let's see. Let's see where and how is Google contained, Jimmy James. Clip 7.
[00:53:33] Unknown:
Alright. We're back. We got about shit. Yeah. I know it's coming out shitty. I don't have still, I'm not. I just I was in and out, actually. Should've told you just the time we went in there, so I knew. It's 3:40 AM. I'm actually gonna be stopping this because I had no idea how long I've been recording. Actually, I do. And you guys are probably, what the hell is he talking about?
[00:53:57] Alyosha Samson:
No. Of course not. Of course, he's not gonna tell us about Google. He goes on an unhinged walk out around, I'm guessing, New York City. I just imagine it to be in New York City. But he's he's recording this podcast live, while walking around town at 3:40 AM. It's a really it's a really unhinged episode, a really unhinged recording. But it there is a there is a philosophical aspect to it. Chaotic, dark, shadowy, but honest, philosophical angle to what's going on. We have so it's 3:40 AM. He appears to be finished with his walkabout. He arrives home.
And before closing out the show, which he's about to do and we're about to do, he has to make a shout out.
[00:54:55] Unknown:
Alright. Before I say anything, I don't have any sponsors for this show, so I'm just gonna go ahead and throw, a couple people up that I know. 1st, I'm gonna hit up Richard Kaufman. Go check him out. He is brilliant. He has a, book out that he he put over 11,000 hours in and signed a copy for me and just mailed it to me for free. Alright? But, I I I wouldn't feel right without at least saying thank you, Richard, for helping me out with the book. At page I'm on page, you know, because I can't just I could read it really quickly, but then that's just not that's not right.
I just start I'm starting to get to page, let's see what you would know. Table of contents, but, like, right past that. Chap chapter 1. What an idiot. I'm not really a book a book reader, so I I mean, I know what chapters are. Just didn't realize I wasn't on the first chapter. See, that's how good his book is.
[00:56:09] Alyosha Samson:
Jimmy James. Jimmy James. Amazing. Okay. So he's giving a shout out to the to this book that he received, and he's read through the table of contents. So, oh, man. I really this guy is something. Something. And on the subject of Jimmy James being something, I'm going to, play the final short clip from the Jimmy James show a to z, which is his sign out sign out his sign out for his show. This is how Jimmy James chooses let let's pause pause for a second. Just take a breath. Take a guess. How's Jimmy James gonna sign off his show? It's late at night. It's probably 4 AM. He's at home, and he's about to finish recording the podcast that he puts out into the world.
Did you guess he takes a piss?
[00:57:13] Unknown:
My god. A glorious day. I don't think you guys could hear that, so, I'm gonna go back. I'm actually gonna stop this here. Oh, god. I'm just fucking through it. Yeah.
[00:57:39] Alyosha Samson:
Always something. There it is. Alright. That was it. That was it. That was Jimmy James, and that was Alyosha's deep sea fishing adventure episode 1 as well. This has been fun. This worked. We're coming up on an hour, which is a nice round number. I if any this is this is this is the first episode. This is 1. This is 0.0.9. This is test episode. Hopefully, my last test episode. I would say this was a success. To clarify, again, what I'm doing here is I'm using the API access. I don't know how to speak API talk, but I'm I'm in podcast index dot org, which is the what's the word?
Begins with r. Repository, which is the repository of all podcasts which do not want to be controlled or cancellable by any centralized institutions, such as Spotify, Apple, YouTube, etcetera. Now in podcast index, I am selecting a narrow time frame from which to fish podcast episodes, which gives me a completely random handful of podcasts which have been released in the last couple of days. These particular podcasts that we just went through were released on November 30th around 6 45 AM. And what I'm gonna be doing is posting a show full of random contents, full of random podcasts published within a day or 2 of my show, and hopefully, we're gonna dig up some gold.
It feels maybe I should just end on that. Hopefully, we're gonna dig up some gold. Until next time.

Suggest that hypnotic techno, particularly its use of polyrhythms, can have a profound effect on the brain. Polyrhythms, multiple rhythms played simultaneously, challenge the brain's natural tendency to process patterns linearly. This results in a shift in neural activity as the brain attempts to synchronize with complex overlapping beats. As the auditory cortex processes these rhythms, brain waves can become entrained at the tempo of the music. This entrainment often leads to increased alpha and theta wave activity associated with relaxed and meditative states. In some cases, polyrhythmic with relaxed and meditative states. In some cases, polyrhythmic patterns could also stimulate gamma waves linked to heightened focus and cognitive function. The repetitive and evolving nature of hypnotic techno can promote a state of flow, specifically during meditation, where the brain bypasses routine conscious thought inducing a trance like experience.
This effect may trigger the release of dopamine enhancing both mood and motivation while reducing stress and anxiety. Thus, the rhythmic complexity of this genre not only engages the auditory pathways, but also encourages a meditative and euphoric mental state. Stay. Stay. Stay. Stay. Stay. Stay. Stay.
[01:01:22] Unknown:
Stay. Stay. Stay. Stay. Stay. Stay. Stay. Stay. Stay. Stay. Stay. Stay. Stay. Stay. Stay.
Let's see how that works. I think the audio levels on my chill intro song should be fine where we're at, but, that's the experiment we're working on right now, seeing how that sounds. Today is a beautiful day, December 2nd outside of Austin, Texas. Now I have been preparing my line, my fishing line, and I have been casting. Well, no. I'm going to be casting my line into the pool of podcasting 2.0 using the the powerful tool of podcast index. I think I might be a little high on my mic, so let's make sure I'm not blowing your ears out. Blowing your ears out.
