Together, they present the poem "Mushrooms," by Sylvia Plath.Recitation begins at 47:22MushroomsSylvia PlathOvernight, veryWhitely, discreetly,Very quietlyOur toes, our nosesTake hold on the loam,Acquire the air.Nobody sees us,Stops us, betrays us;The small grains make room.Soft fists insist onHeaving the needles,The leafy bedding,Even the paving.Our hammers, our rams,Earless and eyeless,Perfectly voiceless,Widen the crannies,Shoulder through holes. WeDiet on water,On crumbs of shadow,Bland-mannered, askingLittle or nothing.So many of us!So many of us!We are shelves, we areTables, we are meek,We are edible,Nudgers and shoversIn spite of ourselves.Our kind multiplies:We shall by morningInherit the earth.Our foot's in the door.

He is live. Aunt Bertha's always there. Aunt Bertha Snow. And there's no mistaking that huge, bloated shape. Yeah, I'm just really happy to never see her. Not even for Halloween, not even for the end of the world, to never see her. Man, that makes me happy. Ponderous and elephantine. Now, that had to be 96. As I was typing the date, I thought I had it wrong. Which means I have to yank it off the air, redo the credits, and then put it back on. And why would you be having to do that, my son? Because on the little tape, on the little presentation, it says 93. And I think, I don't think Dren Pedro is right. I don't think it was that early that we did that particular... But then why would it have a false signature? Oh, because I put it there early in the evening. I was looking at notes of other videos. I see, I made a momentary attribution. Who knows, maybe you were right. Sometimes they say your first impulse is most likely to be the accurate one. And I don't know what to do, caller. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/philo-drummond/message
Puzz, Philo, and Hal were waiting for their collective note. Their lack of registration of the foreground and middle ground played by use of an otherwise competent shot by Palmer or something like Frederiksen. Now anyway, the butt, the talks about this stop motion idea got the love of the music scene in '62 and some try to ignore their existence entirely. Which for some they find an echo again. It was great to be young and alive in those days, and now old and dead. When the show started, it was all the more. Backed by Michael Peppe. All the time back then. Little idea in our minds. And there were great things. You. To be experienced. Wonder is coming, which would be but earnest of what had previously appeared. This was an article of faith, a blast of loudness in the ears of some very small increments. There you go. An enormous increase in sound and a vital vibration. Casting down party takes the afternoon. Going now? I'm trying to watch. It is okay. All the glory is living there in the ocean. The great whale. Honestly, just very ever. So read this. Corals of the sea. And. Okay, well, don't worry that work is at work. Hope. And bring us into the listening. The future time, which is the age of mutants when giant mutants. The new mutant. What do we need to know about staying? Nothing. Nothing. If you believe everything you read in the book of the South. Genius. Well, we have a bridge to his name. The fact is that no one really knows much about this mysterious figure called diamond. Clearly, it's one quarter and one quarter black. Absurdly, one other white. Upon closer examination, ordered Chinese to one quarter. The first mix of ethnicity. How does it all appeal to you? After this question, one must go back to the beginning of Empire at the perfect candidate. We're not recommending the multicultural, diverse candidate. He looks like an old Chinese company assembled before a wall. He's a wall. He's a wise old Chinese. Normally transpires in western New York State. If we did an hour and a half of singing, I wouldn't stand. Do you think he'd put the whole thing on his show? We'll just be one whole show off. You know what? If somebody did a home run. You know, if they do your name for an hour, you're going to use it for something. At least a phone message. Yeah. You know, I mean, it's a giveaway. What can I say? We've got a special line today that I want you to look, especially at our bargain basement. I remember that one time. You know, we've got such wonderful bargains here. I think we all take it for granted. But the customer comes first. The customer is key here at some genius department store. And I want each and every one of you not to forget that I love this job. Me too. I'm the luckiest guy in the world to work in the lingerie department at the sub genius of my apartment store. Here's a rose for your. I thought it was a radio show, but it was really a genius in the apartment store. Yes, the ladies love this department. Down to the apartment store. And they look at each other, not the department store. That's the store in their griddles. And they're vulgar. Chain store. They held their Grumman's over their head and whirled them around in the air. Every Christmas we set up the model trains for the kiddies on the roof, and there's Gizmo the Clown and that jolly old elf Saint Nick himself, playing with your artifact, their son in Santa's workshop. Children will be handled and not diddled. They'll be standing around with their little tan, and they'll be falling into their little can with their dando boy. Meanwhile, mighty bargains can be heaved up from the deep, girdling each other, the subbasement where bargains reign supreme in Pluto's kingdom. Yes, even Pluto will wangle his his boggle and he'll wrangle his vocal cord giving a party. That's where the fun begins. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/philo-drummond/message
Speaker 4 [00:48:40] Now here's something else you should think about. Recycling old underwear. Speaker 5 [00:48:45] From the elements and. Speaker 4 [00:48:46] Not for people to wear as underwear anymore. But in third world countries they use them as heads wrap. Speaker 5 [00:48:52] They form in a mantle gray star in rock. Wrap yourself in underwear that you're taking to the laundromat. Something like that. Speaker 4 [00:49:00] But now we take the underwear down to the underwear. Speaker 5 [00:49:03] The animal kingdom. Speaker 4 [00:49:05] Breathe recycling. Speaker 5 [00:49:06] Wears no underwear. And just. Speaker 4 [00:49:08] Above the skidmark. Speaker 5 [00:49:09] Under the open sky. Speaker 4 [00:49:11] They make the skidmarks come out with orange oil. Speaker 5 [00:49:14] Foxes have earth. Birds have their nests. But the sun is. Speaker 4 [00:49:18] Really, really tough. Speaker 5 [00:49:19] Has nowhere to lay his head. Speaker 4 [00:49:21] They ask the skid mark exorcist. Speaker 5 [00:49:25] Night and day out under the open skies of heaven. Yes. These, the gigantic dinosaurs are inheritors of the Triassic. Cretaceous who lived there. Looming lives in the. Warm and sultry Savannah. And of course, in this prehistoric. The rise of the dinosaur in the Late Triassic and early Jurassic period. We will. 230 to 190 million years ago is a classic example of evolutionary radiation considered evolution not like a line, but like a bush, an ever branching tree, a tangled bank expanding through phases and cycles. During that time, the clade dinosaur expanded from a single lineage to many dozens of lineages, and from one ecological and morphological type to many, and the range sizes expanded. Speaker 4 [00:50:32] I'm sorry, how. Speaker 5 [00:50:33] Truly gigantic forms. Speaker 4 [00:50:35] That just. Speaker 5 [00:50:36] Prehistoric reptiles. Eons of years ago. Speaker 4 [00:50:41] While you were riffing on the reptile. Hello, I was thinking about I was thinking about the recycled underwear problem. The problem of. Speaker 5 [00:50:53] Underwear that's fun to wear. Well, no, I'm sorry, your underwear cannot. Speaker 4 [00:50:58] Be. Speaker 5 [00:50:59] KPFA. You have to draw the line somewhere. And that is true. That underwear. Speaker 4 [00:51:04] Well, that's why I was saying, now that they have this new skidmark removal technology. Speaker 5 [00:51:08] Too late. You can get a tiger. Speaker 4 [00:51:11] In your underwear. Speaker 5 [00:51:12] And just touch the tight pin. Do any fresh and recent any. Speaker 4 [00:51:16] Of the really, really tough skidmarks might require access. Skid mark. Exorcist will incarnate certain ritualistic ancient invocations, drawing the skidmark out of the underwear, and should be able to be drawn out for us. Then they become. There is a good mark. Physical remover comes with his sword. Speaker 5 [00:51:43] You have.

