If a feather fell from a weather bell, would you wonder whether your will would be well? Or would wonder well in your whither well till your whethers wilt as your feathers filled? Do you know the answer? It takes puzzling the sphinxian riddle to cross the threshold into the King's Chamber. But cross it we do! Welcome back for the first time to episode 18 of the Post Relevant Podcast. This just might be the very most ultimates-est and super-bestest episode of the podcast ever created in three-dimensional time space! Or even in 7 dimensional thrime-space! (Thrime-space is sort of like time-space, but in in the 7th dimension...it's too hard to explain right now....) Reaching new levels of sound design and special effects, the King's Chamber is a right banger, I must say! Brother Andy returns once again to hash it out with show host Phil Ristaino, and they re-create the scene in "Under the Silver Lake" where Sam is chained to a chair in a bear cave and has to explain his way out of possessing dog biscuits to the mysterious Homeless King. You might ask, how can you make a two hour podcast about a 5 minute scene in a movie from 2018? Well, look, its possible, ok? You gotta listen to the show to find out. You should get an answer right around the 2 hour mark, keep listening.... Here's how the truths are revealed: 1. We enter the great pyramid and confront the futuristic riddle. 2. Phil and Andy make several left turns at Albuquerque as they remember Bugs Bunny's "Wackiki Rabbit," ask why brother Mark is avoiding being on the show, how Death loves showbiz in "Bill and Ted's Bogus Journey," how to speak English with a bad Swedish accent, who is a hamburger and who is a hotdog, and how to effortlessly create your own foley for a podcast by banging and clanging stuff off-handedly while recording. Among other things! This beginning of the show is most non-heinous! 3. Max Flackman (aka Matt Kalman, guest from the infamous episode 13 where Phil and Max get drunk) re-emerges from the woodlands of upstate NY to respond to Phil's revelations of all the lies Oliver Stone foisted on the unsuspecting public when he released his 90s epic "The Doors." Hint - Jim Morrison never killed a duck. Gasp! That's just scratching the surface.... 4. Yet another brand new song is played, entitled "Tall Girl." Pretty self-explanatory. 5. In the decode section of the show, we talk about being pregnant in a float tank and arguing with Judge Mablean on national TV. Andy talks about the imminent arrival of his new baby. Phil explores the UTSL reddit. Phil digs into the relationship between Homeless King actor David Yow and Kurt Cobain. Phil re-investigates the Horned God/Osiris/Green Man connections in the movie. Phil and Andy re-ennact the aforementioned scene between the Homeless King and Sam. Is the truth revealed? We notice Sam's been sitting on his gun the whole time. Phil and Andy finish the episode still trying to figure out what "Hamburgers Are Love" means....

The Post Relevant Podcast episode 13, "Dog Paddling in the Deep End of the Silver Lake," has crawled its half-blind way out of the life-slime of the cement pond and is now roaming the city streets for warm-blooded crowds to consume and the tallest building on top of which to build its gigantic nest. This is a lively and strange discussion, a wild ride of a conversation, inter-splicing two talks in time, and featuring a complete musical score, with actor/writer/director/editor/woodsman Matt Kalman. Matt has been listening to the podcast and now has some insightful theories of his own to share. We talk about our past doing weird theater together, Matt's film projects, and then we go deep into his theories on "Under the Silver Lake." Plus! I get really drunk! Honestly and truly. Also! A brand new song mostly about "Under the Silver Lake" called 'Jodorowsky's House Keys.' Its time travel, I say! Quality podcasting found wherever podcasts lurk....

In this edition of Zero Pucks given, Matt Kalman joins Dale Arnold to discuss the previous season and what's coming up for the Bruins. They open talking about the Bruins and Lightning series and what they could learn from it for next season.Tuukka Rask is the most polarizing figure in sports but he was not the problem against the Lightning. They assess the defensive pairings and the loss of Torey Krug. Can the Bruins live with two 5'9 defensemen? Bruins need to find a veteran left shot third pair defenseman and then choose between Grzelcyk and Krug. They discuss the importance of Chara even at his age 41 year.They recap the offensive lines and how the fourth line disappeared in the playoffs, how Riley Nash is probably going to leave Boston and who is going to fill in on the third line. Danton Heinen might find himself being traded, but he can be plugged into the top 9. David Backes had a lost season, but when healthy he was good. He's not living up to the contract, he's basically here for leadership, might not get much more out of him. Rick Nash most likely will not be back, he gave virtually nothing in the playoffs. David Krejci has been a disappointment, why can no one play with him?The first line of Marchand-Bergeron-Pastrnak has been unstoppable, the Bruins lost because no one else could score. Brad Marchand plays with an edge, but now he's too good for it. If Bergeron wins his 5th Selke it's time to start thinking Hall of Fame.Rookies that could make an impact next year, Ryan Donato, Forsbacka-Karlsson, Jessie Gabriel, Vaakanainen. Maybe include some rookies to find a left shot defenseman and include Torey Krug. Sweeney might want to get back into the first round. Dal