Even down a bit more. K. Podcast index is a fantastic uncensorable index of all podcasts, ideally. It's not exactly all podcasts, but any podcast that wanna be on the index or on the index. And once they're on the index, they are unremovable, irremovable by any top down powers, such as big YouTube, big Spotify, big Apple. You're not their enemy until you are, so, act accordingly. So I have been, grabbing random shows from the last day or 2, and my mission here is to share some of the goodness that's available in those random shows. So as I said, I'm gonna be casting my line into the c that is podcast index.org.
Let's just see how many shows have been published recently. Here we go. Podcastindex.org. So you can you can go to the website, and you can see their stats. So in the last 3 days, in the last 3 days, we've had 80,195 shows published on the index. So by casting my net, let's say so let's say let's say doing the show every 3 days is a nice, time frame to aim for for now. So by casting my net, I am getting between 5 10 shows. There is evidently an infinite pool, more goodies for me to find. But, you know, I think opening your heart to providence, divine providence, leads to miracles. So here we are.
Show number 1. Let's see what we catch.
[00:03:04] Unknown:
Oh.
[00:03:06] Alyosha Samson:
Laugh, cry, or die. Laugh, cry, or die. Okay. Laugh, cry, or die is a show by 2 people who experience disabilities. And, you know, actually, I gotta save this one. I gotta save this one. Alright. I'm going for a second cast immediately. Not satisfied with fish number 1. What's fish number 2?
[00:03:33] Unknown:
Pop Goes Capitalism.
[00:03:35] Alyosha Samson:
Pop Goes Capitalism. That's better. That's better. That's what I wanted. That's a big fish. That's a big fish. Pop Goes cat Capitalism was a long show. I think the episode was about 1 and a half hours. They named well, they sorta named the episode Chitchart, c h I t c h a r t. But I think Chitchart is kind of a series of theirs. I don't think this is the only episode called Chitchart. So, I'm just gonna play the intro for now and give you a vibe for what to expect from Pop Goes Capitalism.
[00:04:16] Unknown:
Hi. I'm Kieran, and I'm somewhere
[00:04:19] Unknown:
and somewhat Juliet. And I'm Jacob settling in for another winter without heating.
[00:04:26] Unknown:
And this is Chit Chat
[00:04:28] Unknown:
from Pop Goes Capitalism.
[00:04:36] Alyosha Samson:
Oh, Jacob. It'll be alright. I'm sorry to hear that. So they're both British, and they're both communist. So let's just let's see what headlines they think are worthy of note this past week.
[00:04:55] Unknown:
Yeah. Spicy times ahead. 4 more years and all that. I think it's it's interesting that Kamala basically vanished, at the end of the campaign, almost as you know. Just like, yeah. I'm gonna I'm gonna slip into the, the abyss now. And, and then, of course, the Democrats do what they always do, like, peaceful transfer of power. No January 6th for us. And, not that that would have been any good. Yeah. It would have been a neoliberal January 6th, which just would have been, I don't know, the pussy hats. Was that a thing?
[00:05:31] Unknown:
I've not heard of the pussy hats, but, Sly,
[00:05:34] Unknown:
I love it. Yeah. That was something to do with something in America. Pussy hat diva cop. I love that. Meaningless gestures really, gesturing towards it's Yeah. It's the, what what do they call it? The right loves to throw out the right signaling.
[00:05:53] Unknown:
That's it. Signaling the air there. Like, the right loves to talk about this, and I'm like, oh, I know. I know.
[00:06:01] Unknown:
Fucking hell. Signaling virtue without action.
[00:06:05] Unknown:
I mean, virtue signaling is like yeah. It's a real thing. I mean, it is a real thing. Yeah. And the left and the right use it use the term differently.
[00:06:15] Alyosha Samson:
True. True. American politics, you can't get away from it. Alright. That didn't tell us very much, so let's just keep on rolling. I think that they start to elucidate their kind of basic worldview and what they see to be our main issues.
[00:06:30] Unknown:
I guess you can roughly say the the question is, like, why is everything so shit for me? It's like the question that people are asking. And, like Yes. And what they're after is I don't want everything to be so shit anymore. And we're talking about the working class and the lower middle class, basically Pretty much. Here, which is a fuck ton of people, the vast majority of people. Oh, it's a lot. It's it's so shocking to me how badly I I don't know what I would refer to them as, but, like, you know, the supposed left wing, I'll call them. Like, how badly they're doing, but somehow the right wing who is in support of the wealthiest somehow manages time after time to dominate the narrative and explain to people, albeit completely incorrectly, but explain to people and provide people with a narrative for why everything is so shit for me, and then offer and offer solutions to why is everything so shit for me that they explain in a way that convinces people.
Of course, I don't agree with the solutions. I don't believe they are solutions.
[00:07:47] Alyosha Samson:
Nice. Nice. I I love I love when anyone is confidently portraying a worldview which despises both the left and the right in the current formulation of things. I would not classify myself as a communist or even a communist sympathizer. But, I I really I I love that they have a vocabulary to criticize both the left and the right. And I, at this point, am interested to hear more about what their what their particular worldview is. Actually, they're doing a good job of showing themselves to be pretty, idiosyncratic thinkers.
Now this is as I said, it's a long it's a long show. They're chatty. They're fun gays, 2 fun gays as far as I can tell. 1 of them does talk about his husband for a second, but the other one I mean, just listen to his voice. Alright. So they they kind of they kind of have a perspective where the world is shit, as they said, and the people, at least the people that they're interacting with and talking to, are having a tough time. So what do they think of as solutions to the majority of people having a tough time? Let's hear.