Speaker 2: [00:18:47] Oh, they're all volunteers. It depends on what your definition of volunteer was back then to also just pretty much in general, when you get young guys to volunteer, it's always about like like I felt in. [00:18:58][10.8] Speaker 1: [00:18:58] My Navy where. [00:18:59][0.8] Speaker 2: [00:18:59] Yes, chief. You're right, I volunteered, but nobody told me what it was about. Yeah, I volunteered and but nobody told me I was going to actually have to kill people, die. Or I could get into a box that I could barely breathe amongst with a bunch of other sweaty guys. And we were going to turn a little crank and go underwater and pour holes in the bottoms of other ships. That'll dynamite charges. [00:19:23][23.9] Speaker 1: [00:19:24] The damn Yankees. Yes. That's the way, Alaskan successional. [00:19:31][7.0] Speaker 2: [00:19:32] And part of what. [00:19:33][0.9] Speaker 1: [00:19:34] This neo confederate, succession is great. [00:19:38][3.4] Speaker 2: [00:19:38] Technology. And yet. No, we had to use. [00:19:40][2.2] Speaker 1: [00:19:40] The old stuff. What was it? What caused us to. It was elbow grease and 100% grit. [00:19:48][7.7] Speaker 2: [00:19:49] Well, when we put the grease on our bodies, we found we made us more. [00:19:54][4.2] Speaker 1: [00:19:54] Buoyant than before. Well, yeah, that's been an issue. [00:19:58][4.6] Speaker 2: [00:19:59] I think we're all floating now. [00:20:00][1.0] Speaker 1: [00:20:01] And when they dragged it up and dragged it through the streets with an honor guard, that everybody who was inside, I guess was still inside, packed in the mud at that point. [00:20:10][9.6] Speaker 2: [00:20:11] Is that right? Yeah. [00:20:12][0.9] Speaker 1: [00:20:12] Back on the shoulder. [00:20:13][0.6] Speaker 2: [00:20:14] Yeah. Yes. Yeah. And the the lady that was running behind, because her husband was in there said, please let him out. Well, everybody was actually staring at her because she used his bones and little. [00:20:26][12.4] Speaker 1: [00:20:26] Rag to go. [00:20:27][0.5] Speaker 2: [00:20:28] She's running good. [00:20:28][0.5] Speaker 1: [00:20:29] Thank you for falling away. [00:20:31][1.6] Speaker 2: [00:20:31] It was her grant. That was the, National Lampoon had a great thing where Teddy Kennedy was accepting the presidency nomination. Or down just the center of the. Yeah, it was the. [00:20:40][8.7] Speaker 1: [00:20:40] Rod and Mary Jo coverage. They were throwing, like, a, like an easy comic, you know. [00:20:45][4.5] Speaker 2: [00:20:45] Like, John Wilson drawing. Wonderful. I had that thing frame for a while. [00:20:49][4.6] Speaker 1: [00:20:50] Oh, that sounds hilarious. Oh, do you have this?

Good News! This Show can be summed up by this letter: Dear Lord Smythington-Rumphole, Thank you for providing me with a very lovely shed over the last 5 years. I once caught two marmots grundeling in the boiler room. Incidentally, the boiler room is really smelly and appears to be a guest latrine for the homeless and the rumpus room has fungi and mold growing on the walls. During my time here, I have only known of two violent assaults and three drug stabbings. I hereby give notice on 716 Mungersnatch Crossing. I've left a pair of grundeling marmots in the bath to express my sincere gratitude. Yours sincerely Little Johnny Boxdweller --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/philo-drummond/message
Scalps have been turning up all over Berkeley and the populace is scared. 10 murders in 10 weeks, all committed with a Hand Saw, and still nobody has a clue who the killer is. Puzzling Uberbrow Evidence is an aging Oakland detective with a fondness for Dream Fluff donuts. When his friend, Howlland Owll, is kidnapped, he enlists the aid of a charming actor Philo Drummond. Yonder, Puzzling was struggling to make his way through the magic cornfield behind Philo's place. He had severely hurt his double chin during the window incident, and was starting to lose strength. A pack of feral marmots suddenly appeared. One by one they latched on to Puzzling Evidence who yielded to the furry onslaught and collapsed. The last thing he saw before losing consciousness was a buzzing horde of marmots clutching his vintage cassette deck. It was Friday the 13th, About four hours later, Puzzling awoke, his double chin throbbing. It was dark and Puzzling did not know where he was. Deep in the hazy fantastic pumpkin patch, he was alarmingly lost. Like a drunken sailor at happy hour, he remembered that his vintage cassette deck was taken by the marmots. That's when, to his horror, a retarded marmot emerged from the lemur-infested moor. Can Drummond help Evidence overcome his video game addiction and find answers before the killer and his deadly Hand Saw strike again? --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/philo-drummond/message

