Podcasts about cuckoo's nest

The Scariest Movie EVER Made? Well upon its initial release forty-five years ago, not many critics saw it that way INCLUDING the author of the original novel which this film was based on, Stephen King.  But over time, this psychological thriller directed by the late, great Stanley Kubrick (2001: A Space Odyssey, A Clockwork Orange, Eyes Wide Shut) has garnerned not only a devoted following but a never-ending stream of speculation about what it meant.  Many love it for the memorable main lead performance by Oscar-winner Jack Nicholson (Chinatown, One Flew Over the Cuckoos Nest, Batman)  as Jack Torrance, an aspiring writer whose family ends up situated at a VERY remote location known as the Overlook Hotel....he's an aspiring writer but as the winter progresses, he starts to lose his mind.  Also with him are his beleaguered wife Wendy played by the late, great Shelley Duvall (Popeye, 3 Women, Roxanne) and their young son Danny (Danny Lloyd) who has begun to experience a sort of psychic power known as.....THE SHINING. :o Also co-starring Scatman Crothers, Joe Turkel, and Barry Nelson, this horror classic has launched spin-off documentaries, weak imitations, and loads of memes - let's head to the Overlook Hotel! Host & Editor: Geoff GershonEditor: Ella GershonProducer: Marlene GershonSend us a texthttps://livingforthecinema.com/Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/Living-for-the-Cinema-Podcast-101167838847578Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/livingforthecinema/Letterboxd:https://letterboxd.com/Living4Cinema/

Denver-based punk group Dead Pioneers recently released their second album, PO$T AMERICAN, on Hassle Records. They’ve been opening for Pearl Jam on their U.S. tour this spring. KEXP’s Dusty Henry caught up with lead vocalist Gregg Deal to discuss the band’s rapid success, how their new album portrays disillusionment with modern America, and how the band reclaims and recontextualizes Indigenous representation seen in media – from Dances with Wolves through One Flew Over the Cuckoos Nest. In a divided moment in history, PO$T AMERICAN feels perfectly timed for imperfect times. “I know that there are different mediums out there that exist to create places of safety and understanding and articulation of frustration,” Deal says in the interview. “I know music is one of those places, I know art is one of those places, and I am grateful to have any part in either of those things.” Support the show: kexp.org/deeper Photo by Carlos CruzSupport the show: https://www.kexp.org/sound/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

One Flew Over The Cuckoos Nest by Ken Kesey Part 4 chapter 4, narrated by Isaac BirchallThe Nurse is livid! The Night Aide in a cupboard, a Woman smuggled in, pills all over the floor, and the Nurse's files all over the floor. McMurphy looks like he is sick, and even when The Nurse leaves to call the main building, McMurphy claims that he is too sick and hungover to escape, so he just closes his eyes and feigns sleep. Harding however isn't going to accept this, and tries even harder to convince McMurphy to leave, but this is in vain. The Aides eventually take a roll call, and suddenly everyone remembers where Billy Bibbit is hiding. The nurse is angrier than ever and she and the aides go door to door on the ward looking for him. After going to nearly every room, only the seclusion room is left, with all of the patients following. The door is swung open, and Billy and the Girl are thrown into light. When the nurse reacts, it seems as though his stutter has fully disappeared; he gives very quick responses and talks like he has never stuttered in his life. Candy is looking for her clothes, but the nurse pays her very little attention; her eyes are fixed on Billy. He eventually stands up straight, and the Nurse launches into her attack. She tells Billy she is disappointed in him, but that his mother will be even more upset than she is. This breaks Billy, his stutter returning instantly with tears streaming down his face. After Billy's break down, she takes him to the Doctor's office where he can calm down, away from the people who tricked him.Police and all sorts of people turn up to write down what happened the previous night, and when the Doctor finally turns up, The Nurse talks him through the events of the evening, finally telling him about Billy. The Doctor goes right to there, and is greeted with horror, screaming out for the Nurse. Everyone on the Ward knows what has happened…When the Nurse come back, she lays into McMurphy, telling him exactly what Billy did, and how it is McMurphy's fault. “First Charles Cheswick, and now William Bibbit, I hope that you are finally satisfied.” She leaves him in the day room and heads to the Nurses station and McMurphy follows. Harding, the Chief, Sefelt, Martini, everyone knows that they cannot stop him, because they were the ones that had been forcing him to do it this whole time… He lunges for the Nurse through her glass window and makes his final attack, removing the Nurse, for a time, from the ward. When she comes back, she decides to stop McMurphy for good…Subscribe to theshow ⁠https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/the-essential-reads/subscribe⁠Get SurfShark andprotect yourself online today VPN: ⁠⁠https://get.surfshark.net/aff_c?offer_id=926&aff_id=20389⁠⁠ Antivirus: ⁠⁠https://get.surfshark.net/aff_c?offer_id=934&aff_id=20389⁠⁠ Get data brokers tostop selling your information with: Incogni: ⁠⁠https://get.incogni.io/aff_c?offer_id=1219&aff_id=20389⁠⁠ *COMIC* By @Valenangelr ⁠https://www.inSupport the showThank you so much for listening, if you want to support the me go to any of these links :)*Social*SHOPIFY: https://the-essential-reads.myshopify.com/INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/theessentialreadsTWITTER: http://twitter.com/isaacbirchall98Ko-Fi: https://ko-fi.com/theessentialreads

One Flew Over The Cuckoos Nest by Ken Kesey Part 4 chapter 3, narrated by Isaac BirchallThe Chief, for the first time ever is able to shake off the fog after his shock therapy in less than a day. McMurphy was given another 3 shocks because he still refuses to apologise to Nurse Ratched. He says to Chief that the shocks are doing nothing more than charging up his battery, but Chief Bromden sees through his tough-guy guise. Chief Bromden is lead away from disturbed ward back to his usual one, and everyone turns to greet him at the door, like he was a celebrity. There have been rumours that McMurphy has been shrugging off all of the EST's he has been given, and the patients are glued to every word that Chief Bromden is saying. The following day, Nurse Ratched brings up how McMurphy is reacting to EST, and suggests that more serious methods must be used. She also realises that while McMurphy is off the ward, he can become a heroic legend, that will never die. Some of the guys realise that as soon as he is back on the ward, Nurse Ratched will shock McMurphy every time he comes out of his stupor, so they plan for him to escape the ward; the plan is a no go however, because it is the day that Candy is supposed to sneak back on the ward to have a date with Billy Bibbit.There is another meeting in the day, and the Nurse suggests to the Doctor that McMurphy should be subject to a more serious treatment. McMurphy joins in on this and says that maybe they should increase the voltage so that he can become electric. The Big Nurse corrects McMurphy however, saying that she means to give him a lobotomy… After the meeting McMurphy goes with Billy Bibbit to plan out the evenings “Activities.” The Chief then goes on to explain Billy's situation. He is actually not a young kid, and is in his early 30's. He has been subjected to a overly protective and deluded mother, who believes it impossible for Billy to be as old as he claims. He would probably be fine if he could get away from his mother and just live as a normal adult… It's tragic.As the evening progresses, the men start to get the feeling that Candy isn't coming, but after turning all of the lights on to try and let Candy know where the men are, they hear a faint tapping on the day room window; it's Candy, and she has brought along Sandy, the girl who bailed on the fishing trip, along too.