[00:09:20] Unknown:
You don't need that many shops in one area. You can have one of those shops that sells the essentials or maybe doesn't even sell them anymore. We've got fucking food banks. Why not turn all shops into food banks? Shop banks. Imagine just going in.
[00:09:36] Unknown:
Just collecting what you need. Just getting what you need. And And just go in. There you go. Because and I think a lot of people who I mean, yeah. Anyone listening to this who's not so left wing like we are we'll be thinking we'll probably be thinking at the minute something like, well, yeah, but, I mean, you saw what happened during the pandemic or other crazy times. You know? People, you know, people were were so selfish, and, you know, they just they just hoarded things. That is a symptom of the system we currently live under.
Yeah. It encourages greed. If if the pandemic had happened in, like, an ideal socialist country, and I know ideal blah blah blah, whatever. Fuck it. Ideal. I'm saying it. Yeah. Dare to dream. Then, like, people would have just gone in and just taken what they needed. You know? Or, like A family of 6 is gonna need more toilet bowl than a family of 2. Or if we're not okay. Or if we still had money.
[00:10:37] Alyosha Samson:
Oh, man. Alright. I don't know. I've been I've been I've been biting my tongue here. I don't know. I don't know. I can't have a conversation with these fellas, obviously, because they have no idea I'm here, having an imaginary conversation with them already. But they're making some pretty bold assumptions about human nature, which I guess is kind of the core of a of a communist world view. You're making pretty bold assumptions about human nature, which have generally borne out not to be true. And then also, I don't know, if I were having a conversation with these fellows, I would probably ask them which shop bank, food store yeah. Shop bank. Which which shop bank would you have gone into to request your pretty nice podcasting equipment?
You know, I I just I I have a I've I have doubts that their Shure SM 7 B and their RODE mic stand and their audio interface and their MacBook Pro, I just I have doubts that they would have been offered these products if they'd have gone into a store just saying, hey. We've got an idea. It's gonna be podcast, me and my fruity friend. It's gonna be fun. People are gonna listen. And I I would guess people do listen. These guys seem to really know what they're doing, and they have really great presence, great radio presence, podcast presence, pod presence. So they they knew that they could do it, but how does the person in the store know that they can do it?
That's my question. That's my first thought on what's wrong with shop banks. Alright. Let's keep going. They go on to discuss poverty a little bit. Let's get into poverty.
[00:12:34] Unknown:
This month, Lady Gaga and Bruno Mars' duet, die with a smile, became the fastest song ever to reach 1,000,000,000 streams on Spotify, An incredible achievement. However, according to a new report from Marie Curie and Loughborough University, a lot of people in the UK won't be dying with a smile and will, in fact, be dying in poverty.
[00:12:59] Unknown:
Who said it was gonna make me happy and uplifted?
[00:13:03] Unknown:
On November 12th, when I was watching Sky News with my breakfast I know I sound like such a good little centrist, but just you fucking wait. I was shown an article about a 19% increase in the number of people dying in poverty in the UK over the past 4 years. According to the report, 300 people die in poverty every single day in the UK.
[00:13:28] Alyosha Samson:
Yeah. COVID taught me a lesson. Here's the lesson that I learned from COVID. Are these people dying in poverty, or are these people dying of poverty? I don't know. I don't know. But I think it's a valid question to ask. Alright. So let's go on to hear a little bit more about this Marie Curie article. Marie Curie, for anyone who doesn't know it, is a UK based charity dedicated to providing care and support to people with terminal illnesses as well as their families and carers according to Brave AI. What do they call Brave AI? Brave is my preferred browser.
Love Brave. I don't think they even named it. That's nice. Thanks, Brave. Not giving your AI a cringey name. Alright. What is this Marie Curie proposal from Sky News?
[00:14:28] Unknown:
What about people living in poverty? Like, I respect the work of this charity, of course, but I am sick and tired of having to engage with the most bleak on Alright. I've gotta pause.
[00:14:41] Alyosha Samson:
I think I clipped around the key part of their, proposal here. So what Marie Curie propose are that people in their final year of life should receive whatever the state pension is, I guess, in their in their county or maybe even for the country, whatever it is. They they think that for that year, for their final year, they should receive a a decent pension, whatever that is, so that they can live well. And of course, that brings up some issues, about well, to me, it brings up the issue of when do you know that their final year has started. I think that's a tricky it's a tricky moment to identify. But, the the boys on ChitChat, go on to explain a couple of their issues as well. Imaginative,
[00:15:40] Unknown:
crappy discourses imaginable, and nothing screams hopelessly depressing to me more than the idea of saying, congratulations. You're going to die. Here's 1 year of a life worth living. When are we finally going to acknowledge in this ass ended twatfest of a country that human life has inherent value? And when are we gonna act upon it? What a fucking bleak idea that we should only have a life worth living when it's about to end. Fuck off out of here with that shit. Everyone should have a life worth living because it's a life. This is the existence we get, and we deserve to have a good one, Not just a commiseration price for a fucking glioblastoma.
What the fuck is that? No one should live in poverty. We should end poverty. Now redistribute the fucking wealth and let everybody have a decent life. What the fuck, people?