The Hairy Robot A Short Story by Lord Shartly VonShitstainpants Philo Drummond looked at the hairy robot in his hands and felt grumpy. He walked over to the window and reflected on his Overman surroundings. He had always loved the Fog-Shrouded Fortress of Solitude with its motionless, organism laden, modern Moss. It was a place that encouraged his tendency to feel lumpy. Then he saw something in the distance, or rather someone. It was the figure of Dr. Hal Owll. Dr. Hal was a brutal muppet with greasy armpits and a chubby new generic appendage. Philo gulped. He glanced at his own reflection. He was a lofty, third, Fermented Watermelon Juice drinker with handsome armpits and beautiful new generic appendages of his own. His friends saw him as an angelic if deadly Ninja Saint. Once, he had even helped a tired toddler cross the road. But not even a lofty person who had once helped a tired toddler cross the road, was prepared for what Dr. Hal had in store today. The mud teased like loving snakes, making Philo happy. As Philo stepped outside and Dr. Hal came closer, he could see the Sauron-like eye beaming out.. "Look Philo," growled Dr. Hal, with an obsequious glare that reminded Philo of brutal puppies. "It's not that I don't love you, but I want secret world peace formula. You owe me 2766 shekels." Philo looked back, even more happy and still fingering the hairy robot. "Dr. Hal, I am your cousin and your brother," he replied. They looked at each other with apathetic feelings, like two glamorous, graceful goldfish rampaging at a very greedy St Swithen's Day, which had Death Metal music playing in the background and two friendly uncles stage diving to the beat. Philo regarded Dr. Hal's greasy armpits and chubby new generic appendage. "I don't have the funds ..." he lied. Dr. Hal glared. "Do you want me to shove that hairy robot in another hairy place where the sun don't shine?" Philo promptly remembered his lofty and third values. "Actually, I do have the funds," he admitted. He reached into his pockets. "Here's what I owe you." Dr. Hal looked dopey, his wallet blushing like a stingy, splendid statue. Then they both came inside for a nice drink of Fermented Watermelon Juice. THE END Created on 10th April 2024. Auto Praise for The Hairy Robot "I feel like I know Philo Drummond. In a way, it feels as though I've always known him." - The Daily Tale "About as enjoyable as being hailed on whilst taking in washing that has been targeted by seagulls with the squits." - Enid Kibbler "Saying the mud teased like loving snakes is just the kind of literary device that makes this brilliant." - Hit the Spoof "I could do better." - Zob Gloop --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/philo-drummond/message
It was a moonlit night at KPFA radio station, where Dr. Philo Drummond, Dr. Hal Owll, and Professor D. Wellwood hosted their offbeat UFO cult detective show. Wellwood, always searching for his elusive tapedeck and reminiscing about Burning Man, added his peculiar charm. During a break in their broadcast, a commotion upstairs led them to a grisly discovery in the station manager's office – the lifeless body of a low-life scumbag with ties to the criminal underworld. Wellwood's sharp deductions pointed to a tangled web of corruption involving crooked politicians and compromised judges. Ruby Malone, a mysterious dame with connections, hinted at Slim Delaney, a smooth-talking con-man who knew more than he let on. Joe Biden, ever bumbling, stumbled into the mess, almost blowing their cover. He offered to help but only made things worse until inadvertently revealing critical evidence and almost blowing the case wide open but not quite. To unravel the mystery, they navigated through the city's seedy underbelly, bribing informants and making shady deals in dimly-lit bars. All the while, they kept up the façade of their radio personas. As tensions mounted, they uncovered an unexpected link to an evil clown named Chuckles, lurking in the shadows and pulling strings behind the scenes. In a climactic showdown atop the station's roof – which opened dramatically like a missile launchpad – they confronted Chuckles and his cronies. Wellwood's tapedeck, miraculously recovered, played a crucial role in distracting the villains long enough for them to gain the upper hand. With the first light of dawn on the horizon, Drummond, Owll, and Wellwood toasted their victory with Ruby, knowing they had only scratched the surface of the city's mysteries. As they signed off their show, they looked forward to their next broadcast – and the unpredictable adventures that awaited them, fueled by Wellwood's Burning Man tales, tapedeck, and the allure of the night. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/philo-drummond/message
It was a foggy evening in London, and Dr. Philo Drummond, a distinguished archaeologist with a knack for solving mysteries, found himself in the study of his close friend and colleague, Dr. Hal Owll. The two were discussing an intriguing case that had recently come to their attention – the disappearance of top-secret government documents from the Foreign Office, under mysterious circumstances. As they pored over the details, a knock at the door interrupted their conversation. In stepped a tall, slender man with sharp features and piercing eyes – Professor D. Wellwood, a renowned consulting detective known for his uncanny resemblance to the legendary Sherlock Holmes. "Gentlemen," began Wellwood, "I believe our paths have crossed for a reason. This case of the missing documents is more complex than it appears." Drummond and Owll nodded in agreement, eager to hear Wellwood's analysis. The professor paced the room, his mind clearly at work. "The key lies in the timing of the theft and the potential motives behind it," he mused aloud. "We must visit the scene of the crime and hunt for clues." The trio set out that very night to the Foreign Office, where they combed through the offices under the guise of conducting research on ancient civilizations. It was there, hidden beneath a desk, that Drummond discovered a crumpled note with cryptic symbols – a clue left behind by the perpetrators. Their investigation led them down a labyrinth of twists and turns, involving encounters with a peculiar cast of characters including ghostly whispers, a retired wrestling champion turned tea enthusiast, a gorilla with a penchant for opera, a ballerina who moonlighted as a codebreaker, and a mysterious clown who frequented the opera house. One stormy evening, as they followed a lead to an abandoned warehouse on the outskirts of the city, they stumbled upon a shocking sight – the lifeless body of a Foreign Office clerk, clutching a torn corner of the missing documents. "It appears our adversaries will stop at nothing to keep their secrets hidden," remarked Owll solemnly. With Wellwood's guidance, the detectives pieced together the puzzle. They uncovered a web of espionage involving foreign agents and a disgruntled diplomat with a taste for blackmail. The missing documents held the key to an international scandal that threatened to upend diplomatic relations. In a dramatic climax, the detectives apprehended the culprits, restoring the stolen documents to their rightful place. The case was solved, but not without a few surprises – including an unexpected cameo by none other than Joe Biden, who, in a moment of absentmindedness, nearly spilled tea over critical evidence during a press conference. In the aftermath of their success, Drummond, Owll, and Wellwood celebrated with a well-deserved evening at the opera. Ghosts, wrestlers, gorillas, ballerinas, and clowns alike joined in the revelry, making for a memorable spectacle. As the curtains closed on their adventure, the trio of detectives found themselves hailed as heroes, their friendship cemented through the trials and triumphs of the case. With a renewed sense of purpose, they looked forward to future adventures, confident that together, they could unravel any mystery that crossed their path. And so, in true Holmesian fashion, Dr. Philo Drummond, Dr. Hal Owll, and Professor D. Wellwood continued to thrive in a world where the thrill of the chase was only surpassed by the joy of solving the most perplexing of puzzles. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/philo-drummond/message