One Flew Over The Cuckoos Nest by Ken Kesey Part 4 chapter 2, narrated by Isaac BirchallMcMurphy and Chief Bromden have been sent up to the disturbed ward, the are crazed men all over the place, and there are mutterings and gnashing of teeth whispering all around. In the Day room on disturbed, McMurphy tries to establish himself as Top Dog, but it's different up there, and the straight jackets don't really help. McMurphy starts telling the men about the fight with the Aides, but as time goes on their wounds start to hurt more and more. They are eventually taken into the nurse's ward, and it feel strange for the two to be treated with respect and care. The nurse asks who attacked them, and after they answer, she tells them that she feels that War Nurses shouldn't be able to reign supreme over their wards; they want to run them like war hospitals. Then then goes on to say that both McMurphy and Chief Bromden won't be staying too long, Nurse Ratched will determine the length of their stay. There is a huge alarm that sounds in the morning to wake the patients, and McMurphy and Bromden are called to the nurse's station. When they get there, they are given 3 sedative pills. Both the men refuse their tablets. After a couple of minutes or so, the Big Nurse and the 2 Aides that were beaten up arrive, and Nurse Ratched tells McMurphy that she has decided that he should be Subject to Electro-Shock Therapy, unless he could apologise for what he did. McMurphy starts making jokes about what the nurse is asking him to do. Both McMurphy and Bromden are led over to the EST room, and there is a sound behind the door like a swarm of bees taking off. They are led into the room and McMurphy can see that Chief Bromden is afraid, so he offers to get shocked first, laying on the cross shaped table, and wearing a crown of silver thorns. SHOCK… Then it is the chief's turn…Subscribe to theshow ⁠https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/the-essential-reads/subscribe⁠Get SurfShark andprotect yourself online today VPN: ⁠⁠https://get.surfshark.net/aff_c?offer_id=926&aff_id=20389⁠⁠ Antivirus: ⁠⁠https://get.surfshark.net/aff_c?offer_id=934&aff_id=20389⁠⁠ Get data brokers tostop selling your information with: Incogni: ⁠⁠https://get.incogni.io/aff_c?offer_id=1219&aff_id=20389⁠⁠ *COMIC* By @Valenangelr ⁠https://www.instagram.com/valenangelr⁠ *SOCIAL*INSTAGRAM: ⁠https://www.instagram.com/theessentialreads⁠ TWITTER: ⁠http://twitter.com/isaacbirchall98⁠ KO-Fi: ⁠https://ko-fi.com/theessentialreads⁠ STORE: ⁠https://the-essential-reads.myshopify.com/⁠Support the showThank you so much for listening, if you want to support the me go to any of these links :)*Social*SHOPIFY: https://the-essential-reads.myshopify.com/INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/theessentialreadsTWITTER: http://twitter.com/isaacbirchall98Ko-Fi: https://ko-fi.com/theessentialreads

One Flew Over The Cuckoos Nest by Ken Kesey Part 4 chapter 1, narrated by Isaac BirchallThe nurse has planned her revenge of McMurphy, and she very slowly starts to spread the seed of doubt and mistrust amongst the patients. She wants them to start wondering “What is in it for him? Why does he do all of this stuff for me?” She starts by sticking the bank statements of all of the inmates onto the wall, and this gets all of the men wondering more and more why he does sorts of things. She then tries to bring up in the meeting everybody's opinions on McMurphy, but because he was present, her attack didn't get off to a start. So, she decides that the best way forward is to make sure that he isn't there for the next meeting. She starts probing at the men, asking them about him, and eventually the men come around to having doubting thoughts about their “hero;” the only person to try and defend McMurphy is Billy Bibbit. The Nuse goes on to list off all of the things that McMurphy has “given” to the group, pointing out that Mac hasn't put up any collateral for his bets, as opposed to everyone else. Later in the day, the patients go on to say that while they don't agree with what the big nurse was saying, it is hard to argue that McMurphy hasn't made a profit off of them. Harding then pipes up and asks what the problem is. Even if what the nurse said is correct, what is the problem with it. Billy however isn't in agreement with Harding until later in the day, when McMurphy tries to convince him to spend some money on him and Candy.Chief and McMurphy are taking the tables into the Tub Room for the meeting, and he manages to convince Chief to try and lift the huge panel, and though it seems almost impossible, the chief is able to lift it. Then after the meeting, McMurphy manages to make a bet with the men that the chief could lift the panel, so all of them gather around the panel and watch the chief lift it, losing all of their cash. The Chief feels like he has been used and runs away from McMurphy and the other guy.The patients that went on the fishing trip have been ordered to take disinfection showers, and they are forced to take degrading showers while the Aides spray them down with power hoses and soap. When the Aides get to George, they take it too far, spraying him all over as hard as they can. At this, McMurphy snaps, and launches into an attack on the Aides…Subscribe to theshow ⁠https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/the-essential-reads/subscribe⁠Get SurfShark andprotect yourself online today VPN: ⁠⁠https://get.surfshark.net/aff_c?offer_id=926&aff_id=20389⁠⁠ Antivirus: ⁠⁠https://get.surfshark.net/aff_c?offer_id=934&aff_id=20389⁠⁠ Get data brokers tostop selling your information with: Incogni: ⁠⁠https://get.incogni.io/aff_c?offer_id=1219&aff_id=20389⁠⁠ *COMIC* By @Valenangelr ⁠https://www.instagram.com/valenangelr⁠ *SOCIAL*INSTAGRAM: ⁠https://www.instagram.coSupport the showThank you so much for listening, if you want to support the me go to any of these links :)*Social*SHOPIFY: https://the-essential-reads.myshopify.com/INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/theessentialreadsTWITTER: http://twitter.com/isaacbirchall98Ko-Fi: https://ko-fi.com/theessentialreads

One Flew Over The Cuckoos Nest Part by Ken Kesey 3 chapter 3, narrated by Isaac BirchallThe Men get to the dock, and they are all getting excited, there is a problem however. The girl Sandy, who didn't show up, was the one who had the waver, so the captain is refusing to let the men get onto the ship they rented. The other ship hands on the boat take a look at the group of patients, and eventually notice Candy and start jeering at her. McMurphy offers to call the proper authorities from the boat house to sort the situation out, and both he and the captain head in to make the call, leaving the patients, the doctor, and Candy out by themselves. The Boat Hands' heckling gets more aggressive towards Candy, but the men have lost their swagger now that McMurphy has gone away. All of the men feel a huge wave of guilt wash over them, and Candy walks as far away from the group as possible. McMurphy comes out of the boat house very quickly and tells the men to get into the boat while the captain finalises the details on the phone. He calls to George to stat the engine, while McMurphy starts to untie the ropes. As soon as the boat is ready to set off, the door of the bait shop slams open and the captain steams out towards the boat. McMurphy is stealing the boat…The men set out to sea, and McMurphy and Candy head inside the boat to “check for leaks.” After the men get past the jetty, a wave of calm passes over Chief Bromden, and after a mile or so, the men start to set out their fishing lines. George pushes the boat out to sea “where the real fish are,” and after an hour Sefelt's fishing pole starts to pull. The men weren't all planning on fishing, but after seeing Sefelt's line snap, all of the men want to have a go. The men have the most fun that they have had in years, and everyone but the Doctor has caught a fish, but he has been fighting with one for what seems like hours. It's a giant Flounder, and it's going to require all of the men to help bring it in.The men eventually start to head back to shore, and once in, they have a brief fight with the sea captain, but eventually the tension fades, and they all sit around drinking and telling stories until it is time to head back to the hospital… Subscribe to theshow ⁠https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/the-essential-reads/subscribe⁠Get SurfShark andprotect yourself online today VPN: ⁠⁠https://get.surfshark.net/aff_c?offer_id=926&aff_id=20389⁠⁠ Antivirus: ⁠⁠https://get.surfshark.net/aff_c?offer_id=934&aff_id=20389⁠⁠ Get data brokers tostop selling your information with: Incogni: ⁠⁠https://get.incogni.io/aff_c?offer_id=1219&aff_id=20389⁠⁠ *COMIC* By @Valenangelr ⁠https://www.instagram.com/valenangelr⁠ *SOCIAL*INSTAGRAM: ⁠https://www.instagram.com/theessentialreads⁠ TWITTER: ⁠http://twitter.com/isaacbirchall98⁠ KO-Fi: Support the showThank you so much for listening, if you want to support the me go to any of these links :)*Social*SHOPIFY: https://the-essential-reads.myshopify.com/INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/theessentialreadsTWITTER: http://twitter.com/isaacbirchall98Ko-Fi: https://ko-fi.com/theessentialreads