[00:16:42] Alyosha Samson:
I love this guy's confidence. I love it. He is just so impassioned. There's so much emotion in his voice. Okay. So the the proposal the proposition that's being represented here damn. I wish I could remember this fella's name. Anyway, he thinks that instead of giving people some free money for their final year, it would be a better option to give people free money for their entire lives. Okay. Yeah. Well, I don't think that I don't think that people should be stuck in a poverty cycle for an extended period. But what can you do?
I was pulling up where I am in the process here of pulling up a, tweet, an ex post. Now I mentioned a clip or 2 ago about being able to predict when exactly the end of someone's life is gonna be so that they can be reimbursed for those 12 months preceding it, which makes me think specifically about the UK. The UK right now is going through, some legal battles relating to the assisted suicide situation, which is present in countries, legal legal assisted suicide, which is present in some countries such as Canada. I think, I believe Switzerland, Belgium, probably the Netherlands. I feel like the Netherlands loves that kind of thing. Anyway, I saw a tweet. It looked interesting. I actually have not read beyond the opening sentence in it. So, let's I think it'll be interesting. Let's get into it. Now, Catherine Bia Balsingh Bia Balsingh, at miss snuffy.
She miss snuffy, that's interesting. I wonder what her well, Britain's strictest headmistress, Michaela School, small c conservative values truth, race, personal responsibility, strength, and honor. She's a brown woman. Let's go. Why do conservatives believe assisted dying is wrong? On the surface, it seems an easy moral question. Why not help someone in turmoil to die as they choose? Those of us in schools who understand culture get the idea of thin end of the wedge. Nothing remains as it began. Whatever the number of deaths at start will inevitably rise over time. Whatever the limit on time before death for the decision to kill, killing is what is, so don't killing is what it is, so don't squirm at that word, will grow over the years. Whatever the stringent laws, they will diminish.
As we have seen in Canada, over time, homeless people are offered the option as they are the frail as are the frail elderly. Damn. I'm struggling with my reading here. Let's, step it up. Come on. Some humans are strong and many are weak. How many elderly will resist those who offer it to them so they no longer feel a burden? How can we possibly know how they feel? Is it not our duty to look after those weaker than us, children, the elderly? Is it not the case that doctors make mistakes in diagnoses? Are all children good to their elderly parents even when inheritance is involved? Is your life your yours to throw away?
No. This is this points to the heart of small c conservatism. As seen by the politicians who voted against, some are real leftists. Political lefties can be conservatives. We believe we have a duty to others as well as to ourselves. Liberal progressives believe in a hedonistic world where life is about a pursuit of happiness for oneself. Small c believe in duty towards others, responsibility, honor, commitment to something bigger than oneself. The me, me, me culture of you do you now includes suicide. Great sentence. Not to mention the active assisted suicide requires the help of someone else.
Who are we to implicate others and compromise their understanding of the sanctity of life because we wish to die? Our duty towards others should trump our desires for what we want for ourselves. When we abandon our belief in sanctity of life, that's what this decision does. We lose what it is to be human. The fact that so many of us cannot see this now just shows us how far culture of choice for what I want to do should trump all else. We become less than we were. I have enormous sympathy for those trapped in pain or with terminal disease. I understand instinct to relax the rules, and I understand the instinct to relax school rules.
It seems compassionate. But we must think of the world we hand to our children. Alright. Wow. That was a messy read, but interesting to get through. I I like that little little ditty at the end there where she where she compares relaxing the rules about legally assisted suicide to the rules in school and how both can be mistaken as compassion, but ultimately are not. Well, I look forward to listening back over this and seeing if I need to rerecord it. Anyway okay. So we are oh, we were not even finished with ChitChat. So, ChitChat finishes off.
The the show's great. Like, you know, agree with them or not, the show's really great. It's high energy. The guys are a hoot. They're fun. And it looks like they end off their they end they end their show off with, some music recommendations. I don't know if they do this every time, but Chit Chart released on November 30th at around, I think, 6:30 AM, as are all of the shows I pulled. They've all been released within a 5 minute time frame. Here is their music recommendation ending of the show.
[00:23:35] Unknown:
Okeydokey. Who wants to take it take it away?
[00:23:38] Unknown:
You you you go fast. You go fast. Okay. So my first music recommendation
[00:23:43] Unknown:
this month is from Wood Rake, and it's their new song, a construct to believe in. It's modern. It's fresh, and it's very synthesized.
[00:23:57] Unknown:
Yeah. This this
[00:24:01] Alyosha Samson:
Don't exactly know why I included that clip. They do music recs. Cool. Check them out. What are they called again? Pop Goes Capitalism. Pop Goes Capitalism. Check them out. Alright. Time for another cast into the great expanse of the podcast index. My, fishing rod is not working. This is no good. Come on. What's going on here? My rod. Damn. Alright. We're in trouble. I don't know I don't know what's going on right now, but I am
[00:24:45] Unknown:
not able to fish. This is I mean, I need to fish. I can't just I'll just go from clip to clip. That wouldn't work at all. Let's try this one more time. Reset my fishing rod.
[00:25:00] Alyosha Samson:
What the hell?
[00:25:03] Unknown:
Plug in my fishing rod. Plug in my fishing rod. Plug in my fishing rod one more time.
[00:25:10] Alyosha Samson:
Oh, no. Oh, no. I don't know what I'm gonna do. Oh, I know what I'm gonna do. K. Here we go. This is important. We cannot not fish. So here we go. Here we go.
[00:25:38] Unknown:
Give me comics or give me death. Here we go.
[00:25:41] Alyosha Samson:
Okay. Wow. What a mess. Give me comics or give me death. Alright. So this is a show about comics for those who love comics. The hosts of this show are so autistic. It's amazing.