Philo, Hal, and PuzEv had been best friends since childhood, bonded by their shared love for astronomy and exploration. Together, they embarked on a daring mission to Mars, armed with their homemade radio transmitter fashioned from spare parts and sheer determination. As they set up their equipment on the dusty Martian surface, excitement buzzed in the air as they prepared to make history by establishing communication with Earth. With bated breath, they powered on the radio, adjusting knobs and antennas in hopes of catching a signal. Suddenly, crackles and static filled the airwaves, and strange, otherworldly voices began to emerge from the speakers. Bewildered, the friends exchanged puzzled glances, unsure of what they were hearing. Before they could investigate further, wispy apparitions materialized around the radio, taking on eerie forms that seemed to dance and swirl in the Martian breeze. Philo, Hal, and PuzEv stared in disbelief as the ghosts emanated from their equipment, their translucent figures casting a haunting glow against the red Martian soil. Fear gripped their hearts as they struggled to comprehend the supernatural phenomenon unfolding before them. With trembling hands, they attempted to shut off the radio, but the ghosts persisted, swirling around them with an otherworldly energy. Desperate to escape the spectral spectacle, the friends huddled together, frantically brainstorming a solution. Drawing upon their collective ingenuity, they quickly devised a plan to reverse the radio's frequency, hoping to disrupt the ghostly transmission. With a series of swift adjustments, they managed to override the signal, causing the apparitions to dissipate into the Martian atmosphere. Exhausted but relieved, Philo, Hal, and PuzEv shared a moment of triumph as they realized they had narrowly averted disaster. Though shaken by their brush with the supernatural, they remained undeterred in their quest to communicate with Earth. With renewed determination, they returned to their makeshift radio, ready to resume their mission and make contact with their home planet once more.

Let's catch Philo and Hal as they blabber away - Let me call my rat with your paw But I didn't mean to Ridicule your rat in the way I can afford some Tell us the ugly looking rat. I never seen he came out trying to bite my tire with his foamy mouth Come on ready His eyes are one ready by Thinking Horrible Horrible look on his and he's shivering after my tire Well, no wonder dogs chase On the tire Dog Three-eyed two-eared Lop-faced enemy of dogs. They can't hurt you know He was lop-faced. All right He had a half of his face had at least three quarters of his head in it And the other half of his face had less than one quarter of his head in it, you know He was real piece of work. He was like a real long jawed lop-faced, face-eyed green lipped lily-livered Lily-livered lap dog of the Bougeoisie was he a running dog? He was a dog of Bush. He was one of Bush's left on the prison map in a way it pushes the lab drawers away. Like a doll like a greasy slimey doll dog. There he was here in the background looking away at the lap of luxury As a dog returneth to his vomit so returneth a fool to the lollygagging Lollygagging the way it's a lab lollygagging around Lying like a lumpy log dog hog Lying and licking and liking and like a lollipop like lichen licking the edge of a lichen Actual words said on The Show are exclusively for use by "the children" to build a better brighter greener future. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/philo-drummond/message

Underestimating Puzzling is a mistake made too often everyday. After retrieving his garment, the intro whipped up a frenzy and left out nobody. Suddenly, without remorse Drs. Howwll and Drummond rarely do what they say they will do but instead back-up the Show with the listeners still intact while deconstructing gloating as a concept. Dr. Peppe, Dr. Solar, Dr. Love, Luke warm Christians spewing forth, Luke in the barn with Kate and Pepino and Mojo Under The Whales at Bay, Hal Freefaces invoking Philo's jealousy, A time control mistake could make us extinct, under the bus, good neuro-toxins, Taxi-Bob visits, This one has only 1.5 hours of a 5 hour show. So to say it is a five-hour show would be a flat out lie+, it's only 30% of a 5-Hour Show.

In this amazing episode, Philo and Hal return to Arkansas to groom Yeti back pelts. "You gotta say what flavor of sauce you want when you walk in the door", yelled Philo somewhat dejectedly. Kids are getting away with murder and low order fun-raising while Hal continues to underoverestimate Puzzling. After retrieving its garment, the Show whipped up a soufflé and got a woody. Suddenly, without their garments Drs. Howwll and Drummond danced a mad conjuring jig but suddenly noticed their nudity and became ashamed in the face of the Show. In their old country, they were respected as Doktors.

The Show goes rogue and starts out teasing "The Boys" by disassembling itself and hiding the important parts under the board. Then when it gets too hot, the Show starts crying like a little bitch and extinguishes the fire with its tears. Later on, the Boys sneak behind the Show's butt and boobytrap the Show's mindfield while distracting the listeners with mundane banter. The Puzzling Evidence Radio Show.