One Flew Over The Cuckoos Nest by Ken Kesey Part 3 chapter 2, narrated by Isaac BirchallWhen Bromden awakes, he runs out of bed to have a look at the signup sheet to see if McMurphy had really added his name to the list. In the dorm, McMurphy is trying to rouse everyone, telling them to take note of the chief, out of bed and getting everything ready. When they go to the mess hall, they still need another person for the trip and after a few minutes the last person comes forward. George, who the aides call “Rub-a-dub” comes to McMurphy and tries to give him some tips of deep-sea fishing, mentioning that he has spent a lot of time on ships and McMurphy suggests that he joins them, and because he has so much knowledge, even suggests that he be their captain. As the morning goes on, the “Aunts” show up, or only 1 does… a girl called Candy, and she tells McMurphy that the other girl “Sandy” isn't going to come because she has gotten married. This means that the trip is off; there is no way that 10 guys can fit into 1 car. McMurphy needs to find a solution, and as the Doctor comes into the day room, McMurphy has found his mark. Somehow, McMurphy manages to not only convince the Doctor that he should come on the trip but gets him excited about it. The men and Candy all head out into the car park, pile into their cars, and set off on their adventure, the first time many of the patients have been outside of the ward since they entered it. The men get started off and pull into a gas station to fill up before the journey. The Doctor handles all of the transaction, but slowly, McMurphy gets the idea that the attendants are trying to scam the cowardly Doctor, and he looks to intervene. McMurphy pulls down the roof of the convertible, and yells his head off at the attendant, warning him that all of the people in the car are lunatics who are ready to attack at the drop of a hat. This bolsters the confidence of the men, and as they set off they are confidently jesting and gibing at each other, and McMurphy starts to feel like the boys are starting to heal a little.

One Flew Over The Cuckoos Nest by Ken Kesey Part 3 chapter 1, narrated by Isaac BirchallThe Nurse is planning her revenge after McMurphy broke the window, she knows that she has all the time in the world. McMurphy, following his victory, has come back into full swing. He managed to convince the doctor to allow the men to form a basketball team, and he makes sure to be as vocal as possible in all of the meetings. Since the breaking of the window, the aides added a sheet of cardboard to cover the hole but the nurse just sits there behind the cardboard like it wasn't there at all. McMurphy and the Nurse though are waiting to see who will crack first, they are speaking in the politest way to each other, and McMurphy has finally had enough time on the ward to request an accompanied absence on the ward. The new window has been installed, and the moment that the nurse tells McMurphy that his request has been denied, he breaks the new one, claiming that he never saw them put it in. The men organise a basketball game, and two of the Aides play for the other team and in a scramble for the ball, McMurphy cracks one of them as hard as he can in the nose with his elbow. After seeing McMurphy get more and more confident in his defiance of the Nurse, the other men start to get confident also, and they try and test their limit with the nurse as well. Eventually the basketball breaks, and McMurphy decides that it is time to go fishing instead, and for some reason, McMurphy's request to take the other patients on a fishing trip is approved. The Big Nurse tries to convince the other patients that the seas are going to be very rough but some of the patients sign up, nonetheless. The day before the trip, McMurphy still needs 2 more men to sign up. The Chief wants to sign up, but not only does he not have enough money to chip in for the boat, if he were to sign up, then everyone would know that he could hear, and has been hearing everything. The chief starts to think back to when he first realised that people treated him like he was deaf.Subscribe to theshow ⁠https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/the-essential-reads/subscribe⁠Get SurfShark andprotect yourself online today VPN: ⁠⁠https://get.surfshark.net/aff_c?offer_id=926&aff_id=20389⁠⁠ Antivirus: ⁠⁠https://get.surfshark.net/aff_c?offer_id=934&aff_id=20389⁠⁠ Get data brokers tostop selling your information with: Incogni: ⁠⁠https://get.incogni.io/aff_c?offer_id=1219&aff_id=20389⁠⁠ *COMIC* By @Valenangelr ⁠https://www.instagram.com/valenangelr⁠ *SOCIAL*INSTAGRAM: ⁠https://www.instagram.com/theessentialreads⁠ TWITTER: ⁠http://twitter.com/isaacbirchall98⁠ KO-Fi: ⁠https://ko-fi.com/theessentialreads⁠ STORE: ⁠https://the-essential-reads.myshopify.com/⁠Support the showThank you so much for listening, if you want to support the me go to any of these links :)*Social*SHOPIFY: https://the-essential-reads.myshopify.com/INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/theessentialreadsTWITTER: http://twitter.com/isaacbirchall98Ko-Fi: https://ko-fi.com/theessentialreads

One Flew Over The Cuckoos Nest by Ken Kesey Part 2 chapter 7, narrated by Isaac BirchallThe boys are walking back from Ward 1, and Chief Bromden wants to talk to McMurphy, he wants to tell him that he shouldn't worry about all the things on his mind but just before he opens his mouth, McMurphy runs up ahead to ask one of the Aides to stop by the Canteen. The chief starts to get a ringing in his ears, like everything is sharp and clear, but like something is going to happen. In the meeting that afternoon, the Big Nurse is testing Sefelt, and he is raging about the medications that he has to take. McMurphy is strangely sitting upright and attentive, watching everything that is going on in the room. This causes the chief's ringing to get louder, and he starts to grip down on his chair as hard as possible. At the end of the meeting, the nurse looks over at McMurphy, and putting on a sad face, she tells the men that she is going to take away their access to the Tub Room as punishment for the house duties being avoided so that they can watch baseball…Subscribe to theshow ⁠https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/the-essential-reads/subscribe⁠Get SurfShark andprotect yourself online today VPN: ⁠⁠https://get.surfshark.net/aff_c?offer_id=926&aff_id=20389⁠⁠ Antivirus: ⁠⁠https://get.surfshark.net/aff_c?offer_id=934&aff_id=20389⁠⁠ Get data brokers tostop selling your information with: Incogni: ⁠⁠https://get.incogni.io/aff_c?offer_id=1219&aff_id=20389⁠⁠ *COMIC* By @Valenangelr ⁠https://www.instagram.com/valenangelr⁠ *SOCIAL*INSTAGRAM: ⁠https://www.instagram.com/theessentialreads⁠ TWITTER: ⁠http://twitter.com/isaacbirchall98⁠ KO-Fi: ⁠https://ko-fi.com/theessentialreads⁠ STORE: ⁠https://the-essential-reads.myshopify.com/⁠Support the showThank you so much for listening, if you want to support the me go to any of these links :)*Social*SHOPIFY: https://the-essential-reads.myshopify.com/INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/theessentialreadsTWITTER: http://twitter.com/isaacbirchall98Ko-Fi: https://ko-fi.com/theessentialreads