[00:26:03] Unknown:
So did did you read many comics on your holiday?
[00:26:08] Unknown:
I did, actually. Yeah. Because I was I was way behind. So I are you are we just just soft launching? What have you been reading lately and just just piling straight in? No. That was just a general, like, did you Just trying to catch you. A non comics reading after? Right. Low detail answer. Gotcha. Yeah. No. I read loads. I I was way behind, and now I am less behind. Okay. It's
[00:26:30] Alyosha Samson:
when when a show starts off like this, I think they're about to have a fight. They don't. It's great. I guess they these they're probably best friends. Anyway, let's just see what their view what their vision is for their episode.
[00:26:42] Unknown:
Well, to go from stuff we've most people absolutely have heard of, the big hitters from Marvel and DC, this episode's topic is the best comics you've never heard of. So we've dug into our reading histories to find comics that we've loved that there's a good
[00:27:09] Alyosha Samson:
They do speak at length about apparently popular and well known comics in the first 20 or 30 minutes of the show. That excerpt was already towards the second half where they start talking about their their obscure comic preferences. And we're just gonna we're gonna play a couple clips just getting a rough overview of one of these obscure comics that one of the hosts presents to the other one as a hopefully heretofore unheard of comic. If anyone listening is a fan of comics, I know I'm absolutely just I'm I'm just murdering any justice that I could be doing to represent comics and comic passion well.
I have no I've comics isn't my thing. So I I it was a nice show. I like the guys, and I wanna represent a vibe for what they're about. But I I know I'm I know I'm picking the wrong clips here.
[00:28:10] Unknown:
So my pick is not only the best comic you've ever heard of, hands down one of the best comics of all time in my humble opinion. This is a comic called Kain by Paul Grice. Kane with a k. Paul Grice is a British writer and artist from Sheffield. He's mainly known for his other creator owned comics, such as Jack Staff, which is kind of a captain Britain, homage, and homage to, like, classic British adventure comics, and Mudman is like a teenager with
[00:28:52] Alyosha Samson:
With abilities relating to mud. Well, I'm glad that we're gonna be able to get a little glimpse into one of the best comics ever made. Let's go.
[00:29:02] Unknown:
1 of the associates of Oscar Dark is a guy called Jimmy Fix It, who introduces himself with the line, how's about that then? That's not good, Mike. Well, this is the interesting news reading. So obviously, for, younger listeners or non British listeners, this is character clearly based on at the time it was published, generally well received light entertainment, children's TV presenter, top of the pops music show presenter, and all around charity fundraiser, Jimmy Saville, after his death about 10 years ago.
[00:29:44] Alyosha Samson:
Oh, no. Oh, no. I messed myself up with my with my line cast incident. Alright. Let's let's see if we can just resume.
[00:29:53] Unknown:
1 of these, after his death about 10 years ago, he used to feel that he was just an absolutely horrific sex offender predominantly involving children, teenagers.
[00:30:06] Unknown:
Corpses.
[00:30:06] Unknown:
Yes. And but anything. Anyone. Jesus. And although this character isn't that, he's just involved in your run of the mill organized crime. I think it's interesting that clearly Paul Grace had him pegged as a bad and
[00:30:21] Alyosha Samson:
Yeah. And I I my small exposure to comics up until now has supported this idea that some some comic writers can be really, insightful. I mean, what? Fucking delete that. Alright. Let's keep it going. Next clip.
[00:30:41] Unknown:
There's a clear given the time it was published, there's a clear Sin City influencing there. It's black and white artwork set in this fictional city. It follows the police, follows criminals. And it can at times be a serious cop drama, but then it's also a very silly comedy at times. It varies between the 2. It's not as I think I struggle to call it as noir as Sin City is. Certainly not as, visceral as sin city is. But the one of the main reasons it's an absolute classic is, Christ is a master of page composition and graphic invention. There's very little, what I call, storyboarding storytelling.
So square panel by square panel, square panel, square panel. It's like you're watching a TV show.
[00:31:38] Alyosha Samson:
Nice. Okay. Well, that's all I got for give me comics or give me death. There's a comic. It's very good. It's relatively obscure. It has a Sin City vibe. The author is potentially insightful ahead of his time, and the 2 lads on the show like it. Next show. Ah, alright. Where's my line? Where's my line?
[00:32:08] Unknown:
Damn it.
[00:32:09] Alyosha Samson:
What if I just unplug this? Unplug. Replug. Nope. Nope. Alrighty. So let's lean my rod way back and and
[00:32:42] Unknown:
woah.
[00:32:44] Alyosha Samson:
Woah.
[00:32:45] Unknown:
Give me comics or give me death. Okay. This is fucking out of control.
[00:32:50] Alyosha Samson:
Radio Musica Christiana. I'm having major technical issues here, but let's just keep on rolling. So, this one's fun actually. It's a music podcast. I've gotta be a bit picky when music podcasts come along because, you know, it's it's it's its own vibe and it's fantastic and I wanna represent them, but I can't have a list full of radio of music podcasts. But this one was it just I wanna keep this on the short list for when I'm cooking Christmas roast. Just have it playing in the background in the kitchen just creating a vibe. It's Italian.