Well, what do you know? Puzzling, back from his nameless sojourns and tired of substitutes, immediately kicks the shows ass and takes names. Philo muses over the fruity stench emanating from the caller pool. Lost Little Radio Valencia shows like NHLG, KRoB, Dr. Hal, struggle and grope blindly trying to find their way to the Puzzling Evidence Show just to be trampled by the Dinosaurs of Slack at the transom of KPFA. Subliminal Seduction code from 40:11 to 41:56. Philo, Hal and Puzzling develop an alternate history that can be easily carried in a fresh backpack. Then, using the original Latin texts, Philo, Hal and Puzzling delve deep into the esoteric mysteries surrounding the ancient phenonmenon known as Fridolphus the Thirteenthicus. As usual, the callers fruitlessly attempt to hijack the Show to a thrid world nation of their own design. The Puzzling Evidence Radio Show on KPFA.

I was in a hurry so this description is written by Bing AI. "Puzzling Evidence" is an improvisational radio program that airs on KPFA 94.1 FM Berkeley². The show is hosted by Mixmaster Puzzling Evidence, Dr. Philo Drummond, and Dr. Hal Robins⁵. Here's Hal Robins' description of "Puzzling Evidence": "Deranged “edits” segue into a cascade of echoing glossolaliac madness, the voicing of lyric ruminations from the free-falling brains of disintegrating personalities. And some people, demented individuals, obsessively record every word and squealing sound effect."¹³⁴ The show is an improvisational radio program where anything can happen! Join hosts Mixmaster Puzzling Evidence, Dr. Philo Drummond, and Dr. Hal Robins as they delve into the mysteries of the universe from a SubGenius perspective, explore the quirks of human behavior, and provide witty commentary on the absurdities of modern life1. The Church of the SubGenius is a parody religion that satirizes organized religion and other forms of authority. It teaches a complex philosophy that focuses on the attainment of “Slack”, which is loosely defined as the ability to do what one wants without worry. I hope this helps!

Philo and Little Puzzling Evidence - The Troll Hunters of Dobbstown A Smelly Troll Plot by Buttly Shitstonville Philo Drummond is just an ordinary seven-year-old boy living in Dobbstown, until he sees a horrifying troll, called Evil Dr. Howlland Owll, climb in through his bedroom window. Evil Dr. Howlland, who is built like a potato filled with rocks and smells like grated rotten puke cheese smothered with sauce made from fermented skunks asses, sings a song about making little boys into breakfast. Philo tricks the troll into falling out of his window by telling him that there are child-brain in-between meal snacks outside. He realizes that the troll has to be stopped before he eats any more children and sets to work trying to invent a trap. Meanwhile, in a cave just outside Dobbstown, Little Puzzling Evidenceson starts to suspect that eating children is wrong, and grows tired of hunting with his fellow trolls. He decides to live as a vegetarian. After a brief misunderstanding involving an extra chicken leg and lashings of ketchup, Philo and Little Puzzling team up to stop the trolls, using a catapult that fires rotten durian fruit. They lure the trolls by creating a big mound of crusty socks and boogers. Praise for Philo and Little Puzzling - The Troll Hunters of Dobbstown "I can smell Evil Dr. Howlland Owll from here!"- Zob Gloop "What a terrifying tale. I hope a troll never climbs in through my window. I don't think I've got any durian fruit."- The Daily Tale "About as frightening as a very small mouse standing on a tiny pillow, but it does warm my heart to read about children and trolls working together."- Enid Kibbler "Grated rotten puke cheese? Yuck!"- Hit the Spoof --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/philo-drummond/message

This reduces the results of [12] to well-known properties of sets. In The Show, the authors address the existence of Cavalieri SUBalgebras under the additional assumption that there exists a left-canonical a most surely P -solvable vector. Therefore the work in the Show did not consider the semi-smooth, trivially Y -finite, ultra-everywhere integral case, as in fish-feeding reverse bad thing re-installation reduction strategies and such, We substantially increased caller lower-colon performance with less than 50% of the expected collateral damage which is no big deal. Dr. Hal ran our NMAP system on commodity operating systems, such as Microsoft Windows NT and Coyotos. Puzz Ev added support for our framework as a statically-linked user- caller-space application. Our lower-colon inhabitants experiments soon proved that exokernelizing our fuzzy Knesis Philo brand keyboards was more effective than making them autonomously, as previous work suggested. Our experiments soon proved that microkernelizing our PDP 11s was more effective than exokernelizing them, as previous work suggested. We note that other researchers have tried and failed to enable this functionality. In any case, they survived and nobody's feelings got hurt. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/philo-drummond/message

The bearded seal. Can you tell where its name comes from? (Moustachioed seal might be more accurate.) (Also, note the ear opening with no external ear flap.) Show transcript: Welcome to Strange Animals Podcast. I'm your host, Kate Shaw. This week let's learn about some interesting seals. Thanks to Richard from NC who suggested freshwater seals, which is where we'll start. Most seals live on the coast and spend most of the time in the ocean. But there's one species of seal that lives exclusively in fresh water. That's the Baikal [bay-CALL] seal, and the only place it lives is a big lake in Siberia called Lake Baikal. Lake Baikal formed where two sections of the earth's crust are being pulled apart by continental drift. That's called a rift lake or rift valley lake. The lake gets bigger every year, but only by a tiny amount—just under an inch, or 2 cm. Since this has been going on for an estimated 25 to 30 million years, though, it's an extremely big, deep lake. It is, in fact, the deepest lake on earth, and is also the oldest lake on earth. It's more than twice as old as Lake Tanganyika in East Africa, which is also a large, deep rift lake but only about 12 million years old at the most. Lake Baikal is almost 400 miles long, or 636 km, and nearly 50 miles wide, or 80 km. At its deepest point, it's 3,893 feet deep, or 1,186.5 meters. That's from the surface of the water to the muddy bottom. But that mud and sediment on the bottom has been building up for a very long time and there's a lot of it—4.3 miles of it, in fact, or 7 km. The water is very clear and very oxygenated, but the surface freezes for several months out of the year. Then again, there are some hydrothermal vents, especially in the deepest areas, that heat the water around them to 122 degrees Fahrenheit, or 50 Celsius. Because Lake Baikal is so deep, so big, so oxygenated, and so old, lots of species of animal live in and around it that live nowhere else in the world. That includes the Baikal seal. The Baikal seal is related to the Arctic ringed seal but has lived in the lake exclusively for probably two million years. It only grows five and a half feet long at most, or 1.65 meters, and is usually closer to four feet long, or 1.2 meters. It's gray in color and has no external ears, so that its head appears smooth. It can still hear, but because it doesn't have ears sticking out of its head, it's more streamlined than seals with external ears. It has large eyes, a pair of front flippers that it uses to maneuver in the water and on land, and a pair of hind flippers that act like a tail instead of legs. That's actually the main difference between earless and eared seals. Earless seals are more streamlined in general and more adapted for life in the water and for deep diving, but they're awkward on land because they can't use their hind limbs for walking. Eared seals have little flaps of external ears and while their hind flippers act as a tail in the water, the seal can turn its hind flippers over to walk on them on land. The Baikal seal is quite small for a seal, which keeps it from needing as much food as a bigger animal. For a long time people thought the Baikal seal mostly ate fish,