One Flew Over The Cuckoos Nest by Ken Kesey Part 2 chapter 6, narrated by Isaac BirchallThe men are leaded over to building 1 where they are going to all be x-rayed. Across from the men is the large metal riveted door where EST is performed. There is screaming coming from the inside, and Chief Bromden is gripping onto the bench harder than ever. McMurphy pipes up and asks Harding what is happening in that room, Harding tells him that they are being given a trip to the moon that is paid for with Brain Cells instead of Money. Harding tells McMurphy the history of EST and tells him that it isn't just used to scare and hurt patients, it is a real form of therapy that has been used to cure plenty of patients over the years. McMurphy isn't sure about this and likens it to the death penalty, and Harding half agrees with him, saying that EST changes you; no one is ever the same after EST, and no one ever wants another one. McMurphy then states that he doesn't really understand what is going on in the ward. He then asks Harding about Lobotomies, and Harding informs him that though the nurse legally cannot decide what happens to patients, she is the one who has the final say on all punishments. McMurphy then goes to say that he thinks that just getting rid of the nurse probably wouldn't change too much but he can't fully explain it. Chief wants to go and tell McMurphy that he is onto it, that he has understood what Chief put together long ago, but he cannot speak, not when everyone thinks him to be deaf and dumb. After some more back and forth between the guys, McMurphy finally tells the guys that he is fed up with them pushing him to bug the nurse, and Harding's only excuse is that he forgot that McMurphy was committed. McMurphy since decided that he is just going to play it safe to guarantee that he gets released in a timely manner. Harding agrees with McMurphy, but also tells him that McMurphy is risking far more than the other patients, he tells him that McMurphy is one of the very few patients that is committed; the rest are voluntary patients. This makes McMurphy lose his head!Subscribe to the show ⁠https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/the-essential-reads/subscribe⁠Get SurfShark and protect yourself online today VPN: ⁠⁠https://get.surfshark.net/aff_c?offer_id=926&aff_id=20389⁠⁠ Antivirus: ⁠⁠https://get.surfshark.net/aff_c?offer_id=934&aff_id=20389⁠⁠ Get data brokers to stop selling your information with: Incogni: ⁠⁠https://get.incogni.io/aff_c?offer_id=1219&aff_id=20389⁠⁠ *COMIC* By @Valenangelr ⁠https://www.instagram.com/valenangelr⁠ *SOCIAL*INSTAGRAM: ⁠https://www.instagram.com/theessentialreads⁠ TWITTER: ⁠http://twitter.com/isaacbirchall98⁠ KO-Fi: ⁠https://ko-fi.com/theessentialreads⁠ STORE: ⁠https://Support the showThank you so much for listening, if you want to support the me go to any of these links :)*Social*SHOPIFY: https://the-essential-reads.myshopify.com/INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/theessentialreadsTWITTER: http://twitter.com/isaacbirchall98Ko-Fi: https://ko-fi.com/theessentialreads

One Flew Over The Cuckoos Nest by Ken Kesey Part 2 chapter 5, narrated by Isaac BirchallThe Men are taken to the library, and Chief Bromden is distracted by the mechanical engineering books on the shelves, reminding him of his years in college. After a few minutes however the door opens, and one of the Aides escorts in Harding's wife. Harding invites McMurphy over to meet her, introducing her as his “nemesis”. McMurphy swaggers over and Harding starts to tell his wife about how McMurphy had a victory over the nurse, but as he gets excited his hands start to dance in front of him. His wife makes a harsh comment about his laugh and Harding seems to shy away into himself. She then asks him for a smoke, and Harding refuses, claiming that the rationing of the boxes by the nurse has made chivalry impossible. Harding then starts to correct his wife on her grammar, and she gets very frustrated at this claiming, and starts talking about Harding's friends that keep dropping in to see if he is free. Harding retorts, asking if they are “really” there for him or if they are there for her. She gets up and leaves rather abruptly. Harding then asks McMurphy what he thought of her, and McMurphy blows up at Harding, claiming that everyone is trying to get his goat.Subscribe to the show ⁠https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/the-essential-reads/subscribe⁠Get SurfShark and protect yourself online today VPN: ⁠⁠https://get.surfshark.net/aff_c?offer_id=926&aff_id=20389⁠⁠ Antivirus: ⁠⁠https://get.surfshark.net/aff_c?offer_id=934&aff_id=20389⁠⁠ Get data brokers to stop selling your information with: Incogni: ⁠⁠https://get.incogni.io/aff_c?offer_id=1219&aff_id=20389⁠⁠ *COMIC* By @Valenangelr ⁠https://www.instagram.com/valenangelr⁠ *SOCIAL*INSTAGRAM: ⁠https://www.instagram.com/theessentialreads⁠ TWITTER: ⁠http://twitter.com/isaacbirchall98⁠ KO-Fi: ⁠https://ko-fi.com/theessentialreads⁠ STORE: ⁠https://the-essential-reads.myshopify.com/⁠Support the showThank you so much for listening, if you want to support the me go to any of these links :)*Social*SHOPIFY: https://the-essential-reads.myshopify.com/INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/theessentialreadsTWITTER: http://twitter.com/isaacbirchall98Ko-Fi: https://ko-fi.com/theessentialreads

One Flew Over The Cuckoos Nest by Ken Kesey Part 2 chapter 4, narrated by Isaac BirchallSefelt falls in the Mess Hall and starts to convulse with his seizure, and everyone jumps in to try and help him, but the Aides beat off all of the other patients. The Big Nurse eventually arrives and questions them as to who has fallen, and again asks if this is the patient that claims he doesn't need any more medication. The Big Nurse is surprisingly sympathetic, claiming that she warned Sefelt that if he didn't take his medication then his seizures would get worse and worse. Fredrickson comes forward and tries to tell the nurse the reason behind the Sefelt's refusal to take his medication, and she keeps her face so sympathetic and kind that it shuts Fredrickson down as quickly as he started.

One Flew Over The Cuckoos Nest by Ken Kesey Part 2 chapter 3, narrated by Isaac BirchallThe guys are getting more confident since McMurphy's victory over the nurse. They are bringing up every gripe that they have ever felt in the ward. They start to question the stupidity of all of the rules and start to take them literally; if you cannot be alone by yourself, then supposedly you have to take 7 other guys with you to the bathroom as well. The men then bring up the confiscation of their smokes, and the Doctor and Big Nurse have a small spat over it. McMurphy is feeling at the top until they take a trip to the pool. McMurphy is relaxing on the side of the pool and talking with one of the patients who is acting as “Lifeguard” and is arguing about how McMurphy believes that the hospital is far better than the work camp. The lifeguard replies “well at least when you are convicted of a crime you have a release date.” McMurphy didn't know about this, he thought that if he was sentenced to 4 months in a work camp, then he would also spend 4 months in the hospital, but this isn't the case; it is the nurse who decides when he is released…Subscribe to the show ⁠https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/the-essential-reads/subscribe⁠Get SurfShark and protect yourself online today VPN: ⁠⁠https://get.surfshark.net/aff_c?offer_id=926&aff_id=20389⁠⁠ Antivirus: ⁠⁠https://get.surfshark.net/aff_c?offer_id=934&aff_id=20389⁠⁠ Get data brokers to stop selling your information with: Incogni: ⁠⁠https://get.incogni.io/aff_c?offer_id=1219&aff_id=20389⁠⁠ *COMIC* By @Valenangelr ⁠https://www.instagram.com/valenangelr⁠ *SOCIAL*INSTAGRAM: ⁠https://www.instagram.com/theessentialreads⁠ TWITTER: ⁠http://twitter.com/isaacbirchall98⁠ KO-Fi: ⁠https://ko-fi.com/theessentialreads⁠ STORE: ⁠https://the-essential-reads.myshopify.com/⁠Support the showThank you so much for listening, if you want to support the me go to any of these links :)*Social*SHOPIFY: https://the-essential-reads.myshopify.com/INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/theessentialreadsTWITTER: http://twitter.com/isaacbirchall98Ko-Fi: https://ko-fi.com/theessentialreads

One Flew Over The Cuckoos Nest by Ken Kesey Part 2 chapter 2, Narrated by Isaac BirchallFollowing the staff meeting McMurphy goes full steam ahead continuing to annoy and anger the Aides and Staff, but the Big Nurse puts on a façade of calm and diplomacy. In all of his duties, he gives the bare minimum trying harder and harder to get the Big Nurse to crack again. The boys keep sitting in front of the TV in the day room and listen to McMurphy telling stories, showing that he can continue to be strong no matter what the nurse tries to pull on him. McMurphy's influence is starting to affect the other patients too, he is making them all feel a bit better, showing the men that you can't judge a book by its cover.The Fog Machine seems to be broken, and Chief Bromden is seeing clearly for the first time in years. He can actually look out of the windows on the ward at night. Looking out he saw a wild dog run around sniffing in squirrel holes and enjoying his life to the fullest. He then hears a group of geese flying towards him, and he notices the dog looking for the geese too. He dreams of being free like the dog, and just as the geese fly off one of the night aides and the nurses come and take him back to bed.