I don't even speak a word. It appears to be the Vatican radio station. Let me just play. It's immaculate. Just what a pleasure. What an absolute pleasure. I am absolutely keeping this episode in the tank, and I might even keep a tab on Radio Musica Christiana. All one word. All one word. Radio Musica Christiana. Now I have a second clip, just for the the final fade out before we move on to a different kind of show. This is from the very I hope everyone's feeling relaxed, settled, and happy. Devotional. So next podcast is actually, after my little spiel before, is actually another music podcast. I prom I didn't design it to be this way. This is just you cast the line and you get what you get.
We're gonna have to go with a silent line cast this time. And what do we catch?
[00:36:35] Unknown:
Give me comics or give me death.
[00:36:38] Alyosha Samson:
No. Not again. The Uncle Cyrus Show. I really gotta start doing some measure twice cut once out here. The Uncle Cyrus Show. The episode is called Homefront Commando. I'm just gonna play the the open for the show, and then we'll we'll see where we go from there.
[00:37:05] Unknown:

[00:37:09] Unknown:
DJ Milkweed in your area.
[00:37:13] Alyosha Samson:
How hot is hot?
[00:37:18] Unknown:
We are The Siris Show. Everybody says that Cyrus is the one and only. I think we better go have a look for ourselves.
[00:37:26] Unknown:
What's the meet, Papa Cyrus? Hi, Papa Cyrus.
[00:37:36] Alyosha Samson:
Yes. Amongst all this newfangled digital podcasting, we have an old school radio guy. I love it. I love it. Alright. So this guy, he's, I I think he's just sitting there with a pile of records, I think. But he knows what he's doing. He really knows what he's doing. He totally paints a picture of where he's at, which is Israel. He's in Northern Israel. And, let me just keep on clipping, see what he has to say.
[00:38:11] Unknown:
What's crack a lacking out there, Anna Shane? Welcome. You have just tuned in to the Uncle Cyrus Show. And today we are going homefront commando. What the hell are you talking about? Well, let me tell you what that means to you is together we will be militantly free balling into today's show. It is September 15, 2024 and day 345 of our war with Hamas. 144 days since the first rockets were fired here at the Galil by our disgruntled neighbors in the north, the Hezbollah. And as we all know over here the past few days, things have been ramping up. Alarm sound and all over Israel today. Rockets in Tel Aviv as well as all along here in the north.
Oh, hey, Bob. Boys. That's right. I've been woken out of my bed the last few days in the morning, early AM from explosions. From above, they rattle all the windows in my house. The alarms have been sounding, drone infiltrations. I see soldiers popping out everywhere I go. It's a crazy world out there. Put on your seatbelts. Let's go.
[00:39:39] Unknown:
I got a fever, and the only prescription
[00:39:42] Alyosha Samson:
is the whole sirens. Love it, dude. Love it. Alright. This is a music show. I recommend it. I absolutely recommend it. And I have a couple more clips I'm going to play. Now this guy, I don't know. He's he's in the zone. He's playing the Viagra Boys. He's playing King Crew. He's playing The White Stripes. He I'm gonna actually play you an intro to a band and a little bit of a song. I can't I can't do this guy justice. I can't do him justice. I wanna I've gotta represent him on the show. I gotta feature him. He came up. He fit I I caught line on, buddy. I got a line on. The Uncle Cyrus Show. But this guy is just he is so much more achieved, professional, slick, full of Riz than I am. He he is just Riztastic.
Uncle Fucking. I shouldn't have said that. That was bad. That was bad. Let's listen to him introing a band. We're gonna listen to him tell a short story and then let him sign off into the final podcast of the, Alyosha deep sea fishing special. Let's go, Uncle Cyrus.
[00:41:14] Unknown:
Take a little twist, sharp turn, take things up a notch. I got a record queued up from a pioneer and act from Zambia. That's right. This track is called Wale. Now the band's name is W. I. T. W. I. T. Is an acronym standing for WAIFOR because this is a good one. W. I. T. C. H. We intend to cause havoc. Now, released in 1975 as part of their album introduction, this showing showcases the band's signature blend of rock guitar riffs, groovy bass lines, and traditional African percussion. Yeah. That's a thing. Their music has been celebrated for its unique blend of genres and its contribution to the musical landscape of Zambia and beyond.
So we're gonna set the tone once again for a heavy lift off.
[00:42:07] Alyosha Samson:
Nice. Nice. And I'm actually not gonna be playing the songs right now. Just feels like head over to uncle Cyrus' show if you wanna listen to his music selection. It's highly recommended. I love it. I'm so effusive over here about uncle Cyrus' show. Yeah. I'm sorry if it's frustrating. If it is frustrating, I'll I'll play the tunes next time through. But for right now, it's more about getting a a a vibe and insight, people making up their mind as to whether or not they wanna go check out this other show. And, for me and my part, getting through these clips and introing more and more of what's out there is my objective. So as I said, I do have a couple more clips from Uncle Cyrus. Here, he is going to tell a short story about the artist
[00:43:03] Unknown:
of one of the songs he's about to play. I got another interesting artist with a backstory. Now I've played him on this show once before because he's an old dear friend of mine, and he goes by the name of the talented mister Jose Rivas. I met Jose Rivas back in the day, but back then he was a 15 year old French prostitute named Chloe with webbed feet. Now we met barefoot at a bistro for bragabonds and bonded over our love for West Montgomery, big old badunkadunks, and Jack Harrah's gardening tricks. But Chloe fled France at the age of 16 and landed in New York City, changing his name to Jose Rivas because of some mix up with his CVS pharmacy pickup that day. They handed him the wrong bag and he decided to take whatever meds were in there and take the full identity of mister Jose Rivas.