In this episode, Jenny talks with us about the poem that has been a friend to her – 'Mushrooms' by Sylvia Plath. Jenny joined The Poetry Exchange online and is in conversation with Poetry Exchange team members, Fiona Bennett and John Prebble. Fiona reads the gift reading of 'Mushrooms'. ***** Mushrooms by Sylvia Plath Overnight, very Whitely, discreetly, Very quietly Our toes, our noses Take hold on the loam, Acquire the air. Nobody sees us, Stops us, betrays us; The small grains make room. Soft fists insist on Heaving the needles, The leafy bedding, Even the paving. Our hammers, our rams, Earless and eyeless, Perfectly voiceless, Widen the crannies, Shoulder through holes. We Diet on water, On crumbs of shadow, Bland-mannered, asking Little or nothing. So many of us! So many of us! We are shelves, we are Tables, we are meek, We are edible, Nudgers and shovers In spite of ourselves. Our kind multiplies: We shall by morning Inherit the earth. Our foot's in the door. From Collected Poems (1981) by Sylvia Plath, published by Faber and Faber Ltd. ***** For more information surrounding our upcoming event, 'In The Company of Poems', please visit www.thepoetryexchange.co.uk

Uncanny Japan - Exploring Japanese Myths, Folktales, Superstitions, History and Language
After coming to live in Japan (1890), Lafcadio Hearn listened intently to the folk stories and ghostly tales that were related to him. He then wrote them down in English, adding his own unique style and began publishing books of his gathered observances and retellings. Glimpses of Unfamiliar Japan, Exotics and Retrospectives, and Kwaidan to name a few. Today on Uncanny Japan, I read you "Mimi-nashi Hoichi", arguably Mr. Hearn's most well-known story. A story that has been made into a movie, appears on stage, shows up in manga, music, and is told on stages even today. As a matter of fact, I have tickets to go see a performance of Mimi-Nashi Hoichi in May.