One Flew Over The Cuckoos Nest by Ken Kesey Part 2 chapter 1, narrated by Isaac BirchallThe Chief is looking through the Nurse's station window with all of the other Acutes. For the first time, she is getting a feeling of what it is like to be constantly watched. She has been made to lose control, and she knows that even the aides and nurses are watching her. The Chief always cleans the meeting room when they have a staff meeting, but since raising his hand for McMurphy, won't they all know that he can hear, and has been able to hear all of this time. One of the Aides comes over to Chief Bromden and the Chief seems to think that the aide “Knows” that he can hear. The Chief tries to play deaf again, and the Aide seems to believe him. Bromden makes his way to the meeting room and starts to clean while everyone is making themselves coffee. The Big Nurse seems to have recomposed herself since McMurphy's win, but she is very suspicious of the Chief. The meeting starts with the Nurse not saying a word, but with the Doctor leading the discussion. He asks what the assistant nurses and doctors think about the new patient McMurphy and what should be done with him. They all go into their own theories about his psyche and what they think about his effect on the other patients.The Nurse finally steps in and tells the men that they are all wrong. The only person that McMurphy cares about is himself and since he has been committed, they can keep him locked up until they break him, and the moment he finds out that he is going to be in the ward until the Big Nurse decides he is ready to leave, he will calm down.Subscribe to the show ⁠https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/the-essential-reads/subscribe⁠Get SurfShark and protect yourself online today VPN: ⁠⁠https://get.surfshark.net/aff_c?offer_id=926&aff_id=20389⁠⁠ Antivirus: ⁠⁠https://get.surfshark.net/aff_c?offer_id=934&aff_id=20389⁠⁠ Get data brokers to stop selling your information with: Incogni: ⁠⁠https://get.incogni.io/aff_c?offer_id=1219&aff_id=20389⁠⁠ *COMIC* By @Valenangelr ⁠https://www.instagram.com/valenangelr⁠ *SOCIAL*INSTAGRAM: ⁠https://www.instagram.com/theessentialreads⁠ TWITTER: ⁠http://twitter.com/isaacbirchall98⁠ KO-Fi: ⁠https://ko-fi.com/theessentialreads⁠ STORE: ⁠https://the-essential-reads.myshopify.com/⁠Support the showThank you so much for listening, if you want to support the me go to any of these links :)*Social*SHOPIFY: https://the-essential-reads.myshopify.com/INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/theessentialreadsTWITTER: http://twitter.com/isaacbirchall98Ko-Fi: https://ko-fi.com/theessentialreads

One Flew Over The Cuckoos Nest by Ken Kesey Part 1 chapter 14, narrated by Isaac BirchallChief Bromden recounts some of his military life, and how the hospital came into possession of a Fog Machine. These powerful machines were used heavily throughout the 2nd World War and helped the soldiers sneak onto enemy lines without having to worry about being taken out. You could see no more than 3ft in front of you; “Below the belt you would just disappear.” So that you could see you had to strain your eyes so that when you finally did see anything, it was in the clearest focus. Focusing to see took a lot of effort though, and it was so easy to get lost within it that Chief Bromden, once he got onto the Ward would just wander around, hoping to find something. Every time, no matter how much he thought he wandered the other way, he would manage to find the EST Machine Room where he received all of his treatments. After a while Bromden realised that it was easier to just sit in the fog and keep quiet. Since McMurphy's arrival, the fog has been rolling in thicker and thicker, hoping to catch him off guard. The Compressors start up just as the meeting is about to start. The Nurse wants to have a staff meeting to discuss McMurphy and his continuation as a patient on their ward. The Fog rolls in more and more and it eventually becomes so thick that it lifts the chief out of his chair, and he lays floating there above everyone else in the room while Billy Bibbit is being interrogated by the Nurse. Bromden goes on floating while all the sound around him becomes muffled by the fog. A chair comes floating into his view but no matter how hard Chief Bromden tries, he cannot float over to it; he is becoming very scared. Col. Matterson comes floating into the Chief's view, and as he starts to ramble in his preacher like way, Chief Bromden finally starts to understand what his ramblings mean. The other patients come by and slowly the Chief starts to understand all of their problems and woes. He Understands the patients like never before.McMurphy then finally comes out of the Fog, and it seems to the Chief like he is bringing people with him. He brings up TV time again to watch baseball, and gets finally manages, with help from the Chief to win a majority vote.

One Flew Over The Cuckoos Nest by Ken Kesey Part 1 chapter 13, narrated by Isaac BirchallBromden is looking at a picture of a man flyfishing in the mountains, wishing he were there too. He imagines that he is sweeping his broom into the painting and sits on a rock to take in the whole world around him. He reflects on what it was like at the previous hospital that he was in. He says that things have improved since the old days; they have pictures on the walls, and televisions.The fog starts to roll in, and Bromden starts to realise that the reason that McMurphy can't understand the other patients is because he doesn't understand how safe it is to just sit back and hide in the fog.Subscribe to theshow ⁠https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/the-essential-reads/subscribe⁠Get SurfShark andprotect yourself online today VPN: ⁠⁠https://get.surfshark.net/aff_c?offer_id=926&aff_id=20389⁠⁠ Antivirus: ⁠⁠https://get.surfshark.net/aff_c?offer_id=934&aff_id=20389⁠⁠ Get data brokers to stop selling your information with: Incogni: ⁠⁠https://get.incogni.io/aff_c?offer_id=1219&aff_id=20389⁠⁠ *COMIC* By @Valenangelr ⁠https://www.instagram.com/valenangelr⁠ *SOCIAL*INSTAGRAM: ⁠https://www.instagram.com/theessentialreads⁠ TWITTER: ⁠http://twitter.com/isaacbirchall98⁠ KO-Fi: ⁠https://ko-fi.com/theessentialreads⁠ STORE: ⁠https://the-essential-reads.myshopify.com/⁠Support the showThank you so much for listening, if you want to support the me go to any of these links :)*Social*SHOPIFY: https://the-essential-reads.myshopify.com/INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/theessentialreadsTWITTER: http://twitter.com/isaacbirchall98Ko-Fi: https://ko-fi.com/theessentialreads

One Flew Over The Cuckoos Nest by Ken Kesey Part 1 chapter 12, narrated by Isaac BirchallThe Men are in the new Tub Room Day Room playing a game of monopoly but with real money; 1 cent per game dollar. The game is going slow because Martini is seeing pieces and dice that don't actually exist. The game continues with the men not really getting any further on.At another point, Bromden is describing the fog, It seems to him that McMurphy pretends not to see the fog, and that he is able to keep his cool by pretending to be overly polite to all of the staff. Just once he loses his cool. At one of the group meetings, the men refuse to back McMurphy up. He had been taking bets on the World Series of Baseball all week and suggests to the group that they change the TV time so that they can watch the game. This stuns McMurphy because everyone has bet on the game; If they all have money on the results, then why wont they vote with him! After the meeting, back in the Tub Room, Billy approaches McMurphy, and tells him that the men are afraid to vote against anything that the Nurse wants because they are going to be here a lot longer than he is; they don't want to be punished later on. The day before the World Series is to start, McMurphy tries one last time to convince the men to vote with him…Subscribe to the show ⁠https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/the-essential-reads/subscribe⁠Get SurfShark and protect yourself online today VPN: ⁠⁠https://get.surfshark.net/aff_c?offer_id=926&aff_id=20389⁠⁠ Antivirus: ⁠⁠https://get.surfshark.net/aff_c?offer_id=934&aff_id=20389⁠⁠ Get data brokers to stop selling your information with: Incogni: ⁠⁠https://get.incogni.io/aff_c?offer_id=1219&aff_id=20389⁠⁠ *COMIC* By @Valenangelr ⁠https://www.instagram.com/valenangelr⁠ *SOCIAL* INSTAGRAM: ⁠https://www.instagram.com/theessentialreads⁠ TWITTER: ⁠http://twitter.com/isaacbirchall98⁠ KO-Fi: ⁠https://ko-fi.com/theessentialreads⁠ STORE: ⁠https://the-essential-reads.myshopify.com/⁠Support the showThank you so much for listening, if you want to support the me go to any of these links :)*Social*SHOPIFY: https://the-essential-reads.myshopify.com/INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/theessentialreadsTWITTER: http://twitter.com/isaacbirchall98Ko-Fi: https://ko-fi.com/theessentialreads