So, no mistakes, remember? Only happy little accidents? So Jose went on to become a puppeteer in the subways of New York City, making all of his puppets from just whittling wood. And from there, he went on to teach himself to make musical instruments out of wood and would pedal them on the subway when he played, which is how the both of us reconnected. He tried selling me a wooden flute that he had carved into the shape of a penis with legs. So I'll let you guess which side he put the blowhole on. Anyway, today's Jose Rivas lives in New York City making his own instruments, but now he has electrified all of them. He makes all musical instruments using nothing but old kitchen appliances.
He sings, he dances, he plays them all himself. He also makes outrageous claims like he invented the question mark. Ladies and gentlemen, without further ado, I present to you the whole bag of Harlem. This is mister Jose Rivas with Andrea
[00:44:55] Unknown:
for the first time.
[00:45:00] Alyosha Samson:
Alright. We're just gonna play a little bit of this song. Okay. Nice. Nice. Jose Rivas. I lived in New York City for just short of a decade, and I can attest that there are Jose Rivas's all over the place, especially up in Harlem. Alright. Let's listen to Cyrus signing off and then move on to the final show of today.
[00:46:03] Unknown:
All the way from the rugged lands to the temple mount. This show has been brought to you by the mighty spiders launching missile crew. You know how we do at your good old funky uncle in interplanetary June. That's right. Our weekly special guest, DJ Milkweed, in your area. And just remember to And just remember to listen to me and not your rabbi because the funky uncle Cyrus show is available wherever you get your podcasts.
[00:46:39] Alyosha Samson:
That's right. Apple, Google, Amazon. Nice. Uncle Cyrus. Okay. Alright. He's a pro. He's a real pro. Alright. Final silent cast of the day. The waters are murky. The mist has settled. It's late. It's late. I cast my cast my net? No. You fucking what do you do? You cast fishing rod? I cast my rod. Well, I draw my rod back. I hurl it forward. The little plumb weight hits the water. The hook descends. I get a wriggle. What do I have? What's online? The Jimmy James Show a to z. The Jimmy James Show a to z. Hello. Hello. Hello.
Alright. Let's see. Let's see. I have a handful of clips from the Jimmy James Show a to z, and I have to warn you. We, we have a touch of the schizophrenia. I'm telling you. This is a skitso show. Jimmy James, I'm just gonna I'm just gonna crank through the clips. I think they're gonna be, to some degree, self explanatory. And to some degree, what what is there even to explain? Listen up. Clip 1.
[00:48:07] Unknown:
The same way we defecate. Hello, Shelly. My name is Nicole. I am here. I am in your, like, at the hotel. I am here strictly to do whatever I have to to seduce you. I will rob you, darling, and make you get so so naked I should really stop smoking. It is not how you say in America. Ouch. Oh.
[00:48:56] Alyosha Samson:
Oh, boy. So we have a French AI cigarette smoking, potentially cancer riddled woman, opening the show.
[00:49:08] Unknown:
Fast forward a good minute or 2, and we have another character. Holy shit. I get a dead prostitute, and I'm strapped to a chair, naked and afraid. This totally beats the show. What the hell? I wonder if I'll get blamed for this. If I do, will I be in prison by tomorrow and be some guy's bitch? Okay.
[00:49:25] Alyosha Samson:
Yep. Alright. This guy does go on to complain about the fact that he's going to be the voice over in a show. But enough of that AI. Let's see if there are any other characters showing face in Jimmy James' universe.
[00:49:39] Unknown:
Another voice began to be heard by people watching this broadcast. And it was not the cameraman, and it was certainly not the TV journalist. It was a woman's voice. And there was no woman anywhere near the shot. And after the fact, the journalist and the cameraman would also attest that there was nobody around. It was just them. But this detached, very pained voice said very clearly, and all these people heard it live,
[00:50:03] Unknown:
this is very painful. Why only me?
[00:50:12] Alyosha Samson:
Don't know about the Japanese. Okay. So we've had a AI French smoking lady. We've had an AI American self aware narrator. We've had a manual recording of the TV. Let's get introduced to Jimmy James himself.
[00:50:29] Unknown:
And if you guys can hear this, just imagine what I can hear. It is now time to explain to people just what's wrong with me.
[00:50:48] Unknown:
A philosophical odyssey rhyming through life's lessons. Canto 1, the spark of curiosity. In realms of thought where wisdom bleems, high pendulous tale chasing sanity's dreams. Nice.
[00:51:01] Alyosha Samson:
Thanks, Jimmy James. This intro comes about halfway through the couple of hours long episode after a bunch of unhinged AI stuff. We'll continue with clip number 5 from the Jimmy James a to z.
[00:51:22] Unknown:
No matter what you do in life, worst case is you try your best. You be yourself, and you do what you can do with compassion, honesty, effort, and understanding, and it goes worst case. And then you move on like everything else.
[00:51:38] Unknown:
That was pursuit of wonder. That was not the full video. I will put the link in the description below. A reason to stop worrying. Watch this whenever you're stressed or anxious.
[00:52:04] Alyosha Samson:
Thanks, Jimmy James. I will. Pursuit of Wanda. I think that's a YouTube video. I think it's a YouTube channel, but that's a nice recommendation from Jimmy. Let's keep going. Clip 6.
[00:52:21] Unknown:
I wanted to do a trailer, so hopefully I have enough here I can cut together into a trailer. Alright. I'll be right back. And, I hope you guys really stay tuned for the show. I think this is gonna be probably one of the best things I put together personally.