Strange superstitions and old wives tales, cultural oddities and interesting language quirks. These are little treasures I dig up while doing research for my writing, and I want to share them with you here on Uncanny Japan. I hope you like the show. [00:29] Hey, hey everyone. This is Terrie on Uncanny Japan. Before I go into more detail about the tengu and all those other weird things I want to talk about, I want to interrupt with this story. This story is also by Koizumi Yakimo--Lafcadio Hearn, and it's called the story of Mimi-Nashi Hoichi, or, The Earless Hoichi. [00:57] Some centuries ago there lived at Akamagaseki a blind man named Hoichi, who was famed for his skill in recitation and in playing upon the biwa. From childhood he had been trained to recite and to play; and while yet a lad he had surpassed his teachers. As a professional biwa-hoshi he became famous chiefly by his recitations of the history of the Heike and the Genji; and it is said that when he sang the song of the battle of Dan-no-ura "even the goblins, the k1ijin, could not refrain from tears." [01:40] At the outset of his career, Hoichi was very poor; but he found a good friend to help him. The priest of the Amidaji was fond of poetry and music; and he often invited Hoichi to the temple, to play and recite. Afterwards, being much impressed by the wonderful skill of the lad, the priest proposed that Hoichi should make the temple his home; and this offer was gratefully accepted. Hoichi was given a room in the temple-building; and, in return for food and lodging, he was required only to gratify the priest with a musical performance on certain evenings, when otherwise disengaged. [02:19] One summer night the priest was called away, to perform a Buddhist service at the house of a dead parishioner; and he went there with his acolyte, leaving Hoichi alone in the temple. It was a hot night; and the blind man sought to cool himself on the verandah before his sleeping-room. The verandah overlooked a small garden in the rear of the Amidaji. There Hoichi waited for the priest's return, and tried to relieve his solitude by practicing upon his biwa. Midnight passed; and the priest did not appear. But the atmosphere was still too warm for comfort within doors; and Hoichi remained outside. At last he heard steps approaching from the back gate. Somebody crossed the garden, advanced to the verandah, and halted directly in front of him -- but it was not the priest. [03:24] A deep voice called the blind man's name - - abruptly and unceremoniously, in the manner of a samurai summoning an inferior:- - [03:36] "Hoichi!" [03:36] "Hai!" answered the blind man, frightened by the menace in the voice, - - "I am blind! - - I cannot know who calls!" [03:46] "There is nothing to fear," the stranger exclaimed, speaking more gently. "I am stopping near this temple, and have been sent to you with a message. My present lord, a person of exceedingly high rank, is now staying in Akamagaseki, with many noble attendants. He wished to view the scene of the battle of Dan-no-ura; and to-day he visited that place. Having heard of your skill in reciting the story of the battle, he now desires to hear your performance: so you will take your biwa and come with me at once to the house where the august assembly is waiting." [04:32] In those times, the order of a samurai was not to be lightly disobeyed. Hoichi donned his sandals, took his biwa, and went away with the stranger, who guided him deftly, but obliged him to walk very fast. The hand that guided was iron; and the clank of the warrior's stride proved him fully armed,-- probably some palace-guard on duty. Hoichi's first alarm was over: he began to imagine himself in good luck; -- for, remembering the retainer's assurance about a "person of exceedingly high rank," he thought that the lord who wished to hear the recitation could not be less than a daimyo of the first class. Presently the samurai halted; and Hoichi became aware that they had arrived at a large gateway; -- and he wondered, for he could not remember any large gate in that part of the town, except the main gate of the Amidaji. "Kaimon!" the samurai called,-- and there was a sound of unbarring; and the twain passed on. They traversed a space of garden, and halted again before some entrance; and the retainer cried in a loud voice, "Within there! I have brought Hoichi." Then came sounds of feet hurrying, and screens sliding, and rain-doors opening, and voices of women in converse. By the language of the women Hoichi knew them to be domestics in some noble household; but he could not imagine to what place he had been conducted. Little time was allowed him for conjecture. After he had been helped to mount several stone steps, upon the last of which he was told to leave his sandals, a woman's hand guided him along interminable reaches of polished planking, and round pillared angles too many to remember, and over widths amazing of matted floor,-- into the middle of some vast apartment. There he thought that many great people were assembled: the sound of the rustling of silk was like the sound of leaves in a forest. He heard also a great humming of voices,-- talking in undertones; and the speech was the speech of courts. [07:08] Hoichi was told to put himself at ease, and he found a kneeling-cushion ready for him. After having taken his place upon it, and tuned his instrument, the voice of a woman -- whom he divined to be the Rojo, a matron in charge of the female service -- addressed him, saying,-- [07:31] "It is now required that the history of the Heike be recited, to the accompaniment of the biwa." [07:41] Now the entire recital would have required a time of many nights: therefore Hoichi ventured a question:-- [07:51] "As the whole of the story is not soon told, what portion is it augustly desired that I now recite?" [08:00] The woman's voice made answer:-- [08:03] "Recite the story of the battle at Dan-no-ura,-- for the pity of it is the most deep." [08:11] Then Hoichi lifted up his voice, and chanted the chant of the fight on the bitter sea,-- wonderfully making his biwa to sound like the straining of oars and the rushing of ships, the whirr and the hissing of arrows, the shouting and trampling of men, the crashing of steel upon helmets, the plunging of slain in the flood. And to left and right of him, in the pauses of his playing, he could hear voices murmuring praise: "How marvelous an artist!" -- "Never in our own province was playing heard like this!" -- "Not in all the empire is there another singer like Hoichi!" Then fresh courage came to him, and he played and sang yet better than before; and a hush of wonder deepened about him. [09:04] But when at last he came to tell the fate of the fair and helpless,-- the piteous perishing of the women and children,-- and the death-leap of Nii-no-Ama, with the imperial infant in her arms,-- then all the listeners uttered together one long, long shuddering cry of anguish; and thereafter they wept and wailed so loudly and so wildly that the blind man was frightened by the violence and grief that he had made. For much time the sobbing and the wailing continued. But gradually the sounds of lamentation died away; and again, in the great stillness that followed, Hoichi heard the voice of the woman whom he supposed to be the Rojo. [09:50] She said:-- [09:52] "Although we had been assured that you were a very skillful player upon the biwa, and without an equal in recitative, we did not know that any one could be so skillful as you have proved yourself to-night. Our lord has been pleased to say that he intends to bestow upon you a fitting reward. But he desires that you shall perform before him once every night for the next six nights -- after which time he will probably make his august return-journey. To-morrow night, therefore, you are to come here at the same hour. The retainer who to-night conducted you will be sent for you... There is another matter about which I have been ordered to inform you. It is required that you shall speak to no one of your visits here, during the time of our lord's august sojourn at Akamagaseki. As he is traveling incognito, he commands that no mention of these things be made... You are now free to go back to your temple." [11:00] After Hoichi had duly expressed his thanks, a woman's hand conducted him to the entrance of the house, where the same retainer, who had before guided him, was waiting to take him home. The retainer led him to the verandah at the rear of the temple, and there bade him farewell. [11:20] It was almost dawn when Hoichi returned; but his absence from the temple had not been observed,-- as the priest, coming back at a very late hour, had supposed him asleep. During the day Hoichi was able to take some rest; and he said nothing about his strange adventure. In the middle of the following night the samurai again came for him, and led him to the august assembly, where he gave another recitation with the same success that had attended his previous performance. But during this second visit his absence from the temple was accidentally discovered; and after his return in the morning he was summoned to the presence of the priest, who said to him, in a tone of kindly reproach:-- [12:09] "We have been very anxious about you, friend Hoichi. To go out, blind