Let It Bleed

What a long, strange, and beautiful road it's been since we started this show. Unfortunately, this will be the last you hear from us for a while. Join us one more time to look back on the fun we've had, the lessons learned, and what the future holds!

We are taking another swing at dismantling the myths and conspiracies of America 2020 this week while trying to provide some guidance on what can be done about it.

This week, we discuss the skyrocketing cases in LA and Orange County (including the residents of Casa de Amaya), the unceasing brutality of the state against it's people, and the totalitarian take over of the United States (and the people resisting them successfully!)

"We're back this week to talk about butt health, crumbling conspiracy theory cults, and discuss the roles we should (and shouldn't) play in the ongoing BLM protests.

This week we're focusing on the global protests against the systemic injustice in America. Support the Los Angeles efforts with your donations here: https://www.gofundme.com/f/peoples-city-council-ticket-fund?fbclid=IwAR3rKUkEse3WsJmK1JSa940xIbypwJ3CKUAlYhnE0nicoin4l9B6HQ0Pf7w

In this week's high-brow entry, we discuss going hiking, the Tony Hawk reboot, and we get trapped in the spaghetti of overlapping conspiracies dominating the darker parts of Facebook.

In this extra medium half episode we do our best to untangle misinformation on covid conspiracies, aliens, and Nicolas Cage!

This week we're joined by the incomporable Eddie Solis! He made us a Let it Bleed drinking game so feel free to play along as we dive into the eclectic inspiration for his music, live streaming, and aliens!

We went back to our roots with yogi, performer, and environmentalist Kim Abels this week to talk Burning Man's cancellation, getting sober, and the value of slowing the fuck down! You can satisfy all your remote yoga woes at her site http://www.yogieyes.com/ and through Sutra (@appsutra). Keep an eye out for her next project, "Social Distance Central" and for the latest on that you can find her on Instagram (@kim_abels) and (@cam_e_lion_)

This week we try to leave the bad news at the door and focus on the fun parts of our new normal like state-sanctioned 3-stooges violence to keep people indoors, people unionizing across all sectors of society, crystal meth, and tigers! Stay safe! Stay home! And wash your fuckin hands!

Well...that escalated quickly. It wasn't the 100th Episode we originally envisioned, but this week we talked about the latest Covid-19 developments, what might be coming next, and what we should be doing to stay sane/prepare for whatever the future holds. We were testing some new ways to make the show so please excuse the audio quality. No plugs this week other than a reminder to take care of yourselves out there. We'll get through this!

It's a special Corona Virus call to action this week where we break down what we need to do to mitigate the impact on our communities, what that impact could look like, and try to give our most realistic analysis of what's to come. Practice social distancing, prepare for disruption in your daily life, and WASH YOUR FUCKING HANDS FOR 20 SECONDS! Stay tuned, but we are likely looking at cancellations of all major gatherings in the country so the plugs are a little light.

In our first show back from hiatus we deal with the gut punch of a revived Joe Biden campaign in real time, reflect on Dave's sobriety super powers, and tell the complacency fairies whispering in our ear to go fuck themselves!The trippiest desert party this side of the Mississippi, Lost in the Sauce 2020, early bird tickets are on sale now!

Fun stuff!

Apologies for the first 9 minutes of audio this week! If you can't stand it please skip ahead until then where the audio comes back for normal. To catch you up to that point, we were talking about the history of Russia as well as the post-Civil War era of reconstruction which of course led to a discussion about how to engage with folks that see no problem with the President whipping a crowd into a racist frenzy towards a sitting member of Congress and capped off with a fun story about the time that Pepsi owned the 6th largest Navy in the world.Clear your schedule this weekend!

We sat down with the artisan arbitrager and all around go-getter Mr. Laurence Gonzales this week to talk about putting your passions to use in whatever field you can make work for you, being an artist, and the value of just doing "that thing" (whatever that may be to you)

It's a fun romp through the apocalypse this week as we discuss the man who set himself on fire at the White House (and the shits nobody gave), UFOs being proven to exist (and the shits nobody gave), and the terrifying technology being made with potentially disastrous consequences (and the shits their inventors didn't give). Don't worry! We finished off with a nice palate cleanser of a discussion (Abortion!) Don't miss Art in the Park coming up Sunday June 23rd!

"We swear to never talk about Game of Thrones again after this, but we gathered enough loose ends to make a sweater. We rounded out this week talking about Barry's Anthony Carrigan (The Good), Ben Carson (The Bad), and "It's Bruno" (The Ugly) If you missed last week's Art in the Park, don't worry! It was moved to this week due to rain! See you there!"

With Amaya in quarantine this week, we pulled off our first remote episode (Me in the studio, him in the Lions Den) that didn't sound like one of us was screaming into a robot's butt hole the entire time!  Speaking of robot butt holes, we gushed over Netflix's Love, Death, & Robots as well as the Rodriguez documentary "Searching for Sugar Man" (Spoiler alerts on the 2nd one).  Finally, we covered the news were all numb to including the ongoing White House security clearance scandal, Jussie Smollett's questionable exoneration, and the PR pig fuck that was the 4 page summary of the Mueller report (And how jaw-droppingly wrong most of the media has been covering this story) Don't miss out on the Lost in the Sauce Pre-Party this Saturday at The Epic Lounge in Downey (http://ow.ly/mA8T30okyhD)  and the next episode of Mutate LA at Catch 1 [formerly Union Night Club] on Saturday, April 13th (http://ow.ly/FzaG30okyie)

After some time off we jumped in the studio this week to catch up on what we've been up to over the break and talk about all of the somehow still stunning things going on in the world this week that everyone is understandably exhausted by. From the real predators in Neverland, Mar a Lago, & Chicago (Plus 1 fake one, looking at you Jussie Smollett) to the horrifying implications of David Wallace Wells' new book on how we've drastically understated how bad and how quick climate change will hit (spoiler: in our lifetime and brutally), we covered all the feel-good stuff! As a palette cleanser, we also got each other caught up on our favorite Movies/TV of the week including Thunder Road, Black Monday, Fleabag, SMILF, Man like Mobeen, and I'm Sorry!

We're back from hiatus with a bang!  We brought the oh so caffeinated Blair McGloiry aka Zimbu into the studio this week for one of the most Let it Bleed episodes of Let it Bleed we've ever done!  He gave us a crash course in Kendama, explained how deciding to do yes led to his success, and we came to the conclusion that Alex Jones is, in fact, a wook.  You can check out his music on SoundCloud and Spotify at ZimbuMusic or follow him on Instagram (@ZimbuMusic) and Facebook (@BeeZimbu), but whatever you do don't miss him at Reflections this Saturday March 9th in Fullerton!  Check out the event on Facebook for tickets in this link I don't feel like shortening: https://www.facebook.com/events/310199249617001/ PS: I spent a long time trying to figure out fix whatever the fuck I did to make the pitch of everyone's voice go down until I said, "Fuck it, close enough."  We'll try not to sound like demons next week.  -Phil

We're joined by longtime friend and co-worker of David's Kareena Leuta this week to talk about the empathy that comes from working in the service industry, get to the bottom of who the fuck would actually leave a Yelp review for McDonald's, the legality of crack heads sucker punching Disneyland employees, and copyright law!