[00:52:37] Alyosha Samson:
Oh, we haven't started the show yet. Okay. My mistake. So I think at this point, we're about an hour and a half into the episode. So good to know that the show hasn't started yet. Let's, let's listen for the opening of the show. This is personal stuff that I have not shared. Once again, not shared
[00:52:54] Unknown:
with only but maybe 2 or 3 people. And I have not shared I mean, the whole 9 yards here. I'm not talking about I've done 4 or 5 readings in my life. I might have said that, but I have not shared the whole life part to it yet. And, I actually have a surprise in there, and it also contains Google. So I hope you guys dig around. Contains Google.
[00:53:22] Alyosha Samson:
Well, there's only one way to find out. Let's see. Let's see where and how is Google contained, Jimmy James. Clip 7.
[00:53:33] Unknown:
Alright. We're back. We got about shit. Yeah. I know it's coming out shitty. I don't have still, I'm not. I just I was in and out, actually. Should've told you just the time we went in there, so I knew. It's 3:40 AM. I'm actually gonna be stopping this because I had no idea how long I've been recording. Actually, I do. And you guys are probably, what the hell is he talking about?
[00:53:57] Alyosha Samson:
No. Of course not. Of course, he's not gonna tell us about Google. He goes on an unhinged walk out around, I'm guessing, New York City. I just imagine it to be in New York City. But he's he's recording this podcast live, while walking around town at 3:40 AM. It's a really it's a really unhinged episode, a really unhinged recording. But it there is a there is a philosophical aspect to it. Chaotic, dark, shadowy, but honest, philosophical angle to what's going on. We have so it's 3:40 AM. He appears to be finished with his walkabout. He arrives home.
And before closing out the show, which he's about to do and we're about to do, he has to make a shout out.
[00:54:55] Unknown:
Alright. Before I say anything, I don't have any sponsors for this show, so I'm just gonna go ahead and throw, a couple people up that I know. 1st, I'm gonna hit up Richard Kaufman. Go check him out. He is brilliant. He has a, book out that he he put over 11,000 hours in and signed a copy for me and just mailed it to me for free. Alright? But, I I I wouldn't feel right without at least saying thank you, Richard, for helping me out with the book. At page I'm on page, you know, because I can't just I could read it really quickly, but then that's just not that's not right.
I just start I'm starting to get to page, let's see what you would know. Table of contents, but, like, right past that. Chap chapter 1. What an idiot. I'm not really a book a book reader, so I I mean, I know what chapters are. Just didn't realize I wasn't on the first chapter. See, that's how good his book is.
[00:56:09] Alyosha Samson:
Jimmy James. Jimmy James. Amazing. Okay. So he's giving a shout out to the to this book that he received, and he's read through the table of contents. So, oh, man. I really this guy is something. Something. And on the subject of Jimmy James being something, I'm going to, play the final short clip from the Jimmy James show a to z, which is his sign out sign out his sign out for his show. This is how Jimmy James chooses let let's pause pause for a second. Just take a breath. Take a guess. How's Jimmy James gonna sign off his show? It's late at night. It's probably 4 AM. He's at home, and he's about to finish recording the podcast that he puts out into the world.
Did you guess he takes a piss?

My god. A glorious day. I don't think you guys could hear that, so, I'm gonna go back. I'm actually gonna stop this here. Oh, god. I'm just fucking through it. Yeah.

Always something. There it is. Alright. That was it. That was it. That was Jimmy James, and that was Alyosha's deep sea fishing adventure episode 1 as well. This has been fun. This worked. We're coming up on an hour, which is a nice round number. I if any this is this is this is the first episode. This is 1. This is 0.0.9. This is test episode. Hopefully, my last test episode. I would say this was a success. To clarify, again, what I'm doing here is I'm using the API access. I don't know how to speak API talk, but I'm I'm in podcast index dot org, which is the what's the word?
Begins with r. Repository, which is the repository of all podcasts which do not want to be controlled or cancellable by any centralized institutions, such as Spotify, Apple, YouTube, etcetera. Now in podcast index, I am selecting a narrow time frame from which to fish podcast episodes, which gives me a completely random handful of podcasts which have been released in the last couple of days. These particular podcasts that we just went through were released on November 30th around 6 45 AM. And what I'm gonna be doing is posting a show full of random contents, full of random podcasts published within a day or 2 of my show, and hopefully, we're gonna dig up some gold.
It feels maybe I should just end on that. Hopefully, we're gonna dig up some gold. Until next time.

Suggest that hypnotic techno, particularly its use of polyrhythms, can have a profound effect on the brain. Polyrhythms, multiple rhythms played simultaneously, challenge the brain's natural tendency to process patterns linearly. This results in a shift in neural activity as the brain attempts to synchronize with complex overlapping beats. As the auditory cortex processes these rhythms, brain waves can become entrained at the tempo of the music. This entrainment often leads to increased alpha and theta wave activity associated with relaxed and meditative states. In some cases, polyrhythmic with relaxed and meditative states. In some cases, polyrhythmic patterns could also stimulate gamma waves linked to heightened focus and cognitive function. The repetitive and evolving nature of hypnotic techno can promote a state of flow, specifically during meditation, where the brain bypasses routine conscious thought inducing a trance like experience.
This effect may trigger the release of dopamine enhancing both mood and motivation while reducing stress and anxiety. Thus, the rhythmic complexity of this genre not only engages the auditory pathways, but also encourages a meditative and euphoric mental state. Stay. Stay. Stay. Stay. Stay. Stay. Stay.