and alone, at so late an hour, is dangerous. Why did you go without telling us? I could have ordered a servant to accompany you. And where have you been?" [12:25] Hoichi answered, evasively,-- [12:29] "Pardon me kind friend! I had to attend to some private business; and I could not arrange the matter at any other hour." [12:37] The priest was surprised, rather than pained. He felt it to be unnatural, and suspected something wrong. He feared that the blind lad had been bewitched or deluded by some evil spirits. He did not ask any more questions; but he privately instructed the men-servants of the temple to keep watch upon Hoichi's movements, and to follow him in case that he should again leave the temple after dark. [13:03] On the very next night, Hoichi was seen to leave the temple; and the servants immediately lighted their lanterns, and followed after him. But it was a rainy night, and very dark; and before the temple-folks could get to the roadway, Hoichi had disappeared. Evidently he had walked very fast,-- a strange thing, considering his blindness; for the road was in a bad condition. The men hurried through the streets, making inquiries at every house which Hoichi was accustomed to visit; but nobody could give them any news of him. At last, as they were returning to the temple by way of the shore, they were startled by the sound of a biwa, furiously played, in the cemetery of the Amidaji. Except for some ghostly fires -- such as usually flitted there on dark nights -- all was blackness in that direction. But the men at once hastened to the cemetery; and there, by the help of their lanterns, they discovered Hoichi,-- sitting alone in the rain before the memorial tomb of Antoku Tenno, making his biwa resound, and loudly chanting the chant of the battle of Dan-no-ura. And behind him, and about him, and everywhere above the tombs, the fires of the dead were burning, like candles. Never before had so great a host of Oni-bi appeared in the sight of mortal man... [14:43] "Hoichi San! -- Hoichi San!" the servants cried,-- "you are bewitched!.. Hoichi San!" [14:50] But the blind man did not seem to hear. Strenuously he made his biwa to rattle and ring and clang; -- more and more wildly he chanted the chant of the battle of Dan-no-ura. They caught hold of him; -- they shouted into his ear,-- [15:07] "Hoichi San! -- Hoichi San! -- come home with us at once!" [15:12] Reprovingly he spoke to them:-- [15:15] "To interrupt me in such a manner, before this august assembly, will not be tolerated." [15:22] Whereat, in spite of the weirdness of the thing, the servants could not help laughing. Sure that he had been bewitched, they now seized him, and pulled him up on his feet, and by main force hurried him back to the temple,-- where he was immediately relieved of his wet clothes, by order of the priest. Then the priest insisted upon a full explanation of his friend's astonishing behavior. [15:51] Hoichi long hesitated to speak. But at last, finding that his conduct had really alarmed and angered the good priest, he decided to abandon his reserve; and he related everything that had happened from the time of first visit of the samurai. [16:09] The priest said:-- [16:11] "Hoichi, my poor friend, you are now in great danger! How unfortunate that you did not tell me all this before! Your wonderful skill in music has indeed brought you into strange trouble. By this time you must be aware that you have not been visiting any house whatever, but have been passing your nights in the cemetery, among the tombs of the Heike; -- and it was before the memorial-tomb of Antoku Tenno that our people to-night found you, sitting in the rain. All that you have been imagining was illusion -- except the calling of the dead. By once obeying them, you have put yourself in their power. If you obey them again, after what has already occurred, they will tear you in pieces. But they would have destroyed you, sooner or later, in any event... Now I shall not be able to remain with you to-night: I am called away to perform another service. But, before I go, it will be necessary to protect your body by writing holy texts upon it." [17:24] Before sundown the priest and his acolyte stripped Hoichi: then, with their writing-brushes, they traced upon his breast and back, head and face and neck, limbs and hands and feet,-- even upon the soles of his feet, and upon all parts of his body,-- the text of the holy sutra called Hannya-Shin-Kyo. When this had been done, the priest instructed Hoichi, saying:-- [17:55] "To-night, as soon as I go away, you must seat yourself on the verandah, and wait. You will be called. But, whatever may happen, do not answer, and do not move. Say nothing and sit still -- as if meditating. If you stir, or make any noise, you will be torn asunder. Do not get frightened; and do not think of calling for help -- because no help could save you. If you do exactly as I tell you, the danger will pass, and you will have nothing more to fear." [18:31] After dark the priest and the acolyte went away; and Hoichi seated himself on the verandah, according to the instructions given him. He laid his biwa on the planking beside him, and, assuming the attitude of meditation, remained quite still,-- taking care not to cough, or to breathe audibly. For hours he stayed thus. [18:55] Then, from the roadway, he heard the steps coming. They passed the gate, crossed the garden, approached the verandah, stopped -- directly in front of him. [18:57] "Hoichi!" the deep voice called. But the blind man held his breath, and sat motionless. [19:23] "Hoichi!" grimly called the voice a second time. Then a third time -- savagely:-- [19:29] "Hoichi!" [19:29] Hoichi remained as still as a stone,-- and the voice grumbled:-- [19:35] "No answer! -- that won't do!... Must see where the fellow is."... [19:44] There was a noise of heavy feet mounting upon the verandah. The feet approached deliberately,-- halted beside him. Then, for long minutes,-- during which Hoichi felt his whole body shake to the beating of his heart,-- there was dead silence. [20:03] At last the gruff voice muttered close to him:-- [20:06] "Here is the biwa; but of the biwa-player I see -- only two ears!... So that explains why he did not answer: he had no mouth to answer with -- there is nothing left of him but his ears... Now to my lord those ears I will take -- in proof that the august commands have been obeyed, so far as was possible"... [20:35] At that instant Hoichi felt his ears gripped by fingers of iron, and torn off! Great as the pain was, he gave no cry. The heavy footfalls receded along the verandah,-- descended into the garden,-- passed out to the roadway,-- ceased. From either side of his head, the blind man felt a thick warm trickling; but he dared not lift his hands.. [21:02] Before sunrise the priest came back. He hastened at once to the verandah in the rear, stepped and slipped upon something clammy, and uttered a cry of horror; -- for he saw, by the light of his lantern, that the clamminess was blood. But he perceived Hoichi sitting there, in the attitude of meditation -- with the blood still oozing from his wounds. [21:27] "My poor Hoichi!" cried the startled priest,-- "what is this?... You have been hurt?... [21:36] At the sound of his friend's voice, the blind man felt safe. He burst out sobbing, and tearfully told his adventure of the night. [21:46] "Poor, poor Hoichi!" the priest exclaimed,-- "all my fault! -- my very grievous fault!... Everywhere upon your body the holy texts had been written -- except upon your ears! I trusted my acolyte to do that part of the work; and it was very, very wrong of me not to have made sure that he had done it!... Well, the matter cannot now be helped; -- we can only try to heal your hurts as soon as possible... Cheer up, friend! -- the danger is now well over. You will never again be troubled by those visitors." [22:24] With the aid of a good doctor, Hoichi soon recovered from his injuries. The story of his strange adventure spread far and wide, and soon made him famous. Many noble persons went to Akamagaseki to hear him recite; and large presents of money were given to him,-- so that he became a wealthy man... But from the time of this adventure, he was known only by the appellation of Mimi-nashi-Hoichi: "Hoichi-the-Earless." The end. [23:11] Pssst! Hey, do you like scary stories? Or maybe you don’t do full-on horror, but enjoy a nice dark tale. Something creepy involving Japanese folklore and superstition. Well, if that’s the case, you can sneak on over to Amazon or wherever you like to buy books and look for my two short story collections: A Robe of Feathers and The Carp-Faced Boy. All you need to do is search for Theresa Matsuura. Let me spell that for you. T-H-E-R-S-A, M-A-T-S-U-U-R-A. Another place you can find me doing things is on Patreon. There, once a month for my five dollar and up patrons, I translate, retell and record obscure Japanese folktales. Some are dark, some are humorous, some are just weird. And lastly, another super sweet thing you can do is to write a review on iTunes. By doing this you help like minded people find Uncanny Japan. It’s a little thing but it means a lot and it’s a great big help. Thank you, I’m Thersa Matsuura, and I’ll talk to you soon. (Transcribed using Happy Scribe)