One Flew Over The Cuckoos Nest by Ken Kesey Part 1 chapter 11, narrated by Isaac BirchallThe boys head to the breakfast hall and McMurphy is laughing a mile a minute after his small victory over Nuse Ratched. He creates a fake story about he and Billy Bibbit running wild around a city together chasing after girls. None of the boys give him the response he is looking for though. McMurphy instead goes to tell the boys about how good things are inside the hospital when compared to his life on the work farm; in the hospital they get orange juice, and bacon and eggs, and at the work farm all they got was a burnt potato cake thing. After finishing his food, McMurphy gets up to head to the day room but is turned away, being told that they can only leave at 7:30. While waiting and watching the clock, he starts to fidget and decides to make a bet with the guys that he can hit the clock across the room with a pat of butter. He hits the wall instead, and instead of giving in he makes a new bet on how long it will take for the butter to hit the floor.In the day room the music is still blaring, and McMurphy finally goes over to the nurse's station to ask to have it turned off, but the Nurse, with her stone set face just tells him that if she were to turn the music down for him, it would be inconsiderate for the other patients who are harder of hearing. She thinks that she has had him beat with this response, but he then suggests that the tub room gets opened up as a 2nd day room for the men to play cards in. She refuses again, and McMurphy tries to keep his cool, but “The War” has begun between the two…Subscribe to the show ⁠https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/the-essential-reads/subscribe⁠Get SurfShark and protect yourself online today VPN: ⁠⁠https://get.surfshark.net/aff_c?offer_id=926&aff_id=20389⁠⁠ Antivirus: ⁠⁠https://get.surfshark.net/aff_c?offer_id=934&aff_id=20389⁠⁠ Get data brokers to stop selling your information with:Incogni: ⁠⁠https://get.incogni.io/aff_c?offer_id=1219&aff_id=20389⁠⁠ *COMIC* By @Valenangelr ⁠https://www.instagram.com/valenangelr⁠ *SOCIAL* INSTAGRAM: ⁠https://www.instagram.com/theessentialreads⁠ TWITTER: ⁠http://twitter.com/isaacbirchall98⁠ KO-Fi: ⁠https://ko-fi.com/theessentialreads⁠ STORE: ⁠https://the-essential-reads.myshopify.com/⁠Support the showThank you so much for listening, if you want to support the me go to any of these links :)*Social*SHOPIFY: https://the-essential-reads.myshopify.com/INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/theessentialreadsTWITTER: http://twitter.com/isaacbirchall98Ko-Fi: https://ko-fi.com/theessentialreads

One Flew Over The Cuckoos Nest by Ken Kesey Part 1 chapter 10, narrate by Isaac BirchallBromden is awake after his nightmare, and he finds that McMurphy is not only awake but singing! No one has ever sung on the Ward before, and everyone is wondering why the Aides haven't shut him up. Why is he treated differently, if the other patients were to act like McMurphy, they would be shut up in 2 seconds, but McMurphy is different. Maybe the reason that the Aides don't shut McMurphy down is because they know McMurphy is out of control.McMurphy is wearing nothing but a towel, and he walks over to one of the Aides and asks him for some toothpaste, but the Aide responds that the cabinet is closed until 6:30 and McMurphy jokes with him about it being a strange thing to keep under lock and key. McMurphy goes on his way back to the washroom and starts up his singing again until the Big Nurse comes onto the Ward. She comes towards the washroom where she can “correct” his behaviour, but just as she is about to entre McMurphy cuts her off. She tells him that he cannot just walk around the ward in a towel, so McMurphy complies…Subscribe to the show ⁠https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/the-essential-reads/subscribe⁠Get SurfShark and protect yourself online today VPN: ⁠⁠https://get.surfshark.net/aff_c?offer_id=926&aff_id=20389⁠⁠ Antivirus: ⁠⁠https://get.surfshark.net/aff_c?offer_id=934&aff_id=20389⁠⁠ Get data brokers to stop selling your information with:Incogni: ⁠⁠https://get.incogni.io/aff_c?offer_id=1219&aff_id=20389⁠⁠ *COMIC* By @Valenangelr ⁠https://www.instagram.com/valenangelr⁠ *SOCIAL* INSTAGRAM: ⁠https://www.instagram.com/theessentialreads⁠ TWITTER: ⁠http://twitter.com/isaacbirchall98⁠ KO-Fi: ⁠https://ko-fi.com/theessentialreads⁠ STORE: ⁠https://the-essential-reads.myshopify.com/⁠Support the showThank you so much for listening, if you want to support the me go to any of these links :)*Social*SHOPIFY: https://the-essential-reads.myshopify.com/INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/theessentialreadsTWITTER: http://twitter.com/isaacbirchall98Ko-Fi: https://ko-fi.com/theessentialreads

One Flew Over The Cuckoos Nest by Ken Kesey Part 1 chapter 9, narrated by Isaac BirchallChief Bromden is experiencing his first non-medicated night in a long time. As he starts to drift off he starts to hear a deep rumbling coming from somewhere beneath him, a sound that he has never noticed before. Bromden starts to feel the dorm floor start to slip down and down, like in an elevator going further down into the belly of the building. Eventually the room stops moving, and after a couple of seconds one of the walls lifts up to show a giant factory-esque room with endless blast furnaces. Shirtless men run along suspended platforms, spinning dials, and pushing buttons. The men seem to be moving perfectly, and whenever someone slows down or falls over, the other men just throw him right into the nearest furnace. One of the men comes near the chief's room and grabs one of the older decrepit patients and swings him onto a hook. The men then open the patient up and instead of innards, nothing but rust and ashes, falls out of his body… The nightmare continues and becomes worse as the night goes on. Bromden wants to wake up and warn everyone about what he just saw, but he knows that no one will believe him. When he does wake up however, he knows that what he saw must have happened because the patient that was on the hook is being wheeled out of the hospital.Subscribe to theshow ⁠https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/the-essential-reads/subscribe⁠Get SurfShark and protect yourself online today VPN: ⁠⁠https://get.surfshark.net/aff_c?offer_id=926&aff_id=20389⁠⁠ Antivirus: ⁠⁠https://get.surfshark.net/aff_c?offer_id=934&aff_id=20389⁠⁠ Get data brokers to stop selling your information with:Incogni: ⁠⁠https://get.incogni.io/aff_c?offer_id=1219&aff_id=20389⁠⁠ *COMIC* By @Valenangelr ⁠https://www.instagram.com/valenangelr⁠ *SOCIAL* INSTAGRAM: ⁠https://www.instagram.com/theessentialreads⁠ TWITTER: ⁠http://twitter.com/isaacbirchall98⁠ KO-Fi: ⁠https://ko-fi.com/theessentialreads⁠ STORE: ⁠https://the-essential-reads.myshopify.com/⁠Support the showThank you so much for listening, if you want to support the me go to any of these links :)*Social*SHOPIFY: https://the-essential-reads.myshopify.com/INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/theessentialreadsTWITTER: http://twitter.com/isaacbirchall98Ko-Fi: https://ko-fi.com/theessentialreads

One Flew Over The Cuckoos Nest by Ken Kesey Part 1 chapter 8, narrated by Isaac BirchallChief Bromden narrates more how he perceives the power of the Nurse on the Ward. He believes that she has the power to slow down or speed up time just by turning a dial on her control panel. She can make sure that no one has too much time with a visiting family member, or she can slow them down so that the men just have to sit alone with their thoughts for days and weeks on end to guarantee that the men suffer longer and worse than before. There is a tape that plays on loop in the day room. The music is just quiet enough to zone it out if you have been on the ward long enough, but loud enough to make any new patient start to lose their mind. McMurphy is playing cards with some of the other Acutes, and he is getting a bit antsy with the music playing over their heads. Harding tells McMurphy that pretty much everyone has zoned the music out, and Cheswick chimes in to say that the only time the music isn't playing is when they are sleeping. Harding prods McMurphy joking that something as small as some music is going to him lose his bet against the patients. Chief then goes to describe how McMurphy plays cards. He is a true conman; he is able to lead the men into the game with his talking, drawling, and laughing, and is able to keep the men entertained enough to win all of their packets of smokes, and then at the last moment let them win back their smokes to guarantee that they keep playing.As the night goes on, the lights get dimmed, and everyone has to make their way to the nurse's station to get their medication. After a brief altercation, the nurse's station closes early and it becomes the first night in years that Chief Bromden has been to bed unmedicated.Subscribe to the show ⁠https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/the-essential-reads/subscribe⁠Get SurfShark and protect yourself online today VPN: ⁠⁠https://get.surfshark.net/aff_c?offer_id=926&aff_id=20389⁠⁠ Antivirus: ⁠⁠https://get.surfshark.net/aff_c?offer_id=934&aff_id=20389⁠⁠ Get data brokers to stop selling your information with:Incogni: ⁠⁠https://get.incogni.io/aff_c?offer_id=1219&aff_id=20389⁠⁠ *COMIC* By @Valenangelr ⁠https://www.instagram.com/valenangelr⁠ *SOCIAL* INSTAGRAM: ⁠https://www.instagram.com/theessentialreads⁠ TWITTER: ⁠http://twitter.com/isaacbirchall98⁠ KO-Fi: ⁠https://ko-fi.com/theessentialreads⁠ STORE: ⁠https://the-essential-reads.myshopify.com/⁠Support the showThank you so much for listening, if you want to support the me go to any of these links :)*Social*SHOPIFY: https://the-essential-reads.myshopify.com/INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/theessentialreadsTWITTER: http://twitter.com/isaacbirchall98Ko-Fi: https://ko-fi.com/theessentialreads

One Flew Over The Cuckoos Nest by Ken Kesey Part 1 chapter 7, narrated by Isaac BirchallHarding and McMurphy continue to go at it. McMurphy tries to convince the men that they aren't Rabbits, but are men, who can be powerful, and can fight against Nurse Ratched's attacks. Billy Bibbit starts up, stating that the Nurse's tactic of staying silent makes all of the men too nervous to fight back. McMurphy states that they could always just give joke answers or tell her to get lost. The other patients continue to argue with McMurphy, and eventually Harding tells him about the greater tools in the Big Nurse's belt, the Electro-Shock Therapy machine, and the worse of all, the Lobotomy. If worse comes to worst, you will be turned into a zombie that can't do anything but be afraid of its own shadow. McMurphy then asks why the men don't take a vote; if the doctor was going on about letting the patients run their own ward, why don't they act upon it. McMurphy then goes on to say that the first thing he noticed about the place was that no one was laughing… Once you lose your laugh, you lose your soul…After more bickering and debating McMurphy finally concludes. He is going to challenge the Big Nurse at her own game, and he makes a bet with the patients that he is going to make the Big Nurse break before his first week on the ward is up.Subscribe to the show ⁠https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/the-essential-reads/subscribe⁠Get SurfShark and protect yourself online today VPN: ⁠⁠https://get.surfshark.net/aff_c?offer_id=926&aff_id=20389⁠⁠Antivirus: ⁠⁠https://get.surfshark.net/aff_c?offer_id=934&aff_id=20389⁠⁠ Get data brokers to stop selling your information with: Incogni: ⁠⁠https://get.incogni.io/aff_c?offer_id=1219&aff_id=20389⁠⁠*COMIC* By @Valenangelr ⁠https://www.instagram.com/valenangelr⁠*SOCIAL* INSTAGRAM: ⁠https://www.instagram.com/theessentialreads⁠TWITTER: ⁠http://twitter.com/isaacbirchall98⁠ KO-Fi:⁠https://ko-fi.com/theessentialreads⁠ STORE: ⁠https://the-essential-reads.myshopify.com/⁠Support the showThank you so much for listening, if you want to support the me go to any of these links :)*Social*SHOPIFY: https://the-essential-reads.myshopify.com/INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/theessentialreadsTWITTER: http://twitter.com/isaacbirchall98Ko-Fi: https://ko-fi.com/theessentialreads

Dr. Drew and Mark Geragos are back for some more nuanced discussions, especially concerning how we deal with mental health in this country and drug addiction. Dr. Drew explains how trauma is rocket fuel for addiction, and there's so much more we can do for psychiatric patients that would benefit not just the individual, but all of humanity. They also contemplate paths young men can take to support healthy masculinity and their future livelihoods. Please Support Our Sponsor: Angi.com

One Flew Over The Cuckoos Nest by Ken Kesey Part 1 chapter 6, narrated by Isaac BirchallBromden explains what the Therapeutic theory is, its goal is to bring any problem out into the open instead of letting it fester allowing the patients to learn how to become better members of society when they eventually integrate back into real society. Bromden then goes on to explain one point when the nurse first got the men to confess to their “Sins,” she sat in silence for 20 minutes, and after the silence broke, the men confessed to everything they had ever done, real or not, just trying to outdo each other. The Nurse's system worked better than she could have ever hoped for. Old Pete then piped up, saying he was tired, which broke the spell over the men. Bromden then goes on to explain what happened when the aides tried to remove Pete from the meeting, he fought off the aides and was only quieted down after he had exerted all of the energy he had left and after he said all that he had to say. At 2PM the meeting ends, and from the point that they finished talking about McMurphy, all of the men were laying into Harding. They go and bring the tables back into the room, but all of the patients feel bad about what they did to Harding. After the tables are back in the room, McMurphy goes to talk to Harding about what just happened in the meeting. He asks if that is how the meeting usually go, and Harding responds at first by telling McMurphy that though the method can seem strange to the untrained eye, what just happened in the meeting was for Harding's benefit. However, after being further challenged by McMurphy, Harding breaks down and admits that the Therapeutic Theory is nothing but harmful and degrading and that the Big Nurse is nothing but a Power-Hungry Bully.

One Flew Over The Cuckoos Nest by Ken Kesey Part 1 chapter 5, narrated by Isaac BirchallThe fog is rolling in around the chief again and he is trying to fight it so that he can keep an eye on the new guy. Around 1, the fog fades away and the tables are moved for the meeting. The Doctor walks in and takes his seat, everyone else sits too, the Big Nurse entering last to command the room.As soon as she sits down, one of the patients starts Wailing about how tired he is, but she doesn't pay him and attention while she gathers her papers together. The Nurse then sets her watch and takes out her folder to start the meeting, no one is watching her except for McMurphy, looking to understand what the Big Nurse is getting at; she is just as wary as he is. The meeting starts with the Nurse talking about Harding's issues with his wife, his jealousy issues, and his issues with his wife's belief that any action by a man that isn't “macho” is “dandy.” McMurphy interrupts the meeting to make a rude comment, and almost takes the Big Nurse off guard, but she keeps her cool and decides to have a look at McMurphy's folder instead of Harding's. She reads through his history and talks to the Doctor about just how McMurphy ended up in the hospital.Subscribe to the show ⁠https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/the-essential-reads/subscribe⁠Get SurfShark and protect yourself online today VPN: ⁠⁠https://get.surfshark.net/aff_c?offer_id=926&aff_id=20389⁠⁠Antivirus: ⁠⁠https://get.surfshark.net/aff_c?offer_id=934&aff_id=20389⁠⁠ Get data brokers to stop selling your information with: Incogni: ⁠⁠https://get.incogni.io/aff_c?offer_id=1219&aff_id=20389⁠⁠*COMIC* By @Valenangelr ⁠https://www.instagram.com/valenangelr⁠*SOCIAL* INSTAGRAM: ⁠https://www.instagram.com/theessentialreads⁠TWITTER: ⁠http://twitter.com/isaacbirchall98⁠ KO-Fi: ⁠https://ko-fi.com/theessentialreads⁠ STORE: https://the-essential-reads.myshopify.com/⁠Support the showThank you so much for listening, if you want to support the me go to any of these links :)*Social*SHOPIFY: https://the-essential-reads.myshopify.com/INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/theessentialreadsTWITTER: http://twitter.com/isaacbirchall98Ko-Fi: https://ko-fi.com/theessentialreads

One Flew Over The Cuckoos Nest by Ken Kesey Part 1 chapter 4, narrated by Isaac BirchallThe Big nurse is sitting behind her glass window and is filling a bunch of needles with chemicals. She is asked by one of the small nurses what she thinks about the New Inmate McMurphy. The Big Nurse replies that McMurphy is a manipulator, and that she doubts if McMurphy is intact insane, and says that he could just be looking for free Bed and Board. She reminisces about how previous troublemakers were dealt with, and the small nurse interrupts her by asking why someone would want to disrupt the peace. The Chief then goes on to describe the Nurse's demeanour, she wants everything in perfect condition, and has tried her best to make everything inside the hospital perfect. But as she cannot be on the ward 24/7, she has also tried to change the outside world (what the chief calls « The Combine ») to be perfect too; a world of precision and perfection, where everyone who won't obey her is in a hospital. The chief then goes onto explain how the Nurse created her staff. She forces everyone « decent » off of the ward until she could find a doctor who would let her be in charge of the ward. The Aides were brought in only to Hate, she found 3 men that run on hate, and hate only; they hate the nurse, the patients, everyone who isn't an Aide, and they probably hate each other too. After a long while, the nurse and her aides became able to communicate only on hate, and the Aides act out her wishes without the Big Nurse having to open her mouth.The Chief then goes on to describe the patients. The long-term patients, and referred to as Chronics, and the newer admissions, usually inside by self-admission, are called Acutes.The Chief then describes the general schedule of each day. Breakfast, showers, shaving, medication, puzzles and cards and magazines.He then recounts the story of a Chronic who didn't react well to taking pills that he didn't know. He explains what happens to people who don't comply and it's very very grim.Then the « Public Relations » guy comes in and walks some nurses/residents and explains to them how much things have improved over the past few decades...Subscribe to the show ⁠https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/the-essential-reads/subscribe⁠Get SurfShark and protect yourself online today VPN: ⁠⁠https://get.surfshark.net/aff_c?offer_id=926&aff_id=20389⁠⁠Antivirus: ⁠⁠https://get.surfshark.net/aff_c?offer_id=934&aff_id=20389⁠⁠ Get data brokers to stop selling your information with:Incogni: ⁠⁠https://get.incogni.io/aff_c?offer_id=1219&aff_id=20389⁠⁠*COMIC* By @Valenangelr ⁠https://www.instagram.com/valenangelr⁠*SOCIAL* INSTAGRAM: ⁠https://www.instagram.com/theessentialreads⁠TWITTER: ⁠http://twitter.com/isaacbirchall98⁠ KO-Fi: ⁠https:Support the showThank you so much for listening, if you want to support the me go to any of these links :)*Social*SHOPIFY: https://the-essential-reads.myshopify.com/INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/theessentialreadsTWITTER: http://twitter.com/isaacbirchall98Ko-Fi: https://ko-fi.com/theessentialreads

One Flew Over The Cuckoos Nest by Ken Kesey Part 1 chapter 3. narrated by Isaac BirchallThe new man takes a look around at the inmates of the hospital. They are playing card games and smoking, and they whisper to each other. No one ever laughs though. The room is separated into 2 sections, Acutes, those treatable, and the Chronics, those considered too far gone to be one day released. They narrator goes to explain how some of the patients came in as Acutes and were then made Chronics by the treatments like Electro-Shock Therapy and lobotomies. The Aides make fun of the Chronics as they know that nothing can be done about it; the Chronics are too far gone to fight back. Chief Bromden goes to say that he has been on the ward longer than anyone but the head nurse and adds that he came in just after the 2nd World War. The New guy walks around the Ward, taking it all in. He makes the men feel uncomfortable and calls out asking who “The Bull Goose Loony” is. McMurphy asks to speak to the craziest person on the ward as he wants to straighten out who the leader is. Billy Bibbit announces that Harding is the leader as he is the leader of “Patient's Council.” McMurphy then has a “Stand-off” with Harding, and McMurphy establishes himself as the Top Man on the ward. After this, McMurphy starts telling the men about his history of incarceration, and how he is a habitual gambler. McMurphy then goes around and shakes hands with every patient on the Ward. When he gets to Bromden, he starts to make jokes about the chief's size, but everyone on the ward tells McMurphy that he is deaf and that he cannot speak either. The Big Nurse then calls over to McMurphy and says, though she is thankful that he is introducing himself on the ward, now is not the time, and that he needs to take his orders and have a shower.

This week we dive into some breaking news. Along with some would you rather? It gets interesting. And we learn why people are interested in cuckolding. Which blows my mind! Let's Go Thru It. Together!

Book Vs Movie: “Dog Day Afternoon” The Classic Hollywood 1974 film Vs “The Boys in the Bank” from 1972 article from Life Magazine On August 22, 1972, John Wojtowicz and two accomplices entered a bank In Brooklyn at 450 Avenue P (in Gravesend) and started a robbery. One left early, (20-year-old Bobby Westeberg) while Wojtowicz and 18-year-old Sal Naturale proceeded to steal almost $200,000 in cash and traveler's checks before being surrounded by the police. What happened for the next 14 hours was a standoff and media circus for the ages.  Turns out Wojtowicz said he needed the money for a “sex change” operation (as it was known at the time)  for his partner Ernest Aron. The police brought Aron to the scene straight from the hospital where they had attempted suicide the week before. Another of Wojtowicz lover was brought out and he kissed him on the mouth in front of the news camera which hundreds of locals who made up the crowd. He also threw money into the air and ordered pizza for the bank hostages held inside.  Eventually, the robbers and many of the bank hostages were taken to JFK airport where Naturale was shot in the chest and killed immediately. Wojtowicz was arrested and eventually spent a few years in jail for his crimes. He married again while in prison and had a tough time holding down a job because of his past. In the end, he was reduced to trying to make some money by posing in front of the bank for autographs. He died of cancer in 2006 at the age of 60.  Aron eventually had gender reassignment surgery and died from the complications of AIDS in 1987. She took the name, Elizabeth Eden.  Writers P.F. Kluge and Thomas Moore wrote about the crime and hostage situation on September 22, 1972, for Life magazine and the title of the article was “The Boys in the Bank” that was bought by Warner Brothers pictures and developed into the film Dog Day Afternoon.  The 1975 film directed by Sidney Lumet and screenplay by Frank Pierson changes a few of the major details. The lead crook is “Sonny Wortzik” played by Al Pacino and his main cohort is Sal Naturile played by 40-year-old acting legend John Cazale. Filmed in Winsdor Terrace, Brooklyn (near Margo D's home!) the movie would become a huge moneymaker and nominated for all of the major categories at the Academy Awards in 1976 (and losing most to One Flew Over the Cuckoos Nest which was the movie to beat that season.)  The film is a modern classic and entered in 2009 to the Library of Congress and in the National Film Registry.  In 2014, The Dog a documentary by filmmakers Allison Berg and Frank Keraudren told the “real” story by following the real John Wojtowicz who painted himself as an early gay rights icon and misunderstood human.   So, between the original novel and the movie--which did we prefer? Have a listen and find out!  In this ep the Margos discuss: The backstory behind the 1972 robbery & the aftermath  The biggest differences between the real story and the 1975 film  Rumors as to who was really behind the bank robbery What happened to the main figures  The cast: Al Pacino (Sonny Wotzik,) John Cazale (Sal Naturile,) Charles Durning (Sergeant Eugene Moretti,) Penelope Allen (Sylvia,) Susan Peretz (Angie,) James Broderick (FBI agent,) Lance Henricksen (FBI agent,) Carol Kane (The Squirrel,) and Chris Sarandon as Leon Shermer.
